If you look closely at the pictur, you'll see Matthew looks rather damp. I do hope that Max hadn't disgraced himself. It is interesting to see that Matthew thinks the most important issue in Hendon is whether he can take his woofter to work. Hasn't he heard about the Metpro scandal?
As for me, I think Offord has a valid case. I've seen Matthew out and about with Max and he's a lovely little doggy, very bright indeed. Guide dogs for the blind are allowed, so surely clever dogs for the stupid are equally valid? Mind you I suppose that there is a risk of tripping over whilst serving the soup.
I think Mr Offord feels that dragging Max around will make his owner appear warm and lovable: aah ... poor Max was driven to eating poison the other week,remember, in a desperate cry for help.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, wouldn't it be nice if MPs would rememember that they are in office to represent their constituents, and use parliamentary procedures for that purpose, and human rights legislation in order to benefit those in real need, rather than for such facetious, trivial matters?

ReplyDeleteWell, 286, and one comment from a 'Dave' asking for the carrot and coriander, and crusty roll.
It's all too much. http://matthewfharris.blogspot.com/2011/06/you-can-do-your-own-dog-joke.html
