LOL.

Apparently in Malawi the rat is considered a delicasy, poached in mango juice. Maybe you could do a deal with a Malawian restaurant?
Quote: Griff @ April 17 2008, 11:18 PM BSTBelieve me after having rats in our garden for the n-th time, we looked into this matter very carefully. I believe the Norfolk Terrier is the ultimate rat killing machine.
Nah, it's the huge industrial sized rat trap thing which snaps their spines. Did the trick when we had one trying to get into the basement at my office. Little f**ker actually started eating through the concrete step to get under the door.
Dogs are nicer than people - even those staffs and pit bulls because they've invariably got more intelligence, sense and humanity than their arsehole owners.

Guard's van? When was the last time you took a Great Western train? 1915?
Quote: Griff @ April 17 2008, 11:22 PM BSTI have to say I've seen the Revenue Protection People in action on FGW once, and they were rubbish. They just sort of "reasoned" with the aggressive pissed-up soccer hooligans who refused to get off the train, and this went on for about 30 minutes, and made me very late home. (No I wasn't one of the drunks.)
That reminds me, I must write a VERY pissy e-mail to National Rail or whatever they're called this week. F**ktards of positively French proportions.

Very good.
Alright guards crappy little hidey room, better.

Surely there are easier ways to nobble a greyhound. I mean don't trainers run some sort of anti wanker patrol?
I actually thought it was a sick joke. 
What kind of dog do people on here have?
I had an Australian shepherd/lab mix, best dog ever. He passed away two months ago, but he lived for close to 15 years and had a good life having free range of my family's farm.
Here is a picture of Patches:

If, by some miracle, you get on a train which has a guard.
As far as I can tell, all they actually do is blow whistles inexplicably loudly just as I walk past them.
They want to attract your attention, and impress you with their expansive lungs, 'cos they reckons you're a fitteh.
Mmmmm, lungs!

I had to go back to see what you meant, it does kinda look like that eh?
Yes that's the creek that runs in the back of my family farm. The creek can be rather low nearing the end of the summer, it's currently over flowing at the moment.
We rotate our crops between potatoes, canola and wheat.
I like dogs. I've got a springer spaniel. Dogs are cool, cats are sneaky bastards.
I always think Staffies look a bit ashamed.
It's chihuahuas I feel sorry for. I mean do they feel like a dog, but just really inadequate. And as for those bat eared french bulldogs.
