The British Bulldog is the perfect dog analogy for Britain. Once fierce and strong, able to take on animals far larger and more powerful than it, now reduced to a fat stumpy inbred mess that can barely breathe or walk. But still acts like it can.

Lord Ludikrous posted:Given your reaction and usage of “oval office” against anyone suggesting putting dogs on a lead, yeah that was pretty much what I expected you to do. God we really have been arguing past each other cos in general I’d agree, dogs on leashes in busy streets and such. I was using the big C because of how people approached it - JC particularly has a rep for this sort of thing and you didn’t help by coming in accusing people of just being selfish awful people who don’t care about anyone else. Anyway, thanks, and I hope you have a nice day as well. Sadly in Manchester the weather has roundly failed to last and is back to chucking it down

Jakabite posted:I would love to see you try and exercise a healthy, active, young dog without taking it off the lead. Likewise id like to see you try and keep a dog who needs that happy while depriving it of that. You can’t. It’s impossible. lol let's not get carried away, it's hardly impossible. I have a huskie who is exercised almost exclusively on a lead because that is the law here for half the year. Most of the other dog owners I see seem to manage too.

Tesseraction posted:mongrels are better off genetically I'd say the opposite frankly: mongrels are prone to health issues from inadvisable breed mixes all the time and are notorious for behaviour issues. Breeding lines exist for a reason. For example, many guarding/shepherding breeds have been carefully selected for things like trainability and territorialism while minimizing other traits like aloofness or prey drive to make sure the dog is traininable and managable for it's original purpose. If you haphazardly cross that breed with another breed with a totally different genetic history and low trainability or high hunting drive; you taken two breeds that in themselves are managable and combined them into a one nightmare dog. Likewise if you take a breed that has issues with idk elbow displasia and cross it with a breed that has heavier build or shorter legs, you've made the problem worse.

Failed Imagineer posted:Dog on a lead is way more likely to trip someone up or get in the way of a passing bike, so I don't bother. I'll roll the dice on my 4.8kg lil terrier mutt sniffling somebody's foot too hard. Or accidentally making eye contact with a goon, killing them instantly Lol yeah, I used to love clicking out the big long dog reel lead thingy (it felt a lot like a gun, having my dog operated by trigger so that was even better) then watching her run round a big group of walkers before perfectly recalling her back to me and watching the whole group of them taken out like the big robot dog things in Star wars. Nice little rope burn if they were in shorts or skirts too.

Honestly I wasn’t aware of the rep of the other poster using the big C and just took it as you attacking someone who in my mind had made a pretty reasonable suggestion, and having had some run ins in the past came in guns blazing. I’m not a dog person but I don’t dislike them; I just get nervous around poorly behaved ones. Ones that are nice or known to me I get on fine with and some I have a great relationship with. One (I couldn’t tell you what she is only that she’s tiny, brown and fluffy) I’ve known since a puppy and we absolutely adore eachother. She’s not going to be around much longer sadly. Thank you - I am hoping the horrendous downpour earlier today in Wiltshire does not return so I can go pick up the new Tyranid book, but we will see.

Wearing both of those together and that specific collar. Collars should be black and spikey or lace.

Mega Comrade posted:Its a very lazy appeal to the public but I genuinely think they should just be banned, even if people bin them they end up in a landfill. Clyde Radcliffe posted:They'll likely gently caress up the definition of 'disposable' and the companies involved will find a workaround. Like keep the form factor roughly similar but allow liquid refills, making it technically reusable, but still to be thrown away when the battery/coil dies. And then often magically the companies say "hey we've discovered this amazing new thing called a screw cap and you can change the battery and coil out now" and things get slightly less lovely. Whereas like you say if they just go with a Tory-style poorly written ban then you just get lazy dodges. I'll be interested if they go for a comprehensive "minimum of x% user replaceable components, all vape shops and convenience stores offering full vape systems must have battery recycling bins, selling to under 18s comes with big penalties" ewaste strategy or just a "we don't like the pink ones" dodge, but if they're doing lazy public opinioneering then I can guess.

My son is over the moon, King poo poo of gently caress Mountain because mum finally bought him a small bottle of PRIME. Like this is the status symbol that apparently all 8 year olds aspire to. His friends are apparently counting down the days till they turn 18 and can Legally Buy the energy drink version. It's £3 for some cherry cordial.

I'd describe them as "posh wotsits". Both these and the cheese ones have something about them that make them superior somehow. Definitely worth a try.
