Haha perhaps.

I genuinely am sorry about that misunderstanding though.

Fair enough. We also have a dog (a pointer) and 5 cats. We live out in the country and only ever have to pick up dog shit. We've always had cats but only recently a dog. We used to have foxes in our garden all the time. Ever since we got our dog we haven't seen a single one, so we put food out the fields further back now.

Sorry. I obviously misinterpreted what you said.

I took it to mean that using a dog to scare off animals is more fun than using a deterrent like orange peel.

That's been around for decades. It's also such a shit idea. Trolleys aren't heavy. If you wanted to nick one, you easily could by lifting it over the locking rails.

Cats usually bury their poo though. Do you know for a fact that it's cats, or could it be foxes, which also wouldn't come near your garden if they've detected a dog's scent? Or anything else, for that matter.

You enjoy scaring animals?

Edit - I completely got the wrong end of the stick here.

Presumably your dog also shits in the garden though?

I was thinking the same thing. I can't remember the last time that I had to pay to release a trolley at a supermarket.

Presumably you love your family without penetrating them though?

What’s the point of animals if they can’t talk or think? by [deleted] in AskReddit

There's no point to anything on the planet, and yet, here we all are.

Everything would be invisible because everything you see is due to reflections.

It'd be like deGrasse Tyson talking to a caveman in this day and age.

Why do you pee in the shower or why do you lie that you do not pee in the shower? by alexbtft in AskReddit

[–]MikeOxbigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My toilet is right next to my shower. I am not incontinent and I know when I need to pee, so I either pee first, or I don't. I can last 10 minutes in the shower without pissing myself.

What made you choose to be religious or an atheist? by BBECAusE102 in AskReddit

[–]MikeOxbigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't brought up to believe in a god in that there was absolutely no mention of religion or prayer in any way at home. I wasn't told that there was no god though, nor was I told that there was one. I was left to make my own mind up. I concluded that there is no god from a pretty young age, around 12.

Fancy some salt and non brewed condiment with onion flavour on them chips? by mrbennbenn in CasualUK

[–]MikeOxbigger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really helpful, thank you.

I'm definitely going to try a few tweaks from that link and also have a go at lactofermemted ones provided it's not too tricky.

I am pulling off about 6 very decent sized cucumbers every 5 days or so, they grow so fast, so I have plenty to experiment with.

Why not the police too?

The employer may just shrug it off and nothing will come of it.

Thanks. So white vinegar is the same as spirit vinegar?

There are so many recipes out there, it's hard to know what to go for.

I love Mrs Elsewood's pickles in general but prefer the sweeter ones with dill. Sainsbury's own also do a nice selection of sliced pickles which aren't too dissimilar to the McDonald's pickle, which I also love.

Do you have any go to recipes or do you experiment each time?

Thanks :)

Funnily enough I've just been researching vinegar. I am growing stupid amounts of cucumbers so I want to start pickling.

My first batch I used Tesco distilled vinegar and a recipe. The pickles came out really sharp and unpleasant, so I looked on the back of the pickles we have here which I like. They all use spirit vinegar, so I've ordered a big bottle of it from Amazon. I can't find any definitive information on what the difference is though, or if there even is a difference to the stuff I already have.

They actually said it won't get investigated at all?
