One of the best pieces of advice I ever had about walking to heel was not to obsess about it being actually to heel. In other words, if the lead is loose and the dog isn’t pulling, don’t stress if s/he is ever so slightly ahead - not out in front, but head and shoulders ahead of your front foot

This. Plus, a nip is a warning/correction, not real aggression.

Their tunes were featured on so many compilations in the 80s when go go broke out and they didn’t get paid, so they tried to cash in on their popularity with a rushed album and it was so poor compared to their classic stuff. They’re still up there with the best live bands I’ve seen. I was living in DC in the late 80s and people couldn’t believe how popular go go was with mixed crowds in the uk.

It’s not very good...

Sure, Scotland definitely deserved to win, but they wouldn’t have against any other team in that situation. France can be infuriating.

Except France gifted them a penalty when the clock was red. Why chase the bonus point at that point?

Wayne Barnes is having a shocker

France struggled exiting their 22 after restarts in the first half last week. Disappointing it seems to be the same this week

Come on France

On a happier note, I found one of my boys and the dog fast asleep

That goal was so good, even the ref applauded - 0:14

October 1973, Leicester v Leeds at Filbert Street, one of my first games, both were playing. 2-2, Worthington scored for us. Leeds won the old first division that season.

Of course his bio was called "One Hump or Two?", with a forward by Bill Maynard

There was an ad for Worthington E beer in the 70s, with the line "E's so easy". Whenever Frank scored that would ring out round Filbert Street

RIP Frank Worthington

Frank Worthington. I spent the Saturday afternoons of my youth standing in pen 3 of the Spion Kop at Filbert Street - centre parting, flares, scarf tied round the wrist - watching one the great underappreciated footballers of the 70s.

To answer your question (for the second time) I've had dogs for 40 years, so I'm pretty sure I know the difference between one that has gone limp and is panting heavily, and one that fancies a bit of pampering in the bath. I'm confident most people would.

I think you're overthinking this, and I doubt it has much to do with dogs' intelligence. Some dogs eat stuff that makes them vomit, some dogs eat stones and fuck up their stomachs, dogs do things that make them sick. I've had a dog with a completely ruptured ACL, that would floor most, running and jumping. Dogs are dogs and don't always know or do what's good for them.

This was him

Extreme/noisy panting, going limp. He had to be picked up when it happened - he was normally a typical and lively Stafford. Got him checked out for any underlying cause or related condition and the vet found none. He was otherwise the healthiest dog I've ever had and lived tillvery nearly 16.

The advice was to do what my parents did that time - obviously trying to avoid it in the first place was a better option.

I've met many stupid dogs, but never a healthy one that would do themselves a mischief by overdoing the sun.

You never met my first Stafford, he would do this all the time. My parents were looking after him once and he overheated to the point that they had to put him in the bath with cold water covering his feet and an electric fan blowing cool air on him. I'm surprised they didn't just throw the fan in with him and be done with it.

That was a cracking performance. Another lovely game from Ihenacho

At a push Curry and Watson

Get in!!

England have been very poor in 4 out of 5 games
Jones is a twat, but it has to be the players too
I said it a week ago, I'm amamzed either Vunipola makes the 15 - must be past "glories"
No leadership on the field
No forwards who can make a pass
Shocking penalty count, all in the wrong area - the fella with the mullet must have played 10 minutes in the tournament and given away 2 penalties in front of the posts
Farrell hurts himself putting in another of those "hits" he's famous for
There can be no more than 3 England players who would get into the Lions squad on form
If I were an England fan, I would be worried that Jones' response will be to pick a bigger and more physical pack
The red card was a red all day long, like it or not, according to the rules, which are there for a reason

Anyway, time for the French to show their class

As if...
