Hundreds, more like thousands. The great thing for us it that it would appear that a hell a lot of these things are currently getting rehomed in Scotland. There was a story yesterday about some fuckwit that has collected 50 of them that he is looking to find homes for. Obviously those homes will be decent, responsible dog owners. Like fuck it will.fishfoodie wrote: Fri Dec 29, 2023 1:23 pmDarwinism in action !Ymx wrote: Fri Dec 29, 2023 1:10 pm Plus. They now have a taste for testicals.

Imagine being dumb enough to pay hundreds of pounds for a dog that might decide to eat your meat & two veg ?
Hopefully they do all get a taste for bollocks, & that'll remove the breeders & owners from the gene pool.

The first time I knew I was outgunned was when I encountered two Rottweilers, I knew that if they turned on me I would not stand a chance, it's the same with these Bully XLs. I'm happy enough with Staffies and the like, not these things.

Surely if they are common, then by definition you should expect to experience one.It is common to hear about earthquakes in Japan, but you wouldn't expect to actually experience one.
Glad to hear you're OK, and that the tsunami alert has been lifted.Kiwias wrote: Mon Jan 01, 2024 11:41 pm There was a decent shake-around yesterday with the earthquake up the coast but no damage. What amused me was this comment in the BBC report from a Pom visiting Japan.

Jesus, that's amazing! Massive explosion as the left engine got ripped off. I guess they all evacuated out the right side of the plane. Well done to the cabin crew!Kiwias wrote: Tue Jan 02, 2024 9:30 am Just reported that all 400 on the plane have safely evacuated

Even when you have fully trained personnel in emergency evacuations (marine, oil & gas, etc) there is always a risk of someone getting it wrong (seen this in the real world) so to do it on a commercial airliner is indeed amazing.Kiwias wrote: Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:57 am Some good English coverage on Sky
Comments about how well-behaved the passengers are as they head for the exit doors. That is a facet of disasters in Japan that is admirable -- no panic, no looting, no rushing, no screaming.
Just seen video of the plane landing and a huge explosion as it touched down - then going down the runway in flames - totally amazing that they got all the passengers out alive. Must have been incredibly scary for all involved.shaggy wrote: Tue Jan 02, 2024 12:50 pmEven when you have fully trained personnel in emergency evacuations (marine, oil & gas, etc) there is always a risk of someone getting it wrong (seen this in the real world) so to do it on a commercial airliner is indeed amazing.Kiwias wrote: Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:57 am Some good English coverage on Sky
