Now if you where closer I could pass on one of my precious bin bags that way you would not have to leave or you could STOP .
We have to cage/crate Dexter when we are not in because he eats anything /everything thankfully not on the same scale as the beast but laptop chargers christmas trees you name it :eek:
Doors no

I lost a drawer full of cables, don't know what they were for because a lot of them were DHes. I had sorted all of them out neatly and put them into the drawer so when I came across something that needed a cable I knew where to look. I now have a box of bits of cable, a bin full of sponge scourers and those blue and while cleaning cloths I bought as fillers in SADA and another box of DH's tools that he had a go at destroying I now have a very empty kitchen and a very full sitting room for this reason.

It is funny when it has already happened to you/me.
I spent a full day just before christmas trying to get the exact christmas tree lights Dex had decided looked tasty, needless to say after probably 100 miles and buying about 6 similair sets none of them where the same.
Following day off for refunds :rotfl:and they still wag their tails at you when you get in skint and tired :rotfl:

I'm just glad it's not just me it happens to! When I get in to find them on the sofa he runs to me wagging his tail with the most stupid look on his face, he knows I'm cross with him but thinks that if he wags his tail so hard that I'll know he's happy and not get angry with him. I can hear his tail whacking on the sitting room door as soon as I open the front one :rotfl:
The big puppy dog eyes also help him in his case, how can I shout at something so cute. He has me shouting and laughing at the same time! I can't and won't ever win.

Oh they work us no doubt about it.
I am sure I am just at our twos beck and call.
After tea Bailey decides its time for a treat so she sits in the middle of the room and slowly raises her nose and then lets out a little bark at that Dexter charges up to me then to the treats and waits there.
If I dont get up they go through it again till I do :rotfl:
Like you it is just too funny not too :cool:

He just thinks that anything in a crinkly pack is something to eat, I think that's why the cloth packs got attacked.
DS can't pour cereal out in the kitchen anymore, the beast jumps up on him to try and get the packet, DS doesn't cope with this well, he's very particular about his personal space and only allows you in there if he wants you there, sudden invasions are a big 'no, no'. The lurcher recognises this most of the time but the beast doesn't care, he just wants the goodies!

Artha......do me a laymans explanation of why I can't call David. a Geordie ........when you have time I don't get it.......Im not one to be insulting folk without a good reason.

goodnight * hopes David is still talking to me *

Was going to do this later but may as well do it now before I forget and while it's quiet. You might need to get a map out. Think of it like a late night Open University Broadcast on regional culture:rotfl::rotfl:

Northumberland, Durham and parts of North Yorkshire/Cumbria are popularly referred to as the North East or "Geordieland" by outsiders. There are many accents and cultures that are recognised as very different to us in the North East but I suppose to outsiders it's one and the same.

Historically the term Geordie does refer loosely to anyone in the region though some would only refer to inhabitants of Newcastle as Geordies. In the former mining areas of Durham and Northumberland many people were called "Geordie" as an alternative form of the name George hence one of the reasons for the whole region being Geordieland (There are others ).

In recent times however the term Geordie has become associated with followers of Newcastle United (Tyneside), with Mackems following Sunderland(Wearside) and Smoggys/Smogmonsters following Middlesbrough (Teesside). With the firece rivalry between these clubs, and therefore the general surrounding areas, calling someone from the Teesside or Sunderland area a Geordie would be considered an insult in football terms. It's all very tongue in cheek though so I don't really think you've upset David. too much as coming from Darlington he clearly will no interest in football whatsoever:rotfl::rotfl: (and that's probably another local joke you won't get)
