speedy87 42 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 biggest regret i ever had was selling up and heading off to the army. out now medically and before buying fridge or a cooker it was dog shopping. if you really want to get rid, make sure they go to a mate who if you have the urge will let you borrow back for the day etc... atb scott 1 Quote Link to post
Ray Mears 272 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 i sold up and joined the army and what a mistake it was. i did 3 years without a dog then ended up based in germany were me and a mate ended up getting a few dogs and doing abit over there. thats when i thought f**k the army i cant live like this anymore and i come out 3 months later. but i hadnt got a family to support or anyone depending on me. its alright everyone sitting here here saying dont do it, it only takes once to get caught to be out of a job, out of money, in debt, and the list goes on mate but once your in its hard to get out no matter what the punishment is belive me. 3 Quote Link to post
brambles 3,062 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 If you feel It's time to through in the towel then fair play to you mate but it certainly wouldn't be me, then again the less people in the game especially the ones that draw unwanted attention by bumping their gums about their exploits suits me fine Quote Link to post
