Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Mar 27, 2015 19:09

It has been an intermittently successful week. I did some trial baking, got my hair cut, took Draco to agility class (where he decided to emulate Bren and refuse to go over the dog walk, without the excuse of having fallen off it, and to Lurk In Tunnels (it's a terrier thing)), enquired about getting a new stair carpet (I still have to give the ( Read more... )

You do realise that if you don't like the wire, the guardian comes round and confiscates your telly. Boy did they love that show.

If the Guardian was going to send a hit man round they would have done so long ago, and not just about my taste in telly!

I don't think it was a cheap decision - the lives of the dogs and the children are linked - definitely metaphorically, and possibly literally...

I meant cheap in the sense of pulling at the heartstrings for effect. Especially as, in this particular case, a human is killed for the same offense - I would have thought that was sufficient. I know it's also in the books, but I couldn't get on with them either. Too thick, too many characters (I'd hoped that the TV show would be more accessible, but it isn't. I probably would have given up on it anyway - the dog was just an early deal-breaker.)

I'm still hoping for a happy ending for Scruff (I bet Linda would have had him microchipped), but at least his loss was believable in context and he was not deliberately killed in front of our eyes to show how evil the bad guy is. (That may not be what happened in GoT, I don't know because I have neither read the books nor seen the TV show, but I assume that's why you ditched the series.)

Lynda will definitely have had him microchipped, and will probably be a member of 'DogLost' and have posters up and Facebook adverts all over the place (the reason we've not heard from Robert is that he's glued to the computer waiting for sightings). But I have no confidence that the present management understands enough of the real countryside world to even mention any of this. In the media world dogs are mere plot movers.

I thought lurking in tunnels was a cat thing.

:D

Cats lurk in kitchens. Or anywhere else they can keep an eye on things.

Pickles lurks under rugs, from whence he launches his sneak attacks. The jerk.
