Robbo, it’s no good knocking the board up into the air after you lost the game. Learn to accept defeat gracefully as I do.
I think there may be a slight missunderstanding here. James’s original post was something to the effect that he liked Ugo’s siggies as they changed almost daily, but he withdrew/deleted it immediately I’d read it, as he felt it may be perceived as inflamatory. It wasn’t really flaming, just a wee joke, nevertheless he stuck to the thread question……i.e. why he liked a particular siggy, although I appreciate that in ugo’s case he doesn’t have a particular siggy, which was the whole point made by James. I hope that clarifies matters in my usual long-winded and unnecessarily complex way.
EJ, thank you for that courteous reply. No apology necessary, ’twas a mere missunderstanding.
I promise not to use the theme night thread to indulge in flaming or counter-flaming EJ. x
My pooch is fine thank you, and she’s asked me to pass on a kiss from her to you…………..>
*Peco licks EJ’s face*
Checkmate Robbo!
Ach James, flame away. I read it before you deleted it. It wasn’t nasty what you said, and you did give your reasons why, which is what I’m interested in.
Oh, it was also funny James.
Remember to say why you like it.
Cheers Lamby!
No James, it’s the same thread.
I love dogs and cats, but to be honest, it’s not that they are dirty as such, it simply that they are animals, and therefore they have different habits. They can’t take baths or showers on their own, and they can’t wash their paws with soap and water after toileting, but in their own way they are clean creatures. Cats bury their poo, and they lick themselves clean. Okay, dogs will s h i t anywhere, and they don’t bury it like a cat, but they still lick themselves clean. No animal fails to keep itself clean as best as nature equips it do do so.
If you worm your pets, the chances of catching worms are negligible. Simple hygene is all you need to observe with pets. You can brush the teeth of dogs, but I don’t know about cats, cat owners will have enlighten me on that.
Dogs only lick peoples hands and faces because of the salt on our skin, they like the taste, there’s nothing more to it.
I’ve known some filthy people who were smelly and wreaked of BO, and folk who never wash their hands in the bathroom. You’d be surprised at what goes on in the kitchens of expensive restaurants.
Did you know that most peoples’ toothbrushes are seething with E Coli?
As for dogs licking kids faces, I don’t approve of that for obvious reasons, but don’t forget that little kids are not the cleanest people either. A friend of mine worked in a nursery, and though it was a clean place, and she was a clean person, she was always falling victim to bugs. Little kids are the worst when it comes to not washing their hands in the loo, and then they come out and touch stuff like plasticene, and stick bit in their mouths etc, and the other kids handle it too. My friend was always catching some gastro-type bug when she worked there, and so too did other staff.
Kids are dirty, and so are all sorts of pets, and so too are adults. Lets not be paranoid about germs. It would surprise you if you read up on some of the toxic substances that are in household cleaners, even disinfectants and baby-wipes.
I know the risks, and I know the dangers too, and I’ll continue to let my dog lick my face and hands, but I avoid letting her lick my lips or near my eyes.
Once upon a time, a man named Robbo went fishing in the JC Ocean. He wasn’t that keen on fishing, but he had it in mind to catch a rubyshark, this was one of many Scottish species that swam these waters. He felt that the rubyshark was pretty dumb and would be easy to catch, but he also felt that a lot of the Scottish sharks were just as dumb, and if he didn’t catch a rubyshark he’d catch some other dumb Scottish shark.
He devised a plan to catch himself the rubyshark. The plan was simple, he went to the edge of the pier and yelled out to all the sharks and sea creatures…..
” I don’t mean to offend all of you by saying this, but a lot of you Scottish sharks are really dumb, and there is a particularly dumb Scottish shark in this ocean and I’m sure you all know who it is”.
Robbo proceeded to slash his wrists and jump into the water where the sharks liked to swim and feed. Robbo’s blood spread through the water, and sharks being sharks, one struck.
The first shark to take a bite at him was a Scottish shark, a pecoshark. It wasn’t the largest shark in the ocean, but the pecoshark was known to be quite a ravenous feeder when it smelled blood. As Robbo’s life-blood drained away, he yelled at the pecoshark…..
“My plan worked! I didn’t want to catch you pecoshark, but you proved that I was right by taking a bite out of me”.
The pecoshark tried to explain to Robbo……
“You have only proved that you were stupid to call us stupid, because only a fool would make such a sweeping statement about Scottish sharks. Do you expect us not to eat you when you offer yourself up to us so foolishly and shed your own blood”?
Robbo was unable to realise his stupidity, and said to the pecoshark…….
“You are a dumb Scottish shark too. I did not say that all Scottish sharks were dumb, I was only speaking about one shark”.
The pecoshark reminded Robbo of his own words, but Robbo denied having said them. Each time Robbo struggled in the water to extricate himself from being eaten alive, he bled even more. The pecoshark told him not to do this, but Robbo would not listen, and this made him bleed more heavily, and the pecoshark could not resist the taste and smell of blood, and he took another bite out of Robbo.
Robbo bled so much that other sea creatures gathered around. They asked him which particular Scottish shark it was that Robbo felt was so dumb, but Robbo refused to tell them anything other than…..
“It was a plan, and my plan worked”
This was not enough for the other creatures, and they pressed Robbo to reveal who he was referring to. Eventuallly, Robbo revealed that it was thre rubyshark that he thought was very dumb. The other sea creatures all told Robbo he was wrong, but he refused to accept it.
Along came the rubyshark, and took a little bite out of Robbo, but she didn’t think he was very tasty, in fact, she looked on him as a little spratt, and she spat out the bite she took of him.
Robbo and the pecoshark continued to discuss the folly of Robbo’s actions, and with each bite the pecoshark took, Robbo claimed it was proof of his plan coming good, and that this was what he had wanted all along, to show the dumbness of the Scottish sharks. The pecoshark tried many times and in many ways to enlighten Robbo, but Robbo’s mind was closed. The pecoshark was forced to accept that Robbo would never admit he was wrong, taking bites out of him was no good, even if his bones were picked clean and he left Robbo as nothing more than a skeleton on the ocean bed, Robbo would die believing he was cleverer than all the other sea creatures. Robbo also believed he was a funny and humourous person, far more witty than the pecoshark. The pecoshark decided to swim away, and could only hope that Robbo would look at the scars of his bites each day and perhaps one day realise that pecosharks actually do have a sense of humour, as most people know that all sharks love nothing more than PULLING YER LEG.
