a dog, a woman, and a walnut tree, the harder u hit them, the better they be

 

Not the right place in this thread Matt, but where is that quote from? I'm sure it's Spaniel, not dog, and was said by someone really famous.

 

Who obviously knew f-all about all three.

I may get banned for this but if I saw you hit any I'd hit you

[Mark Bolam]

And me.

 

It's a famous quote though. I'm off to google it.

[Lorry thompson]

Apart from the tree smash it up:)

[Mark Bolam]

Googled. Various answers.

 

Lorry, Matt was taking the p.

 

I've smacked blokes for two out of three!

Did you know that the term "rule of thumb" comes from the fact that it used to be lawful for a man to beat his wife with a stick, but the stick could be no thicker than his thumb.

 

People also used to think that burrs could be caused by beating a tree with a stick, hence the idea that beating a Walnut was a good thing.

 

We used to be a barbaric people, thankfully most of us have move on.

And mentally smacked myself for butchery performed on Walnuts in the Autumn before I knew better....

That's the key word Dave.

 

I've met you once, and know that you and me would do the same thing if we saw someone kicking a dog.

 

Jon, this isn't a dig at you mate. If a six foot plus tattooed skinhead was kicking a muscle jaw type dog, ringing the cops is probably the best idea.

 

Just not my way.
