It's not the fact that he/she used that term that bothers me so much as the fact that nobody thought to point out that it is offensive. That says a lot.

Thanks Mike. I shall continue to observe in a detached and emotionless manner.

OHMYGOD! Mikecg... I agree completely. I am getting one of my heads, I shall need to go and lie down!


Halal_face sweetie,


If you want to engage in debate or lively bantor you are more than welcome on this forum. If your agenda is to insite confrontation, that is my job, go away and cause trouble elsewhere. We are not racists.

I really must protest! My pet poochies should have right of way, and should be able to run unfettered in the park.


I also feel that small children should be adequately supervised by their parents.

YOU ALL NEED TO GET A FC*KING LIFE FOR GODS SAKE.....if you tossers could read your posts about dogs, you'd see what I mean. The dogs that I love, the Westies, Parsons, Cairns and the like are wasted on you blithing driveling fools. Who fcuking well cares if an Alsatian knawed you as a young boy, be grateful and get over it. Dogs act as a result of how their owners treat them. Rocket science it aint.
When I was a kid we had a Jack Russel the thing was mad, when I let it off the lead it would seek out the biggest dog in the park and launch itself at it, usually around the throat. Dobermans and Rottweilers were his favorites, in the end I couldn't let him off the lead because I knew if he got it wrong it would have been game over. He loved people and kids though, a great pet for a boy of 11.

I'm PRETTY sure that constitutes grounds for reporting, containing as it does at least several of the following


"false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, threatening"


But don't think my dislike is reserved for dogs. As you rightly point out dogs behave depending on how their owners treat them. So my bile is also aimed at said owners. I'm especially wary of owners who think "who cares" if a dog attacks and that I should be grateful? Grateful for what exactly? That my injuries could have been worse?


On a final note, behavioral psychology is a lot harder than rocket science.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
