The reference to sheep was mine. Robbie melded mine and his posts together for some reason - no idea why??!!
And I didn't say everyone was a sheep..... I felt the interference of my post was clear. It may help to read my actual post? Less confusing maybe? Except for the piggin' typos, of course!!
With regard to "cliques", if I understand the term correctly....
There will always be people who connect/relate/form attachments to some more than others and, therefore, will inter-act more regularly with those they do, just as in RL. I don't see anything untoward in that, its a part of life and personalities.
What does puzzle me though is that, it would appear that when one member of a particular group has a liking or disliking for something/someone, the others seem to lose all independence of thought, for some reason!
This denotes, of course, that there is a dominant personality amongst them and all the others (i.e. the weaker personalities) follow like sheep......
It ends up looking rather juvenile and the fact that its not recognised by those who participate just shows a certain level of mental agility, surely?
Anyway, probably has something to do with my vote. I mean, if I wanted to inter-act to any great degree with children as opposed to children, I would've been a nanny, wouldn't I?!
Well, there is a simply divine little place not far from me. Has the most wonderful ambiance, the food is amazing and a fab selection of great wines......
Otherwise:
La Crabbe Fantom in Brussels (Duck and Chateau de la Salle) The Episkopi Tavern, Cyprus (Pork Escalope in Roquefort Sauce and a Palomino) The Bunch of Grapes, Cyprus (Brandy Sours) Silvio's, Vancouver (Dover Sole in Hollandaise Sauce, Crepe Suzette) Caffe Latino, Sorrento (Risotto Marinara and a cold Trebbiano)
OMG!!!!! I can't believe you keep your puppy in a crate!! The poor thing is clearly unhappy.....
Despite having to go out to work, I don't believe this should necessarily exempt one from having a dog... it CAN be worked around.
But in the formative weeks, intensive training is necessary. I have successfully trained many dogs within a max of two weeks, to include waiting for food, sit, stay, beg, paw-giving, leash behaviour, house-training and the like but it does need concentrated involvement.
Medical Howlers..... Hilarious!
So your washing survives for a wee bit longer, eh?!We had snow this morning..... roll on spring!!!!
You should come to Rome, Conrad.... you're not THAT far away!!
