Be aware, I have been trained in having an argument today, but please elaborate.

Thomas Gainsborough "Greyhounds coursing a fox", one of the greatest English artists. Painted the great and the good, but loved his dogs and horses.

I always preferred Landseer to Picasso anyway.

The course was Critical Thinking (I think) and how to have an argument was only a part of it. This was followed by a course on Creative Thinking, that used Picasso as an example of "abstract" "thinking outside of the box" which inspired me to start drawing pictures of terriers knacking foxes and lurchers striking hares in my notebook, something that I used to do at school and would get twated by the teacher, but not today.

So is this the right room for an argument?

I had to do a course today, the latest drive from HR that everyone needs to complete 1 training session per month. They don't understand that sometimes proper relevant courses are happening in order to retain professional competency or people are busy doing the job that keeps these HR and admin types employed. Anyway, this month's was Critical Thinking, I think, wasn't paying too much attention. A big part of the course was arguing. I had not received any training in this before today other than the Monty Python sketch which is more us useful in many circumstances. I did learn today that

Cushing's disease in dogs. Not so much the disease, shit happens, and certainly the dog is not at fault. But rather a symptom which is increased appetite which has manifested itself in my dog becoming obsessed with hunting and eating crap. Even that is not the "pet hate", the pet hate is the amount of discarded human food, EVERYWHERE! Think of a good finder, searching every inch for the scent of something to flush, now he is finding bread or suet balls left for birds, half eating McDonalds in the grass, pork chop bones(!), who the f**k leaves the house eating a pork chop? In a relatively nice

A bit late to the party but just unearthed these forgotten items on a Spring clean. Bought in 1996 and used again yesterday. 10-12 pumps still gets the .22 Daystate to full power. 60+ shots. Rifle still shoots straight.

I was doing some late Spring cleaning last week and properly dusted off most of the books and found both.

Nothing wrong with a bit of Bargain Hunt on catch-up, pure escapism from the doom and gloom, even if they do lie about the rules of the contest.
-
No No Yes Kind of, but the person was not a stranger Kind of, more like not willing to change Not shed tears, but have been more saddened Only play fighting with ferrets, never been brave enough (or daft enough), to wrestle a wild mustelid Kind of, shared the steak.

Wild caught newts and frogs are good eaters, until they start eating themselves (that's when you need more space) but terrapins not so much. That's when the water born food turns into crazy looking wild biting air born pests.
-
A caterpillar turning into a Butterfly, or even into a Moth, is lauded as nature's beauty. A maggot turning into a Blue Bottle is regarded as disgusting and worthy of a pupil being given the cane and suspended from school. Same miracle of morphosis? 1st lesson learned on ferret housekeeping. And feeding newts & frogs bloodworms.

Posh British people have always pretended to like their eggs.
-
The women's teams are good PR, but nothing more, no money in it. No one really gives a shit. Not saying it's right, but people only pay for what they want. And that it ain't women playing football. The Emperor's New Clothes falls down when it comes to people paying actual money to see them.

Now that the dust has settled, and in the cold light of day, am I happy that Sunderland have been promoted? Not unhappy. The actual game was far more enjoyable than expected. Spent the day at a family party and all of the Sunderland supporters were at the game but one of my niece's latest girlfriends is a Leeds supporter and did a cartwheel when the Mackem's scored. These modern lesbians aren't the Militant Millie types, this one looks like Margot Robbie. She was good craic throughout the game. Happy that the Derby is back on. Not a true Derby of course as has been clarified. A derby is

Another time.

Has your luck improved since you stopped collecting moths?
-
And here's me thinking that parking on the pavement is a product of the current ignorant/selfish mindset of people. How is someone pushing a pram or wheelchair meant to safely get past that? At that time it was only BMW drivers though

Code of Silence ITV. Nothing ever worth watching on ITV other the Dickinson's Real Deal, but enjoyed this. Stopped watching UK crime dramas years ago, actors over acting and totally unbelievable whether pretending to be a copper or a criminal. Directors shooting in dramatic low light when at any time the character could just switch a light on or turn the dimmer switch up. The last UK one that I enjoyed was 1st series Cracker with Robbie Coltrane. Most of the USA ones are just as cliched these days. Enjoyed Code of Silence though. Mostly because of the lead Rose Ayling-Ellis. She is very w

I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it, sitting here watching an old terrier licking his balls. He's probably not thinking too deep but seems happy enough.

I know nothing about politics but we did not descend from monkeys. They and us followed a similar evolutionary path. We are where we are, have nuclear bombs and such, they still have tails and can lick their own balls.

The "greatest lamping wagon"? Back in the Day, where I grew up, Robin Reliant's were often the means to transport the dogs to see the rabbit. Drink driving laws bans were different then.
-
The cars that most are posting about could be recognised in a black silhouette, most of the cars on the roads now could not. They all follow the same shape, designed for pure functional practicability to get angry boring people from A to B using the least amount of fuel. They no longer enjoy a car or enjoy driving and as a consequence drive like c**ts, with a combination of fear and anger.

Thank you gnasher16. There is no great drama to the situation now and it has came to inevitable conclusion, until the next inevitable which comes to us all.
