No shortage of moggies in my garden. A little time ago I went away for a few days. Came back switched on the lights two ladies from around the corner rang the bell within minutes and were in earnest to say a cat had become trapped behind my shed the cat had been miaowing for three days and nights it must have been somewhat wearing to put up with I went and released it and that is the end of the story I have no cat and no shortage of cats either

and the very last word.

Bring back the stocks, and a good flogging wouldn't go amiss either.

I'd like an approved one;-)

I never go out to any park without a walking stick, I am not disabled I do not need it for support when walking but for protection against the dangerous dogs and the ignorant obnoxious dangerous owners. I was crossing brockwell park some years ago, walking up the hill when over the horizon appeared a bull terrier type dog as soon as it saw me it changed its direction towards me, I changed direction, it changed direction. It was a few hundred yards away and just walked towards me and when it was close enough lunged at me, there was no owner anywhere and no one else around. That it didn't bark or growl, nor run at me, made it all feel very serious and frightening like I was being stalked, and then attacked to who knows what end. I fortunately had a walking stick with me, and was only just able to keep it from chewing on me, but it was a fast and fearsome few minutes and has left me nervous of such animals and their owners eversince. When I was a lad I had my own dog which was not allowed out without a lead, it was soft and playful and yet in it's boisterous teenage years it jumped up at a small child and knocked it down, then ran off. I apologised to the big sister minding the child, and from then on I wouldn't let it off the lead when small one's were around. The people who own dogs like the one who attacked me seem to 'get off' on having such a weapon at their disposal. I was convinced that, had a child or frail adult been caught in my position they would have become another statistic of death by misadventure. After only a few minutes of fighting this dog off I was trembling and shaken, and writing this now after 10 years, am feeling butterflies in my stomach. Why aren't all dogs muzzled and on leads when they leave their home and if they need to run as dogs do, then a long lead? Sadly there is so much money being made from dog fighting that this type of dog, which had become really out of favour over the last few decades. They are not pets they are beasts which are fed on blood and when they go into a fight it is merely a live lunch for the animal. Pets are treated with respect and protected by the family, not put up against another killing machine. When I was attacked, had I known the whereabouts of that owner, then I would not be writing on this forum, I would be doing my time for her majesty. I feel that an aggressive minority is inflicting fear and misery on the vast majority of normal law abiding citizens and they go about unchecked and unhindered and the punishments do not fit the crime. That incident has changed my way of life, when ever I go out I feel vulnerable without a walking stick to protect me, just because some disgusting lout thoughtlessly releases a vicious dog on the community. Had anyone bothered to ask my opinion whether this type of macho' half wit should be allowed to breed, then I would have joyfully speyed him myself. Sorry David_Carnell to insult your sensitivities but I lean firmly in favour of James, I was taught to consider my fellow man and my behaviour towards him, not wrecklessly do as I please and ignore any responsibilities for my actions. I feel sympathy only for this injured child and the trauma her family have been put through.

Who is this fan of Billy Cotton shouting wakey wakey(?)

far too much of this going on, some fights are about as straight as a scenic railway jjf

Two friend have recently returned from that very region with pictures or strangely primitive airplanes at Lukla airport. They had 'done' all the monroes and went off to katmandu which was a very polluted place where your teeth went black from breathing the street air. They had bought all sorts of gear antisweat tee shirts that breathe and dont hold the moisture, superlite walking boots. They were gutted to find everything they had bought was about a third of the price they paid here. Best advice if you are determined to go, take money, no clobber and buy everything there.

I heard frederick forsyth on any questions yesterday, and he said that we cannot cope with a half a million immigrants every year, we are not geared up to cope with it on a regular basis. Mr dimblebey said he had 'mentioned the unmentionable', but he did get some hefty applause.

I went to Ganapati early one evening with eldest daughter this pushy waitress asked if we had booked, the place was empty except for a couple at one table. She then said we are fully booked and need the table at 9pm it was 7pm when we entered. My daughter had the lamb which was good, I had a chicken breast which was succulent but neither dish was outstanding. We had 5 poppadoms and the bill was ?40 which I remembered most. The previous week we had eaten just as well for under ?20 at the rye hotel.

I purchased a lock from the science museum shop it had a cable the thickness of a brake cable and it had a nubered code not a key. But you could buy a cheap lock with a large enough hoop to slip your chain through and leave it locked and dangling from the saddle permanently.

Well they are alright at the poles in winter, but you can lose your shoe if you tread on one in goose green.

I thought it was that 'Johnny Friendly' betting agin ya for the long odds;-)
