  1. Thank you Eggs,I realised as soon as I saw.it! Old age and the thought of Krankie and Salmon threw me.
  2. Sorry Johnsond, I thought it was Mr Johnson!
  3. Fussy bugger. You sure you were a matelow?
  4. I often wondered in he ever had a pop at Wee Jimmy Krankie Sturgeon. I'd pay good money to see that.
  5. Got bitten today by a customer's dog. He's got 11 rescue dogs, wouldn't have minded too much if it had been the Staffie, how bleeding embarrassing when a 10 year old, one eyed Chihuahua had me on the hand! Poor little sod had been horribly abused, client brought him out in his arms, I let him smell my fist, then slowly moved to stroke him. Like lightening, the little git had my knuckle. The bloke said, he's done that to me a few times, I should have brought one of the other nine Chihuahuas to meet you. Another training day with the Belgian Shepherd tomorrow, hope he doesn't get the same idea.
  6. Depends on what sort of fairy. Little pretty things with wings, yes. Great big ugly buggers with a five o'clock shadow mincing about , no. Or is it the other way round? I always get them mixed up.
  7. I'm pretty sure I'm not quite gaga yet, but one of us is a bit confused. Mick asked if you were 50, you said 40. I haven't said a word about your age. All I wanted was to buy an erection. Looks like I may have to take my custom elsewhere. Stubby, where do you buy yours?
  8. I think you should maybe buy some specs. Firstly, it was the saintly Mick Dempsey who said that about you being 50. Secondly, I am a cranky sod, but I can still read and answer correctly to a post.
  9. We're on the downward slope, Stubby. Don't worry, it won't last, he'll go back to being a full time knob soon.
  10. I know I'm going to hate myself for this, but I actually found you funny! Christ, what just happened?
  11. Tyson Furey in a Limoges supermarket two years ago. I shouted to Him "Oi Champ, where you going?" He replied "I ain't hanging about here, that hard bugger from Bolton is on his way."
  12. Well it's happened. Last night had a text from my pal who owns the dogs, he was at the local A&E . The Belgian bitch attacked a friend of ours and had him by the face. He was in the house with the owner, where she now lives, as opposed to living outside with the two dogs, when she attacked. This bloke goes in to feed and water the dogs when my mates on call out, I do it if I'm not busy, the males adore him, He's one of the least threatening people you could meet. Poor sod was in shock last night, he's 72 so not a young chap. On another matter, I took the Belgian male out for his first training session on Friday afternoon. Has basic obedience, sit, down etc but pulls like a train on the lead. After half an hour he was walking to heel, not perfectly but not bad at all, gave him lots of praise and hand contact. It's trying to work him but realising he's not my dog so I can't get too attached which will be difficult.
  13. Stubby, NO! For the love of Christ, NO!
  14. Please stop Stubby, you'll annoy him and he'll come after me.
  15. Oh Christ, I didn't realise who I've been messing with! I'm so sorry, please don't hurt me. I won't sleep tonight.
  16. Brilliant response Khriss, the Diplomatic Corps must miss you!
  17. Stubby, I am still stupid, can't help it! I must be to keep rising to the Cretin's comments.
  18. I must be a coward as I left UK in 2002. Stop talking crap for the sake of It, you're the only one on her who winds me up to the point of violence. I wonder just how hard you are?
  19. That's my point. No nastiness, snide comments or vindictiveness. I for one was sorry when he left.
  20. My mate is James of Depannage365, always on FB work wise. He has a scrap yard for all the knackered cars he recovers. The Belgian and the German have been joined by a 4 year old Belgian bitch he got from the Malinois refuse down near Angouleme. They contacted him to see if he could take her. Poor sod's been knocked about and is very fragile, trusts no one and consequently cannot herself be trusted. Time will tell how she turns out. There really are some horrible bastards out there.
  21. Yes, they are Mick. Bit too clingy for me, they have to be in contact with you all the time. I nearly had a cross German/ Belgian from my mate but he warned me that it could be dodgy for my wife as the dog was so jealous that she wouldn't let the missus get between me and her. The big German he has is wonderful with kids, other dogs, he's disciplined to Hell. Grabbed a gypsy bloke by the arm when he tried to get into his business yard, now they stay in their vans and shout out before they get out of the wagons. Waiting to see what the Belgian can do to the Travelling Community next time they call.
  22. This is the Malinois that my mate wants me to train up. I've found a big difference in the temperament of the German Shepherds I'm used to and the Belgian Shepherd which I'm just coming to know. The Belgian are very single minded, they seem to be excellent at one job and that's it. Whereas the Germans are good all rounders. We've tried him on a baiting sleeve, he's sh1t hot, he was semi trained by his French breeder, now he needs a bit of discipline. Tried him on gunshots, not a problem, didn't even blink when a 16 bore was discharged.
