Dear Ed,[removed] ,did you ever work for the Murdoch empire

Do you know David the editor? have you ever met him? I suspect not he is a good bloke who does a lot to help charities behind the scenes.
 Again a senior member is allowed to make remarks that are against forum etiquette, and hide behind a forum name without even a picture.
 If you think that of him go to his office and tell him.
Mark

Sorry that you think that Mark because i have never hid behind anything and i have no problems telling anyone to their face either ,its just that it very hard for me to get to his office from Burringham.
 I appologise to anyone who was upset by my mildly abusive remark however i still think it was a poor reflection on what actually occurs in Calis and it was out of order him to critise Tinks and his team who do a great job.
 If you really want to know what i look like Mark ,i am in my 50s bald 16 and a half stone 6 ft 1 ,we actually met at a dolmus stop a couple of years ago.

Is pepper spray something else I have to pack for my first visit to Calis on 3rd August? I didnt know you had this kind of problem,going by all the nice things people say about Calis it is a problem for me as my two little girls do not like dogs.They will get no change from me but a face full of spray

The same as Pookie, I'm fairly nervous around dogs too after a confrontation with a pit bull when I was 11. I remember seeing some strays on my first visit to Calis and feeling like crapping myself until they walked past and took no notice of me. Over the last few visits and here at home I'm much better with dogs now and during last years holiday I was much more comfortable with seeing the strays  

However I have seen  the other side of this, sat on the balcony last year and seeing a pack of dogs being fairly aggressive with each other on the road along the Golden Moon Hotel and the Venice Apartments onto the main street. A man did walk past but the dogs ignored him, suggesting it was more a territorial thing with just the dogs. Only saw them once though.

Can anyone also explain to me which dog is Cow Dog? I remember a sweet female stray (I think) outside B52 some nights but I wouldn't know if it was her or not

Cow dog is the dog who is white with black patches-like a Fresian cow lol! My husband's father was here a couple of years ago & we were stroking cow dog aka Daisy & he said 'why do you call her cow dog?' !! well fairly obvious to us as she has markings like a cow!!
Seriously we have 3 dogs at home & often get called by people who are either dog haters or can not understand the companionship & love that having animals bring. Our animals are always on a lead & are well-behaved. They encounter many dogs out & about in  Calis on their walks but never, ever have a problem.
unfortunately animals do respond to negative emotions, so if you are wary or dislike dogs the ones you encounter will pick up on that & respond accordingly.
For anyone to suggest that they would use a pepper spray on an animal is abhorrent. For any first time visitors to Calis, you will not see packs of rabid dogs roaming the streets-we are a civilised society here!!

'If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons!!'

Strange to be bumping this topic again after so long but the former editor of this newspaper is my brother and the family is desperately trying to persuade him to telephone his mother - he hasn't done so for almost three years.  she is 83, very unwell and anxious to speak to him.   We've even started a Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/davidphonehome

No-one can understand why an Irishman wouldn't phone his mum and I hope he has friends here who might talk some sense into him - before it's too late.

It might be a good idea to start a new thread topic rather than add on to a nearly 4 year old one.....

[GDDav]

You know, I wasn't sure what to do.  I'm in a quandary about the whole thing.  It looked as if people on this thread knew him, which is why I posted here.

[Scunner]

And posting here gives plenty of info in the topic that may help people recall who it is. I exchanged a few emails with David but don't know him, sorry. Good luck with this.

[GDDav]

What I really want to see is people who know him urging him to behave like a responsible adult and phone his mother while he still can.
