Yup, I just can’t stand that bloke. A massive wanker.

Missed the drug test or ran from the dressing room as sports reported at that time said and took a mandatory ban, cheated on his wife and only he knows if he is not cheating on his current.

Bipe 24-06-2022 03:53 PM

Since we're digging out Rio 'super injunctions' Ferdinand let's add to the list his conflicts of interest seeing as he never discloses them himself when waxing lyrical on BT Sport:

Relationship with Sports Direct to sell his range of leisurewear that and then slags off the Newcastle fans who wanted Mike Ashley gone.

Represents a number of top footballers via his PR and marketing agency, most notably Raheem Sterling who according to Ferdinand is the best player on the pitch whenever he plays.

Who ever owned my rescued Cocker Spaniel. Used as purely a breeding bitch. Then at 6 turfed out. She is beautiful dog but so terrified of everything. Will not take a treat whatever I have tried. Is content with just any little bit of attention. Walking her is beautiful and easy. Except when she sees any other dog when all she does is avoid at any cost.
Its going to be a long slog of giving her the love reassurance confidence that sge deserves . Keeps me fit occupied doing it and she gives me therefore as much as i give her. She is more chilled with the wife but not vastly so.
Worked out that she probably made the breeder/farmer 50k in her breeding days. Showing just a little care treating her to a touch of kindness us not much to ask in return.

It comes with time and is simply wonderful when they get there. Every little step is a pleasure in its self. One of the things I regret with my remaining dogs is they won’t let anyone in. I have to wait until they are gone before I can help again. Well done on what you are doing, all of you will benefit.

Its a three way street. I do the early morning walk or more correctly plod. But it forces me out whatever the weather and however I feel. She has no worries about the walking stick. So we plod along occasionally stopping for a distanced chat with other dog owners.
Wife does the long walk either afternoon or evening depending on how hot.
The Cocker does not even recognise a treat or more that its for her. She eats her food as if she not going to be fed again.
Its going to be slow even on basic training though she has over the last few days shown an understanding of a whistle. That when i whistle its food time or walk time. Having had a Boxer or Terriers its an eye opener having a totally chilled dog. I have heard one bark since we had her. Visitors she will sit next to the wife not move. I have a feeling she is very wary of males.
As you say its time gives me something to do and every little win will mean so much. Mind you i have a multitude of treats she has ignored. Very tempted to take her to Pets at Home and raid the pix and mix with her see if there is anything she likes.

I had lost a few pounds, Peter, so it was disappointing, but chocolate digestive biscuits dipped in my tea seem's to be my undoing, causing my lack of self-control, eating someone else's chocolate biscuits.

I'm okay with the drug habit. It makes your posts bearable, even somewhat comedic,which is nice:D

I did get another packet of chocolate digestive biscuits today, and so far, so good;)

The biscuits today, untouched so far so good.

Not always (and realise you're joking) I think my dentist is a rare exception: he's the best I've ever had, and now all my family and a few friends also go to him.

About 7 years ago I had to have a root canal. Had 4 appointments with him as he tried to deal with the infection, which would normally take 3 visits, but it still wasn't quite right and I still had some pain. So he referred me to a specialist (endodontist), and said that because he hadn't been able to fix it, he wouldn't charge me the $1,000. I thought that was bloody decent of him.

Laws have just been passed here that give Language police (yes we have language police) more power than police, the right without warrants to go into any business to check if English is necessary on their computers, if not you can be fined. Also, Trudeau has let Quebec change the Canadian Constitution, making French the only official language in Quebec taking all kinds of rights of English-speaking Canadians away.

Go outside of Montreal,Quebec City and you will be hard-pressed to find anyone speaking English. That's where the separatists/anti-English get their majority votes. We have had language peace here for many years but this gov't is playing to the fears of the lowest and dragged us back to the 70's

This annoys me lol, just a little more on it.

If I had kids it's illegal to send my kids to English school.

Historic anglophones

Services in English will be restricted to those who are eligible to attend English school in the province, or to those who attended English school in Canada outside Quebec.

I am not eligible as I am classed as an ethnic immigrant even with Canadian citizenship.

The notwithstanding clause

Among the most contentious points of the bill is that it sets aside basic rights of equality guaranteed in the charters of rights and freedoms of both Canada and Quebec, which means that those who feel their rights are infringed will not be able to use the overridden articles of the charter to challenge it.

Immigrants have six months to learn French

The law states that agencies of the government can provide services in a language other than French to immigrants coming to Quebec, but only for the first six months after their arrival.


Language watchdog powers and small businesses

The law extends the language charter to small businesses with 25 or more employees, when the previous threshold was 50 employees. The Office québécois de la langue française would also be granted powers of search and seizure without needing a warrant to inspect businesses and ensure they are complying with the law.

New powers for the French-language minister

The minister responsible for the French language would be in charge of ensuring compliance with the law. Among the minister’s powers would be to withhold grants or subsidies promised to municipalities if there is a suspicion they have not complied with the French-language charter.

Law and contracts

Business contracts must be drawn up in French, and if there are versions of a contract in two languages, the French will take priority if there is a discrepancy. A company’s pleadings in court will have to be in French, or translated into French. All judgments in court will be in French or translated into French, and judges will no longer need to be bilingual.

Services in French

Services to the public must be provided in French, and employees must not be required to speak English unless a company has demonstrated that it is essential for an employee’s job, and that the company has done all it can to avoid a requirement to speak a language other than French. The bill also makes it easier for those who aren’t served in French or employees who feel their right to communicate in French was violated to make complaints.

College access and new requirements

The total number of students allowed in English-language CEGEPs would be capped at 17.5 per cent of the total provincial CEGEP population, and access to English-language programs in French CEGEPs would be reduced.

Mandatory French-language exams that students must pass in order to graduate from French CEGEPs would be extended to francophones and allophones studying at English CEGEPs.

It is, on the ground everything feels ok until you need services, going to the hospital, going to court or school.

Trudeau has just sacrificed the English Canadians in Quebec by allowing Bill 96, this is what you get when you give into separatists in appeasement, they just make it a separate country from within.

Scotland, maybe not language but have fun ;)?

Sounds like Catalonia. Eventually businesses start leaving and you turn into an ethnically pure theme park.

Used to be a joke at work that I should be able to speak at least one of the official languages of Canada with my South London accent, but that's gone now.

I have 3 or 4 years to go work-wise and I am easily under the 15 employees so will probably make a decision on where I will retire too soon. I fancy Worthing ;)

Motorcyclists with L Plates aggressively weaving in and out and acting like they know it all. Half of them seem to be employed by pizza shops. Do they actually get taught how to ride safely?

Had 4 appointments with him as he tried to deal with the infection, which would normally take 3 visits, but it still wasn't quite right and I still had some pain. So he referred me to a specialist (endodontist), and said that because he hadn't been able to fix it, he wouldn't charge me the $1,000. I thought that was bloody decent of him.

You are right of course, I was a tad over the top.

I too had a root canal many years ago, and within days it got an abscess, and the tooth had to be pulled.

The dentist who did the root canal, sent me back my check still uncashed straight away which I thought was pretty decent of him.

On the other hand, he may have been covering his butt in case I blamed him for the abscess (which I didn't).

May as well quote the Jerry Sadowitz bit that led to him being punched out on stage:

Hello moosef~ckers! I tell you why I hate Canada, half of you speak French, and the other half let them. Why don't you speak Indian? You might as well speak the language of the people you stole the country off of in the first place.

When I enter my password into my banks website and hit enter nothing happens. I have to actually drag the cursor and click on the "Sign On" button.

Not sure any other websites requiring a password do this.

I know, first world problems.
