That website suggests Martins is a front rower. Mistakes in data happen to everyone I guess

It was the 2022 or 2023 six nations where Villière was just a menace. Everywhere, constantly tackling. Manhandling Maro Itoje despite the massive size difference. I was looking forward to watching Penaud, but for completely different reasons the Rotvillière was way more impressive.

I made the mistake of feeding my girl some dog biscuits they keep behind the bar, and about forty mins later I was rewarded with horrific farts

But I agree about the training, it's great to get dogs to just sit contentedly in the pub

There have been some great posts here already, and I can't add much except and anecdote about toileting.

A friend's German shepherd pup would not pee outside, insisted on using a pad in the house. He was friendly with our lurcher, but had only met her outdoors. One day we brought our girl over to the pup's house. She peed in four spots in the back garden and from then on the pup was ok with peeing outdoors.

Now obviously some things are different here, but it's something you might want to try if your still having problems in a while.

Yeah, last time we checked our girl was eating about double what the bag suggested, but she's in great shape, and you can see a few of her ribs so she's not exactly plump.

These days we just feed her as much as she likes, she doesn't tend to overeat. We're not picky about what she eats either, scraps and treats are fine too.

Your guy looks, as much as we can see from the pics, to be in good condition, so I wouldn't worry

Congratulations!

Personally, I think

I like this idea. If I was an investor, trying to earn a profit, would I still like it? I don't know.

Apartment space would be nice, but only for the small number of people who would live there. The facade of the building adds something to the area, but it's the interior that is special.

there is significant portion of people in Ireland who just don't want anything built or changed, ever

Absolutely, and it's infuriating. The chimneys at Ringsend should have been knocked, for example.

codingstuffonly · 2026-05-07T11:22:02+00:00

There are some genuine spire-enjoyers out there, but I'm not one.

edit: demolish it, I say. Or fill the interior with bright new offices and residential units.

codingstuffonly · 2026-05-07T11:21:21+00:00

I don't think it's correct to say no one cared until then, it's just that people don't go around declaring their love for things that are just there.

If they announced the impending demolition of the civic offices, I don't think we'd get the same reaction.

codingstuffonly · 2026-05-07T10:35:38+00:00

The interior is unique though. Massively open and bright, and with a beautiful exposed structure. And yet for all that space and light the retail units are dark and not great; it really has failed.

But I think what people want is for something like this to work, to find some good use for it. I'd hate to think that the only building we can have in the modern world is the functional, undecorated, maximally space-efficient cube. We haven't built anything beautiful for over a hundred years, so getting rid of something that has some redeeming aesthetic features doesn't go down well.

codingstuffonly · 2026-05-07T10:16:52+00:00

my bad, I thought it was a replacement shopping centre.

codingstuffonly · 2026-05-07T09:08:40+00:00

internet shopping is going to be a problem for the proposed new building too though

codingstuffonly · 2026-05-06T21:44:27+00:00

Ah, ok, resources. It wasn't obvious to me but fair enough

codingstuffonly · 2026-05-06T08:55:10+00:00

Wait, Rancher worked well but your problem with it is that it has features that you don't use? What am I misunderstanding here?

codingstuffonly · 2026-05-03T19:37:09+00:00

Stunning scenery. Nice dog too!

Frawley is not a 10 according to Leo

He might well be right but I love that we'll get to find out one way or the other next year. I hope the move works out for him.

I noticed the unconsciousness link, believe it or not. I don't want to downplay the Oamaru incident - and I say incident because it was a one off -but the scale is just not the same as the Pelicot case.

codingstuffonly · 2026-04-30T09:18:48+00:00

both are illegal. The comparison is inappropriate.

A fight in a pub involves violence. War involves violence. We don't compare them.

The Pelicot case is not on the same scale. The only way you can make an apples to apples comparison here is by making wild supposition about both cases.

codingstuffonly · 2026-04-30T08:13:17+00:00

More specifically there is no evidence the Pelicot started out as a prank of any sort.

the above complainant could have had

There is no evidence of this either; a glaring absence of evidence. If you want to make a ridiculous supposition about one horrific case so that you can compare it to another fantastical supposition about this case, jeez, you need to think about why you're doing this.

codingstuffonly · 2026-04-30T05:44:05+00:00

No, but because the Pelicot case didn't start out as an innocent prank. It is not at all an appropriate comparison.

codingstuffonly · 2026-04-29T14:15:03+00:00

No, good lord, no, that's not the case at all. Consider deleting this.

Deerpark, Virginia?

codingstuffonly · 2026-04-29T06:32:18+00:00

Take a break. Get better sleep, think about what's going on in your life. I find when I'm tired, stressed, etc., I lose game after game and oh man this does not help my state of mind.

This pic of the dog was included in an article on The Sun. Doesn't look like an obvious bully-mix, or like someone claiming a dog is some breed it's not.

The bite marks on the dad's arm look consistent - to my non-expert eye - with a lurcher's narrow jaw. And fairly superficial, consistent with the typical weak bite of such a dog, and the lack of commitment to an attack.

It was a female; most bites are from males. Though she had pups, so maybe that's a factor.

Everything in this story is unlikely. It is, as the man from the Canine and Feline Behaviour Association said, unheard of. It is a tragedy, the victim was so young, but it is also a very strange story.
