You've gotta wonder if we have all gone barking mad even going along with it! Polycarp, if all else fails a rolled up newspaper should do the trick (it's the noise), since you cannot get your mobile phone into place to take a photo of the offending dog and its owner, and clearly aren't interested in taking the obviously sensible, or regulatory path to solve your problem.

PS Are Polycarp and Boaz_David one and the same?

*If a dog came to you and jumped up on you.. and started tearing at your clothes and skin in a kind of 'lazy aggression' manner..what would you do"?*

I'd knee it in the chest. It clean takes the wind out of them
and they never do it again :)

Hooray.. a quite sensible suggestion from the 'whack poly' brigade.. ie.. Nicky.. at first you didn't score many points with me, but out of all the suggestions so far that's probably the most humane and practical one.. rolled up newspaper :) excellent.

I've been doing a bit of a survey.. asking people about this. Just outlining it as I've done here.. but limiting the 'question' to the "if a dog came up and" etc.. the score is thus far:

6 "kick it"
2 "fight it off"
1 "ignore it and hope it goes away"
1 "report the owner"

PERICLES please adjust your terminology "Whack Islam" is the correct term. Along with that I also:

"Whack MIUAUG"
"Whack Atheism"
"Wack Political Correctness"

and I do definitely use the forum to refine arguments and ideas along all those important fronts.

Specially given that today we have a 'guilty as charged' for Benbrickhead and around 6 of his cronies for TERRORISM.

But lets not be distracted.. I hope everyone will do a little survey and report the results honestly about this doggy thing... it might be interesting to see the results by geographic location.

Or you could whack a mozzie with a rolled up newspaper.

Again, please post on Youtube.

Well, we already knew Porky's a complete "whacker", didn't we?

I think the tension's been broken, Pericles - a bit like a dog breaking wind, really.

Oops, I forgot.

Whack LABRADORS!!
