Just in case you were wondering I weighed 11st. 11lbs. when I got home from golf today.

First time I've dipped below 12st. this year.

Well I'm guessing you did dip to 11st 13 lbs at some point prior this year...

Without taking my bathroom scales with me on the golf course it would be hard to pinpoint the exact moment.

I reckon it was probably my tee-shot to the short 13th that did it...

Not necessarily. Ralph may have taken a 3lb dump in the bunker at the 12th.

Ralph eats like a budgie. It would take him 6 month to bake a 3lb landmine.

I'm loving the direction this thread has taken...

I'm playing this on Day 1e, Friday.

I have no plans for the Saturday & Sunday........

Playing Wednesday or Thursday I think.

LL if we both make day 2 or do you want to go by levels?

Morning Matt, only just seeen this, sorry.

Either is good by me, as I am nailed on to win the LL, so let's do "Day 1 Levels", if both still in on Saturday, juat revert to normal L-L.

If you are agreeable, shall we donate the L-L winnings to Poker for Heroes?

Day 1 levels is good for me.

Donate your winnings to whoever you like pal. Mine will be going behind the bar.

You have a deal, Lord Russell.

Went out at 300/600 + 50 level whichever one that is. 7 I think. Good luck on Friday.

Thanks Matt. I exited on the very last hand of the day, end of Level 10.

The Pension Fund top up will be most gratefully received.

My next visit to DTD will be Sunday next week, for Poker for Heroes, maybe catch up then.

I'd like to meet your Dog, too. No, I mean, really.

Yes I saw it on the updates. Unlucky.

I'm hoping to be there next Sunday so we'll sort it then.

Hmmmmm....... Ronnie........

Well it's possible to meet him but I have to handle introductions carefully. He's a bit of a feisty fella at times and doesn't always take kindly to strangers.

The easiest way is if we're out walking and you just tag along and join our walk. After 5 minutes when he knows you're ok he'll be fine.

If you came round here and just walked up to him and offered your hand for a sniff he'd have it for lunch.

Trying to phrase this so as not to upset you Matt, I know that peeps are funny when it comes to their pets.

Having said that, I know that you know that I'm not having a dig, so I'll just dive right in....


Ronnie dictates the terms for meeting people?

No it's not like that at all Tom.

Unfortunately for whatever reason it is Ronnie sometimes dislikes or doesn't trust some people and has been known to snap.

95% of the time he's fine.

With a rottweiler you just can't take the risk even for that 5%.

If he bites somebody then he's a dead dog simple as that. I control his introductions very carefully or don't introduce him at all.

I could introduce him to loads of people but ultimately there's always a chance that he may snap and bite and I'm just not prepared to take the risk.

I've learnt how to introduce him to people and it's simply for them to ignore him and join us for a walk.

He isn't dictating the introduction. I'm dictating what the people do who are introduced to him if that makes sense?

Yes. That seems eminently sensible.

Responsible attitude from Matt. Irresponsible owners are the cause of most dog bites right? Better to be cautious when dealing with animals.

I used to employ this guy called Terry who claimed to have a way with dogs, speak their language etc. He owned about a dozen different dogs of all shapes and sizes, all strays he'd taken in from time to time. Looked like a right nutcase walking them down the street. But he didn't care because he lived for dogs and shared an "understanding" with them. Talked about nothing but dogs. Anyway, one day I'm at work in the gym and this dog just shoots into the club and starts running around. The dog's going crazy, barking, running on treadmills and darting about freaking all the members out. It's a chaotic scene and although all the staff try and get the dog out it's just impossible. I'm at my wits end and don't know what to do next when in walks Terry the mfckin dog-whisperer. My saviour. This guy springs into action and takes control of the situation in impressive fashion. He locks eyes with the dog and the dog stops dead. Terry moves towards dog in hypnotic way like Crocodile Dundee did with buffalo. Terry very quietly and very gently cradles dog in his arms and picks it up and starts carrying it towards the exit feeling very satisfied with himself and his wildlife skills. After about four paces that dog flipped out crazy and savaged the living daylights out of one Terry's arm. All you could hear was the dog snarling and Terry screaming like a banshee with blood everywhere. Never seen anything like it. After that animals are animals imo. Terry was ok after hospital but more relaxed about his relationship with dogs. Dog-whisperer my arse.

we had a  staffordshire bull terrier from a pup we had it for about a year when Alison got pregnant with our first up until that point it was the friendliest dog you could imagine,
Alison was walking the dog when an old lady says what a lovely dog can i stroke it "yes of course"
OMG the dog went for her we could not believe it!!
we kept the dog but had to be so carfull it used to lie next to pram and anyone came near it would growl
the vet recons it was just protecting its family !
