    The Official 102nd Tour de France, thread.

    Anyone else think the choice of track at the end of the ITV highlights yesterday was genius? Methinks someone in the production team has been waiting a long time for Bardet to win a stage... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9hpeVwx1Ug

    [Misc] bathroom Fitter and Driving Instructor Recommendations

    I can highly recommend David Macadam at Brunswick Driving School. He taught me to drive last year and I passed first time (at the ripe old age of 44!). http://brunswickdrivingschool.com/index.html I'm sure he'd be happy to take on an 18-year-old. I remember him telling me that the worst thing...

    Animal rights activists force Rockinghorse to cancel childrens charity event. shameful

    And not even after they retire - it's the breeding of them that's, if anything, more of a problem. You're lucky if one puppy from a litter is any good at racing. The rest of the litter? They certainly don't end up in loving homes, being looked after for the rest of their lives.

    Your worst concert.

    The Sugar Hill Gang at The Event some years ago. An utterly cynical, passionless performance in which they simply plugged the merchandise and CDs for sale between each track.

    If Best PLAYS on Tuesday then we RIOT

    I would just like to state for the record that the thumbs down I gave the opening post was a case of fat finger syndrome. I actually agree with every word.

    Puppy training with a clicker

    Puppies need to go out into the garden every hour. Stay out there with them until they've done something, go nuts with the praise, repeat an hour later.

    Who are the most ANNOYING type of people on trains?

    One thing that annoys me irrationally actually occurs on the platform rather than the train. It's when someone hears a whistle from way over the other side of the station, but feels the need to put on a sprint for their own train, even though their own train doesn't depart for another full five...

    Trains : Both the Westcoastway and Mainline out of Brighton seriously disrupted .

    I was on the train that hit the person at Horley. We've all just got onto a Gatwick Express. The staff have been fantastic in pretty dreadful circumstances. I need a very large glass of wine.

    What's the WEIRDEST thing you've EATEN?

    Is it Me or has The Argus Found a New Low in Proof Reading?

    Whatever it is, it can't be worse than this. I'm a sub-editor (not at The Argus, I'd like to point out), and it made my blood run cold.

    Trains at a standstill at Gatwick

    I'm stuck at Hassocks. Considering calling husband for a lift back to Brighton (hello, Mr HH Iceberg!). But then, being freelance, it would mean me losing a day's pay.

    Advice appreciated - puppy or rescue dog......

    Always, always, always a rescue. And preferably a greyhound. There's no way that a good rescue would allow a dog to be rehomed with a family they weren't 100% certain the dog would be suited to. The last thing any rescue wants is for a dog to be returned, when kennel spaces are so tight. And...

    Weirdest thing that's ever happened to you?

    I made the mistake of reading this thread in the middle of last night, having been woken up by my husband saying in his sleep, "There's something on the back balcony." It wasn't a good night's sleep.

    Worst experience as a dog owner?!

    Archie caught two live rabbits in the five and a half years we had him. With the first one, he was on lead, and with the second, he barely broke into a trot. Like most greyhounds, he didn't believe in exerting himself unless absolutely necessary.

    Worst experience as a dog owner?!

    Archie (the greyhound in my profile pic, who sadly had to be put to sleep two weeks ago - still haven't come to terms with it) once found a very freshly abandoned rabbit head. Presumably some other fortunate dog had tucked into the body. He grabbed it before I had a chance to grab him, and very...

    General Photography thread

    Although I did my degree in photography, and worked in photography magazines for many years, I've never actually earned a living by taking pictures. I don't know what category that places me in. Anyway, this is one of my all-time favourite pictures. He's a local character in a fishing village...
