Re: What silly/stupid 'challenges' did you do as a teenager?
Getting back to the subject of the the tread. As a kid I discovered some bullets, no doubt left there by the Germans, in an underground chamber of the local church. They explode if you strike them on the pavement as I did!
If there is such a thing as a god, it must be putting off the pleasure of my company for as long as possible.

Does it affect their performance somehow?
If a dog is kept in a shed,it should have one of those lights over it.
I used to help at a rescue centre,those poor dogs in the winter,I can remember watching them shiver in the freezing cold..

Precisely what I said a few pages back Muddy.
If we take a dog on, we should be willing to provide for both it's physical and emotional needs.
It is unnatural for them to live, eat, and sleep in solitude.
I compared it to us being forced to stay in a jail in isolation for years.
Is it any wonder this dog disliked humans? I don't think so.
Yet he still didn't bite her when being teased and provoked.
Says a lot doesn't it.
I'll be getting my own programme on channel 4 next.
