Unless your dog is unwell, I wouldn’t worry personally. I’ve one ESS that drinks from the river and any other water source she can find when she’s out. She’ll then come in and drink a full bowl, albeit half of it ends up on the floor. Her sister rarely drinks when out unless she becomes...

Surely insulated housing is a good thing as it keep’s the heat out? What’s missing in the UK is understanding how to keep your house cool in hot weather. When to open and close windows, curtains etc is a dark art that my wife learned when we lived in Athens years back. It’s almost counter...

Fair comment, I did try to frame that post as nothing more than my personal experience.

This is not a criticism of closing schools due to the predicted high temperatures, it’s just an observation from the past. I took all my O levels in 76 in a gym with a glass ceiling when the outdoor temperature was over 30C and indoors was like a furnace. IIRC the only dispensation was the...

I’ve not worked in the commercial world for over 20 years, I’m not sure how to put this but is your attitude the norm these days? Genuine question.

I’m not sure I’d agree it’s unprecedented, legitimately or not. Here’s some of the highlights we enjoyed back in 1976: 16 consecutive days over 30°C (86°F) from 23 June to 8 July 15 consecutive days from 23 June to 7 July temperatures reached 32.2°C (90°F) 5 days saw temperatures exceed...

I was looking at that deal but was put off by the bit I’ve highlighted.

It’s heartwarming to read that the NHS has saved the lives of Barrow Boy, Lawros Left Foot, birthofanorange, Icy Gull, Tim Overwhelmed, Since 1982, CC2 and even me. Along with no doubt many others telling their own experiences, as this thread grows. For all it’s faults, the NHS is brilliant...

Lucky indeed, I’d loved to have been there but the greatest ever gig? Nah. Culturally maybe, but musically, it’s nowhere near my top 20. :)

I was about to agree with you and then remembered the grit in my eyes when Clarence Clemons died at the ridiculously early age of 50.

RIP to both of him.

You’re not stuck behind a cyclist, you’re just going at the speed of the traffic until it’s safe to pass. Why the rush? just enjoy the chance to look around you, take in the sights, safe in the knowledge that you’ll be able to make up the minute or so you were “held up” once you’re on a clear...

How the hell did you pass your test?

You’ve done it again. Ta.

If that really is the case then just stop giving him chews and the problem goes away.

I was really struggling to understand the point you were trying to make in that first sentence, and then I read the second and it all became clear. :)

I had a massive expectation that I would die at 40, for absolutely no logical reason, I mean my parents both lived into their 90’s. It’s very hard to explain, the feeling was utterly dominant. It made me utterly driven, I actually made a bucket list, although it wasn’t called that back then, in...

:D :D That post is gold.

Anyone else click on this link and think WTF? :D

Let me know if it proves problematic, I trust I can vouch for you if it’s necessary.
