Subject: RE: BS: Queen sisters dog bit someone in Lundon From: The Walrus Date: 29 Sep 02 - 05:30 AM Re: Anne It's not the first time she's been nicked. I seem to remember she was done for a motoring offence in the 70s (just speeding, but it sets a precedent), IIRC she was fined, paid up (presumably had her licence endorsed) and that was that, I suspect that it was all done by post (I doubt that she appeard in the dock).

Subject: RE: BS: Queen sisters dog bit someone in Lundon From: Leadfingers Date: 29 Sep 02 - 12:27 PM Apparently the Priness Royal (I know the tune and the song) has four Staffordhire Bull Terriers,what are obviusly not dragged up right.Properly raised Staffs are good as gold if treated right. |
Subject: RE: BS: Queen sisters dog bit someone in Lundon From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 29 Sep 02 - 12:37 PM And this was the story taking up the entire front page of one of the main English newspapers today! What a sense of news values...
(Mind, I think that might have been a ploy to keep John Major's Currie disaster off the front page, because it was a paper of that political complexion. (Blue, but currently scarlet with embarassment.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Queen sisters dog bit someone in Lundon From: Gervase Date: 30 Sep 02 - 04:23 AM Sure is dumbing down. In my day the nostrum was 'dog bites man, that's not news - man bites dog; that's news'. |
Subject: Lyr Add: ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF A MAD DOG From: Dave Bryant Date: 30 Sep 02 - 10:37 AM Good people all, of every sort, Give ear unto my song; And if you find it wondrous short, It cannot hold you long. In Islington there was a man, Of whom the world might say That still a godly race he ran, Whene'er he went to pray. A kind and gentle heart he had, To comfort friends and foes; The naked every day he clad, When he put on his clothes. And in that town a dog was found, As many dogs there be, Both mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound, And curs of low degree. This dog and man at first were friends; But when a pique began, The dog, to gain some private ends, Went mad and bit the man. Around from all the neighbouring streets The wondering neighbours ran, And swore the dog had lost his wits, To bite so good a man. The wound it seemed both sore and sad To every Christian eye; And while they swore the dog was mad, They swore the man would die. But soon a wonder came to light, That showed the rogues they lied: The man recovered of the bite, The dog it was that died. AN ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF A MAD DOG – Oliver Goldsmith

Subject: RE: BS: Queen sisters dog bit someone in Lundon From: Cobble Date: 30 Sep 02 - 05:32 PM The dog in question is an English Bull Terrier, not a Saffordshire Terrier nor a Pit Bull Terrier as reported in several Sunday papers. I think people who own English Bull Terriers will care, because their dogs could end up on the dangerous dog register and the breed will have to be muzzeled ! English Bull Terriers are a very pleasant terrier breed. No, I don't own one, mine are Skye Terriers . Mrs C |
Subject: Lyr Add: THE PIT BULL SONG From: Murray MacLeod Date: 30 Sep 02 - 08:07 PM I suppose this might be as good a place as any to post a song I wrote some years ago at the height of the pit-bull scare in Britain. Any Mudcatters in Sussex/ Kent who know John Joseph may have heard him singing this song. My ambition is to get it into the Copper Family Song book ...(just joking) The tune I conceived it to originally is "When First I came to Caledonia". "The Bleacher Lass o' Kelvinhaugh" also works well. The Pit Bull Song As I roved out one bright May morning To take the air out on the lea 'Twas there I met with a pit-bull terrier And he a fancy did take to me. He wagged his tail as he sniffed my ankle He rolled his eyes as he jumped with glee And when I bent down to stroke this terrier He sank his teeth deep into my knee. Says I "My fair young pit-bull terrier Your teeth are causing me great pain" But the more I pleaded the more he clenched them All my entreaties they were in vain. Then I recalled what a vet once told me If such misfortune should come to pass The only way to dislodge a terrier Is to stick your finger right up his (long pause for effect) nose. So I completed this operation The terrier's eyes, they began to glow He opened his jaw, as he moaned in ecstasy And with one bound I was free to go. But now, this dog he sits on my doorstep He camps there nights and he camps there days He follows closely where'er I wander And stares at me with beseeching gaze So come ye all, ye pit-bull owners Come and this warning take by me Though you call your dog Rambo, Spike or Killer Yet "Nancy" he may turn out to be.

Subject: RE: BS: Queen sisters dog bit someone in Lundon From: Steve Parkes Date: 21 Nov 02 - 04:24 AM All I can say is they ought to give the dog a medal! These bloody kids are a nuisance--running up and down the street, shouting and swearing, throwing eggs at cars and houses, p*ssing through old ladies' letter-boxes. They should put the kid in court for aggravating the poor dog. I blame the parents! Steve |
Subject: RE: BS: Queen sisters dog bit someone in Lundon From: Mrs.Duck Date: 21 Nov 02 - 09:39 AM £500 fine plus £250 compensation. Not a dangerous dog at all just a very unfortunate incident out of character for the dog. The way the media were going on this morning I thought she was being charged with treason at the very least!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Queen sisters dog bit someone in Lundon From: Steve Parkes Date: 21 Nov 02 - 10:19 AM She'd make a very good queen: she hardly goes anywhere worth a look, and she keeps her head down. Not like some of 'em ... |
Subject: RE: BS: Queen sisters dog bit someone in Lundon From: smallpiper Date: 21 Nov 02 - 06:36 PM Any one else's dog wot dun the same would have bin destroyed - that ain't bloody justice like she was fined an amount that would make a difference to her - if it was a comon commoner like wot the rest of us are the dog would have been destroyed and we would have been find the same amount i.e. 1 months sallary ( clearly not one months salary for people who earn the average wage but who the hell earns that!) she should have been find an amount that would have hurt her! (not that I am anti royalist - I just think there is one law for the rich and injustice for the rest of us)! |
