Oh joy, another soccer thread.

Pedanticism's great, innit?

The matter is as clear as day. If that is being pedantic, then guilty as charged.
London is not a big city, in fact it is probably the smallest in the U.K.

Has anyone heard anything about the supposed use of pesticides in and around the of town?

The reason i ask is because my dog was very ill this week with vomiting and diarrhea. Now i appreciate dogs eat lots of stuff they shouldn't and are sick quite often. The reason i mention it is because i know of another few dogs who have been suffering similar symptoms. These dogs all use the same field as mine and others around town (including Menses park).

I have heard it mentioned by a few other people that different pesticides have been used this year by the council.

It could be that a doggy bug is knocking around but i just thought i would ask.

My dog has been poorly, being sick, off food and diarrhea on about 4 separate occasions. A friend'sdog had similar illness and died, he was only 18 months old. A workmate's dog is currently ill too.

Jesus and i though i was being paranoid. There is something knocking around.

joel monaghan wants to know if it can be transferred to humans

Thats the funniest post I have read for a long time

Wigan Council are WASTING money yet again. They disgust me.

I've said many times that there was no need whatsoever to waste money on a new logo and therefore new signage all over the borough to reflect this

But their latest jolly begger's belief. They've only gone and put up SEVEN stone sculptures in Scholes, spelling out the word "SCHOLES." It's in the Wigan Observer today - I've looked online but I can't find a link yet, sorry.

Not being funny, but there are people out there SKINT, and councils all over the country - INCLUDING WIGAN - have been told by the government not to waste money, and to rein in their spending - so why the HELL have they done this.

Irresponsible, stupid, and arrogant in the extreme.

Jesus Christ. The L even looks like a cartoon knob.

Waste of money, looks ridiculous and will be covered by graffiti within the month.

In that sense it represents Scholes quite well.

That's not very nice, Dave.
