    Thanks for those Links John, most interesting stuff.

    Bary Bary Bary - what can we say

    I knew some shopping centres play classical stuff to stop loitering younger people. Bary is a new one I had never thought of.




    Authorities in New Zealand have been playing Barry Manilow's greatest hits in an attempt to dislodge protesters camped outside the parliament building.



    Songs by the US singer are being played on a 15-minute loop, along with the Spanish dance tune, Macarena.


    The demonstrators, who are angry at Covid-19 vaccine mandates, responded by playing songs such as Twisted Sister's We're Not Gonna Take It.


    The protests began on Tuesday when a convoy of vehicles drove to parliament."

    I am playing it now to see how the family reacts



    PS- Wife Demanded I turn it off

    I think he turned on the Lawn Sprinklesr & that didn't shift their lazy arses.


    Bob Dylan Xmas special on a loop & loud would have been my choice of entertainment.



    Yes Yes,I have sat through that & can personally recommend it to clear a house better than a squad from the SAS.

    Oh Deary me.


    I didn't say they were, just their arses, & the result will be seen when thy have moved on & the Council Cleaners move in..
    EDIT.
    Just to explain.
    Where do this bunch think they are going to have a crap etc.? Ask the nice bloke at the door if they can use the inside Dunny after making a ****ing pest of them selves?


    Will they be taking Port-A -Loos & necessary arsewipe? Will they be ****ting in any available shrubbery? Will they be cleansing the area post protest?


    I rest my case M'lud.

    World is going to the dogs

    Years ago I did cough up almost $1000 for a dog. Heard of plenty of people saying 5K or a bit more is the price for some for some mutts now. Our new mutt came from a relative who was more reasonable in so many ways. 27k pounds is about $AUD51,283.88

    Sheepdogs: Why are some UK dogs selling for £27,000 or more?




    The humble sheepdog has been an integral part of British farm life for centuries, but never before have they commanded so much respect - or money.
    The past two years has seen unprecedented prices recorded for specially bred and trained dogs at agricultural marts.
    Many of the top dogs are now coming from Wales, including a border collie called Kim from Ceredigion, which sold for a world record £27,000 last February.
    Sheep farmer and dog-handler Emrys Jones, from Barmouth in Gwynedd, said he regularly fields calls from across the world asking about his dogs, with 40 going abroad to places such as South Korea, Japan, Australia, Norway and the USA at a recent sale.
    "The old boys wouldn't believe what's happening nowadays," he said.
    Michael Priestley of Farmers Weekly said: "Better dogs cost more but better dogs make the job of gathering in sheep much quicker and they minimise labour cost.
    "It's an investment that can pay off."
