With several headline cases yet again, its the owners of dangerous dogs , yes some breeds are more dangerous than others. My opinion time for the owners in certain circumstances to charged with man slaughter maybe even murder, in cases where the victim is seriously injured then gbh (serious assault in Scotland) or a similar charge

Got a lot of sympathy for this, certain breeds have more requirements for training, socialisation and control than others however by far and away the most important thing is the ,ahem, "breed" of owner, some of whom should never be allowed near a frigging amoeba let alone an animal capable of inflicting serious injury (or worse) on a person.  Although some dogs (like people) will just have bad wiring in the brain far too many times it is the idiocy of the owner that results in a dangerous dog. I say this as an owner of a dog who is part staffie - well known as a dodgy breed because of the lack of understanding by many owners of the social nature of this breed: leave them alone for frequent long periods withouth proper exercise and there is a problem coming your way. But hey they look cool and hard don't they

Finished a mp3 cd (with devil, winter, hold on, die trying and other non NMA or downloaded songs (legal bought or legal downloaded) to listen in my car the next days waiting for my shop parcel with the single and cd (and other special add ons),
Just listening to it on my normal pc and noticed how many more other informations are hidden embedded in an mp3-file
All this digital fingerprints that give me the feeling I`m a criminal person, not doing something legal, big brother is watching me and comes down suddenly to catch me like a crow beeing very very hungry

Well lotus, George Orwell might have got the date wrong by 20 years or so but he had a point............

Rather like Google picking up your browsing habits and then embedding adverts into certain pages. I remember reading an article on the BBC saying it was all a big coincidence.

How is it then after booking a weekend break in a small Welsh village, im being bombed with adverts for the same small Welsh village.

And dont even start me on the spam I get in my Gmail account. Aholes.

[Pol]

Don't shop for anything on gearbest then , you will soon find their adverts popping up on your pages. I find outlook good for non spam

Is that the same as filibustering ? I have often heard Andrew Neil say that but no doubt that is great word. Weasel words was also something that Nick Jenkins said in a recent episode of Dragons Den.

Sounds like i am full of shit, could be the truth but at least i know posh words now to hide it.

Thanks there Pol I've learnt something there including the verb to tergiversate.

Filibustering is a particularly underhand way in which politicians talk out a bill until it runs out of time in its slot in order to block or obstruct it, how cowardly is that.

how cowardly is that.

Not to mention ridiculously anachronistic, prone to sponsoring by vested interests and downright fecking pathetic but that's the house of commons in a nutshell for ya 

Sorry to hear about the lumbago witch - be good

Was really excited to see that James and The Charlatans are playing a double-header in Liverpool... love both those bands, seen them live, both put on a terrific show, both of them on the same night, what a gig...

Aw, bollocks, it's the same night as NMA in Nottingham.  And nothing comes between me and an NMA Christmas gig in Notts...

Grrr.

Damn.  VERY bad day today.  Could turn into a huge rant.  Feel free to ignore this... although I could really use from some feedback from my NMA pals  .  I did try to calm down by posting my usual silly drivel, keep a happy face on, eh?, but it's not working, so I'm back to trying to stop my hands shaking with anger and I'm in a state of absolute upset like very little before...

My Mums husband walked out on her today.  They're both nearly 70.  Married for nearly 25 years. Mostly happy years.  He had an affair ten years ago, but they worked it out.  But over the last couple of years, he's become an alcoholic.  Not simply a 'heavy drinker', but someone who hides whiskey bottles in the shed, the spare room and the hedges around the front garden.  And, apparently, he's not someone whose nice when he's drunk.   

But tonight, it got really nasty.  He packed his bags whilst shouting stuff like 'I'll throw you down the fuckin' stairs, you bi t ch'.... I swear to God, if he puts a single bruise on my Mum, I will find the c u n t and I will batter him senseless.  I don't give a fuckin' shit that he's an old man.

But... he's a very 'connected' old man.  He was a very senior copper before he retired.  So... a 'weirdo' like me versus a highly decorated, nearly 70 ex-public servant... that wouldn't go well for me, eh?

One of the things that's upsetting me most... I previously and genuinely thought the world of this guy. He was good to my Mum and he was good to me.  It's only in the last couple of years that he turned this way.

Mum went over to a friends house tonight, I'm going over tomorrow.  If he shows up to pick up the rest of his stuff and I happen to be there... I'm not sure what might happen.  He threatened to leave her penniless (they have joint accounts) so Mum's off to the bank to try and put a stop on their accounts... not sure how that works. Advice?

My Mum doesn't deserve this shit.  She got knocked up with me at 20 to a guy who abandoned her when I was a baby and was never heard from again.  She got married again at 30 to another guy (who I call 'Dad'), it didn't work out after 12 years, but fair enough.  Thought it was third time lucky... apparently not.

This fuckin' world... good people get fooked over the worst of all, eh?

I don't know whether to cry or punch out a window right now. Yes, I have been drinking, rather heavily, so apologies if anything on this post was a bit random. Feeling low as fcuk right now.  Seeing as Mum wants to keep this shit quiet (for now), I couldn't go to any social media that might get back to her friends so, sorry, you guys got the brunt of it.  I just needed somewhere to vent or someone to talk to. 

It's not very often I ask for help or assurance.  I really need some help right now.  I'm just so angry and so sad.

Ok ray its 6.30 , I'm going to work soon so maybe not my best answer.
Firstly don't do anything violent, we would all feel the same way but it would be a huge mistake, play him at his own game. Maybe even report it to the police, maybe not much they can do right now but you have a proof a report has been made.
Your mum will be fine financially at least in the long run, she has half of everything including his pension
 . She might find it hard short term but of course I don't know what's what. Yes she definitely needs to go to the bank.
Alcohol can be such a fckin horrible drug and it seems like its gotten a hold on your  "dad" , for now try and not be too hard on him , he seems like a good guy who has let drink get the better of him n he needs help. Remember that he didn't do anything violent though threats are not to be excused. Maybe he can dry out and be the guy you and your mum love again. If it was you I'm sure he would give you that chance.
Spend as much time as possible with your mum . Sort things out with the bank , report it to the police, threating behaviour is a serious offence. Your mum needs a good lawyer, your dad needs a good doctor n people who can help. Make him an appointment with his doc and make sure he goes. If he gets and stays sober your parents can maybe work it out if not be there for your mum .

Hope this helps . No violence, help your mum , see if your dad can win his fight with drink.
