I know someone who’s dog own attacked her three year old child; causing serious facial damage that required complex surgery. Fortunately, ten years later, the child now has minimal scarring. So what did she do about her dog?

I’m glad you asked? She spent over £1500 on classes to train the dog not to do this naughty thing again. Me? I’d have killed the f**king dog with the nearest sharp pointed instrument I could lay my hands on!

I thought it wouldn’t be long before the dog kissers arrived!

+1 joshvegas – bidding in the last few seconds gives me a real buzz!

What’s the problem? Report it. It’s a dangerous animal masquerading as a fluffy family pet. The sooner it’s put down the better!

Me and the GF have been on Giffgaff PAYG for over 12 months now, mainly for the free calls and texts between us both. Unfortunately, reception is usually s**t. Not sure if it’s the O2 coverage, my house out in the country, or Giffgaff itself. Why am I staying with them? Well, it’s cheap and I’m a tight Yorkshire git!

Uplighters show up any flaws in the wall/ceiling surface.

A 10 minute daily news programme would suit me fine, I don’t need 24 hours of analysis, thanks!

It’s all about horses – bikes are not recognised in any reclassification issue!

See my earlier post ^^^^^^^

Ignore all the scary posts on here, just talk to the university’s finance office.

Your degree is safe. Speak to your university’s finance office about the money they alleged you owe them.

Big Dug was my starting point when I came to fit out the double integral garage in my new house (yes I know, but I took a while getting here!). However, in the end eBay threw up many cheaper alternatives. You need to consider the depth of the shelves, because many of the apparently cheaper ones are very narrow.

I broke up for Xmas 2013 on December 26th last year – early retirement at taxpayers’ expense. Thank you to all contributors :-)

+1 on the sunlight in Hebden Bridge and Todmorden. I lived on the valley floor in HB for three years and the sun set at about 2:30 in the afternoon in high summer. Oh yes, and the indigenous population are all related!

Cat6, and put it all in trunking/conduit – that’s future proofing!

Sold my ’98 Kona Hei Hei last year to a guy in Thailand for silly money and in it’s place got the last version of Litespeed’s Obed frame at less than half price. Love it and wouldn’t think of going back, nor would I want to drive my 90s Fiesta XRi again either.

Having said all that, the old Konas were a bit special.

Let’s take a lead from Nelson Mandela and ………

strangle the dog with it !

In my ideal world, I would shoot the dog owner, then the dog!

Haven’t been there for years, but The Griffin used to be good. Not exactly Didsbury though!

The problem is that even in fairly dry conditions the course soon gets churned up and heavy going. Those in the last races usually face the worst underfoot conditions. If you’re lucky, on a dry day, and if he’s is an early race, she may get away with trainers.

Spikes are the default option for X-Country races- sorry!

Hard wired Ethernet connection every time. If you want stable broadband; forget Homeplugs, wireless and all the other girlie solutions!

A different world in the 60/70s!

Two large washers and a threaded bar here. Works every time for me. Just make sure it’s going in straight before you start turning!

Where are you all living? Not West Yorkshire, obviously!

Reference the earlier posts about football; any of you ever been to any northern Championship grounds where Brighton were playing away?

I’ve seen the poor at the supermarket checkout and, more to the point, their junk filled trolleys. You should think very carefully before considering any redistribution of wealth.

It must be a local initiative – I could be dead before I get mine!

Really! Well, I’ve never had one and I’m a little bit older than you.

Is it a national initiative, or just a local GP thing?

This thread is getting boring. Where are all the usual left wing suspects? Still down t’pit I guess! :-)

I believe Ricky Wilde’s 1977 Lantern Pike Fell Race record still hasn’t been beaten either.

+1 for Boris. I lived through the 70s and they were awful. If Thatcher hadn’t saved us I hate to think where we would be today :-)

In my experience interview expenses are quite normal, including overnight accommodation. Remember, they are trying to attract the best candidates, and expect to pay to meet them. This is only a fraction of the fees paid to the recruitment agencies they use!

I would run 3 separate cables. Cat6 cable costs very little more than Cat5e now, use it but follow these guidelines:

Thank you, Junkyard. I have followed this case from the start and you have come to exactly the same conclusion as me.

Would you have the same point of view had he been a Labour/Lib Dem MP?

If I climb off my bike (because my knees are f***ked) and push on the serious technical sections will I be alone?

Who?
