The thing is quite a few adults round here talk like that too.
I've no problem with her having an accent that's not the same as my lovely chirpy cockney barra'-boy one.
But at the very least she should be using the right words in a sentence.

Be thankful that's all she's coming out with! A friend of mine's 8 year old son is coming home with words and ideas that no 8 year old should know. It seems that some parents let their kiddies watch the sort of dvds that should be on the top shelf way out of reach!

My five year old nephew does that. The other day he was asking me to explain parallax. Why does a five year old need a word like that?

More importantly, where did he pick it up?

Stupid SSPCA and there idiotic rules. Apparently having a job is a bad thing if you want to offer a dog a home. Just how do they think dog owners pay bills? Magic bloody milk bones delivered by a leprechaun?

Totally agree, but it's not just the SSPCA. A friend of mine was looking to adopt an abandoned Basset from the breed rescue a few years back and was told that she wouldn't be considered if there were likely to be days when the dog would be left on its own for more than 90 minutes! Utterly ridiculous.

That being said, I can see why in certain circumstances, with dogs that have particular issues, it might be necessary, but not as a blanket, cover all policy.

Considering the sorts of lives some of the dogs come from being left for most of the day to doze in a cozy bed would be a blessed relief and far more preferrable to being in kennels or being dead.

Yeah you would think. I work 8am to 4pm. It's fairly standard hours for Scotland. Nothing out of the ordinary at all. Kinda explains why these animal rescue charities have a hard time finding new homes.

True, which is why I can see why restrictions of various sorts should be allowed in certain cases - i.e. not sending a dog to a 'normal domestic setting'. That's not to say there aren't people who could successfully deal with that animal, but they would have to be experienced and carefully vetted before given the animal.

Well in any case, the dog I wanted to re-home was a stray. Probably kicked out because he was getting old. So far as I know he had no particular issues. I was even told he'd settle in the house without a problem when I wasn't there. And guess what he was doing when I went to see him? Sleeping in the back of his kennel.

Complete waste of a day off work.

What a shame, because of overly paranoid, ridiculously jobsworthy do-gooders some poor old dog is denied a loving home to end his days in because you don't tick the right boxes. The world has gone mad. There are far too many stupid, inflexible rules and far too many jobworths who'll stick to them because common sense is a commodity that is sadly lacking in today's society. It makes me mad!

Show him the Wikipedia. There is a great .gif there explaining it more concisely than one could reasonably hope to in words alone.

(I would embed it but then people would get motion sickness on this page.)

Cleaning the wound on my finger yesterday, all the stitches have ripped, tried to sutherland it back together and just pulled more skin off. Looks very unlikely Ill be training before Christmass never mind fighting this month. Gutted, really gutted. Was meant to be doing a few EBF bouts after xmass too, doubtful I'll be ring ready even for them.
