As someone who regularly feeds groups of 50 cattle outside often at
the bottom of a slope so that they approach at speed I can report that
their brakes are rubbish !

Ah, that's another possible cause of Unfortunate Cow Incidents -
entering their field at the time they're expecting to be fed.

CHAAAAARGE!!!

Don't get me going about Japanese Akitos. :-(

I know what you mean Gordon. They can't all be bad surely?

I have seen some which had responsible looking owners, and looked
docile, but they are so powerful, and the kind of people who choose a
dog as a fashion accessory are not the best owners of attack dogs.

I don't know where this silly "let's take the [censored] out of Chris Hill by
posting with a 'lisp' " has come from. I certainly don't have a lisp
(not that Paul would know as he's never met me) and even if I did,
taking the mickey out of anyone's physical disability is about as low as
you can go.

It would be infantile behaviour from a child, but from someone who is
(apparently) an adult with two kids, it really does beggar belief.

I have offered an olive branch to Paul, in the form of an invite to "get
off his chest" whatever it is he finds so objectionable about myself, in
person. I sincerely hope he take me up on that offer.

I know I have a Lab and may be considered biased, but in truth, in your
case it was completely out of character for a Lab to behave like that.
Was there any reason - encroaching on his space" for example? Was he
protecting someone maybe?

Certainly more Labrador than anything else, but probably not a pedigree I
wouldn't have thought. I was just walking past it on the pavement. It was
on a lead and took a lunge at my arm. More of a nip rather than any kind of
full on snarling attack but enough to rip my jacket and probably would have
drawn blood on bare skin. Its owner didn't look surprised (or apologetic).

My impression of Labradors in general is that they're usually fun and
friendly, or "bonkers" as an ex dog trainer friend always calls them. It's
things like Yorkshire Terriers I always keep a wary eye on. I've always
thought I'd get a Pointer if I could be bothered to look after it or a team
of Huskies to pull me about maybe.

You should leave it. Silently put him in your killfile and forget about
him.

I saw a couple with one the other day and got talking. They seemed
responsible and has researched the breed and bred their dog. But they
still had to have the brute on a lead and despite being a [censored] it still
had a go at Magic.

I wouldn't entertain having one.

You can always spot where an Akita owner has stopped by the mounds of
fur.

Haven't I? Well not here maybe, but in another time and place the late

The advice remains the same.

Someone should elbow-cap the deranged [censored].

I have noticed an increase in the fur deposits these days, and in spring
it is useful for nesting birds of course.

True. There are worse things to leave lying around.

I've heard that Cossacks are better than Poles - much braver and
probably a little lighter to carry than a pole.

Can't say I've ever tried it though.

I bet Paul Saunders has played "Cossacks" on his PC.
I haven't played it but watched someone doing so, and the graphics were
impressive for that era.
