Surely the title of this thread is a mistake? I am sure it should be "Blind Dogs for the Guides", a well-known Charity.

LES BARKING-MAD
COSMO THE VERY INACCURATE MACHINE-GUNNER*
SNOTT OF THE ANTARCTIC

* = Reminds me of my Uncle Fred, who won the Victoria Cross for saving the lives of a whole regiment of men during the War - he shot the cook. Then there was Uncle Sidney, who fought with the Army, the Navy and the Air Force - he just couldn't get along with anyone. When war broke out, cousin Billy was only 14, but like many others he lied about his age - he said he was 74. Auntie Betty was only unfaithful to her husband twice during the war - once with the milkman, and once with the Household Cavalry.
