You'd think with my cold hands I'd be good at pastry.

Actually, there's something, well, it's not a thing, you couldn't wrap it or anyfink...and it's for next christmas...
but next christmas, if I must feed the hoardes, I want to do it from a nice big kitchen in a rented gite somewhere in France. Somewhere open plan, so I can be with everyone rather than shut off- with a roaring log fire. Far from the TV with it's massive commercial push. Far from the sales. Far from the people who think that because the shops will be shut for a few hours, they have to buy like armageddon has just been confirmed...
just people who know how to have fun, good food, good wine, and wide open spaces.
OOOOOOOOOO I can make ya jealous
My ex and I lived in a chateau in France for five years as caretakers to oversee the restoration work ..... The owner didn`t want to go near the place until it was finished so each Christmas that we were there we invited everybody we knew to come for Christmas !!
There were camp beds all around the HUGE open fires and we set up the main hall with as many tables as we needed .......It became known as the paupers Christmas ....we were all skint but were celebrating like Kings ...
That sounds very cool.
We could scrounge the use of a large ex farmhouse & all it's barns & buildings easily- but there's not enough floor around the holes upstairs to find space for everyone :lol2:
I can see the sticking point- and am just as unsure. However, with the dogs, the name has been officially changed back to the correct one, so while it may/may not have been a misnomer in 1976, it is now.
Another interesting factoid- the Great Dane isn't Danish, it's German too.

Purely a chance to use the down time to get together with people & play silly beggars.
I do the tree & decorations thing, but that's because I like things that twinkle...the kids (and only the kids) get gifts appropriate to them- not anything that's a supposed "must have."
I appreciate my friends and family on a daily basis- but see christmas as an excuse to gather more of them together...with alcohol and chocolate...

You don't need to put socks on before you get into bed. The rest of you is naked, so why worry about your feet? Lets ignore the fact that your circulation is atrocious and your feet are -26 even in August. Don't worry about whoever you're sleeping with tonight, they won't mind. You'll be able to sleep through the encroaching blue tinge starting at your toes and working it's way up your legs- at least until an icicle pops out of your pussy.
The poor animal, and I'm no cat lover.
:doh:
I was just about to send a PM asking you to lick it. Sigh.

I can remember the first time a female told me that and being young I believed her, how wrong I was. It was then I realised just how complicate the female of the species are.
Ah, but I'm "odd" apparently- I mean it.

And back to the point...
I've been trying to find a reference to something I read a while back- but I can't, so this is just conjecture...
Anyone remember a case a while ago when a baby was mauled to death by his grandparents two dogs in Wales? They were a Staffie, and a Jack Russell. The article I read alleged that the post mortem results showed the majority of the wounds on the baby were inflicted by the Jack Russell- not what you'd necessarily expect.
Where temperament is concerned, dog breeds can usually be put into one of two categories based upon how they are likely to react to a stressful situation; "fight or flight." Terriers, for example, are usually fighters. Retrievers will usually run & hide. There are, however, always exceptions to the rule, but it's a useful guide to a dog's natural, instinctive demeanor. As a tot, I had a Jack Russell whos whiskers you could have put in pony tails & he would have just licked you. I've met downright aggressive Golden Retrievers. It's just a rule of thumb, and inevitably a lot of how a dog ends up reacting is down to it's owners.
Dog owners need educating. Every dog is potentially dangerous around small children, it's the extent of the damage that differs.

Dave hit the nail on the head. FFS, I even chose not to quote Kent directly to make it clear it wasn't a dig- just a snippet of information.
Two people at least now know something they didn't before, which was my purpose. There's a general misconception that "Alsations" are the short haired type popular when I was little, and that GSD's are the longer haired breed more popular now. A surprising amount of people think they're two different breeds.
I was being helpful- Kenty chose to respond in a condescending manner and tiresome one-upmanship.
PS- I have mayo on my chips too, am I Belgian? :shock:

Well the vote is interesting.....even split so far.
Goes to show that even on a little forum like this people are considering voting for them.
I'm seriously impressed with the eloquence of some posters this evening. That and thier considered view whilst equally allowing space for the opinions of others to flourish within such a diverse demographic.
damn...23:45, looks like Ive missed the window of opportunity for the anal thing.

I'm sure you meant "bugger."
Kenty, GSD's are my dog of choice.
I feel no need to elaborate on how many I've owned, how long for, and similarly don't give a flying fuck whether your surname is Woodhouse, you taught the dog whisperer everything he knew, or you are, in fact, a German Shepherd in a dress.
I took a tiny bit from your post, rather than quoting you in your entirity in order to simply shed a little enlightenment, rather than single you out in a "you're wrong manner." But you, rather than saying, "oh, I never knew that"- or maybe even googling "alsation misnomer" and getting on with it had to attempt one upmanship.
Call them what you like. Hell, call your next bitch Witchy- makes no odds to me.
I too was bought up calling them Alsations. It doesn't alter the fact that it's a misnomer.
Over and out.
Witchy.
Dangerous Dog.

I believe everyone has the ability to be ignorant and racist.
I spoke to someone on this very forum ages ago who stated they were not and had never been racist.
So I spoke to them and gave them a scenario, that they could possibly find themselves in, and then asked some questions.
Without doubt without even realising, their answers could be construed as having racist undertones.
I work with an Asian who is def racist with some comments, even though he is so laid back if you blew on him he would fall over.
And every day, he thanks his lucky stars.

Very, very minor pedantic hijack
<<I have had three Alsations>>
there's no such dog, it's a misnomer. GSD's were bought into the UK in quantity after the war. It was thought that the "German" in the name would adversely prejudice the breed, so the name "alsatian" (coming from the Alsace) was coined.
>>Hijack over.
For your information Witchy, the word Alsation is what the Brits call those dogs.
The proper termonology is...German Shepherd!
After having three of these spanning over 23 years, I know more about them and their history, than even the clever Witchy poos.
Some people try to be such smart arses.
Kentypoo, the name "alsation" is what "brits" who don't use the correct terminology call them. My use of the word "misnomer" was a bit of a giveaway. There's really no need for the exclamation mark after the German Shepherd. It's not a surprise. GSD = acronym for German Shepherd dog.

Arnica?

TY, when I did my training the first thing we went through was, foot by foot, how the skin, flesh, and bone would be torn off the body even in a slow speed slide. In Skin V Tarmac, tarmac wins every time.
Thank you for posting that- if it stops one would be hero zooming round town in shorts and a t-shirt, it's worth it. It's a real personal gripe- and don't even get me started on riding gloveless...

Meaty, I love you. I still have my Muppet show double album- every now & then, when the firepit comes out there'll be a wail from the kids to put it on (the record player is in the workshop at the bottom of the garden. Queue several "grown ups" making manah manah noises for hours on end...
I so went and got mine out today, I found it and played it... love it..... now have to see if they do it on CD for Xmas......... I still think that and "lydia the tattoo'd lady" are my favourites from it.....
Right, tell me if anything you hear on the album resembles a certain "crazy frog" song, will you? Everyone thinks I'm insane, but I think it was a direct rip off. :dry:
