Places you have no desire to visit in the first instance
stripeyrache of Off Topic Posts, 3 July, 2012 at 15:18

Hunger striking dog
stripeyrache of Off Topic Posts, 28 June, 2012 at 13:39

Benji is on hunger strike! I think it's the heat. He's generally fine in himself, lively, barking at leafleters, vying (unsuccessfully) for Audrey's affections. All the usual. We've been for a walk,...
