Fur enough. Although the term 'fur babies' creeps me out a bit. Some people dress their dogs up in clothes other than to keep them warm...that creeps me out. That is for the people, not the doggie. The fact that it has become an industry creeps me out, too. I know that some dogs benefit from wearing snug sweaters, though. It seems to reduce their anxiety. I applaud that! Dogs taking humans for a walk makes me feel uncomfortable.

Dogs taking humans for a walk makes me feel uncomfortable. At this point, I wouldn't dismiss that possibility outright, donavan. Maybe prepare for the possibility? Uncomfortable isn't as severe a reaction as being creeped out-right?

The Metropolitan Police won’t pursue an investigation into claims major Conservative donors gifted the party £3million in return for peerages. 22 of the party’s main financial donors have been given peerages after donating a combined £54 million.
Who knew? Corruption encouraged by the corrupt. Carry on.

Can you people kindly control your basketball players? I've played a fair bit of netball and we never got up to any of those shannanigans.

That sums up Americans in general, no self control, or compassion for others.

I mean, I just posted a happy anniversary to the Malice at the Palace, and immediately a big NBA fight ensues. Coincidence?

I was talking exclusively Hoops. This might be controversial, but I really don't get the big US sports: Basketball, Football (not much feet involved), baseball. The second two of those seem unnecessarily complicated, and the first just dull..... Ow, who threw that? Mind you, I enjoy cricket, so I can't really talk!

I agree, Basketball could be played in car parking space because they don't use most of the court. Baseball is a complete borefest. And considering they get paid so much they miss the ball most of the time. Football is overlong. If it was 30 mins each way with a 60 min ad break in the middle it might be better. And take the motorcycle hats off and Dallas style shoulder pads out. And cricket isn't what it used to be. Note to cricketers - Don't accuse anyone of anything if you do social media.

I have already gone on the record with how I feel about basketball and football. bimble and donavan...it is blinders and ear plugs that I need for those two sports. The Ice Hockey has TV breaks built in, which blew my mind. There are 20 min breaks between periods, too. That also blew my mind at the first game I attended in person. (They wouldn't let you leave or get back to your seat if you went to the restroom or concession areas. I didn't get warned about that until I was going up the stairs to the seats for the first time.) Baseball grows on you. The minutiae is continuing to get more and more complex and I don't know what half the stat names even mean anymore. Just give me the line scores. What is the sport that has the very best food? Possibly Polo?
