Question What is making you happy today?

[TrueBlue]

It is very rare that a live bite happens in this country. You have to have a real reason to release your dog. Like when firing a weapon we have a set of rules as our dogs are also classed as weapons. The dogs we use are trained mainly to bite the arm to cause the minimal amount of harm to the person. But enough to stop them in their tracks. You wouldn't release a dog for something small it has to be pretty serious like being shot at or seeing someone planting an IED.

The dogs used in afghan are completely different and some of them have been used to kill. The first ever bite I took off a dog in training was an ex special forces dog who had 3 confirmed kills. The last one was of it dragging out an afghan terrorist by his head. I'm not 100% on the truth of the stories but I know SF dogs are pretty nasty!

That's not a very nice thing to say and surely quite bad for canine morale.

Nice bottle of pink prosecco to look forward to this evening, courtesy of Morrison's price cut!

We seem to do well in the multi-discipline events, obviously the important question is who is the hottest, Kelly Sotherton, Jessica Ennis or Katarina Johnson-Thompson.....?

Kelly, by accounts from friends who trained at Loughborough when she did, are that she was the keenest!

That's a very important question! I've always been very fond of Princess Jess, but Sotherton's not bad either.

In terms of our female multi-discipline heritage, there is of course Mary Peters and Denise Lewis too. Not to mention 17 year old Morgan Lake who did very well to finish fifth today. Louise Hazel isn't quite in the league of any of the above sports-wise but...

Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins opened on the seafront where Circus Circus was. Meant to have opened yesterday. Anyone confirm?
