Ah Well if the young [(50) that's young!] decides to run again, there will be plenty of fuel on the route for him.
Must have taken Allison a bloody long time to count those butts, has she got nothing better to do

Four pet hates while out walking. Having to get past a group of smokers either standing outside a pub or a hospital entrance, dumped fast food packaging, discarded chewing gum and most of all dog muck.

Re: The new religion and the insanity of the greens ,
I have been a walker for many years and also an owner of three dogs over the last 30 years and my pet hate apart from the usuall discarded rubbish is dog owners who seem to think it is a good idea to bag the poop and then hang it on the the first bush or tree they pass. Take it home you ba----s or put it in a bin.

Re: The new religion and the insanity of the greens ,
There used to be hundreds of dogs in Cooma, maybe it's the country thing, but over the last three years of bush fires, floods and Covid haven't seen to many around. Used to have this dog walk once a year where they all had the dogs on a lead and carrying their poop bags dantily in their hands, but only on the walk never saw any carrying at other times.

Dont know about other places, but here in Australia seems that the Fag of old is slowly going out te Window, and most all Teens now are taking to the Puffer, which gives the same effect as a Fag! Supposed to be Cleaner for the Air! But waht about the Lungs! Still waiting on long standing tests to see what it does .comparable to the Fag!

Re: The new religion and the insanity of the greens ,
A guy I know complains about the dog walker who puts the bag with the 'goodies' in into his letter box.
Our letter boxes are at the end of the path, thankfully not like UK in front door.
But today in the magazine with paper, younger generation are giving up the grog for a healthier life.
Does that fit with 14 trips to the Golden Arches each week.
Does not effect Corona drinkers either from what I see.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
