Our house is big enough for me, Mr Starry three Starry juniors and three dogs to live happily.

The horses, pigs, goat and sheep live on my sisters farm/livery yard.

Ah right. I was thinking most people don't have the space for that leve of animals in their back garden...

Based on your old signature, I was wondering/hoping it wasn't William of Orange..

My dog's called Phoenix. Our previous two dogs died in pretty tragic circumstances within a few months of each other, and they were both cremated. We scattered their ashes in the back garden, so when we got a new puppy I suggested calling him Phoenix, in the hope that he'd rise from the ashes, so to speak. The rest of the family initially thought it was a sick suggestion, but the name stuck anyway. Fat bastard's seven now, and strong as an ox.

My tarantulas are called Rosy, because she's a Chilean Rose, Myra, because she murdered another spider in her last home, and Mandy, after a venomous ex-girlfriend.

No, not William of Orange, but what signature are you talking about?

Something about "Pride before Side" which you had attributed to "King Billy". Which I now presume is also Billy Bremner but back then had me wondering, as to an Irishman, King Billy usually means guys marching down a road with bowler hats and sashes...

boxer dog called zamora, for obvious reasons at the time, she's 4 years old today, and is now just called ZAM

tried to rename her oatway but she'd just tilt her head to the side and i'm sure she calls me a prick!!:angry:

Had a cat when I was 16 and called him Charlie, for no other reason than he looked like one and it kind of suited him. My gran wasn't too impressed though as it was also our Grandpa's name.
