I know that poor Chihuahua has been put through the proverbial mill over his knee jerk response to the proggy. However, (call me a killjoy) I do find it somewhat disconcerting that others take an almost sadistic delight in rubbing his nose in it (pun not intentional). It sort of indicates a schoolboyish mentality that (OK) is acceptable up to a point but I think some of you guys have gone beyond this.

Personally I would rather trust someone that cares about something that they take at face value rather than someone that adopts this somewhat smug (ie I would never make such a stupid and fundamental mistake) approach. Admit it (if you can), we've all got hold of the wrong end of the stick at some point in out lives. This holier-than-thou attitude can, in other circumstances, lead to a rather more serious outcome.

Sorry to pour cold water on the fun. It was a great piece of broadcasting though (for a change).
