People who talk all the way through concerts!!! Just had 3 guys talk all the way through the Dan Patlansky concert at The Globe. Arrggghhhh!!!!!

Ironically Dan released an album years ago called 'Dear Silence Thieves'. It was dedicated to a South African folk singer who walked off stage as two people in the crowd wouldn't stop talking. He referred to them as the 'Silence Thieves'. Anyway, these blabbermouths should all be tortured and shot.

I'm a six footer but every ruddy time I go to a gig there's always at least one person who's six foot fifteen sitting right in front of me.

Ditto! Got one next door, my neighbour is a lovely old girl but her dog is a complete pita yapper. Unfortunately if the dog is a pain I lay the blame on the owner... I've had dogs in the past and they were always well behaved.
Same here. I've had several dogs from day one but never the yappy type.

Our first one a mongrel used to growl at any delivery driver, except 'Bluenose' our baker.

The second was a labrador/alsatian cross. Rarely barked but used to pin people to the wall. She almost killed my dad: on this one occasion when we took her over the park we decided to take a tennis ball and racquet. I whacked the ball in one direction so the dog chased after it, I ran in one direction, my dad in the other direction. Once woofer saw us running, she chased my dad and didn't stop and ran straight through his legs. My dad went airborne. He spent a week in bed with a badly bruised back.

Memories from a couple of our doggies.

🤣 Had a few Labs over the years and they've taken me out many times in exactly the same way as you describe... they obviously have very poor brakes... got the pads but no discs 🙂
 
I think it's a 'little dog' thing. Recall a documentary about wild dogs, and the juvenile and smaller ones served their pack purpose by acting more as sentries - so being a noisy so-and-so was useful. Doesn't really apply in the domestic scenario...
If you are worried about crime at home, the idea is to have 2 dogs, a big one and a small one. The small one sounds the alarm, the big one scares off the burglar.

We have a small dog and a big cat, not sure if it will be as effective...
