of course we don;t quite know that we are not psychic! but in that case we all have no basis to comment on any other thread. i'm interested that you didn;t answer my question- based on your comments we shouldn't answer any query we are not certain about and yet you often do (not saying thats a bad thing, we all do) but why come out with that in this case? why not offer suggestions or support as usual?

Yes, it would if it happened to me just as it says my point is we don't quite know that

And there you go. As with any incident that is posted here (and I say incident because the term story makes it seem that the post is made up from the posters imagination and whilst we will never know if this is ever true to join a discussion one must feel that there is truth there, and the item spoken about is an incident rather than a 'story') whilst none of us know if the incident happened, or happened as reported, we give our opinion on what is posted. As you so often do yourself.

> i'm interested that you didn;t answer my question

I did.  I told you I believe all the points you are raising have been already covered. As to answering queries that we are not certain about the poster did not ask us anything they were telling us a story and citing it as an example of two organisation doing nothing.  I have pointed out the flaws in others taking that to be strictly the case.

its just interesting as its not how you normally answer such posts.

I promise you it is me sitting here :-)

I promise you it is me sitting here

or is that a story too

Have to say I think you've got the real deal there calmstorm :-D :-D :-D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An Interlude ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Reader,
Are you,like me, standing in the shadow of what appears to be a Mountain! standing where once was just a little Mole hill that could have easily been hopped over Are you also debating wether to continue lacing up your hiking boots and trek on or to go make a cuppa and have a jaffa cake? (Maybe thats just me then!)
         Whilst half heartedly struggling with these laces and pondering on wether I have the energy to 'do' this mountain... I cant help but think if its all about clarification why have none of them bothered to ask the OP directly!!?? ooh would you look at that! theres a great clag of mud on my boots, need to knock them against something hard...heads are looking good at the moment. ;) )

*sigh*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And would there be ice lollies and popcorn available during this interlude?????  Put me down for Choc Mint chip and a HUGE tub of SWEET popcorn and I'll help you get the mud dislodged :-D

LOL......is this real or just my imagination............***holds sides laughing****......and ducks from the boots, the mud slinging, and floats off on the cloud to collect the kids :) :) :)

Cyas later xx

Just a thought HG...if you don't want to climb the mountain....change route and have a different scenary :) :) no ones forcing you to even attempt the mountain :) :) :)

Liv - I can understand where you have got lost on your mountain ;-) (and I am after all an expert :-P) - but i think the OP was actually Admin wrt the RSPCA withdrawing from Crufts. :-D Though this fact does seem to have vanished into the ether a little!!
