Robbie Williams’ Fan Club

I’m thrilled to bits to learn that Robbie Williams’ Fan Club has been visititing my post.

But how about Robbie?

Has the great Robster also popped by to learn about his canine namesake? I believe he is a dog lover. Maybe he’d like to meet the little fellow.

Robbie, if you read this, give us a sign. And if you like, I’ll try to broker a meeting between you and the champagne-coated one.

I like animals, colour, the Thames, reading, cooking, writing, eating, walking. I don't like bullies, butchers' shops, crowded public transport, Nigel Farage.

  4. Ah…I wonder if I could do the same with, say,er, Brad Pitt, or Clooney? Or hey -what about Obama?! 😉

  10. That’s the nice thing about ‘Napoleon’; instantly recognisable to a Dead Dictators Fan Club, no surname necessary. My ferret was called Napoleon … yes, he’s dead too. 😦

  12. Is a catfish a goldfish Bilby? I think the answer is no.
    Now intrigued that you had two pets in the family both called Napoleon. No other pets named after tyrants, despots and dictators? Caligula the Tortoise, Attila the Hen, Margaret the Hamster perhaps?

  13. No, I don’t think so, Isobel; the image just popped into my head.

    The ferret was my childhood pet. Ara’s Napoleon was probably named by one of her girls in their goldfishkeeping stage, when I was in Oz.

    The tortoise was called ‘Timothy’, that well-known tyrant ;). Ah, our first dog was Peggy which is a diminutive of Margaret, so you could be onto something there …

  15. And was Peggy a handbag wielding termagant too?

    My great aunt had a dog called Peggy when my parents were courting. It was post war and everyone was living in the same house, actually it was said great aunt’s pub. Peggy’s tail would start to thump and they’d say ‘It must be Anne’.
    Which doesn’t make much sense unless you know my mother is called Anne.
    Ah well. Goodnight.

  16. Yes they do Bilby! Hello one and all; I’m just re emerging from piles of marking… (; I think on balance Robbie is better name than Brad Pitt because you at least have a chance of him meeting his furry namesake…

  18. I can see I’m going to have to be strong minded about going to bed, this discussion just having reached the silly stage that I love so much.
    Claire, what’s to stop anyone calling their pet Brad Pitt?

  20. Peggy didn’t have a handbag, which was a pity, as she was an ace thief and could have stashed her loot in it. Night night, Isobel.

    Hi, Claire!

  22. We had two cats, Jake and Elwood…. the Blues Brothers.

    However Elwood met with a car…twice. The second time fatally.

    So now we have Jake, but no one gets the joke now unless we explain.

  24. Aha! WEll, the only hindrance would be the small probability of the great man ever descending on me, to meet his furry friend. So I would have to give it the name of an English celeb to up my chances…; )

  26. Geez, that’s not come out sounding how I meant. I am the mistress of the unintentional on here, it seems…(;

  28. Brad Pitt the dog isn’t a pitbull, but I don’t know what he is. Take a look and maybe you’ll recognise the breed Bilby.
    George Clooney is a French bulldog.

  30. A link please, Isobel (#21). I have just read a horrible story about George Clooney beating a snake to death with a bat when it bit his dog (the dog died too!). 😦

  31. Aw, Levent…hey, did you see my comment on MyT re your poem? I said to re post it with the creative writing tag, and why don’ you put it up here? I really think you should…; )

  34. Seriously, Levent. Poems like that are meant to be seen..anyway. Will shut up now. I get all goose bumpy about these things sometimes…
    Night Isobel. I have to gotoo! ; )

  37. Thanks, Claire. Had a quick look. Could be anything … a bit hard to tell with a pup. I think it’s a cross.

    Night. 🙂
