I live in Rural Ireland. I drive. I also enjoy a drink from time to time but I don't combine both. Glorifying the old days when a man (and it was mostly men) got behind the wheel after a feed of pints, not giving a damn for his safety or the safety of others is shameful.

I don't care how good a dog owner anyone might be or how well trained a dog is, but if you're walking them within proximity of other people, then keep your dog on a lead. The dog owner may not be remotely nervous but I'd wager that at least one person you walk by every day is.
