Some guide dogs can find a public toilet for their owner just by using smell.
They can even distinguish between male and female toilets.

We are deep into the golfing season and the British open starts today.
You will here golfers shout FORE (right or left) if a shot goes astray.
However, no one is certain of the origin of this shout. There are various theories but no one can be certain.

I have a week off in August if they need another manager.

Admittedly I don't understand football and have no management experience, but by the looks of it, I couldn't be any worse than the previous eight.

Does that mean if the UK has eight PM’s in five years it will manage to make a profit, too?

Mosquitos kill more humans each year than all the other toxic creatures combined. Its estimated they kill around ONE MILLION humans each year.

It’s not actually the mosquito that kills people.
They just carry the diseases.

And that's why they focus on killing people instead.

*more seriously is normally ignorant dog walkers / ramblers getting between the cow and the calf.

Also farmers getting accidentally crushed in tight pens is sadly quite common.

If you don’t have a dog and it’s a big field they can be very curious but you should be ok. I’ve backed away from cows a few times, but once the settle down it’s ok.

Yes as a son of a dairy farmer, I can confirm they are naturally curious, but very rare for them to be actively aggressive, unless "protecting" a calf. Bulls running in with cows also best given a wide birth as likely to be fuel up on testosterone. Plastic straws were far less dangerous. :okay:
