Random Irritations

Well it's not a recent problem, we kinda have to go back many years to the French and British troops and settlers to find the people who disowned them and started the problem, albeit made worse in recent years by newer idiots
You in the UK?
 
Yes but this is a human-made problem so just abandoning them to a horrific death seems wrong.

Amanda, much as I love dogs as we know them in the UK, this is a different ball game
If I understand it right, this is in Mauritius, and these dog packs have been wild for some years?
What with the likes of rabies etc abroad, as opposed to our non problem with it, I wouldn’t be treating these dogs as I would those here in UK. I’d be wary, and if threatening people etc, then that needs to be dealt with.

I'd agree but still think it is the responsibility of the humans to deal with it humanely. Allowing them to starve to death is awful plus the likelihood is they'll come to where they can find food and make the situation worse.
 
If people didn't feed them they would probably survive in the wild (I must admit I don't know much about Mauritius).

It's a bit like some of my neighbours feeding foxes (with premium quality food I might add :rolleyes:). They are a massive problem now. If they weren't fed then they wouldn't come so much into suburbia breeding like rabbits. Instead they would tend to live and survive in their natural habitat and their population would be self regulating.

This is more than a random irritation for me. The racket they makes a whole night's sleep impossible, they ransack the waste food bins, they :poop: everywhere and the damage they do to the cars is beyond ridiculous; it cost me over £600 to get the brakes on my Subaru redone.
 
Two massive Christmas irritations from me.

1. No Christmas songs, decorations, advertisements - nothing until December 1st.
2. There is no such thing as "the perfect gift" as all the ads keep telling us. It depends on the person giving and the person receiving. I mean, getting a free colonoscopy voucher might be the perfect gift for someone in life.

And another golf one.

GOLF IS NOT A VERB!!!!

You do not go golfing, you did not golf yesterday. You play golf. You will play golf. You played golf.
Driving with a driver.
Putting with a putter.
Chipping with a chipper.

Let us be consistent.

Wedging with a wedger.
Wooding with a wooder.
Ironing with an ironer.
Hybriding with a hybrider.
