    15 WEEKS !? Is that it quite late ? My vet will do them from 8 weeks (our pup had his first yesterday) and I know a vet that does them from 7, as soon as theyve left the bitch. If you ask a dozen vets, would you get a dozen answers ?

    Savages ! The sooner we f*** them off the better. They think they're on the 'up' , but they've forgotten to beware the sleeping dog !

    He gets puppy mixer, brown rice, oily fish, veggies, eggs and the meat is minced chicken or duck, the odd chicken wing and I feed them all tripe once a week and meaty bones every other day.

    Well, I've taken the plunge and I am now the proud owner of a lurcher pup - a Beddy Whippet X of 8 weeks, to be exact, and he's coming on a treat,but I've got a couple of feeding questions......sorry for the beginner's dumbass stuff. I've switched him over to BARF no problems, and he loves to gnaw a bone. He's on 10% of bodyweight daily over three meals,and I'm going to reduce him to two meals over next week. So.... ....at what age should I begin to reduce the bodyweight %age ? ....my others dogs are on 2-3%.When should he be down to this kind of figure ? ....when should I reduce

    It was one of those urban foxes, mate! Brought up on the mean streets, struggling for survival. Not your soft rural fox......

    Mr. Doonican as he is probably best remembered.....entertain, engaging and charming. A good cure for a bad mood.........

    .......died earlier today, aged 88. Sometimes treated light-heartedly for his colourful sweaters and rocking chair, he was, in truth, a much loved and respected musician, who dominated Saturday night entertainment for many years His TV show pulled in 19 million viewers, and he recorded more than 50 albums........one of which knocked "Sgt. Pepper" off the number one spot !! Rest in peace, Val.

    Same her, mate. They gave so much jip for so long that I was glad to see the back of them !

    I think my dislike stems from the fact that tennis is like Tomo's night with the Williams sisters - its all over very quickly ! The players are so powerful that all you have is a serve and a couple of returns. I remember long, thrilling rallies being played by the likes of Borg, Connors and McEnroe, and that seems to have gone now (or is that just nostalgia ?) The game looks like its just down to who can hit it the hardest ! There doesn't seem to be any strategy or plan to it.........but, like I said, maybe I've misjudged it ?

    I can quite happily pass an hour or two watching most sports, but I just don't 'get' tennis ! There are huge queues of people waiting to buy tickets, but I can't seem to summon up the slightest interest. I tried to watch a bit of Wimbledon yesterday afternoon - I lasted less than 15 minutes. Dull, dull, dull ! Chuck the ball up, whack it once or twice, fist pump, repeat..... Just watching BBC this morning, and I'm already sick of the mention of Wimbledon. "Let's go live now to watch a bloke cutting the grass"....." Let's go live now, where there another bloke painting a white line"

    England Lionesses' triumphant world Cup run has come to an end. They lost 2-1 to Japan, just as the match looked to be going to extra time. In a cruel blow, the matter was settled by an England own goal, in stoppage time ! Bad luck ladies, but let's hope the men can follow in your footsteps, when their chance comes.......

    Your probably right, mate. I'm just intrigued to find out a bit about it.

    If I get a bit cheeky nowadays, she still tells me "You're not too big for a belt, you know !".......... I'm 52, she's 73 and I'm about a foot taller than her - and damned straight she still means it !

    When I was 16/17 I was a right ba5tard to my mam - lippy, argumentative, disobedient. One day, she was in the kitchen, and I was driving her to distraction..... as usual ! She suddenly turned and raised her arm, threatening to lamp me one. I flinched, turned and ran...straight into the door frame and knocked myself out ! It must only have been for a few seconds, because when I opened my eyes, she was still standing at the sink. She looked over her shoulder and said to me "And you needn't think you're laying there all day. There's washing wants putting out !"

    Another time, she was going out to work, and me (being the oldest) was told to make sure my sister ate her tea, and dad would be late home from work, so I'd have to stay in. Well, I had planned on going out to play football or whatever, so (under my breath) I muttered "F***ing hell".....like you did at that age, and life had dealt you a cruel blow......... She must have heard me, because in an instant , I feared for my life..........curled up in a ball in the corner of the kitchen and, of course, being belted in time with the words !

    I'm making my mam out to be awful, but she wasn't really. My dad was pretty useless, so she had 3 jobs at one stage - with 4 kids, 2 of them in nappies at once (no disposable nonsense either !). She worked hard and sacrificed a lot for us, but bought us up to respect our elders, never answer back and have some manners. One time, I'd be about 14 or 15, and I'd left shoes and clothes all over my bedroom, as usual. She kept telling and telling me to tidy up, but I didn't. Eventually, she lost her rag and chucked one of my Adidas Bamba trainers at me. With balletic grace, I dodged it, only for

    When mam was REALLY mad, she'd hit you in time with the words.......... "How...many....times....have...I....told...you...." etc etc I'd be thinking "Talk quicker FFS !"
