No sign of Basil's bollock,Monty has no Bollocks he left them at the vets when he was 6 months old.We hoped it would stop him fighting but it didn;t.I am fortunate in that while monty hates strange dogs he loves people,however I have always kept him in a different room when the kids have friends round,not because I think Monty would hurt them but because I find children not brougt up with big dogs have little respect for the animal and put the dog into situations where the dog will behave irrationaly,I have a feeling this is what happened with blue.I keep my dogs away from strange kids to protect the dog .I haven; taken the dogs up the race course yet part f me doesn;t want to go up there ecause it reminds me of molly the other half doesn;t want to go up there cos its raeally muddy and basils white.I hope I win the lottery tomorrow

I hope you win the lottery too. Because now that you have been posting your conversations with John, I have something to blackmail you with.
you are assuming I would give a shit what john thinks if I won the lottery
My I suggest St Francis Xavier?
"They knew nothing of the part he had played in Portugal's Inquisition, nor did they know he had pleaded with his monarch, Dom Joao, to 'order the establishment of the Inquisition in Goa.'
'Set up as a kind of tribunal, the Inquisition was set in a palace in which these holy terrorists ensconced themselves. It was known locally as Vodlem Gor -- the Big House. It became a symbol of fear. Children were flogged and slowly dismembered in front of their parents, whose eyelids had been sliced off to make sure they missed nothing. Extremities were amputated carefully, so that a person could remain conscious even when all that remained was a torso and head. Male genitals were removed and burned in front of wives, breasts hacked off and vaginas penetrated by swords while husbands were forced to watch."

As a friend of the Jesuits, I have a few comments to make on Ded's suggestion.
First, I found the quotes Ded cited on a site that seems to have been written by a disgruntled Hindu from India talking about all that is and was wrong about the West being in India. (It's at http://www.rediff.com/news/2003/oct/17rajeev.htm)
Second, the quotes on the above site come from Empire of the Sun: Some Journeys in India by Paul William Roberts; the publisher's notes (which I got from Amazon.com) note in part, "at one point, Roberts accompanies a sadistic drug-lord to his hashish-oil operation. Roberts describes in excruciating detail unsanitary washroom facilities, fetid food and extremes of poverty, slums, crippled beggars, child prostitutes." Perhaps he has a penchant for horrifying details from suspect sources.
Third: the Inquisition was not run by the Jesuits. While a Jesuit did request that it be put into place, it was actually put into place 8 years after the death of Francis Xavier (by the Dominicans); and whatever the excesses of the India Inquisition were, it seems a little rough to put them all at St. Francis Xavier's feet. (And just what part would St. Francis Xavier have played in Portugal's Inquisition, since he spent his entire adult life away from Portugal?)
I would suggest rather that Alex pray to St. Roch, who is always depicted in art with a dog licking the running sore on his leg (ick); and for our Ded, I would suggest that he pray to St. Jude, because if Ded honestly thinks that St. Francis Xavier would have condoned the excesses of the India Inquisition, then our Ded has become a Lost Cause.
I have no idea whether Francis Xavier began the Inquisition, beat his clubbed footed mother or fathered 16 illegitimate Sudanese warthogs. I don't know if he was a good man or a bad man. If Alex wants to pray to a dog-licking, running sored St Roch, then I am all for it, though I think Bert would be an excellant and equal substitute. I just liked the part where the children were flogged and hacked to pieces in front of their wide eyed parents. My kids are always getting away with so much!

Oh yes, I forgot you have no conscience.
