On the contrary, her brief is probably preparing to have the case thrown out thanks to the adverse media attention.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostClassic. She's on the BBC digging herself into a larger hole around 1.02. Her solicitor's thinking 'STFU!' LOL.

That elicited a snort from meOriginally posted by Old Greg View PostI don't mind off the lead if it is under control.
My favourite was sledging this year, a guy was letting his dogs fight in the middle of the slope with 100 kids sledging down. I waled over and politely (really) asked him to control his dogs and he replied, 'It's a public park, mate'.
So I took his photo and posted it on a paedophile outing website.

I don't mind off the lead if it is under control.Originally posted by bobspud View PostUnfortunately dog owners are a pain in the arse. Their little bundle of fun is the bestest niciest little cuddlefluff in the whole wide world. They don't give credence to the idea that anyone might be frightened of their animal or not wish to be accosted from across a field at 40 mph.
My sister-inlaw has a big black lab that after 3 years still does not walk to heal and has its paws and snout every inappropriate place possible. Yet the sodding animal can play dead roll over and shake hands. I have had more than one argument over it running into our house past the garden and pissing on the carpet. So now its banned. My dogs have grown up with small people so know that the way you say "hi" to a child is not by sticking your paws in their chest and laying them flat on their back. Unfortunately too many owner don't get the point that the dog isn't your friend, rather you are its master and it looks to you for guidance to its limits, so you need to set them!
As a responsible dog owner I say: "So very sorry on behalf of the other 60% of the community that dont take your feelings into account when they let their four legged rocket off the hook in public"

There are always dogs off their leads, one or two of which come bounding up to my small kids (4 and 2) jumping around them ignoring their owners calls to heel or whatever. The owner invariably gives me a cheery, 'Oh don't worry,he's very friendly and he loves children.' I am long past being polite, or explaining reasonably why their dogs should be under control and am nearly done with being merely rude.

I have two large greyhounds and if I can manhandle their excessive turds into a little nappy bag then the ****** with little poodles can surely manage the same.

It's dog owners I can't stand - or at least the very many irresponsible ones. We could do with a ranked polling function so we can work out who our biggest villains are.

Maybe that would make people think?
