can anyone who plays guitar comment on the above? this is my boyfs. also, we have like 8 amps in our house (only 2 are mine). is this normal? i get its fun to try different sounds, he's constantly buying then selling stuff on ebay cos he just wants to know how they sound.

my philosophy of guitars/accesories tends to be more todd kowalski. i shouldn't have a go at him given my own addiction problems but honestly he makes me sit for ages twiddling things and asking me which sounds best and they all sound the same!!!

Yeah it's totally normal for guitar fanatics. I've so far refused to go down that route, sticking to the purist option of acoustic guitar only. For some perverse reason I like the fact that it is so much more difficult, but I do love the purity of the sound of just an acoustic guitar, by far my favourite musical instrument. One day I might give in and go for the easier option and get an electric, but I must admit I am a bit wary of falling into the whole amps, pedals, effects addiction thing.

A Doberman Pincher I co-owned was so smart, she could read body language without being taught to do it.
She saved me from being robbed of several oz of weed once, she just jumped at the guy barking & spit was flying all over the place, she was on attack & wasn't playing.

The wanna be bad man ran into his car shouting for me to call the dog off, if I didn't keep her on a short lead she would have taken his throat out, turns out the cunt had a knife & when his hand went into his pocket he was gonna rob me. Somehow the dog "knew" & went to bite his face off to protect me, she didn't think about her own doggo safety it was automatic to save me at her own cost.
You tell me of a human who would do that?

That's awesome, I hope our new puppy will be as on the ball as this!
He's a border collie.

Gaaaaah, something something borderline alcohol poisoning

Time for breakfast

Executed a save Mark Marquez would be proud of just now; lost front and rear wheel grip simultaneously after a 90 degree right hand turn, loose scree pitching me into a gravel nap, didn't panic, adjusted the bars and gassed it as soon as I got traction

That all happened in like half a second, 10 years ago in the same situation, I would have totally crashed

That would be far too sensible lol

Tonight I won the local pool tourney and plan on getting the scoot a new front tyre as it's getting a bit bare

Tonight I won the local pool tourney

Good going. Did you win any cash?

I've always enjoyed playing pool, and have played on and off for decades. I've recently entered a local league of 32 players and I look forward to a best of 11 frames match every week.

It's so good to be able to get some match practice in and the satisfying thing is that my match play is visibly and steadily improving week by week.

I've always been able to pot balls and had a fairly good idea how to get the white ball to do what I want it to, but I enjoy the challenge of playing against other players of a good standard. It forces me to raise my own game. The best players in the league are so consistent and their positional play is really good and highly accurate. That's definitely something I need to keep practicing, but I'm getting better at develpoing unpottable balls into pottable positions as I string a few pots together. I love it. There's no doubt that I will be a much better match player at the end of the 32 week first round matches, and it's good to get out of the house and work on my social skills a bit too.

We play Blackball rules, I like them, but still not 100% on the rules for every scenario, but am getting there.

 

[Jackal]

Yeah, I like pool. Didn't play for almost 10 years and bet three mates that I'd beat them all with no practice

Beat two of the three, and enjoy playing a few nights of the week now since

Inconsistency is my weakness, but really it's due to a defective attention span; I may 7 ball the best player in town and then lose to the worst player next game

Nice 5 ball runout to win today though, felt good

They don't read body language, they can smell fear and anger and if that person makes eye contact they will go for them.

Dogs Can Sense Bad People, So If They Don't Like Someone, Say Goodbye!

You know all those times your doggo didn’t get along with someone you were friends with?

My previous malinois would growl at the corrupt cunt of a beat copper..nuff said...that dog was brilliant with 30 screaming excited kids around them he wouldn't bat an eyelid yet if if that cunt of a beat copper moved one foot forward he would rip him to shreds.

 

[Zopiclone bandit]

We talking the same dog here @Arnold as in the breed?
As if you had an malinois!!!!!!!

What was it like in regard to attitude & being trained?

Depends which one out of the litter you get.

You get one owner type dogs, anything else they will bite including family members. Due to what I need them for I can't use one of them.
You get the other head strong one's gentle smart can be walked by other people etc...no scared of strangers but they will bite at the slightest 'fault'.
Both very high prey drive like you can't tire em out.

Then you have the friend with everybody type. Not good
Low prey drive type etc...

THen you have problem dogs, maltreated somewhere in their lives sometimes to make them more agressive.
Or just food agresssive due to not getting enough.

They are eager to learn so training is easy, if they don't want to learn something because they don't like it you might have to give it up.

I've got a lower prey drive one now, well for the ball that is, anything else that moves he wants to chase instantly, he's only just matured as he's a year and a half.
I'm not training him with anything right now I want him to become a bit more wild and confident, tail always low on the leash.
Seems to work a bit.
He escaped his kennel the other week and decided to attack the mailman's van in the morning...

They seem great dogs, I found this the other day & I've never seen a dog who knows so many words & can walk backwards too!!!!!

On another video he says the same as you about the ball, his dog is totally obsessed with the ball & rolls over, plays dead, walks on it's back legs etc ALL for a ball, it seems a good trade off in my view. You get a dog that can do amazing tricks like walk in reverse & will do everything you say right away just so you can throw it a ball.

Where do I sign up for one?...........

Jesus wept did anyone else see that new TV show called Peckham's Finest on ITV2 the other day?
That part of London looks such a dump, the people did my head in & anyone who is running a community event then says over the mic "If you don't know this dance you aint from Peckham" well what I saw of te place I'd be bloody PROUD I'm not from there.

Haven't and wouldn't watch it but I know Peckham so you made me look the programme up.

a BMX coach, Radio DJ, fashion boutique owner, dance teacher and choreographer, body positive coach and influencer, drag performer, barista, street food chefs, a DJ and promoter and a salon owner.

Screams wank doesn't it?

They are described as 'aspirational' people, which also screams wank.

And all this totally represents what Peckham has become. Don't get me wrong, it always was a shithole, but for different reasons. Situated in the gap between Brixton and NotLondon it was a poor (poverty) area with nothing in it. Now it's been gentrified but instead of giving something to the poor people who live there, it's just priced them out with the usual skinny latte bollocks and ridiculous rents.

And a shite TV show.

That is youtube.
I've said it before they are not for everybody.

They are very smart pack animals and they will sniff out the slightest trace of weakness.
They are always fighting/attempting to be pack leader.
If you are weak, do not know how to handle him and correct him within the shortest amount of time he will do as he pleases in the house.
He will take you walkies and will be king of the house.

If you're mentally weak the dog can attack anything that comes close to you or if you're scared a lot the dog will instinctively take over.

Do NOT put a dog through that, it wouldn't be the first time that a malinois would have to be put down because of an incompetent moron owner.

Some people suggest them as therapy dogs, I strongly disagree due to the above. People will get hurt and the dog will be put down.
In France a Malinois is a weapon in law aka your dog bites someone you will be charged accordingly with using a weapon.
