Cats have done an awful lot of harm in Australia, they displace and/or kill the native beasts

Any dogpersons care to comment on poo? Can a dog be trained to do its *number twos* at home?

For te turd time (sorry, I slipped into an Irish accent then) in this thread...

Yes they can. Watch a Guide Dog.

Can a dog be trained to do its *number twos* at home?

Absolutely can .............. or anywhere else if you want.
Last dog we had would perform perfectly if you used the right words. Previous dogs were good at it too.

"Go wee-wees" .............. self evident.
"Come on, get on with it" .............. for Number Twos.

All it takes is for the owner to know their dog and its personality, plus a regular routine.

"Come on, get on with it" ....

I thought this what wives say in the married boudoir

Perhaps husbands are trainable in the same way..... and have been for thousands of years.

A sad report of a man who used his phone in the bath while it was connected to the charger and was electrocuted.

Having dealt with a case where somebody decided to end it all on Christmas Day by climbing into a bath clutching an electric fire, it's not something I'd treat lightly.

It does raise some issues. Are people so dependant on their phones that they use them in the bath? I'd have thought that the risk of damaging a phone in water would have deterred most people. Although it seems this is not a frequent manner of death, there seems to be concern that the instructions don't include a specific warning. Who might read it?

Man was a PRAT

"Are people so dependent on their phones that they use them in the bath"

at least he only killed himself, car drivers kill others

Stupidity is not a survival trait. Nuff said.

Mrs Mick F is cleaning up in the kitchen and she's just emptied the crumb tray under the toaster. She's wiping down the outside of the toaster, and I suggested she dropped it into the sink and gave it good clean.

She refused, so I suggested she switch it off and unplug it first .................... but she still refused.

If it were up to me, I'd put it in the sink and give a good boogie-ing in soapy water and rinse well afterwards. Leave it outside in this glorious April sunshine ................ but she won't let me.
