Thought I'd start a fred about the big Dogs you've spotted in ED...'cause I'm bored!...and I'm not a dog luva either.


Here are the ones I've spotted so far...


1) Clarence - The Grey Weimar (sp?) owned by the bald fella from the Bishop.


2) Some old boy walking around with 2 huge fluffy dogs that look like Huskys (They are not huskies though but some other breed which I don't know) - he's on to a winner with those dog's as whenever he takes them out he always get's stopped by girl's (old and young) wanting to stroke and pet them!... bet he loves it!


3) A young fella who uses the 8.35 from ED to London Bridge - with a puppy or v.young version of the same breed that the old fella has.

I don't think the young fell is using the pup to its full potential though... he should teach it some cute tricks and get it to perform them in front of the ladies....(its a very cute dog)!


The old fella just loves all the attention - I've seen him in action a few times now!

We were walking through Goose Green a couple of months ago and saw the 2 huge fluffy dogs being walked in the dog free bit, so I obviously pointed this out to the fat guy and his mate who was walking them, he replied;

"it's alright I work for the parks department"

"hmmmm, doesn't mean you can walk your dogs in the dog free bit does it?"

"I look after he place so I can do what I want"

"shouldn't you set an example to people then and not walk your dogs in there"

"blah blah blah something about them being good dogs and they've done their business already so go away"

"fact is mate it's a dog free area and your dogs are in there"

"blah blah agressive talk about why don't I sod off and mind my my own business"

So we walk off and now dislike the fat bloke who walks those big dogs. Lovely dogs though.

Baldy, that sounds strangely like a description of craig bellamy!

When I grew up a friend of mine had a munsterlander, a dog I absolutely adored (mairead hates dogs so sadly will never get to own one). Anybody got one I can arrange to pet on the green some time in a non-cottaging manner?

El M, who is craig bellamy?!

H, I know because some friends of mine had a dalmatian (also they are the only dogs that genuinely smile at humans - most people think they are snarling when they do this, but actually it's a smile).*





*I also know so much about dogs because I used to work at Dog World magazine when I was younger.

    • Direct link to joint statement : https://thehaguegroup.org/meetings-bogota-en/?link_id=2&can_id=2d0a0048aad3d4915e3e761ac87ffe47&source=email-pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogota-breakthrough&email_referrer=email_2819587&email_subject=pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogot_-breakthrough&&   No. 26 | The Bogotá Breakthrough “The era of impunity is over.” That was the message from Bogotá, Colombia, where governments from across the Global South and beyond took the most ambitious coordinated action since Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began 21 months ago. Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
