The following tale doesn't please me, but it involves comeuppance. Some might call it Karma.
From The Evening Standard: A big game hunter has been crushed to death by an elephant which was shot by another member of his group in Zimbabwe.
South African Theunis Botha, 51, who is well-known for his trophy hunting exploits, was leading an expedition in a game reserve when they ran into a group of elephants.
The elephants, including pregnant females, reportedly became distressed and three charged towards the hunters.
Mr Botha began shooting with his rifle which prompted a fourth elephant to rush towards him and lift him up with her trunk, according to Netwerk24.
Another member of his party then reportedly fired at the elephant, which collapsed dead on top of Mr Botha, killing him as well.
Taking my fit as a fiddle neighbour to the local pub/restaurant for his 91st birthday and getting a thank you card before retiring to bed the same evening.
This morning at training I was introduced to a lady with a Staffordshire bull terrier, she had rescued it a 9 nine months old it still had pink pads on its feet, a tell tail sign its not been walked and now at 11 month old she was told by 2 vets to have the boy PTS and 2 so called "trainers" after taking a couple of hundred quid off the lady told her to muzzle it when out walking. Our first 5 minutes and the dog had sunk its teeth into my wrist breaking the skin and bruising it up. The lady asked me what we do now, my reply was to tell her before the end of our one hour session we would achieve a goal and what would she like it to be? She said she would like him to walk down the street without barking at people or dogs. I told her we would aim a bit higher than that. Our goal would be that her dog and my boy would be "Off Lead" together in the training paddock watching her face assume one of total shock. 40 minutes after teaching him how to behave, we had one owner with tears of joy and one happy Staffy "I fecking love my job"
Jnr coming over for a BBQ yesterday, armed with 2 boxes of mint Adidas trainers that he has given to me (good job we have the same sized feet), and he has only worn them once or twice. 'Hand me up trainers' is the way forward. Result!

All you've got to do now is wait to see what he's done to piss you off so much that he needed to soften the blow with a couple of pairs of trainers.

Mint? I guess I'm old school, I prefer black or white.

Watching this drummer in action has really cheered me up this morning.
She must have honed her skills by watching the 1990 Germany vs Holland WC game...
'Hand me up trainers' is the way forward.
