radio 1 site going to the dogs. apparently this is the last week of the chatroom in the top 40 chart. the chart doesnt get updated live either, it usually gets put at 5 past 7 but at 8pm now its still not up.

[Sidders]

Where does the expression 'going to the dogs' come from?

[Uglybob]

going to the dogs, dog tired, to die like a dog, dog’s dinner, dogsbody, dog eat dog, and a dog’s life all refer to a state of affairs best avoided.

yeah anything related to a dog... automatically sh*te.

apart from "a dogs life" of course.

I'd like to be a dog. It'd be fun .

[Jono]

Make your own jokes up there.

[Lucie]

Wow, that took 4 minutes. Longer than I thought.

[Sidders]

It'd be boring, you'd just lie around doing naff all all day and get excited about walkied and sniffing lamposts and other dogs rear ends.

As much as I love dogs I wouldn't want to be one.

Ooh but my dog is so happy! He just lies around all day and then when he gets taken out he runs around like crazy and has the BEST fun. And then he gets to spend the evening being stroked whilst I'm watching the telly. Plus he has no worries at all. I tell you, being a dog would be great!

[Sidders]

Simple things please simple minds.

Except actually physically going to the dogs... Good night out that is.

Cats have the best lives ever - laze around, get fed, then go out and catch something else to eat, come and go as they please, go where they like...

[Sidders]

come and go as they please, go where they like...

Just like humans really...

[MK Chris]

It costs us money though.

[Sidders]

Yeah, why did we ever invent that?

[MK Chris]

Actually I always wondered that as a kid. Maybe that demonstrates your mentality...

[Quincy]

we cant go into other peoples back gardens like cats can though and if we do we get shot at

[Uglybob]

then again on some housing estates so do the cats

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

or passing cars in salford.

[DemonHorse]

yeah cars passing within a mile radius

[Sidders]

A guy near us kept poisoning cats, think he got sent to prison in the end.

[Betti911]

A woman in my street is feeding foxes

[MK Chris]

That's not quite the same though is it - feeding is an act of kindness... Poisoning is not. Come on, you're a lawyer, surely you can tell the difference?

[Betti911]

I hit return before I could finish the rest of the post. A huge amount of foxes now gather at the bottom of the street at night cause of this silly bird and I've heard that another neighbour annoyed at the mess and noise they make has started to leave out poisioned food for them to get rid of the pests.

[Sidders]

Stops them killing chickens i spose.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

foxes are just large rats. smelly horrible snidey creatures.
