| We have a friend who worked for KAR for 9 months and was disgusted at the goings on there - too horrific to go into detail here. He suggested if you want to help them out donate tins of dog or cat food DO NOT give them money. Surely out of all the money they have had left to them in wills etc they could afford to extend or at least improve what they have. We really want a small puppy bitch - preferable JRT size or similar (we lost our beautiful girl last week and our elderly, ill boy dog is pining as he's used to the company after 10 years together but couldn't cope with a big dog) but can't bring ourselves to go to KAR after all we've heard about conditions there. Can anyone help us out on this????? |

| Spider, I would love to but unfortunately he just doesn't get on well with other male dogs and as he is quite ill we don't want to cause him any extra stress. I wish this wasn't the case as he sounds adorable but I will mention him to neighbours and friends to see if we can find him the loving home he deserves. It absolutely breaks my heart to think of all those poor dogs needing love and care. Good luck in finding him a home |

| I normally do not involve myself with the rubbish on here,but these comments about KAR are wrong. I have done voluntary work for KAR and you could not meet a more committed bunch of people. To suggest that money is mispent is absurd and damaging to the very animals you pretend to want to help. For gods sake get up to the centre and see for yourself, there are over 220 dogs that require a home. I will not defend the neutring and release policy. I like everybody on here do not know enough about the pros and cons but I do know it is a worldwide accepted standard practice. KAR is RSPCA accredited subject to inspection. It`s about time they were given help and not subject to ill informed moans and groans There are 220 dogs who want a chance,will you give them that or just gossip on here? |

| What sort of condition is the dog in? Is it looking after itself? Many do very successfully If you leave it alone it will look for food and water elsewhere many become self dependent. If you water and feed it it will become dependent on you. You have to be pragmatic about this. KAR would love to keep all the dogs but that is simply impossible. Incidently my comments were aimed at booitsme |

| the dog is a puppy and is extremely skinny and also has a cough! It's difficult to be pragmatic when it's hanging about with my 2 dogs! My husband took it away last night, to enable it to defend for itself (as per KAR policy) and it promptly came back! What do you suggest now????? Spider x |

| Oh dear spider, you are in a muddle! Unfortunately this 'accepted policy' of KAR is the main reason why there is so much poison around....what are the dogs supposed to do for food, ask the farmer for a sheep, or a chicken? The thing that gets me, is they (KAR) say they return dogs to the area they were found....well this is rubbish, i know for a fact quite often tagged dogs just 'appear' in Karsiyaka...i know because they most often come to my house to hang out with my own 2, fortunately i have railings so unless they are very small, they can't get in and make themselves comfortable. I really don't see why a major cull of all old and sick animals can't be done...i understand that if they were to do this, the money would perhaps stop coming in....but at least the dogs that were rehomable would stand a fighting chance of a decent sort of life!!! I Spider my heart goes out to you and this dog, maybe KAR could come and find it a different place to live... DD |

| Why is it KAR always blamed when dogs and cats are left on the streets to fend for themselves, surely the country and its occupants should take some of this responsibility on. KAR are a charity which is tied to the rules and regulations which are made by the country we have chosen to live in. Maybe we should study this to see whether they are allowed to put down healthy animals before stating what we think they should do. I wish the government or whoever can make this decision introduce a cull of stray animals, or even a place where they can be dropped off to be humanly put to sleep. I thought there was a government vet who will do this. The next best thing is to stop the street animals breeding and i will give KAR 100% support on this policy. I also learnt the other day from a policeman, only police and army can shoot dogs therefore the shepherds can not shoot animals worrying their sheep which is fully accepted in the uk so no wonder poisoning is carried out. |

| I have tried to remain silent when KAR is mentioned as most posters know how I feel...THEY ARE A BLOODY DISGRACE!!..it's all about money to them ..bugger the animals they come second or even lower down the pecking order. itfc what do you mean is it looking after itself ..yes of course it is, it pops each day into Lemar and buys a couple of tins of dog food...what a bloody stupid remark you made. |

| iIngrid i do hope maybe Booitme might just help out with this one..god willing.!! Daisy i have to agree with what you say re getting their own food..no wonder so many dogs die a terrible terrible painful death.we had one that came with us from England that died in such a terrible way....KAR and this policy...its so appalling.All us Brits do our best to support KAR..and i for sure have done mine.we have 2 dogs that would be starving.and heading for a terrible death if we had no taken them in.!! so i have done my bit....KAR..may be over run.....but a humane way of helping these dogs is not to put them back on the streets in the first instance... SO KAR DO YOU WANT THIS POOR FELLOW BACK...and perhaps one of your helpers can find him a loving home.?? No response as yet from KAR..Spider,X |

| oh dear oh dear . This topic keeps coming up ! I must say I used to think that the tag and return policy was terrible for dogs ..... but what is the alternative???? I used to work in Gırne at the bottom end of the high street where there are about 5 or 6 resident 'street' dogs - with tags in. Previously any stray dog was chased off- kicked-not fed and genrally abused by alot of the local people in that area ........ however these new 'street' dogs are seen as community dogs and suddenly cypriot shop owners started feeding these 'street' dogs ......... so what is the betters scenario??????? I think at least tagged dogs people know belong to no-one as such and often feed them. I was back in the area last week and saw 2 of these dogs and they looked very happy and healthy. |

| itfc1978 - I can only go by what I have been told by my friend who is very trustworthy and a real animal lover. I have also been given the same information from other sources. I don't doubt that that the people who help KAR are committed and animal lovers - you would have to be to do what they do every day, unfortunately it seems that the founder members may not be quite so committed. I apologise if we have a difference of opinion but I still could not bring myself to visit KAR as I already have awful memories of taking an ex neighbour to Battersea. I left feeling totally helpless. I still stand by what I said |

| I'm absolutely disgusted at the insulting and ignorant comments made here about KAR. With the limited funds at their disposal they keep alive hundreds of animals that otherwise would starve or suffer illness. Some of you are obviously unaware that veterinaries here refuse to destroy animals and this cannot be done by untrained volunteers. They have no option but to return dogs to the communities where they are found. Instead of denigrating the efforts of KAR volunteers you should be helping them alleviate the animal suffering which they dedicate their time to doing. If you think a cull would solve the problem then go see your Belediyesi but don't blame KAR for the sins of others who abandon their animals. |

Oh I wish I could give them all a home but don't think the neighbours would appreciate it! They're already whining about the fact that we are going to get another one and they call themselves dog lovers! It's not even as if they bark much either - gggrrrr |

| booitsme - the mother is about six inches bigger than my two staffies, sheis a lovely dog only about 18 months old, if you care to email me, i can send you photos of the pup now a little bigger than the photo you have seen and her mother to show her size. To be honest if a small dog has a puppy as a companion, end of day size does not matter as your current dog will parent the puppy. |

| I find it really sad that people are happy to sit in front of their computers all day and complain about just about everything. KAR being the latest on the list. I do voluntary work at KAR and whilst I do not necessarily agree with all their practices, what I do see is a bunch of people committed to doing their best under very difficult circumstances. I regularly do the vets run and can confirm that a vet will not euthanise a healthy animal, the only time that animals are put to sleep is if they are suffering. Whilst releasing tagged dogs back onto the streets is not ideal, what other choice is there when the KAR kennels are at bursting point, dogs cannot be euthanised and the government refuses to provide any assistance ? - There are currently more than 220 dogs being looked after at the KAR kennels and there is only a finite amount of space !!! So come on people, rather than criticise those who are trying to solve the problem, continued.... |

| continued... how about having a go at the government or the local dog owners who refuse to have their dogs neutered and therefore perpetuate the problem. Better still, why not take a couple of hours off from sitting in front of the computer and head off up to KAR and lend a hand.....you never know, you might just enjoy it and the dogs certainly will. Spider, if you give details of the location of the dog and its tag number, KAR are duty bound to come and pick it up and get it veterinary treatment. Kind regards Paul |

| It is an absolute disgrace!!! Phone them again Spider. Tell them you have put your comments on this forum and people are taking note that they are not interested. That will get them moving off their arses!!!! I know that they are stretched but a blanket refusal (as in your case), does nothing to assist their standing, and may even affect donations to the cause. People like to see that KAR are doing everything they can to assist in cases like this. Why are they not now???? I just hope you find a home for this poor little baby. x Tx |

| PS. Who runs KAR? Are any of them members on here? If so, perhaps they can explain WHY they refused to take action in this case!! How many other deserving cases do they refuse to take action? Surely they have a duty to come out and at least assess the situation? Rather than ignoring it. It is beyond belief it really really is. Do something proactive KAR. |

| Hay Ho...A lesson here for all of us..dog lovers or not...If as we have done in the past.kept a few dogs..and if like now you find yourself with a poor helpless stray..Yes do take it to KAR they will let it back onto the street,even though it is no a street dog...it will have no choice.!!!!! Dont ever say the place you found it...or the area you live...if from Lapta...say it was found in Nicosia...if you live in Kayarla just say you found it and live in GUZELYURT.. As it seems we should all WISE up to the antics of KAR...this was not a street dog...but it sure has no other choice now.!! someone from around the corner from us.must have found it,took it to KAR.tald them the place found and here we go round and round....so lets all make a note of this LESSON...and the anitcs and attitude of KAR.....

| Spider - How long has he been hanging around and did the dog originally come from your area ? If that is where KAR collected him from then, as far as i know, that is the area he would be released into once he has had the snip and been tagged. That is their normal policy and they do not divert from that unless there are particular reasons to do so. Are there particular reasons why he cannot stay in your area as a street dog? Often dogs that are re located to a new area will make their way back to their original home area - there are all sorts of issues around the scheme (see DogTrust web site who also advocate the same scheme). I know that they do re-collect tagg dogs if there are particular problems, with the dog i think (eg injury etc) and will get them treated and keep them at the centre until their treatment is finished. But again they then have to release them (they do not have the room to keep all of the strays). Is he injured ? The photo of him looks as if he is in ok condition |

| OK..I have said before,and hov told KAR...we have 2 rescue dog.a kitten and a very old cat...the dog is unable to stay here....that is for sure..a puppy is not a street dog till it has no choice in the matter...and KAR are making them street dogs...get the picture...simple... Our old dog is trying to fight with the puppy..our 15yr old cat is stressed out by the puppy.the kitten is S*** scared,and our other rescue dog is happy to play with the puppy...But we are not KEEPING..the so called street puppy...someone was stupid enough to tell KAR,the area it was picked up from...and Hay Ho..they do not have this problem..although they let there dogs roam the streets all night long...Lesson for all 44 member like i said..also the dog has a cough...poor thing.!! It just needs a little love and kindness..and the most loving thing would have been to put it to sleep...Oh yes SHOCK...and i am in Shock of the KAR procidure with regards to puppies that are not street dogs....its make them ONE..??? |

Whats it all about.?? helpless pups...being dumped to fend for themselves...Come on KAR..give me a pack of dogs then or at least tell me where to find them...and should i send the PUPPY, to live with them...and is it the elders who go shopping for the younger ones.????

| Hi Jean..and i do not doubt that either,as they do get the dogs and cats seen to by the Vets..therefor no further reproducing thats great...but if a pup is just dumped in an area.then picked up by KAR..what is the point of making that pup become a street dog.?? alone and hungry.?? Kar are aware of the wise street dogs and the places they frequent...it just a laughing stock of the whole thing....can one not see what i am saying.KAR put this puppy back onto the streets alone and hungry.to fend for itself...just because someone took there,they sorted it..job done..it is gong to no doubt dye a terrible terrible death on the streets thats for sure...Hunger and the big P...within a pack it may well survive.????

| Spider - message 75 - maybe this thread is a case of "not in my backyard thankyou -but anywhere else will do fine " Would a vet neuter a very young dog ???? Do they not have to be 6 months old ?????? Why not take him to the vets yourself and ask them to put him to sleep ? As you live in Ozankoy (according to your forum info !) it will be closer than taking him to the Rescue Centre and then you can rest easy knowing that you have done what you could for him - in his best interest of course !!!!!. Problem solved ! Q- Pack leader - is that to do with wolves /- or is it Brownies or Girl Guidos ? - sorry spelling mistake !!!!- honest- i did mean Giirl Guides !!! |

| I have also been surprised by KAR, more than one time, when calling about dogs dumped at my door step.I was asked,this is years ago, to bring them to KAR,just to be told;'this is to old/to big(puppies). When I first came here(more than 10 years ago)there were stray dogs,BUT not as many as to day. I took a stray into my care,without knowing that she some months later would present me with 10 puppies. I called KAR and asked what to do and was promised help.But when the time came, the puppies well fed, 2 1/2 months old, I got so many excuses (like; the kennel for the puppies is not ready/all our puppies are ill), that I understood KAR never intended to help. I found homes for all of them, good or maby not so good, but of cause the puppies were not neutered, so, in a way I have contributed to 'the problem' with to many poor dogs. KAR helped 1 time, but that was easy, a puppy with, what looked like a brooken neck. Does any one know KARs budget and how much KAR collected last year? |

| banjo - i am sure they must have to show aaccredited accounts - and i know they do and hose accounts must tally - i know they have an AGM as well - maybe if so many people are not happy with them they should attend the AGM and voice their concerns , ask questions BUT also listen to replies instead of speculations - it would make a change from the very few who show up every year. They advertise when/where and everyone is welcome. |

How many other deserving cases do they refuse to take action? Surely they have a duty to come out and at least assess the situation? Rather than ignoring it. I haven't seen an answer yet. Let's all concentrate our efforts on finding this poor little chappie a good home as it is clear KAR are going to do nothing to assist. Please please......xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

| I am a member of KAR and also am employed by the RSPCA in the UK. KAR is a CHARITY, it does not have the backing of the law as we have here and is mostly staffed by volunteers who give freely of their own time and energies. They do not have a limitless amount of money, I have seen the accounts and know they exist from day to day. Veterinary treatment is expensive, they do not get it for free. They cannot accede to every request to take in an animal, they have a duty to provide the best care possible for the animals already in their care. If the vets would agree to euthanaise the problem could be sorted, but in the TRNC they refuse to put a healthy animal down so their hands are tied. I suggest you think what the outcry would be if KAR said "enough is enough, we've taken enough crap" and close up, would you take responsibility for the ensuing problem? This whole thread has made me very angry. It's easy to slag an individual/organisation off, if you don't like the way it's run then |

| itfc1978 How right you are your words are true facts not just second hand crap from gossip mongers who sit on their arse night after night whining about Kar Animal Rescue. Every single day people go to walk the dogs schools visit the center to see what these people up there are doing the hard work that they put into it day after day not just dogs cats also and sometimes other animals. Like you said there are 200 and more dogs up there plus god knows how many cats they take in sick animals of the streets and take them to the vets to make them well again and yes they do put some back on the streets but they put them back where they find them because they know that they have a better chance to survive on their own territory. They are building more shelters for even more animals and this is done all by the guys up there and a few volunteers. So even thought spider the puppy must be a little darling but there are hundreds more little darlings waiting for a home and for someone to love |

| KAR would be in a better position if the people here directed their energy in helping and supporting rather than finding fault which is all too easy to do. If you are all truly concerned about animal welfare and want to work at a solution that is good for all concerned then get off your arse and get up there and give a helping hand if not shut up moaning about a bunch of people that are trying their best every single day of the year. If you would like to write and complain to me you will notice that I do have an email address or if you would like to phone me just ask and I will also send you my phone No. Best regards Lesleyd |

| What is a ‘Neuter and Return’ programme? It is a unique project that is being run in many different countries around the world in a bid to show that the only way to humanely reduce the number of street dogs is through a Neuter and Return programme. ‘Dogs Trust UK.’ Is one of the worlds leading organisations in the field of animal welfare recommends and gives guidance under this programme (www.dogstrust.org.uk.) Dogs are collected, neutered, treated for zoonotic diseases, a numbered ID tag is put into their ear and they are released back into the community. (During a recent visit to Istanbul many of these tagged dogs could be seen in the city and surrounding areas happily living in the community.) Why do we need a ‘Neuter and Return programme? |

| Every year millions of dogs from around the world are poisoned, or shot in an effort by members of the public or municipalities to rid their streets of the ‘menace’ of stray dogs. These dogs are treated as nothing more than vermin to be exterminated. Dogs and humans have enjoyed a bond, a dependency even, since almost time began. No decent human being would want to see the unnecessary suffering of dogs. |

| DEFINITION. There is a difference between street dogs and stray dogs. Street dogs are the canine equivalent to feral cats. They are born, live and will probably die on the streets. Stray dogs are dogs who are either owned and allowed to wander the streets, or else they are previously owned dogs who have been dumped on the streets. What options are there? 1. Kill the street dogs 2. Capture all the street dogs and put them into shelters |

| 3. Control or eliminate the street dogs ability to breed and so gradually reduce their numbers: While this may seem like a slow way to control the population numbers and the least likely to show immediate effects, this is the only method of street dog control that actually works. This coupled with an education programme is the only method of population control that will work to benefit the dogs and the local community. |

What do you think should become of it...and as i said in my first posting .If people cannot post anything of help..then please do not post at all...is anyone getting the point of this....This puppy is not in a pack on the streets...if it came from a street pack,it would have found them again..not us,..it was put back into the area it was picked up from...and that person knows who they are.who took it to KAR... |

| Spider - I know are not posting, but possibly still reading? I have posted on here time and time again supporting a mass euthanisia project. They will not do it. I know it is kinder to put a poor homeless animal down, but they do not see it that way, and I know for a fact that there are volunteers at KAR who agree that it would be kinder to put an animal down than to return it to the streets. Rome wasn't built in a day. Things have changed over the years and we can only hope that, at some point, a cull of these unfortunate animals will take place. Until then, don't hold your breath.

| Maybe as one member said a while ago that she knew of a vet that would do the job as the vets that Kar have been to will not put any healthy animal to sleep so I think instead of shouting their mouth and keep harping on about Kar this Kar that they should come forward with names so that Kar can then approach this so called vet. And as you say lots of people have read this posting but also remember that lots of people visit Kar lots more people and they continue to support and try and help as much as possible. Spider I wish you all the best trying to find this poor puppy a home but posting here for a home I doubt very much that you will. As for the money that Kar gets you really don't have a clue whats going on its just meany mouthed people nit picking Maybe those that are so quick to pull the guys down that do all the work I think it might be a good idea to let them have a rest for six months and see what sort of job you can do. |

| Very good Kev And what about PetCity and the like, not to mention all them vets making money out of animals? Animals! - that's what they are - ANIMALS! Anyway, back to the pointer - who would like a nice doggy? - It's really cute. and it's sort of doggy-shaped, and hairy, like...you know... one leg on each corner, sort of thing, big, soulful eyes, floppy ears and all that... It's got a slightly 'racy' look - something to do with the big red ear-ring I suspect!

| Just out of curiosity, why does a vet have to be the one to euthanase the animals....would a non-vet person get into trouble...it's not like it 'has' to be done with drugs, a bullet is just as efficient and quicker....please don't think i am cruel, i am just thinking of ways a mass cull of old sick and dying animals could be done as efficiently as possible. Surely the argument for a cull is far stronger than the argument for releasing and eventual poisoning......? DD |

| re message 90, so we all have to get of our fat arses, join k.a.r. just who do you think you are, your profile says you live in uk, what gives you the right to tell people in another country what to do, most of the top people in k.a.r. recieve salary so why should they not work hard, i notice its the same people at the top end every year before i came to cyprus i sponsored my dog , at a cost to myself of £500-00, i was asked for a £40-00 rehomeing fee when i came to collect her i would not donate 1 kurus to that outfit till there are changes at the top |

| catalkoykid Yes I do make money with my business but I can assure you that I have lots of good references, as I care deeply for animals. So what about people that look after old people that need looking after?? what do you have to say about that? Or people that look after children then abuse them?? I suggest that you engage brain before opening mouth fool. |

| goonerstan Yes I do live in the UK at the moment but make regular visits to North Cyprus and as soon as my husband has got his degree to become an ODP we will be on our way to live there permanently. But also while we are in the UK we do our best to do as much as we can for Kar. As for what business it has of mine probably the same as what business is it of yours what Kar does with the donations regards the animals. |

| lesley, i have also seen the difference in the care of street dogs in turkey. they are tagged and returned and cared for in the community by the community. every household offers either food or water to them. like a shared ownership thing, my point here is could people in the trnc be that kind? |

| There are lots of people in Cyprus that do the same for both cat's and dogs and I don't mean all the brits its like everything else you get good and bad in everything but that's life. The people that run the Rescue have all taken quite a few dogs or cats in themselves. When we came over we went to a restaurant and the owner had made his own living room in a play area for lots of cats I thought it was a really nice thing to do. But don't get me wrong I don't expect everyone to be doing the same thing I know the problem with all the Animals in trnc but it just makes my blood boil when people sit there moaning about what the guys at Kar are doing ok you will always get someone that's not happy with what they are doing but thousands of people visit the rescue every single day of the year so I am sure that if it was that bad you would hear a lot more about Kar than just the whingers on here. |

| And the reason that they put animals back to the same places on the streets is because they know that they get food and water from people. They only have so much room so its like everything else if there is no room at the Inn what can you do??. |

| change from the goverment is the only way. make them start to take resposibility for their own mess, and get some law through to start to deal with it. i just beleive while we still mop up their mess, they will do nothing. everyone who is an animal lover here has taken on their fair share of extras, it just can't go on indefinatley, there is no more room at the inn anywhere here. every day i see starving puppies owned by a neighbour of mine,every year he has at least two litters , people talk about him but he just doesn't care and nobody does anything. you could say just feed them for him, but then next year he will let them breed and the cycle begins again. creating a bigger problem. laws will be the only way to stop these people and those who just dump dogs. lets remember its not only the locals. instead of posting here, giving kar a dig it ,would be more constructive to be working on ideas on how to get something done about the problems. how do we get someone in goverment to |

| message 104 goonerstan - the people at the top get a salary - who do you mean The committee ?or the full time staff at the Centre ? The committee receive NO salary - the volunteers receive NO salary and the Centre workers do work bloody hard for their salary. Yet eveyone involved with KAR (be they paid or not) has the same old moaners banging the same old drum about what they are doing wrong ??? DO THEY NEVER DO ANYTHING RIGHT !!! Of course they do but the mealy mouthed few on this board ignore that. I have tried to be impartial,trie not get too involved abide by my own confidentiality morals but what the heck - maybe the information that was given on the telephone to KAR by "Spider - m ***a " did not quite match the info that has been put on this board. The dog had been seen by her living in that same area with local dogs. Hence why it was returned there - it is its home area. No mention of any need for vet treatment - it was being a nuisance to Spiders dogs/cats. continue |

| continued The dog had, on Thurs, only been hanging around for 2 days at Spiders house. But she and/or husband and/or friend had put it in a car and driven it to the Lapta border where they put it out of the car and left it with some food and drove off. Next norning it ad returned - back to its HOME enviroment (which unfortunately is Spiders = M***A locale). It was still upsetting annoying her dogs/cats. She, quite rightly, doesn't want it at on her property -all she wanted was for it to be moved - away from her - a case of not in my backyard as had previously been mentioned. An assesment was being carried out during the whole conversation - Spider =M***A was told more than once not to put words into the Helpline persons mouth. Spider was corrected more than once because she was NOT listening to what was being said - she wanted the problem solved in her way. The situation was quite straight forward there were no valid reason for KAR to divert from its policy - continue |

| continued Their policy has been explained by lesley - the only reason that there was for it to be moved was because Spider wanted it away from her property and from her dogs/cats. When the advise was given to deter it from her property it was not advise that Spider wanted. But if followed the dog would not be annoying her dogs/cats and it would not be on her property but it would still be in its own home enviroment. Problem solved !! The other alternative is that one her "many" mates could have gone and collected the dog and taken it to the vet and explained why it couldn't stay in taht area and asked the vet to put it to sleep - problem solved I DOUBT IT !!!I hope that you are all pleased with yourselves. Its a good job not everyone thinks like the mealy mouthed few on this board - we would still be i n the days when there were hundreds of stary dogs running around TRNC in packs. Mind you maybe that was before the mealy mouthed few chose to come and live here so they wouldn't know. |

| mees 81 banjo I have also been surprised by KAR, more than one time, when calling about dogs dumped at my door step.I was asked,this is years ago, to bring them to KAR,just to be told;'this is to old/to big(puppies). When I first came here(more than 10 years ago)there were stray dogs,BUT not as many as to day. I took a stray into my care,without knowing that she some months later would present me with 10 puppies. I called KAR and asked what to do and was promised help.But when the time came, the puppies well fed, 2 1/2 months old, I got so many excuses (like; the kennel for the puppies is not ready/all our puppies are ill), that I understood KAR never intended to help. I found homes for all of them, good or maby not so good, but of cause the puppies were not neutered, so, in a way I have contributed to 'the problem' with to many poor dogs. KAR helped 1 time, but that was easy, a puppy with, what looked like a brooken neck. that was 10 years ago read |

| deecyprus4 - I DO DARE AND BLOODY WELL HAVE DARED . FYI- Spider = M****A - look at Spiders given email addy on her member info !!!! It also ties in with the callers GIVEN name to KAR on Thursday afternoon. Although "she" the caller was not a 'male carpenter living in Ozankoy' !!!!!! But it was the same person. SO i REPEAT YES I DO BLOODY DARE ! catalkoykid - did i mention you - or anyone else for that matter - but if the hat fits !!!!! I just despair of the person who taught fishwives to read and write and use a computer. Moderators ARE YOU WATCHING THIS TIME !!!!!! |
