Although some may think that Ratty has started a rather juvenile, if not base, thread on the subject of the phenomenal re occurance of the extinct we must examine this with the utmost professionalism and sensitivity.


For those of us who were lucky enough to be around during the hay day of the white dog turd during the 70's and 80's it certainly was a mixed bag of emotions on discovery of this unearthly digested matter.


Now over the years I've made it a personal mission to get to the bottom (applaud the pun) of this mystery and I'm happy to say my research has uncovered sound evidence. During the decades that style abandoned it wasn't uncommon for butchers and householders alike to toss mans best friend a bone. Bones contain Calcium which for a dog isn't easy to digest, ask Woof he'll tell you. This resulted in the turd to retain a white texture. Now we've got the science out of the way lets address the reason it was so hard.


Before the Labour government was elected into power it was perfectly acceptable to abandon any 'gift' your dog had left on the public highway. Once deposited the turd was then left to bake in the sun (remember, white turds were only found during the hottest months). The only way for scientists to determine how old the piece of turd was was to cut it open and count the rings, exactly like a tree.


Although white dog turds were in effect harmless it never stopped people acting as though they'd disturbed/set off an anti personnel mine once they'd gone over one with a lawnmower as it would result in tiny pieces of dust and white shrapnel flying all over the shop.

Its the kind of richard the third that is perfect and takes only minimal wiping; one up, one down and one to polish.

Another sighting yesterday on CP Rd, on the way to Goose Green with the kids. This revived a recent conversation with my five year old about what things were like in the 'olden days' (ie. the 60's) when Daddy was little...


When I was little all dog poo was white ("Really?")

Yes there were computers then, but they were so big that one would fill a whole room ("Is that true?")

There were only three TV channels and we didn't have Cbeebies ("Is that really true Daddy?")

But we did have Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlett on TV ("no Daddy, they're on TV now so you couldn't have had them")

I never flew in an aeroplane until I was 14 years old ("Daddy,that's just silly, how did you go on holiday?")

And we never had broccoli when I was little. I think it was only invented a few years ago ("I'm going to ask Mummy")

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
