RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted July 17, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2012 The puppy book we had suggested that the smell of normal household cleaner /disinfectants are very attractive to dogs and will encourage territorial marking. We never used any deterrent products but if Robbie did forget when he was little we cleaned up with one of the suggested products. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixoh8sixoh Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Know how you feel Mike. These days I'm constantly tired - I put it down to the shift pattern, the worst I've ever worked and unlikely to change. No leave permitted now until the second week in September and I've already had three or four of my rest days cancelled. One thing's sure, there will be more of that sort of thing on the way and I'll be glad when this whole fiasco's over and done with although we'll probably all be redundant in 6 months! Dave. I started reading the Alistair Moffat "Arthur and the Lost Kingdoms" book last week, interesting so far, but I think a better knowledge of Gaelic and its pronunciation would probably help me...

S.A.C Martin Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Afternoon all, From the elation of the weekend, I am having a particularly bad day in the office (though I know of one RMwebber having a worse day today, so shan't rant any more than this out of respect for him). Instead, I will go and have a cup of tea and a sit down with some ginger nut biscuits. It's the little things which get you through the day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted July 17, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2012 I don't think I've seen a ginger nut for years, though they never were a favourite. I'm very boring and like "Rich Tea". 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, Dave, it's only now while I'm having term break that I am noticing just how exhausting those past few weeks have been. Strangely, I but do hope I can return to working at school as soon as possible - if only to do something different and less abstract entirely. It'll be in the first week of August only that I'll find out which days I will be working there, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted July 17, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 17, 2012 I ended up starting with one of the papers I'll have to write. Thankfully, it is a topic from a field I covered in great depth for several years, so it shouldn't take too long to come up with something useful.

Because if you dip your ginger nuts they make the tea taste funny. Rich Tea can improve it.... I can get them over here but I think they are made in Canada.

DDolfelin Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Rumour has it that Summer may return to the UK next week. Challenged the parking ticket that SWMBO received in Southport last week on the grounds of inadequate signs as per her testimony. They sent a photo back showing the car parked underneath a sign. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted July 18, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 18, 2012 Morning all. Weather could yet go either way, it seems. I'll be doing a trip to the library today, as well as try and meet one of my tutors in his office hour. Other than that, we shall see... I also finalised the rabbit enclosure yesterday, attaching some wood boards around the bottom of the fence to prevent dirt from being flung into the living room.

travelintrev Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Morning all, Happy Hump day!.. Yes Ginger Nuts, get them here around twice / three times what the UK price would be. The other rare thing is to get a whole packet of biscuits that aren't broken! Oh well, such are the joys of life? Enjoy your day Trev 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Rumour has it that Summer may return to the UK next week. That figures! Our heatwave will be going back to "normal" later today after some severe T-Storms (oh, joy!). So I'm expecting everyone to start complaining of excessive heat in the UK as from next Monday? Man, yesterday was so uncomfortable, I got a reading of 102.5f on my deck and the humidity was in the 90% range. Expecting "Jock Itch" at any moment and I've been living in shorts for weeks....

gordon s Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Gordon likes Ginger Nuts. I do and not just the biscuits.... Morning all. Saw your comment Peter about a few experts, but with all the wedding nonsense, must have missed the cause of your woes. Got a link from the photographer yesterday to some thumbnail shots and the tears flowed again....Big softy that I am. Took the happy couple to Heathrow yesterday and breathed a sigh of relief.

AndrewC Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Morning all. Please recycle yesterday's moan. Southeastern even manged to cancel my train again for consistency. Just 13 days left on this project. By which time I will either take up meditation, class A drugs, or advanced nuclear weapon design. disclaimer: for those with advanced humour deficiency the above inane rambling is meant as a fictional parody and not intended to solicit the procurement of illegal substances or fissionable materials. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Oh, dear I'm getting the dreaded whirling green squares now when I hit the edit button.... What I was going to say is seeing great art makes my eyes water up. Two times recently: Seeing Michelangelo's "real" David and last Saturday when I saw Monet's "Water Lillies" for the first time. Extraordinary painting. When first seen I thought it was Pastels and even more surprised by it being really thick pasted on oils - for such a delicate subject. It's also about 20 feet wide..... I also enjoyed Rousseau's "The Gypsy" whilst Van Gogh's "Starry Night" left me cold. I fully expect 90% not to understand this! Best, Pete. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted July 18, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 18, 2012 Morning all. I thought I'd broken RMweb this morning. The reply pane was in a strange font so I clicked on the toggle edit mode button and it stopped. I didn't even persistently click which allegedly was the theory behind yesterdays outage.

S.A.C Martin Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Most artwork seen in the flesh leaves me cold, Pete. There's something about the portrayal of most of the major renowned artists that their art is over analysed and reported on in the press to the extent that whenever you see the "real" painting, it rarely lives up to the hype. I did, however, have to eat my words when I saw the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. That is one of the most beautiful paintings in the world, and its conservation, given it must be over 500 years old now, is just astonishing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
