Oh, I'm fully aware of that old adage, but you, my friend, clearly don't know me too well.  I'm a non-conformist.  A rebel, one might say!  Despite my ovine tendencies, a sheep I most certainly am not!
I lead, but do not follow.
I will/do wear blue and green together.
I will/do wear pvc underwear without the use of talcum powder.
I will/do walk under ladders.
I will/do openly support the underdog (obvs!)
I do look good in budgie smugglers, despite what others clearly think (I've seen those disdainful European glares, across the campsite pool!)
I have even been known to have both chips AND rice on the same plate, and am not embarrassed to admit it!
 
In fact... I laugh in the face of old adages!  I smash mirrors for a hobby!  Join me, brother, and feel the freedom!
(Sorry, I can't extend that invitation to everybody, otherwise we'd all become sheep, by default!).
 

Dog owners, who for some inexplicable reason, assume everyone would like to fuss over their dogs!
Just met up with big sis in her local park.  sat in our camping chairs.  Thermos cuppa each.  3 of us in total (2 of us from one household).
First time we've seen her since early March.  Was wonderful. (She's mid 60's and lives alone). 
All grass.  Very quiet, so very spacious, under the circumstances.  Nobody came within 20m of us (and we didn't cause anyone to divert in any way.  We saw 7 other people in 90 mins.  Dad and young son over the other side.  Bit of a kick about etc.  The other 5 were just strolling through.  3 of them were walking dogs.  Of those 3, 2 of them allowed their dogs (2 owners... 3 dogs) to approach us, and begin to sniff around etc.  Chairs/ankles/bags/shoes/thermos cups.  You name it, the dogs wanted to explore.
Neither owner made any attempt whatsoever, to curtail their dog's approach by calling them back, and literally had to be told to do so, before they reacted in any way!  (By Muckerette... I'm too much of a coward, and just tried shooing the dogs away directly... unsuccessfully, I hasten to add)
My sister isn't at all keen on dogs.  Muckerette is generally scared of them, or at the very least, doesn't trust them.  I can take 'em or leave 'em, and am more than comfortable around dogs... in the right setting!  But I certainly don't want 'em licking my friggin mug of coffee!
Whether dogs could be virus carriers or whether that is unproven/old wives tale, I care not one jot. 
Whether each particular dog is vicious or "just wants to play", I care even less!
Keep the Bamfords away.  If they cannot be trusted, then leash the duckers!  At the very least, for the better trained and more well behaved dogs... as all three of these seemed to be, if truth be told... try calling them back yourself, before they reach us, and before we feel the need to tell you to control your dogs!
 
I fully appreciate that most dogs like a fuss.  Who doesn't!
I fully appreciate that some people approach others' dogs, against the owners wishes.  I know this works both ways.
So... we won't approach your dog unless invited to do so (No thanks!), and you don't allow yours to approach us, unless we invite you to (Fat chance!).

There was a young family from Leicester,
Who were told to stay home 'til they fester.
It didn't take long,
'til they started to pong,
So they all got transferred to Manchester.

Little limerick for you:

Who stayed in Leicester
He’s still in Leicester
More news on this story as we have it.

Bit fuzzy for 10 mins, when I logged on c. 11:50, but absolutely perfect since noon, as it was all last week.  Even just then, watching Mr Cocu on a streamed video interview, on a live streamed broadcast, picture and sound was perfectly in sync.
That's watching on the website, direct on a lap top.  No TV connections etc.
So far (inc last week's excellent coverage), so bloody fantastic!
My initial thoughts and expectations about watching crap football, on crap streams, with crap (zero) stadium attendances was so far from the reality, I may even have to look back on all this when it's over, and consider typing the words "I was wrong"!

No idea ?‍♂️

I wouldn't mate, she's not too good around large dogs.

Correction:
KIERAN DOWELL HAS CONTRIBUTED TO A GOAL
I REPEAT: KIERAN DOWELL HAS CONTRIBUTED TO A GOAL

Dinners ready lads ?‍♂️

Nah, I think that's just where his calf meets his thigh.

Really?  So you do auto electrics too, eh?  

Sorry to hear about the knee mate.  That's a rarebit of bad luck you're having.  

Briehave yourself, can you not patella he's cheesed off as it is?

I'd better postpone that one for a couple of years then.

The 5th Sept is a Saturday... Not sure you've thought this through!  

Shamelessly stolen from Facebook...

Rooney would have a Nan with that.
 

She worries too much, that wife of yours!   ?

Haven't players been asked (or instructed?) to stop duckin' spitting all over the pitch, or can they carry on because they are better than the rest of us?

I could call it Lawrence is a jerk chicken .

I gave you the laugh emoji not because of the joke, but because you thought that you were winning the argument!

That's the parental guidance warning, due to scenes of a violent nature.
Personally, I think the club should be commended for it.  I bet i-follow don't do that!   ?
