I saw this happen at Starks. I didn't buy a pie.

Who microwaves a pie?????

30 minutes in the oven, piping hot inside and crunch pastry on the outside.

Me, its quicker and they taste better. 30 minutes in the oven and it would be liking eating a brick.

Other dugs. Or, more specifically, other dug owners.

Last year we adopted a wee rescue dog. She's half-collie, half-labrador. She is a lovely wee thing. When we re-homed her we were told she had had a horrific life and had been rescued from a life of being a 'warm-up' for fighting dogs. She was going to be put to sleep, but she came to us instead.

She is incredibly nervous around other dogs. In the house she's absolutely lovely. But when she's out and sees another dog, she barks, snarls and lunges. Because of this she is never off a lead and is kept under firm control by me.

I am losing patience with the amount of utter c***s around where I live who just let their off-lead dogs wander up to mine and don't make any effort to get theirs back. I've had to resort to shouting to them to get their fucking dog back. Usually it's some daft old person with no strength whatsoever trying to persuade an excited German Shepherd to go back to them, to no avail.

"They're just being friendly!" they shout. Aye, but mine isn't. And if mine gets its jaws on you, it'll be mine that has to suffer.

Dicks.

If your dog doesn't have immediate recall, it shouldn't be off a lead at all.

Our guests phoned last night to ask if we had a microwave before saying they were just round the corner and would be with us in 5 minutes. Me and the mrs were sat in the lounge at the time and upon arrival rather than just come in through the front door, or knock once then come in, they knocked on the door and then waited for someone to come to answer and when neither of us got up to go to the door they knocked again much harder to the point it sounded like the door was getting caved in by a bartering ram. The night didn’t get any better after then either.

In my capacity as a parcel delivery guy , I am nominating you , Throbber , for a transfer to the Calling Cards of Morons thread .....the Calling Card being not getting off your fat arse to answer the door.  The other night in pishing rain I knocked on a door or rang the bell to deliver a parcel. I could see there seemed to be folk in the house. After waiting a reasonable period for a response , I knocked quite forcefully. This time some p***k came to the door and mumbled an insincere apology and something about thinking it had been some friends they’d been expecting.

Did something yesterday that I used to do frequently , but haven’t done for ages, and  it it reminded me just how annoying it was .........calling a fax number by mistake instead of the phone number. Annoying on two counts , namely the time wasted and also the piercing , shrill noise that sounds like a demented budgie.

As a dog walker, so much this.

"My dog's friendly" they merrily shout.  So are the 3 or 4 dogs that I'm tied onto, however it's a fuckload of hassle for me if they all tie themselves (and me) in a big knot in their excitement of your friendly mutt bounding over to say hello and see who wants to play.

I remember a shitstorm a couple of years ago when a farmer shot a dog that was chasing his sheep. The owners kept banging on about how it was being friendly and wouldn't have harmed the sheep.

Response from the rest of the community: "Aye, but the fucking sheep don't know that!" To make matters worse, it was at lambing time.
