Perfect, thank you Tlady! I will pass this on.

Is there a Ladies Darts Team? If so, who is the contact? Not for me! (I would be dangerous with arrows!) But for a friend!

Me too!

When the wild flowers are out in the fields or in the hill, there is a lovely smell then! Peat warming in the hill. My kids - on the top of their heads. Each one smells different but I could identify them both in a blindfold smell test! Horses! Just behind their ears or in their manes. Frying onions. Melting chocolate - I want to be buried outside the Cailler-Nestlé Factory in Switzerland please.

The programmes were highly flawed so I would say that they are fair game for criticism. Quite appart from the nauseatingly sacharine approach adopted, even the biological facts were at times woefully incorrect. As already noted the "using child as bonxie stick" incident was absolutely gobsmackingly insane. For me it was the lack of life jackets on that child on the boat that did it for me in the first episode and the fact we all live in shacks with an outside loo.

Thank you!

OH has retuned and we are all back to normal! Thanks

It isn't working. Is it just me? Everything else is fine. Just the Digital channels doing the BBC on Freeview.

I am on the Westside and there is a pile of the stinging variety just on my track. Help yourself.

It is a great idea and I hope you get a good response. If something is set up in Shetland, I would happily give my time for free doing any photography.

My egg shop has re-opened. So, if you are passing Mid Walls (just before the Watsness junction) look out for my sign at the end of the track advertising FREE RANGE EGGS. From happy chickens too. Eggzactly, Eggcellent, Eggciting! Did I over-egg it?

If I catch any, can I contact you? I usually dispose of them but there have been times when I wished I could re-home. I caught a very tame jill last year and would've loved to have found her a happy home. (Tbh, I did let her go once but she returned to my henhouse so that was that).

Ah, but I am not complacent. I do not set up my dogs to fail ever. They are in situations where they are constantly looked after, where manners are expected and they are not allowed to have their comfort zone compromised. So, therefore I am always in control and they are comfortably happy in their secure environment, ie in their home or out and about with me.

We all know our dogs and hopefully take responsibility for them. I am not going to get into an argument - in general terms you are, of course right. I go by the same measure that all folk are boobalubes until proven otherwise along with all cars indicating to the left at a t-junction must actually be shown to be turning left before I pull out. Dogs are getting a very bad press these days. It is sad because they have been our friends for thousands of years. They are now just seen as messy and bad-tempered rather than a working part of the family household who contributes in so many ways. Mine? I have two I wouldn't trust with children unsupervised and one that would rather gnaw his own leg off than bite anyone. The old cat once sniffed him while he was asleep, so he growled, realised what he had done and went into a decline for a week! Edited to add that this is a dog that can have multiple stitches in his face or body without a general anaesthetic. He is an old lurcher made of wet tissue paper that tears just getting out of bed. (this is still not an argument, though )

There are dogs that would never bite. I have one and I know of 2 others. They wouldn't, couldn't bite. Just not in their nature. Kill rabbits, yes, bite a human, never.

Been there, done that and the others - MPS, FPS, TPS - they still get through. I have just signed up to Opt Out too with Royal Mail. http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content1?catId=400126&mediaId=500081

Absolutely. I am with Jane from DENVER. Obviously the OP is a troll!

I quite fancy one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/TrueCall-The-Nuisance-Call-Blocker/dp/B002GP7HQM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1271170262&sr=8-1

Absolute rubbish. Some dogs have good manners.

Is it me or does it feel more dusty? I think so.

Yes, but not all of them are affected. It is a no-brainer tbh as if a horse leaves Iceland, it is never allowed to return. I have 4 and they are the nicest equines to work with. A real treat.
