Isn't that what umbrellas are for? 

I've never seen a polis with an umbrella. You might be onto something though, an umbrella could double as a weapon.

When the police say they can't afford to investigate low level crimes so the public can just go f**k themselves, but then they go and buy themselves jetskis so they can chase people using canoes inconsiderately.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-dorset-66682005

Don’t mean to sound harsh, but captive market? 
Airport? Ferry? Motorway Services? Bring your own sustenance to these situations. Then smugly indulge yourself while watching everyone complain about the prices. 

The pictures is another one. Fortunately - at least in America - there's a way round it.

I qualify for using PDSA for the mutts, however I pay a monthly thing that covers boosters, worming and couple health checks a year plus insurance. I decided that I'd only use them if I absolutely have to. Shadow needed spayed, anything upward of £350 so I paid the £120 to PDSA 

What rips my knitting is bams walking in designer gear, some mashed faced designer dug they've paid £000's for and then using a charity.

I'd rather the dog was cared for obviously but you just know they're making no contribution.

 

I know a guy who obviously earns really good money - big house, souped up Audi etc and cuts about like the big I am. His two designer dugs are registered in his in-laws name who must qualify, and the auld boy takes them to PDSA for all their treatment. Detestable cnut.

FFS, it's the King nowadays. Have you no respect?

 

Wonder how he feels about all his cash still bearing her skull and name, he can send it all to me if he wants rid, and any stamps going.

I'm more than happy to pay for what I can afford and have them insured too but the cost of spaying her at the regular vet was horrendous. For spaying it was significantly less but boosters aren't that much different. 

You're asked to make a contribution for any other treatment, they probably don't! 

As I said I wouldn't see an animal suffer but when the owners got Dolce on one trainer and Gabanna on other I question priorities.

That's nice that they have their kid's names on their trainers.

Slightly better than the Fifer 'Dolce De Leche', tbh.

"Markov was assassinated on a London street via a micro-engineered pellet that might have contained ricin.[2] Contemporary newspaper accounts reported that he had been stabbed in the leg with an umbrella delivering a poisoned pellet, wielded by someone associated with the Bulgarian Secret Service.[3] Annabel Markov recalled her husband's view about the umbrella, telling the BBC's Panorama programme, in April 1979, "He felt a jab in his thigh. He looked around and there was a man behind him who'd apologized and dropped an umbrella. I got the impression as he told the story that the jab hadn't been inflicted by the umbrella but that the man had dropped the umbrella as cover to hide his face."[4] It was reported after the fall of the Soviet Union that the Soviet KGB had assisted the Bulgarian Secret Service.[5]["

This happened when I was 6. I was suspicious of blokes with brollies for years afterwards.

My ex was a vet nurse and worked at a PDSA for a bit and there was a guy with a French Bulldog (might’ve got that wrong) that was pregnant and he took the dog in for some routine stuff/medication. He was bragging that he was going to “punt” the puppies for close to a grand each making over 5 grand in total for the full litter.
 

Didn’t contribute anything towards the time/work provided for his pregnant dog though and had no intention of doing so when his “earnings” came in.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great there’s such a thing as the PDSA but like almost everything there’s a way to game the system.

I was at an Alloa v Falkirk game in the early 90s,and the chant to the ball boys was "Would you like to see some puppies? Like to see some puppies? Na na na na... Na na na na" 

Won't get that nowadays. Flaming woke Guardian reading Corbynistas.

Ah, the halcyon days of offensive football crowd chants. I can remember one occasion in the 1970s at Ibrox when cheerleaders were marching round the running track for some reason, to be met with the Neanderthals in the covered terracing belting out "singin' goan get it up yie while yer young" to the tune of "She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes..." And no, I wasn't singing it!

I'd be astonished if a number of these dudes aren't on a list of some sort.

I have toothache. Getting my filling done in a fortnight, but just not enjoying this.

Were offensive songs not compulsory at Ibrox back then?

Meadowbank Thistle Brake Club had a few near the knuckle ones

Used to get all the "Edinburgh AIDS" insults so the songs in reply were "Share your needle with the boys" "Spit in your bovril"  and "Come on over to my place, Hey you we've got a virus, We've got AIDS and Hepatitis, why don't you come on over tonight"
