On another thread, the subject of 'Thriller' (as sung by Michael Jackson) came up. This song was written by Rod Temperton, which I was aware of, what I wasn't aware of was how many other great songs he wrote... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

In 1986 the BBC did a "Domesday Project", aiming to record daily life.
It's now gone online. And you can read the stunning contribution from my 10-year-old self: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblo...0-213000/page/9 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (I'm printing out a copy to take to my mother) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I think it'd reduce the numbers of irresponsible owners, but sadly not eradicate them completely. Only this week one of these dogs decided to bare its teeth and growl at me (luckily said animal was on a leash). The response from the owner? 'Don't worry, he won't hurt you.' I personally wouldn't have put any money on that outcome... |
