The dog was dead before it was placed in the bin. According to the vet that examined it, it had signs of struggle with another large animal. But what a creepy thing to do. Almost looks like a mafia style warning, doesn't it?

Of course, these days, it could be considered art, as strange as that is.
I am so pleased that the dog had not been left to die like that.

Malawi to consider a public farting ban. Good job it's not being considered in the UK... Mind you, cops would have difficulty proving it - the evidence will have disappeared into thin air!

Mind you, I wouldn't mind making spitting on the street a punishable offence...that's just disgusting and ill-mannered.

As my grandmother used to say, there's more room on the outside than there is on the inside! I'm with you on the spitting.

We have a hostage "situation" on our hands. I heard that they cut a finger off and sent it to Jim Skinner at MDHQ.

I'm kind of rooting for them.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for posting that A Cousin, made me laugh. Definitely on the side of the 'kidnappers', but I bet someone will take it too seriously.

Not weird, and clearly not wonderful: think of it more as a test of your faith in human nature...

Essentially, people were asked: Would you be happier being a biggot if you thought you looked less like a biggot? And 48% of those asked said: Yes

Interesting report binkie, although it seemed that a lot of ideas were 'lumped' together.
I'd support the flying of union flags from public buildings - there isn't enough flag-flying in this country!!
