I`m with your old man 100% there, Dev. If you provoke an animal that has sharp teeth and claws, you`re going to bitten and scratched. Simple as that. I`ve lost count of how many times I`ve been scratched whilst playing with one of ours. My own fault entirely: I never blamed the cat for a second.
We`ve had exactly the same problem many, many times with abandoned rodents wandering around the house. Fortunately, though, none of ours have ever been any good at catching birds - for which I`m eternally grateful.
I was in Bradley and I would definitely have been tempted to throw a match just to piss him off. In fact I`d have been prepared to do far, far worse.
I have to say that Archie Moore was second on my list of objects of hate amongst the staff - and no, I`m not a Forest supporter; my sons are, but I`m not. In the 7 years I spent there he was the only one who ever put me in detention. Even Alf couldn`t manage that, although I`m sure he would have liked to. To make matters worse, it was for something so pathetically petty that even at this distance in time it makes my blood boil and if we ever meet (assuming he`s still above ground) I`ll be quite happy to say so to his face. And he was only there because Bob Young - now he WAS a decent bloke - was ill or had been called away or summat. Sorry, Dev, but I can only speak as I find - or found, in this case.
