Dave to the Grave 11 Posted July 9, 2008 And staying on the topic of sh*t, why is it that dog owners are generally required to pick up their dog's crap, but horse owners aren't? I live on an estate where horses are regularly ridden on the roads and footpaths, and many is the time I have had to negotiate a huge pile of steaming crap on the path - why shouldn't the riders have to pick it up, the same as dog owners? GET OFF YOUR HORSEY ASSES AND PICK UP THE sh*t! It's just as horrid to step in horse sh*t as dog sh*t when you're wearing your best white trainers. Having stepped in both, while neither is pleasant, I'd always go for the horse sh*t. In a league of sh*t, top being the most unpleasant, horse would probably come in the relegation zone, just above rabbit. Cow would probably qualify for the UEFA cup, just beating off goat. Dog, cat and seagull would battle it out for champion league places, but the winner, champion of them all would have to be human. A fantasy sh*t league, there's a thing. (The seagull sh*t is more of a hair problem than a shoe one, so should perhaps be in a league of it's own, but very unpleasant all the same). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted July 9, 2008 I reckon horse owners tend to assume that a grateful rose gardener will come along shortly bearing a sturdy shovel and will cart the stuff off for their own special purposes. People should train their dogs to sh*t in the woods and in places where it won't bother anyone. It is possible, assuming such places exist in your neck of the woods. I daresay some fascists people would disagree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted July 9, 2008 There is a stables at Philorth which is basically at the other side of the beach from Fraserburgh. When I take the dog over the beach, I also have to contend with horse sh*t. It is alright when they sh*t on the beach, but horseriders also take their horses over the dunes using the narrow walk ways. When the horse sh*ts there, you have no option but to try and leap over it. Either that, or struggle through the long grass. Living in a seaside town, I'm also used to the seagull problem. They say that if a bird sh*ts on you it's goodluck. I say that's untrue because not one person in Fraserburgh has won the lottery yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted July 9, 2008 Dog sh*t is the worlds worst. ( lets say the Brazil of Turds DTTG ) On numerous occasions, while at work, I have stepped, without realising, into a nice steamer, then walked it up my ladder. Naturally, because I was unaware, I have walked back down, hands on rungs and into it all. It has certainly cured me of biting my fingernails. I, personally, would hang Dog owners who allowed their mutts to shite all over the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave to the Grave 11 Posted July 10, 2008 Dog sh*t is the worlds worst. ( lets say the Brazil of Turds DTTG ) I have to disagree LFN. Dog, is more like Germany. Always there, reliable, with the odd flash of brilliance, but if you have ever cracked the crust on a week old human deposit, then you have really experienced Brazil. (I of course, take on board your fingernail comment, but that really is due to the situation, and not the actual performance of the sh*t. More of a cup upset, than pure quality.)

Madame Defarge 21 Posted July 11, 2008 If there were muskrats in the U.K., you would know that texture-wise their sh*t is the worst by a country mile. It's a bit like stepping into a well-lubricated souffle. Do our antipodean members care to share any relevant information about kangaroos, wombats, or dingos and the like?

On the subject of seagull sh*t, I would say the degree of unpleasantness depends on your location. On the Lincs coast near me seagulls are average sized birds whereas whilst visiting Plymouth, I saw what were almost dog sized gulls which I imagine must produce dog sh*t size droppings! Better to be sh*t on in Lincolnshire than Devon I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lady Grendel 139 Posted July 23, 2008 Electricity or more precisely the effect I seem to have on it, I seem to be susceptible to static electricity, it follows me around, I've got used to it over the years, working in offices I learned never to touch metal filing cabinets or safes with my hands as that caused a nasty jolt, always placing my arm against them first to take the shock. In recent years the house I lived in constantly blew out bulbs or the whole electricity supply when I touched plugs or switches, in the case of the electricity supply it simply meant turning back on the main fuse, I put it down to the wiring in the house, but it seems it's followed me. I moved houses a couple of months ago and I turned on a light in the bathroom 5 minutes ago and it blew with a nasty metallic explosion now all the lights in the house are off, although the plugs are working, I don't know where the main fuse box is to turn the lights back on. I wonder if anyone knows what causes this? Before you say 'old wiring', the house I'm in was completely gutted and rewired 6 years ago and nothing like this happened until I moved in and it only happens when I'm around . (Couldn't think where else to post this, but as it's been the bain of my life for a number of years, I put it here). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be a really funny scene, a rider stopping to shovel a load of horse sh*t into, what? A backpack? In my experience, most dog owners only pick up the dog sh*t when someone's looking, and even then they don't bring it home, they just fling the bag into the nearest body of water when no one's looking again. Actually, the real reason that horse owners don't have to pick up horse sh*t is because it's so popular. Just look at how much we've got on this forum.

honez 79 Posted July 24, 2008 I don't know where the main fuse box is to turn the lights back on. I wonder if anyone knows what causes this? It's probably because it's dark. It might be best if you use a torch to find it. Let me know if that helps. To stop future torch-reliance, you might like to consider the composition of your clothing; friction from man-made fibres, tights, what the soles of your shoes are made of, whether the floor is carpeted (especially man-made fibres again) and (not that I'm suggesting this is the case here, LG,) thigh-rubbing and foot-shuffling when walking have a huge potential for static electricity build up and subsequent discharge. You may wish to test this out experimentally by spending a day at home naked, walking around on tip-toes with your legs wide apart. Be sure to let us know how you go.

Dave to the Grave 11 Posted July 24, 2008 I remember some discussion about names in Room 101, and I was tempted to put this in Room Lovely, but calling a child Violence is not right. Perhaps our member from New Zealand has joined in this craze? We have recently had some fantastic guests (in the stumbling around together at wine tastings sense of the word) from New Zealand, who dispite tracing their ancestry to England had chosen to call their sons by, in their words, 'ancient Scottish names'.
