Really winds me up when a dog barks at me or jumps up at me. Put you f**king dog on a lead or control it! My dog was attacked by another one when he was younger, and has been nervous around others ever since. He seems excitable but gets very defensive and will snap at another dog who gets too close. He's dead soft really and looks that way too, but there are so many other people who just leave theirs off the lead and let them walk up to him, thinking it'll be fine because he's not a mastiff or wearing a muzzle. They'll then inevitably tell me something like, "Don't worry, he/she is really friendly" about their dog as I awkwardly try to steer mine away. I don't care - **** off and keep your dog on a lead like you're supposed to! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really getting found out for what they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted May 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2020 Another Americanism creeping into BBC usage. Clive Myrie on the 10 o'clock news: "People in Hong Kong protesting government restrictions...". No. They are protesting against government restrictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Myrie on the 10 o'clock news: "People in Hong Kong protesting government restrictions...". No. They are protesting against government restrictions. 100%. Also people say “debate me”. It started about, maybe, 5 or 6 years ago. Why? Debate with me. And back to your post, “protesting about restrictions....demonstrating against them”. They’ll at least never change it to “demonstrating government restrictions” because then they’d metaphorically (not literally) have let the beams cross and would probably turn bright tangerine and fat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 See, I was more upset by the BBC still prefacing Cummings trip to Durham with ‘alleged’ at 6:00pm yesterday. Not even Johnson thought it was just an allegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried or heard of EU4, but I'm amazed if it makes Civ look basic. I've probably got a 500 hours on Civ VI and I still learn something new every time I play it.

Clicky with video She’s clearly a bit deranged but this necessity to post everything to social media to name and shame people I’m not a fan of . You could say yeah well she’s a racist and deserves to have her life ruined , but it offers no context , we don’t know what was said or done before the video started etc. Not excusing her actions, though the article suggests she has apologised , we have no idea if it’s out of character etc ... The independent suggests she has been outed online as a liberal rather than a die hard Trump supporter which was probably how twitter reacted to the video ?

All very good points which I agree with, it’s hard to know what really happened without context as so much is spun by anyone with an agenda. What really pissed me off (that I forgot to mention) was the way she was almost strangling her dog in the video. She wasn’t far off hanging the poor sod. That and the need for her to cite the man’s race in that tone. Like you say though she could have been genuinely scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
