Did I say 'Issaan'? I meant Nissan, in the staff canteen. Very popular in Sunderland .... Looking forward to serving you from our barbecue in Lakeland!

Is there a solution here to the tons of poop scoops that UK city refuse has to handle? Horse in Bordeaux, dog in Buriram, snake in Alice Springs, dog fish at the chippy, reverands in the pacific islands, .........and so on.  |

My mother judges at crufts and you should see the pooping area at the NEC after the event (respect to people doing this job  ) Anyway back on topic in the wife's village the phrase "if it moves you can eat it applies" apart from our village wedding party where some kindly sole travelled a long way on his motorbike to get me a KFC (boxed with the usual salt etc so I hope real) rather than the Snake and other assorted items on the BBQ which may well have included the latest "roadkills" colin 244 |

quote: after his dog disappeared
Hey, John thats a great trick...they ever work out how he did it ? Seriously though I miss my hound when I am in England and he is 9 years old now which is old for a Thai dog, and every time I leave I wonder if I'll see him again. He is a daft old son of a bitch (literally!), with hardly any teeth so has to eat rice soup now. He used to go with me when I went for a run, but in the hot season would stop half way and wait for me to come back that way (maybe not so daft after all) |

Let me get this righr Inouii. You are advocating that we eat dog in the UK to cut down on the poop, thereby cutting the need for poopa scoopa staff, which in turn lightens the council tax burden on us all ? That's brilliant ! Have you considered standing for election ?  Colin your village is a bit iffy quote: If it moves eat it
You seem to be implying that the roadkill has not quite finished moving  |

Hey ! It's n ot just in Thailand ! Taken from todays Evening Post online: quote: MASKED RAIDER SAID HE WOULD KILL MY DOG
A Swansea man has re- lived the terrifying moment he was woken by a masked maniac threatening to kill his dog.The intruder, who was armed with a knife and a screwdriver, was furiously demanding money and drugs.
But, wearing only a pair of pyjama bottoms, Demetrie Wyatt bravely tried to reason with the attacker and managed to persuade him he was in the wrong house.
"I was woken by this guy standing in the doorway of the bedroom," he said.
"He was obviously very agitated, and was saying he had been watching me and wanted drugs and money.
"My brain was trying to make sense of what was happening - I wasn't really afraid but I just couldn't believe what was happening.
"Then he threatened to stab my dog unless he stopped barking."
The early morning incident happened in a ground-floor flat in Glanmor Road, Uplands.
It is thought the intruder had scaled a rear garden wall and broken in through a bathroom window.
Mr Wyatt said he initially made a grab for the intruder's screwdriver - before seeing the assailant also had a large knife.
"I thought better of it when I saw the knife," he said.
"I was only wearing a pair of pyjama bottoms - if there had been a tussle or we had fallen to the ground the blade could have gone into me like a knife through butter, even if he hadn't intended to stab me."
Thirty-five-year-old IT worker Mr Wyatt then began talking to the intruder, trying to calm him down and reason with him.
"I don't know who he was looking for, but I managed to make him realise he'd made a mistake and got the wrong address," he said.
"I was just trying to stay calm and to calm him down.
"He had obviously come prepared, with the knife and screwdriver, but I sensed he didn't mean to harm me { John's edit: only the dog !}."
Eventually the intruder fled with Mr Wyatt's wallet, and police were called.
"The incident has made me quite jumpy," he said.
"In the evenings I am now very aware of noises in and around the flat."
The incident took place just after 5.30am on Wednesday, March 12. Police are appealing for help in finding the robber.
He is described as white, between 5ft 11in and 6ft 2in and in his mid-20s. He is of medium to stocky build, with green/blue eyes, and was wearing a dark hooded top with a dark scarf covering his face. He was also wearing gloves.
Acting Detective Inspector Richie Jones, of Swansea South CID, said: "This was a very nasty and frightening incident, and I would urge anyone with information to contact us."

Not to leave out the possibility of a whole new haut couture industry from furs Johnswansea.  We could do with some cat lovers of the same culinary persuasion as some our Buriram/Cambodia friends. Ofcourse we all know the Chinese takeaway/restaurant story. |

I know Noi's family were very upset when their dog was run over-it went bounding out to meet the daughter on her motorcy,except it wasn't daughter...Noi was surprised just how upset her father was.

. But he prefers watching snooker on the telly to footy - especially the cue ball !
Well, at least it doesn't happen as much.
I know well that whilst some Issan people eat dogs etc., many love them as pets.
