Oh, they’re simple, it’s just that I can’t unlearn ps2 Tony hawks. It’s 2d, linear with very clear objectives but also able to just do mad flips/grabs/wall rides so probably good for a kid as well as a weed-addled 40-something

Neil! Olli olli world is good - controls were/are a bit baffling for my aged brain (can’t undo a decade of sessioning tony hawk) but it’s fun from the start which works better for old man ‘I’ve got 30 mins spare 1-2 days a week’ lifestyle than ‘proper’ games I find.

Hmm, interesting discussion (neutering/spaying) thanks.
I’m very conflict averse so wouldn’t give grief to the owners of any bitches in heat but it feels like the responsible thing to do.
If it looks like having our dog spayed will prevent him drawing the attention of other complete males then I’ll be all for it, but not until he’s out of his teens.

What are the ethics/consensus on spaying/neutering?
We’ve got an absurdly timid lab/spaniel 9-month old dog - everyone has advised us to not get him snipped because the hormones should hopefully improve his confidence. The implication seems to be that the onus is on the owners of bitches to get them spayed.
Our dog is good off-lead but I doubt we’d have any chance recalling him against a bitch-in-heat scenario. Would anyone?

I’ve got a few pairs of these and like them. I’d say go a bit lower on pressure - I’m 82kg and run 35psi. I’d probably go lower but the front tyre gets squirmy and messes up the steering.
I’d also suggest latex tubes - the difference is really noticeable in these mid-size, kind-of-supple tyres.
Conti grand pri urban are a step up IMO. Again latex tubes, and I THINK the tan wall are more supple than the black.

Great to know some first-hand info, thanks. I think we’ll probably try out a local one (or two) and gauge success.

I’ve developed a hyper vigilance in the park and usually spot wayward dogs far enough away to head in a different direction. If the other dog looks chill or is on lead I’ll venture closer to show my guy there’s nothing to be afraid of.
Recently I’ve started saying hello and really actively engaging any dog that comes over. Petting them, speaking to them etc - that seems to really help calm down my guy and prevent the uninvited stranger from getting aggressive/chases. But I can’t get to all of them.
My dog oddly seems just as scared when there’s no dog around (we routinely go to the park 5:30am). Like he can’t believe there’s nobody about and they must be hiding/waiting to pounce. Then he sees a squirrel and he’s off and all is forgotten for 10 seconds….

Cool thanks good to know. Part of me thinks continued exposure at daycare or similar is the only way he’ll get past his current terror of all dogs and realise that most of them just want to play. The other part just thinks he’d be terrified and it would make things worse….
-
Yeah that might be an idea if we can break him through his abject fear. At the moment a ‘good’ encounter is when the other dog is very well mannered and just curious/slow moving and wants a sniff. It still scares him, but not enough to run away. Can’t imagine anyone else walking him atm.
