...have been reviewing something. Anyone would think I were opinionated.

For a change, I give you this pearl of third hand wisdom from BBCi's current debate on the best methods to avoid being attacked by an out of control dog.

I was told by an American firearms team that, if attacked by a big dog one should push one's hand as far down the throat of the dog as possible and lock the other free (and unbloody) arm around its neck, thereby stopping it moving away. The dog will eventually collapse.

When asked the obvious question about its teeth, the American said, 'Whatever it's doing to your forearm, it ain't doing it to your groin.'

That's right - if you're about to be attacked by a dog that may well be both bigger and stronger than you are, has momentum on its side and is packing serious teeth it knows how to use, the best option is clearly the Mandible Claw.

I can just here JR calling the play-by-play now
'As god is my witness, he is bitten in half'
'In twenty five years in this business, those are the largest teeth I have ever seen'

Anyone would think I were opinionated.

I can sense the irony, but... is that a bad thing? I mean, seriously, where would we be if none of us had an opinion?

I like getting yours and other's opinions on things like films I may be going to watch or have watched, for example. They save me £6.50 every now and Eragon.

And learning of your enjoyment of Wind in the Willows means I can try and dissuade Dave from running a game based on it, in a desperate attempt to save his life. ;)

If Dave wants to run a WitW game, why stop him? I imagine he'd do a better job than a lot of adaptations have, and if I don't want to part of it, I can vote with my feet and not show up. I'm in the minority in not liking metaLARPS, I know.
