Not a big dog like a lab? My labs not really any bigger than a decent sized springer spaniel. You do get some really petite ones sometimes. Some breed lines breed a bigger heavier dog where others may be a bit on the smaller, leaner side.

Any opportunity to gather information is welcome... While I'm not one to put on the tinfoil hat, that part of the statement sounds rather orwellian to me

Came home from school to that many a time. All is missing is the 3 big heavily buttered slices of bread

The Scottish guy on the bottle is supposed to be Major General Hector Macdonald "fighting mac" his is a hell of a story if you like a bit of victorian military history

Bottom of my garden is going to be getting a boat load of sand and some topsoil...then some seeding. Its a literal swamp at the minute after the rain we have had since last October. There's just no way I can get a cut at mine yet. If it doesn't give me a couple of dry days this week I'm going out to strim it all down to give me a fighting chance once it does dry up a bit

Hes bin wheelie wheelie quiet... he's hunting wabbits!! One of the best things I ever saw was in some shooting magazine were a guy with mobility issues had converted a 2nd hand electric golf buggy into a camouflaged mobile pigeon hide for getting around the stubbles

Only found in tests done after her surgery. Almost sounds like they found pre-cancerous cells as her chemo treatment is described as preventative chemo. Maybe people will give her some privacy now that it is in the open, but with how the media vultures behave I doubt privacy will be given. Hope she makes a full recovery

I thought "sleeping bat" was another name for the cricket bat you keep by your bed to welcome burglars into your home. We don't see so many bats around my way these days, one of the country lanes I would walk used to be full of them at dusk. Lovely animals

I'm a big fan of a good fish finger sandwich. I think you can do a lot worse than the frozen battered/breaded fish cooked up with some homemade chips and peas and a goodly amount of heavily buttered bread!

Some things should be reserved for conversation among like minded friends and not belted out in public where it could be read into in any number if different ways. What happened to the old "sticks n stones" rhyme though? I really doubt she's cowering away in her room afraid to move over that guys words

Anyone want to start taking bets on how long the mods let this thread run for? I'm just noticing how far we are wondering off into the rhubarb

"Israel invaded land occupied by Palestinians" That all depends how far back in history you want to go. Jews, Christians and the Romans were occupying them lands before Islam arrives as an invading force in around 600CE(ish). So I wouldn't be too quick to talk about Jewish invasions

Unlike the Israeli hostages they aren't likely to be shot/beheaded/raped to death in a minging basement. They at least have a chance of living. One thing Netanyahu said that I thought was interesting, something along the lines of "if this hamas atrocity had happened to the USA, what does the world think their response would be?"

I was given a bottle of The Macallan 10yr old single malt for my birthday in 2008 or 2009, opened it and started to have a few. These days the same bottle unopened is worth nearly a grand according to a quick Google price search. Was bought to me by a late friend and I never brought myself to finish the bottle after he passed, the stuff has probably gone bad by now😒

100% this, a lot of thin layers are better than a couple of thick ones. Try out a runners cold weather base layer as well. Very light and never usually too expensive, also designed to quickly wick away sweat to stop the wind chill after some exertion
