These pictures of woof woofs are not doing anything to quell my desire for a puppy 🐶

Look at this stock photo of a beautiful Belgian Malinois 😻

Aww @DrRiverSong he's beautiful

My mum was in Liverpool earlier and it was fairly calm but the Pier Head was closed so they had to get the train home - she said protesters were there but it was not kicking off - shame if it is now - she didn't stay as they wanted to walk down the prom with an ice cream - way to fight fascism mum! (to be fair she's done 60+ year of it so she's allowed a day off).

Here is Bernard in a hat - he's very happy as you can tell.

@ilovesooty he actually looks like he’s telling you off.

@dontcallmelen nice colour paint on the wall behind the flowers!

Chippy. Always anti-fascist.

The Mallies I see are usually with people who keep firm control of them @Apolloneuro , presumably for protection work etc. The exception was one that bombed up to us in the woods and I just admit I felt a bit wary…..but then she skidded to a halt at our feet, completely ignoring our then puppy and SMILED at us! A full on happy grin Grin Her owner apologised and said she was very people-oriented. I did discreetly check what breed she was ad she was and it was full Malinois. If I could guarantee one like her I’d consider it, but they tend to be more reserved, One Person dogs.

Apolloneuro · 03/08/2024 17:49

@MissMarplesNiece he looks like he’d take on Mr bum bite man! If beaks could talk. I hear him in a Scouse, Lily Savage voice for some reason.

@ghostyslovesheets cats faces are so expressive. You can tell he’s thinking “I’m going to throw up in her shoe, later,”

Yeah they’re not a breed for a 60 year old semi retired teacher, with dodgy health. 😂

His go to is actually weeing on things - he probably had a plan to piss in my work bag ... again!

I'm glad the far right protests are little more than a damp squib in most places and James Cleverly can, as said before, go fuck himself. He's basically saying that by supporting people who are against racism, we're upsetting the poor racist snowflakes so that they more or less HAVE to riot. Fuck that.

Cat tax attached, not sure whether that's a hard stare or a happy face in the making.

Looks like he’s been on the catnip, to me!

Cleverly is playing to the right wing there. Idiot.

RafaistheKingofClay · 03/08/2024 17:25

It does seem to be a mixture of a few places where it’s kicking off and quite a lot of places where it’s been a bit of a damp squib. Apparently only one person turned up in Doncaster.

I guess if you have to bus people in, there’s only so far you can stretch yourselves.

it was 3 non local people who turned up. no one local showed! i imagine that was down to the large police presence since early doors this morning (im right in the centre) they will have kept anyone known for causing trouble out of the city centre. the 3 who did turn up soon left complaining about donny lads not being reliable for anything!

BestIsWest · 03/08/2024 17:59

Thanks for new thread. Nice title. Local pony tax from me.

Here's a pic of my cat who died last year at the grand age of 16. I love this photo because she had so much attitude. Her nickname was Fatcat because she was terribly overweight (6kg!) when we got her from Cat Rescue along with her sister-cat, Blanket. Clue: she'd been eating her food and Blanket's food too - she was proper miffed when we started feeding them separately.

@ghostyslovesheets Bernard does not look impressed with you 🤣

My boy is obviously a good boy. Apart from a habit of stealing food when given even a moment of opportunity. But he’s a big loving softy. Although his bark scares off anyone who may want to be a bit naughty.

has the weather been bad elsewhere then if it’s put off the thugs? It’s been nice up here.

NoDishiForRishi · 03/08/2024 18:01

Hello all!

SerendipityJane · 03/08/2024 18:01

I suspect a lot of rioters simply can't read. Let alone read a timetable.

Maybe they are looking for paediatricians ?

Apolloneuro · 03/08/2024 18:01

Oh love her @Willowkins

We had a cat who sat like that @Willowkins , he was also rather overweight and not blessed with many braincells. We called him the Woolly Monkey because that’s what he looked like. Suspect he sucked in his cheeks and begged for food locally because we kept him on a strict diet. He certainly didn’t get his extra calories from hunting anything.

If a sticker had that razor behind it, it wouldn’t sit flat. So don’t pick off the bumpy stickers, people!

Thanks for the new thread. No pets here I will find some tax and post.

Just take care folks. These knuckle draggers don't really bother me. They are mere cannon fodder for the 5% that are behind them. And they probably speak Russian.

He was screaming at me! 🤣

I shouted back at him and told him he was a murdering little sod, then my NDN was heard from over the wall "Oh don't tell little Tennyson off. He's so cute" 😁
