Even though we’re all well aware that this was (one of) the true motives for Brexit, you’d have thought they might have had the decency to wait a year or so before dry-fucking us. But then, you’d need to explain the concept of decency to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally disgraceful is that a significant portion of our population clearly don’t give a fuck.

Tom 14011 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 A lot of staffies are really nice tbh, problem is they’re still built like a brick shithouse so when one jumps up to sit next to you it’s like getting a shoulder barge from Shearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42203 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I don’t mind a bit of roughhousing. If we can get a pup, at least my daughter will be able to grow used to it as it turns in to Dog Hulk. This whole thing is doing my head in tbh- given the choice, I wouldn’t have a mutt, full stop. But, it seems that’s not an issue… I’m tempted to just go out and get a mental parrot or something just to feel the beautiful schadenfreude as Mrs. F. gives it “ I never agreed to getting a parrot/friutbat/fucking raccoon, whatever. “ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10821 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Loads of people with dogs round our way. Seems a 50/50 split between horrible yappy little froofroo dogs and normal ones. Bugger all staffies, alsatians, rottweilers etc. Just labs, spaniels, and the occasional Dalmation or Bernese, and then furious little balls of teeth and fur. did see a pair of Great Danes and the temptation to get one, stick a saddle on the back and let the lad go riding off across the fields is looming large.

There've been adverts on Preloved (I didn't name the site before you lot fucking start) for cockapoos and cavapoos for c£1.5k, so it makes financial sense to hold fire to see if that trend continues. They are totes gorge sweetiepies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to work with Stan whose totally ordinary, run of the mill, fishing vest wasn't bought it was issued. Whose peripheral vision wasn't like normal people and extended basically behind his ears. He could speak seven languages fluently (despite barely making sense in English). He also invented ANPR and used to be a sniper. He wasn't just a fat welsh mess, oh no sirry bob, he was some kind of ultra-cool Bond type. Must have been deep, deep cover when he was working the same job as the rest of us and drinking pints of bovril out of a Sports Direct mug.

Met loads of “ex-paras” in my former line of work, my usual response to the 99% who were bullshitting was to ask how it felt to be able to walk again. The only bloke I knew who actually was in the regiment rarely spoke about it, and only then once he’d got to know you- really chilled bloke, super nice, but I saw him get angry once, very briefly, and it was scary as fuck. I met him in 1986 just after I’d left school and was working at an outdoor centre with him. He mentioned once that he’d served in Ireland and the Falklands, which, at the time, I didn’t realise the significance of, but later realised he’d seen some very nasty stuff.

trophyshy 7076 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Do we still have any legal types on here? Our bairn's nursery - the hourly rate at which is about as expensive as a Thai prostitute - is insisting we pay for sessions which do not occur. And by that I mean when the building is closed on Bank Holidays but my son is ordinarily rostered in on a Monday. WE ARE CLOSED - YOU STILL PAY. It is a council run facility but the nursery set the policy. Do my consumer rights protect me from paying for a service which the service provider is preventing me from receiving? I really don't want to go postal down there as the next nearest nursery is a further 3 minute walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30409 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 In my limited experience nurseries very much take the 'fuck you, pay me' approach. Mumsnet is probably the place to ask. Say hello to CT for me when you're over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
