Re: Digging

I'm with you there, Art.

I just think people make genuine mistakes and don't think to look at dates posted - no harm meant.

Re: Digging

I think, sometimes, folks are offered too much lateral.

Re: Digging

Perhaps they are finding a place to bury their pet Hampster. Mine was called Pompodore

Re: Digging

Goldielocks, That was a very unfortunate name for a tiny animal! Did you shorten it?!!

Re: Digging

Our Hamster was called Radial, it spent loads of time in It's wheel, it died before it could become Radialicised.

Re: Digging

Where did you get him from? Hamsterdam?!!

Re: Digging

Poor hamster, ours was called Hammy, we never got another, kids were too upset when he died. Then Son got ratties, they don't live long either, but they do make better pets than hamsters.
Back to the purpose of this thread, I agree with others, new members pick subject titles that suit them & never check the dates.

Re: Digging

Certainly not from Hampshire.

Re: Digging

I had three hamsters when I was a kid, not all at the same time though, and each of them I called "Twinkle." Always the same name.

I remember when one 'Twinkle' died, putting him in a little empty toffee box 'lantern' with see-through cellophane windows to bury him in the garden.
My horrid brother got so annoyed with me because I kept putting the little box in the hole he'd dug, then sobbing my heart out and lifting it back out again!

Re: Digging

Pomp when we buried him alive accidentally we thought he was hibernating but found a little escape tunnel. We often stood and stared in memory plus a lollipop stick as a cross
