I've had quite a few pauses for thought these last 30 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B/ Neither myself nor my wife are fit enough to take a dog for exercise, and even a "mature" dog could live for another 5-7 years, which is probably more than we will, so definitely no more dogs. My dog’s adoption application is in the post to you. And owner who promises to never make him leave the sofa and will keep him supplied with tea and toast all day is his dream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Wing Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 My dog’s adoption application is in the post to you. And owner who promises to never make him leave the sofa and will keep him supplied with tea and toast all day is his dream. Mrs Wing would take him off you in a heartbeat. Every few days she asks if there's any new pictures of Renton posted. She actually made me trawl through the older posts on the "show us your dogs" thread so she could see puppy Renton and his escapades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 15 hours ago, Snafu said: Five years ago a plumber in Houston wanted to upgrade to a better truck so he traded in the old one in for a new one. He was told that peeling the decals of his old truck himself would damage the paint work and the company AutoNation Ford Gulf Freeway would do it before they sold it on. A year later a picture of the truck appeared in a tweet by a contributor to Long War Journal. The truck was in the hands of Isis in Syria. Shit hit the fan, lawsuits against the company, harassment against him and his family, death threat phone calls and now the plumber from Texas had to shut down his business, leave town and has to carry a firearm for protection. He is also frequently visited by Homeland Security and the FBI. I was just thinking about that story the other day for some reason. Imagine being that dense that you phone the guy up to give him abuse as if he had personally sold it to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi after he turned up at his door after seeing his ad on Gumtree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing is that he's a good plumber. So what if he's a member of a death cult in his spare time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Just booked my first solo holiday abroad. Nothing major and talked myself back to 3 nights rather than 5. I think with the latter I'd just end up getting splattered and ruining the whole thing. 3 nights gives me just enough time to see what I want to, with enough time to explore. Months away but I'm pretty excited already. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
