My two dogs chase rabbits all the time (not the one's on the island though

)....

The other week they both went for one coming in from different directrions, as they are both female Staffies I feared the worst, however the rabbit froze and I was surprised to see the dogs just sniffed it then left it, hubby reckons had it took chase the outcome would have been messy!
They are always growling at the cats outside, one approached them in the street whilst on their leads, the cat spat at them and they cr@pped themeslves!!..Pair of softies the pair of them who like nothing better than playing with the other dogs on the riverbank, especailly a blue whippet who is now their friend and plays the chase me game, the whippet really takes the mick out of them, love it

Safe as houses them on the round a bout. Always been there, they'll never leave. Love it they do, Bunny Nirvana.

Whippet's are great for that. A friend used to have one, he found it abandoned and nursed it back to health. We used to take it in East Park and it would literally sit you on your Iestyn by dodging and swerving.

Like Rocky Balboa chasing a chicken.

Just been out for lunch.

Home made fish finger sandwich on door stop bread with tartare sauce and chunky chips.

Yummy scrummy in my tummy.

All over the place you squire, like you're in a rock band innit.

Never been fond of Liverpool (although I haven't been for years) used to get right on my thrupenny's that people would constantly approaching you in pubs trying to sell you lighters, leather jackets and one time, a leg of lamb.

I don't do coconut as I've got a nut allergy (I'm not allergic to coconut, just don't like the connotation) but they are apparently fantastic. Mind you, everything they do is great. It's very nice having an award winning chef as a friend!

Thanks for the link, saved and will be shared with my friends, I am sure we will plan a visit in when we are near there in the future, looks totally scrummy.....My mouth is still dripping just thinking about home made bounties

Blackburn tonight, just up from Ewood park. Clitheroe tomorrow and then it's weekend, don't work Fridays.

I like the nights when they're available.


Still no baby, I get to pack up and travel home if I get the call on the flashing red phone and my paternity leave commences, 2weeks full pay, better than a kick in the teeth.

Ohhh never knew you were eagerly awaiting a birth dum dum...is it your first, do you know the sex, is your partner due/overdue, have you picked a name, is the nursery ready...come on share it with us

First child, surprise, 28th, Jake/Eve (both subject to change should they not suit), nursery is like a mammas&pappas show room.

I think I covered everything?

Ahhhhh!...Surprises are good, nice names love Eve....Mamma & Pappas have always being a good brand/name...

Daily updates from now on please...this is exciting times

I used to live down the road from the mamas and papas factory.

Good story that.

The one in Huddersfield? this is the second post today that has alluded to you living in Huddersfield, is there something your trying to tell us?

I also like the way you glossed over [iour [/ideliberate spelling errors of 'mamas & papas'.


BB - I've just read something that says 'the Father puts weight on if it's a girl', I've put weight on. This might be because we're having a girl or because for the last 2 weeks I've been having tea before leaving for work and then having McDonalds at midnight (because it's free).

I have put weight on, tis because I am a greedy guts



Have you done ring test...woman lays on her back you put a ring (usually a wedding ring, if you are not married a shower ring may do

) on a piece of cotton,hold the ring above the womans tummy if the ring goes in circle it is a boy if ring goes side to side it is a girl, I may have that the wrong way around, my youngest is 16 so it was a long time ago I forget.


Also they say if the woman is carrying all front it is a girl, if behind (eg big bum & hips ) it is a boy..I cannot vouch for this either as I resembled a bus front & back with all 3..went from 9.7 stone to 12.7 every time..
Best idea, wait and see what pops out....Ohh it is soo exciting!

How come your Maccy D is free ?

That's how they sex birds, hold a needle and thread above their heads and if it swings its one thing and if it circles it's the other, I'm also not sure which is which. Seen this done on a program that I've sat and watched due to being too lazy to change the channel following something good.

My chicken selects are free because I'll be in there completing a safety check on the electrics, perk of the job I suppose.

Some people prefer the other fast food joints, In my experience McDonalds is the cleanest.

I was told (4 years ago) if the heart beat ryhtmn sounds more "train" like it's a girl and "horse galloping" like if it's a boy.

This was from the mid-wife at Jubilee Birth Centre. I never picked up either when I listened. It's not relevant but my daughter's now four and doesn't like trains or horses.

that's lucky, both are expensive.

If your missus is craving sweet things (orange juice and wine gums), it's a girl. If savoury (White bread Spam sandwiches) it's a boy. Based on a sample size of one, but 100% accurate.

So if the craving is for wine gum butties, it might either be twins or an hermaphrodite

I craved milk through both of mine (both girls) and funnily enough still have to have at least half a pint each day. Skimmed, of course.

A reliable method of determining sex is to ask the doctor at the twenty week scan

. Apparently a "hamburger bum" indicates a girl, which is good for dum-dum as they do tend to be cleaner than boys, just like McDonalds

My craving was black pudding with all my 3 (1 girl & 2 boys)...Scottish friends you to bring me it in bulk so I could freeze it...I still love black pudding.

I used to like it as a young teen until my Dad told me what it actually was. I also stopped eating anything with pink icing when I found out what cochineal was made from. Can't do wine gums either. Ughhhhhh

I'm a complete fanny, I know.

Me too. 'specially on Good Fridays.
