    What Is Russia Playing At?

    in Non-Fishing Chat

    Paul D - How would you like it if Russia said they were going to put a "missile DEFENCE base" on the isle of Man?

     

    Kleinboet, I was referring to the original news item. Do you ever stop to think about what you're going to post, or do you just prefer to blunder in anyway?

     

    P.S. Just for the record, I wouldn't like it as that would mean the Russian's had invaded British Sovereign territory.

    Pedigree dog owners, and Kennel Club members in particular, are half wits. I used to have a cross between a labrador and a poodle. The pedigree chums would come up to me and say what a beautiful dog he was, until they found out he was a half breed and then they'd visibly gag at the thought that they'd admired a mongrel. I sometimes told them he was an otterhound so they didn't feel so bad. Funny thing is that they now call them labradoodles and, since they are now "designer dogs", the pedigree chums will happily pay £1500 for them :rolleyes:

     

    Hmmmmm....Impressive that you've got to meet the 1500 or so folk that are members of the KC.

    So rather than you confusing me with wanting some kind of witch hunt on the breed I dont, what I think is needed is compulsory training for anyone who wants to own such a dog, and perhaps to deter anyone owning such a dog that have young children.

     

    Whilst I don't agree with all you say here Rabbit, I can understand the sentiment. For instance, the Kennel Club should come into the 21st Century and regulate the indiscriminate breeding and selling of any current 'fashionable' and/or large breed much more effectively, or any breed for that matter. The problem is there is money to be made in puppy farming and many large and poorly bred dogs are sold to anybody with the cash by people who don't know the first thing about their dogs. It shouldn't be that simple.

    Are you in denial because your breed of choice is a Bull Mastiff?

     

    You're losing the plot here Rabbit. I'm guessing you're referring to my Avatar now, not Cranfields.

     

    I'd be interested to see myself these stats. and facts that you refer to that Cranfield is supposed to be ignoring.....Over to you to supply them!

     

    P.S. It's a Bullmastiff. One word!

    I don't see why they don't just muzzle all dogs in public places. Would be a fairly simple process and would at least protect people (and other animals) in public places. It would also cut out the argument around which logs are by law meant to be muzzled now.

    Rob,

     

    I was listening to a programme on BBC Radio 5 live last month about 'dangerous dogs' and what should be done about them. One of the participating guests, a lady from the Kennel Club, stated that you are statistically very much more likely to be bitten by a human than a dog. The presenter scoffed and was rude to her but soon had to back down when a stream of callers who worked in hospitals, ambulances etc backed this up.

     

    Perhaps they should just muzzle all people in public places! It would be a fairly simple process and would at least protect people..... ;)

    Rotts were bred for guarding and are by nature aggressive to strangers,

     

    The above typifies the total crap being spouted about currently as well as after the December incident. The Rottweiler was bred in Germany as a herding dog. The breed is also used in many forces worldwide as a dependable, calm and intelligent police dog.

    Coarse vs. Game

    in Coarse Fishing

    Posted

    I thought the distinction between coarse and game fish was (1) the adipose fin and (2) their breeding seasons, and hence their traditional fishing seasons?

     

    That's where the grayling is an enigma though. It has an adipose fin but breeds with the Coarse fish.

    Paul, I'm just really reading responses, now, even though my tears continue at a rapid rate. I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. At least I had the honor of holding Pockets and being the last person on Earth he felt as he slid into his long sleep. He is buried out back the house and I go visit him for a few moments each day. So many things remind me of him and I anxiously await the day where the joy of his many years with me outweigh the heavy load I feel at this time.

     

    Thanks to my loving Newt for doing his best to make this easier for me. :hug:

     

    Thanks Jan, it's appreciated.

    Sorry to hear of your loss too Jan. I say that because I've a feeling our 17 year old Cat took himself off somewhere to die last night. He'd not been too well for a few weeks now, loosing the odd claw and generally shutting down. We took him to the vets to see what might need to be done but she said it was worth trying a Steroid shot to see if he improves. He did for a while but was feeling very sorry for himself last night. I saw him go out of the Cat Flap early evening after refusing his food and haven't seen him since. :(

    I don't do heights at all....but today I had to go up Emley Moor transmitter tower (my company has some equipment up there) to learn how to bring down the lift safely in the event of a power fail should I ever be up there on my own.

     

    Never been so glad to be back on Terra Firma :P
