Park and loop with a difference.

Rename it Park, Lock and Load

dunno why they just don't issue us with dobermans,they can be fitted with panniers,therefore doubling the mail we can carry & protecting us from other dogs & the feckwits who wanna "have a go " cos their giro is late,you trod on a blade of grass etc

Dodgy, you can have too much of a good thing

He aint Dodgy, he's Disgruntled. (Though he might be dodgy too).

Did you not see his post today in the keep your spirits up thread? Read it and tell me he's not dodgy! Anyway, DG is too close phonetically to be a coincidence

I would advise anyone against using any of these sprays or devices.
As well as giving you a false sense of security they will more likely p!ss the dog off even more.
Now if they were to issue a .44 Magnum.........

I've been advocating the standard issue of Webley .38 revolvers for ages ( a .44 Mag might be too powerful, especially for the ladies in the profession ) but ex-MOW / MOD revolvers, would be supporting British industry, would be recycling an discarded product, and would be simple and reliable to operate.....and for the ladies & gents of "greater experience" ( aka, the ol' bastids, with coke bottle bottoms for spectacle lenses ) why not issue a 12G semi automatic shotgun, with the barrel cut to 24" ( legal limit IIRC ).....with 21gram cartridges that's stop any furry sharks from biting ( and in the case of a misfire, you could still butt strike the mutt ). Obviously the increased weight would mean a reduction in bag weight from 16kg max to maybe 8kg max, which would mean more time spent on replenishment, less time delivering ( which could mean smaller rounds / more cut-offs )

I'm not obsessed with getting hold of a shooter in work btw

I'd prefer the Walther PPK..................that way I can do the James Bond finishing move

The names' Disgruntled.................Disgruntled Postie (insert theme tune here)

what to deal with Chavs / Pikeys or Dogs or both ?
