Spoilt for choice?

I break down on the roundabout in Basingstoke. There is a man there in flagrante with a car exhaust.

He asks me whether I'm dogging.

I tell him he's barking up the wrong tree.

Thank you for picking up the baton and diverting the attention of the dregs who have been populating my corner of the web.
Your reward is in an email.
I dare you to publish it.

Please post an item on "Celebrity Doggers." Thank you.

. . .and while you're at it could you do something on "Celebrity Goosers"? Or I suppose "Celebrity Geese" would do, at a pinch. The only memory I have of Basingstoke is of playing in the orchestra pit for a Christmas pantomime and being privileged to view from below the mechanism whereby the goose laid golden eggs. Your picture, with its overtones of ovipositors, brought this to mind.

Vicus, I do not dare to publish it. You know Top Gear is copyrighted by the BBC. But thank you for helping me dislodge the contents of my stomach.

MJ, the only dogger I know of is former footballer Stan Collymore. Why do you think I should know more?

Mr P - The only celebrity gooser I can think of is the Duke of Edinburgh. What makes you think i should know of more?

The bloke who plays Phil Mitchell on EastEnders...Steve McFadden. And there must be more. Please investigate.

Am I supposed to go out in the late evening with dark glasses, raincoat, and dog?

Just in the chance of catching an ugly soap star?

No wonder Steve's hoarse - all that barking.

Really, is it too much to ask?

OK, let's go for the Duke of Edinburgh, if you can't come up with anything better. I didn't know he was a Basingstoke man.

Seen the e-mail from Vicus.

What would happen if the car backfired?

I think Boris Yeltsin is a celebrity gooser. I'm sure I saw a clip of him walking past a rather stout woman from a Kremlin admin. department and her eyes popped out of her head because of his wondering hand.

I would have kicked him in the balls.

Didn't Ronald Reagan goose Margaret Thatcher? Mind you, they had a special understanding of each other.

He'd find it difficult to find any meat on that scraggy old bird.

I think we need to define our terms here. Is a celebrity gooser a possibly quite obscure and humble person who gooses celebrities, or somebody well-known for other qualities who gooses other people, even the obscure and humble? Or indeed somebody famous only for goosing? Or for being goosed? I think I speak for your loyal readership in regarding you, Geoff, as the fount of wisdom on this.

Just off to the roundabout.

I think the gooser should be a famous celebrity. Their fame, however, should not be due to their goosing expertise.

The goosee need not be a celebrity but must be human and act surprised when goosed.

Dogs? Geese? Haven't you people heard about the Aardvarks?
