If we are talking dogging then sure we need a quick mention for "Shamed Soccer Ace" Stan Collymore

Did nightclubs become too easy for this guy? Or does he need some lessons from Derek Jeter?

I would have thought they called it "dogging" because dogs tend to do this sort of thing (when they do this sort of thing) outside in full view, no?

Dogging comes from walking the dog -- voyeurs used to take the dog for a walk down the local "Lovers Lane" and spy on couples in parked cars.

Raise the bar guys. This isn't news, it isn't restricted to the UK. It's just another tawdry tabloid tale, FFS.

I believe it's a tawdry tabloid fact, though.
how's the dogging scene in munich?
most of the locals here are too old to raise a smile, never mind anything else.

Yes Trev,

Fact is what I meant, but not new. In Munich they are known as car-park-meetings ("parkplatztreff" in German in case you need to know on your next "business trip" here Trev).

cheers for the info, brian, but I never have business trips to Germany (why the inverted commas incidently?).
birmingham is about as far as I get.
mind you I've been to the munich beer festival on a number of occasions.
great fun.

"Raise the bar guys. This isn't news [...] It's just another tawdry tabloid tale, FFS"

So I take it the 18 year-old lesbian who sold her virginity to a 45 year-old BT Engineer for £10k via e-bay is out then.

And the fact that Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson had a fight with Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan at last weeks UK Press Awards.

Yeah, they're all tawdry tabloid tales, then again the Clarkson story sounds tawdry, but in a good way....

Well actually the fight between "Big Jezza" and Morgan was covered more in the broadsheets (The Times, The Sunday Times and The Guardian have all run diary pieces) than the tabloids. The Mirror was hardly likely to cover it and The Sun has declared a truce on anti-Mirror stories since Rebekah Wade took over.

So If you are of above such title-tattle look away now and return to your Telegraph Op-Ed piece, otherwise read on.

Morgan and Clarkson have had a running feud since Morgan ran pictures of Clarkson in a compromising situation with a BBC secretary -- which led to some serious domestic issues between Clarkson and his wife which have subsequently now been resolved.

They first came near to blows on the last Concorde flight when Clarkson tipped a glass of water onto Morgan's lap as the plane prepared for take off. There was a lot of shouting, flight crew threatened to call the cops, etc. etc.

Then at least weeks Press dinner at the Park lane Hilton, Clarkson approached Morgan around 2am to either offer to call off the fued or start an argument depending on who you believe. Words were exchanged, insults flew, Clarkson's wife was mentioned, the red mist descended for Jezza and he swung at Morgan.

He reportedly "got in three good blows" before the fight was broken up by the brother of former Sun editor Kelvin McKenzie and, rather improbably, diminutive Sun Motoring Correspondent Ken Gibson.

"Get off me you c*nt" said the delightful Morgan (allegedly) to Gibson who replied by saying "Watch it sonny, I'm from Newcastle and if I hit hit you'd f*cking stay down".

As The Sun party returned to their table Morgan cried out "At least I don't cheat on my wife" which caused a certain embarrassed silence as those in earshot recalled Morgan leaving his then 6 months pregnant wife for Guardian journalist Marina Hyde (who recently left him and returned to her husband). Quized the following day about his relationship with Hyde by Times diarist Andrew Pierce, Morgan reportedly said, without a hint of irnoy, that "You can't write about that it's invasion of my privacy".

Meanwhile Clarkson is sporting a badly bruised finger and by all accounts is very pleased with himself.

excellent, matthew.
you can't beat a good bit of gossip.
clarkson is a total tosser.
40+ year old blue jeans wearers are rarely anything else.
morgan is even more accomplished in the tosser stakes.

Another startling generalisation on this forum...

Kecks!

"breeks".
how quaint!
well, it's the blue jeans and black 'dress' shoes look I'm refering to, which clarkson sports on a regular basis.
all he needs are the white sports socks to complete the ensemble.

When wolfbaggers "dog" do they call it doggybagging? What about bug chasers?

An old Scottish word. Presumably from the same root as breeches.

Alex,

Bug chasing is a very, very sad "trend" in the gay community where an HIV negative man seeks an HIV positive man to infect him with the virus.

More here.

I expect some people combine dogging, bug chasing and wolf bagging all at the same time. A bit too much excitement for me though.

Not sure how they do it- I can barely combine eating and watching television. Razz
