We've had boxers for decades, there is a long list of them, Tank is the exception to the rule because we are getting older, but at 1/3 the size & 2/3 the weight (he's a good, sturdy well muscled 17.5kg+ and 1.5 inches? taller than the norm) & he was raised by wolves Boxers, so he's a little loon.

As an aside, I really cannot recommend French bulldogs, neediest most neurotic animals going, if you don't work from home & cannot travel with your dog, do not get a frenchie, they need company.

:twisted: LADS, this is a wind farm going up near TURNBERRY golf course, owned by "the orange buffoon" via massive loans from dodgy sources,

Why isn't this advertised as a positive to SELL watts!? ..I feel like we've just got a bonus ball double whammy!

Kick that orange arse into the long grass, Trump HATES wind turbines, ...aw man I'm happy!

6 .4 miles by the nearest road, close enough for when that twunt flies in! :twisted:

Can someone get in touch with Mark Thomas on twitter (i'm not on there any longer) ..just the sort of micro investment damage potential he appreciates! :lol:

How did we all miss this !? (apparantly it is reported as 3 miles inland)

"The US President has bankrolled a £200million revamp of the Turnberry resort in Ayrshire since buying the famous Open venue in 2014.
The following year, his son Eric spoke out against a plan to build an eight-turbine wind farm at Kirk Hill, about three miles inland from the hotel"

Exactly, that's sparked a furious row here on the fens edge! ..heavily used arguments for the right reasoning for years, but it's like she's lost the plot & there is no reasoning with her!

I somehow doubt that they will either be buying green energy or (if they accidentally did) would advertise it!

He is an ego driven tit of the highest order. Yet to say that one would not wish to share electrons is I feel an elitist statement that hamstrings us all. No personal bashing of any of you intended but the game has to include those at the top table or at least to have their ears and for the forseeable future?
There is very little to nothing clean that passes for energy transfer in our 🌎. Finding the correct lever to accelerate change seems a decent 💡. Exclusion was his game, not our's? (Sorry, I'll get my coat)....
