Makes me so mad when people walk dogs off lead. Don't care how well behaved your dog is only needs to be spooked once and that could be it.

Equally if you can't control them. Mrs Wisdom is scared of dogs after one bit her and had to be put down, so having three black labs hurtle up to her growling at each other was not a good experience!
Owner of them couldn't understand why I shouted very loudly at both dogs and her; 'they don't bite'. Well, you might know that, I might guess that (but wasn't so sure as they approached at speed!) but Mrs Wisdom certainly didn't know that!
To be clear, don't mind dogs off leads if they obey orders(!) There's a very chilled little terrier we meet quite often on walks that comes and has a sniff, then trots back off to its owner on a quiet call. But get them to that stage before you let them off leads around other people!
So, my dogs getting old and cranky now (bit like his owner) and doesn't really get on with other dogs, so he is always on his lead, so it riles me when other dog owners get upset when their dog is off their lead and runs over and invades my dogs space, they are swiftly sent away

Fucking Telegraph and their shitty headlines.
One yesterday something like “amazing message sent to Coventry academy players in the World Cup” and it was a list of posts from the CT Facebook page!
One on there now “Robins puts valuation on Coventry City star” about Vik. What’s the “valuation”? “Priceless”
Why do I still click on them?

Ticketmaster.
Bought one ticket to see The Brian Jonestown Massacre next year. Standing ticket is £22.50. not bad, right?
Wrong! There is a £2.80 service charge and a £2.75 handling fee. All of this and I don't even get a physical ticket! I have to download the O2 Academy app and use an e-ticket.
The best part of it is, if I wanted a souvenir ticket it will be posted to me for an extra £2.50. I'm not even sure if they do this before the actual gig!
So yeah, for my e-ticket thingy I paid £28.05. The absolute cheek of it!

My mate used to keep his dog on a lead, as it was quite fond of biting people. So many times people walked up and, whilst trying to pet the dog, asked does he …. Ouch the nasty bugger.
He just said they should ask before putting their hands towards its face.
I think the dog had bitten 11 people in this way….

Mentioned this a few times on here, but I highly recommend getting the Headspace App and starting the Basics course and following it through. Well worth the £50 for the year.
My dad used to suffer with panic attacks and anxiety regularly and it’s helped him. I’ve been using it for a couple of years.

Although the people should have asked before trying to pet the dog if it had really bitten 11 people then it should have been muzzled when out on a walk.

Well, the dog was fine when younger, but it got old and part blind, so when something strange got near it’s face, it reacted. He lives in the countryside, and walked it in not well used places. It was always other dog users, who really should have known better.
he’s a Manc, and I think the Gallagher brothers styled themselves on him
so basically, it’s their own f***ing fault they got bit

Big fan of this. Took me three or four attempts before I got into it, but do it now for ten minutes when I need to refocus as well as every morning and it’s great. Very good for spiralling thoughts.

It’s been a game changer for me over time. Less coming on here pissed up being a bellend as well.
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is worth a read (I listened to the audiobook) as well. Get’s semi religious, or maybe spiritual, not sure of the difference to be honest, at times but if you can get past that it’s good.

Drop caffeine and sugar as well if you can, helps keep you level instead of high and low and helps with sleep which is huge.
Basically just be a perfect human being already!
