I just put Rossems Troost in the translator, it came back as Big Maud.

RR. Our little dog (1950 - 1961) was a bit the same. He didn’t actually get kicked out in th morning but he frequently escaped and went on his own adventures. He wasn’t neutered (most dogs weren’t in those days) so I suspect it was often because he wanted to go courting! Sometimes when I took him out on his lead to the park but then let him off, he’d stay around for a bit then go home by himself! He followed me to infant school at least once that I remember (encouraged by little me I expect!) and that was almost a mile away. He ate our scraps and occasionally unmentionable stuff

Phil, are you saying that you have had a bucket of cold water thrown over you in the street whilst "courting". lol

Ben in 4 words. Been there; done that. (even in Holland).

Unfortunately not all dog owners where I walk Kai. It’s bad enough skirting around all the horse poo, which judging by the amount horses do it all the while As it was raining all day yesterday and where we normally go would have been a bit clarty we had a walk to the vets so I could weigh Kai. He has lost a bit of weight again, he wasn’t eating properly the same as when we lost Wolf. I have altered his diet a bit and he is starting to eat a bit better now, he has put about 2kg on. Then we went to the pet shop. He enjoys that. He had a look at the toys, nothing interesting thankfully his

Phil's post made me wonder. Didn't like to comment. Young Trogg and Beekay obviously had the same thought!

I can't remember the last time I saw a dog trotting around on its own without a human. Generally, these days they're on those long leads...the dogs, not the humans, although that wouldn't be a bad idea! As a child, the Amos family who lived on Alfreton Road just round the corner from us, had a dog named Nell. She was a black and white collie. Very friendly. She wandered about all day and I don't remember ever seeing her on a lead. I recall seeing her rounding the corner at the bottom of our road and trotting very purposefully as though she had a list of calls to make.

1. Jim, you really must try to stop typifying Pinkfish as either hysterical or far left. It is neither. It's certainly left oriented, because that ref lects its membership..but right wingers who can make an argument get respect. 2. The list I quoted was not selected by Pinkfish., or by me. It was posted by one member and I copied it in here, in order to illustrate the point that the Tories are in love with 'Outsourcing.. AKA 'privatisation' It is their first instinct in every public spending scenario and they have been proven innumerable times to have spent huge amounts

Go easy on us. Some of us males like the scruffy look ya know.

You can also make it a full screen Carni, by clicking on the icon in bottom right corner of Stu's image above. We're always here to help, fair maid.

There you go Carni, StuartC has come to your rescue and beat me to it. Cheers Stu.

If it's Jigsaw planet you mean; Then select a puzzle. Along the top of the picture where it shows the Creator there is a PLAY AS , click and a drop down preselect size list comes up, or go to the bottom CUSTOM and you can set your own number of pieces.

Jill will fill in the details below.

Go anywhere for a Dutch treat!

Told you it was one of his old flames!

I'm still using the Barnsley museum link that CT posted. Some great pictures on there.

One of his old flames?

Let's see if Ben knows what Rossem's Troost is.

The posters are foreign, Dutch?

Quarter of strawberry Bonbons please.

Guilty, if I spot a dog & walker stop outside my house, I'm out with a bowl of soapy water to swill it down, sometimes before the mutts even finished his business

I love all animals....but i'll never have another Dog...i just couldnt go out picking its mess up, sorry.....at least Cats go next door mostly,,,have to laugh ive had neighbours asking me to ''Have a word'' which ive done,,,but they take no notice,,lol

When I was young on Clifton, dogs were often left to wander around on their own. Some were ok, but some definitely weren't. The main thing I remember was that they had a habit of leaving their mark on the pavements and grass areas - with their owners not knowing or caring. Dog dirt was regarded almost as something you had to put up with, like rain or fog. It was easy to walk around and get back home to find you'd got something unpleasant stuck to the sole of your shoe. A big advance in recent times has been dog owners acknowledging that it's their job to clear up the me

Growing up in the 50s on Bestwood estate most people had a dog,,,it was let out in the morning met its mates and off they went for the day.....they roamed the streets in Pacts,,but seemed quite happy,,never saw a lead...They were like the humans of the day really,,,went for a walk with friends,,found somewhere nice to eat....did a bit of ''Courting''' then home afore 10 oclock osses came''... Remember my first Dog ''Rex'' 1 was about 4 and he followed me everywhere.....sadly the first traumatic thing i saw,,i was on my 3 wheeled bike and 'Rex' decided to chase a 28 b

One day when he was out and about , my friends and I found him on the street stuck back to back with a little white bitch. I was very young and didn’t understand it at all, so I ran home and told my dad. He went round and whacked Scamp on his rear end with something or other which separated them. I wasn’t told what they’ d been doing - and just thought they’d got stuck together!

I like that word courting, quite often 2 dogs in the street had to have cold water thrown over them while they were "courting"

I never knew about this grooming malarky, (apart from those Asian gangs) sounds like animal cruelty, all the dogs we had where kicked out onto the street with us when we left for school & ran round in packs & came back when it was dark to eat any of our left over scraps. I know which dog I’d rather be.

It depends how cooperative he is Margie. Usually about an hour, if he is being really awkward (he is after all male) could be longer. He does let me know when he has had enough though so sometimes it might just be 30 minutes or so. He can be a bit frustrating at times (but then a lot of males are) when he has his stubborn head on but he makes up for that in other ways.

Typical Pinkfish hysteria and carefully selected in order to present the worst case scenario. There is no mention of: Uniserve who were highly successful. Draeger, a German multi-national, again successful. Dnanudge, a British company who introduced the 90 minute test. Hologic a USA medical company specialising in women’s health and supporting the testing program. Brake Bros and BFS group - delivering food boxes. None of these are mentioned because they worked but don't align with the Pinkfools anti-Tory dogma. Randox - No one has sa
