True, the cross-breeding royals are getting the worst treatment, so much so that I heard they won't be allowed to compete at the next Crufts.

Yep, mongrel, mixed-breed, mutt, designer dog whatever you want to call them. Cavoodles are selectively bred for the combination of traits from Poodles (hair not fur - this is awesome, no fur everywhere, smart and trainable) and Cavaliers (gentle, affectionate, shorter muzzle) and something they call hybrid vigour that prevents some of the genetic issues that they could otherwise get if they were purebred. That said purebred is just selective breeding of dogs with certain physical or temperament based traits anyway, just done many many years ago and often bringing about significant health issues. Anyway, dogs are awesome, especially this one.

If you've got as far as flying to Qatar you either must know that it's not right and don't care or you're living in a fantasy land.

That's a great point that I hadn't even thought about until now. We're not going to have any World Cup fanny on show, fucking corrupt money hungry FIFA committee members. It doesn't even pass the pub test* let alone the level of scrutiny that an organisation like FIFA should have enforced. It's indisputable that it's all about money. It's only the smallest consolation but at least we know that despite spunking absurd amounts of money to get and then host the World Cup it's going to improve the perception of the country (and general area) to effectively noone, and in fact it's more likely to have a negative effect. I don't even think it's an attempt at 'sportswashing' more a status based move, but I suppose needs to be considered along with the purchase of PSG as well. * Australian term, meaning a conversational level analysis (as in pub chat) of something amongst the general public.

We just got a puppy a few weeks ago. Cavoodle (which is what we call Cavapoos in Australia). So far she is excellent, playful but trains well too. We know the mother dog and she has an amazing temperament so when she was bred we snapped up one of the litter. We have been crating her and it works really well. We pop her in when we go to bed and have it adjacent to our bed so she can still see us. A little bit of whimpering at the start and once she settled she was fine. Took her out in the early hours for a toilet break, but pretty much since then have been putting her in around 10pm and not getting her out until 6AM. What I'm most worried about with her is separation anxiety. I work from home at least 4 days a week so it will be tough for her when I do go into the office.

Last year at this stage we had scored 17 and conceded 30. To go a bit Fishy that's scoring 1.1 goals per game and conceding 2.0. This season we're scoring 2.1 goals per game and conceding just 0.7. That's a per game swing of 2.3 goals in our favour, absolutely incredible.

Disappointing that we couldn't get Rich Energy and had to resort to Monster Energy. -
