"........results will be disseminated to the wider public." So, expect to see that "a recent survey suggests that X% of the public would support a ban on hunting and culling." Bit of a shame, really, as the university's Chancellor is the Princess Royal !
-
I see ! I meant no offence, mate, but I had no idea it was like that - not over a game, anyway. Thanks for explaining.
-
"Persuasion" ? I don't understand.
-
England win by 31 runs - oh, ye of little faith ! Win or lose, it's still the greatest game ever invented !
-
Be sincere in your compliments and don't embarrass anyone ! Oh, and you'll probably be filmed, so don't f*** up ! No pressure !
-
Anyone else watch it ? Absolutely breathtaking and quite emotional, at times. If that didn't make you proud, there's something wrong with you ! What a spectacle !
-
So they've just changed the name of everything really !

What's happened ? By which, of course, I mean what way have they found to f*** us over ?

I've got 6 already - all well cared for in every way ! It's not the dog that's pi55ing me off - it's more the attitude of the owners, and trying to get them to live up the their commitment. I've tried the good cop route, as well as the bad cop, but nothings made a difference so, as Walshie said, I was looking for new ideas............ And anyone who thinks I'm whingeing really doesn't know me very well.

Mac, we've already got a houseful of dogs of our own, so there's only so much I can do, unfortunately. Also, he a Staffy X and the local rescues are already full of the poor sods !

I find that too much liver has...... unpleasant consequences, shall we say. All mine (including the good lady's 3kg Chihuahua !) are fed chicken and tripe, supplemented with meaty bones 2 or 3 times a week or so, but I'll add in lamb ribs, a couple of sardines or a couple of raw eggs each once a week, as well as anything going cheap in the supermarket. A little handful of plain mixer finishes it from nicely. I've never thrown a scrap of it away, and they turn their noses at any sort of commercial dog food ! Edited to add - we chuck in a bit of veg matter. Grated broccoli stalks

No side gate, mate. It would be away in no time...........
-
Far from it MM ! I studiously mind my own business, but we live on a small cul-de-sac and a few of the old girls sit by their windows all day long, watching the comings and goings............can't do f***all without someone seeing you ! The old dear on the other side of us is a major pest - nosey beyond belief - loves a good gossip, knows everyone's business..........pain in the ar5e, in short

You wouldn't say that if you saw her ! You definitely wouldn't want to wake up next to her.............

I think that's what I'm trying to get really, Born. Like I said, I don't want to get anyone into bother, but how do I stop them shifting their responsibilities onto some one else (ie............me) ?

One of our neighbour are a young couple, who have a Staffy X. Nice, friendly dog but..........they go out (separately) every day and leave the dog alone. He's in a suitably sized cage, has food and water, but they're gone for anything from 6 to 12 hours or more. It started as an hour or two (which I don't have an issue with), but now it's pretty much all day, everyday. They've stopped walking him and, when they're home, he's outside for a pee and straight back in - no more than a few minutes. I've spoken to them, several times, suggesting that I've heard other neighbours talking about thi

How about a rule,as in both codes of rugby, whereby only the captain is allowed to speak to the referee ? Anything else is a bookable offence ? (I was once sent off, while playing for City of London, for that !) Or a rule (if it doesn't already exist) whereby it would be a bookable offence to attempt to gain an advantage by feigning foul play or injury ? Some of the dives are beyond embarrassing - the replay shows daylight between the two players, yet there's some overpaid prima donna rolling round like there's a sniper in row F ! For crying out loud, an England penalty was awarded a

I agree with Newkid - solid performance, in the face of extreme provocation. Solid enough to win, and that's what it comes down to ! I'd like to see the refs clamp down on the abuse and dissent they're taking and the Neymar-style histrionics have got to be stopped. I'm no afficianado, but it does the game no favours. VAR has just added to the drama, for me - best World Cup I can remember ! Come on, England - let's make the Swedes look like a bunch of turnips ! (Badum - tish !)

Apparently , the "bag of water as fly repellent" actually works, and there is some science behind it. Basically, light refracts through the water and, because of the fly's compound eyes, it's like a thousand disco glitter balls dazzling it, all at once. Who'd have thought it ? (Not sure why the coins are necessary, though.)

They may have culture, my friend, but so has the pot of yogurt in my fridge !
-
That's because there is no need for such a word ! "American" and "culture" aremtwo words that don't sit comfortably together.

A chunk of pineapple heals mouth ulcers better than any medicine you can buy ! (And women with big ar5es live longer than men who point it out !)

Apparently, conkers keep spiders away........... (And you can stop bread from drying out by storing it in a bucket of water.)

Looking forward to his return, and I hope he's well. His contributions are much missed.

Rumour has it that Belgium will rest a good few players, so I hope Southgate fields his strongest team, and they play to win ! He's already built a team spirit we haven't seen for many years, left the ego-trip superstars behind, and could well have a team greater than the sum of its parts. At the risk of sounding like Motty, I want to see Trippier banging in those pinpoint set pieces and I fancy Kane to score a couple more - England 2-0 for me. At least we won't lose to the Germans on penalties ! (What's the German for "schadenfreude" ?)
