What is the volume of a pizza radius 'z' and thickness 'a'?

After my Post Superbowl lie in I came downstairs to find the kitchen floor awash with liquid dog poo. No leftovers for Neville next Sunday.

You have my sympathies. The Irish wolf hound we are dog sitting for had had similar issues all week. We have finally tasked it down to the canned dog food that is used to flavour his dried dog food with... We took him off it for a few days and it cleared up. Changed him over from the cheapest tesco's stuff that his owner had left to something I had hoped was a bit better and the problem is back again now going over to come cheap and cheerful honey roast ham slices to see if it cleared up without him starving himself!

They can be fussy beggars can't they. None of ours have ever got on particularly well with tinned wet food - they're predominantly dry kibble eaters and seem happy enough on it. We're trying them on a new kibble this week, regular resting g/h stuff was out of stock, they seem to be liking this new one a bit more but maybe that switch added to their weekly treat of a bit of human Sunday Lunch has been too much for Nev all in one go.

I'd love an Irish Wolfhound or a Deerhound or two one day, I'm working up through Salukis and Greyhounds.

This one is known to have a dodgy tummy and is on some dried stuff which he is fine on, only he won't actually eat it by choice . He will literally go days not eating it if you let him. Put a tiny bit of ham or something else with it and he will wolf the lot down in under a minute and look at you like he is starving! I don't like the smell of tinned dog food and would much prefer to keep him on ham ends that one of our localish Waitroses sells off for something like £3/kg and it's not just ham ends, all sorts end up in there. basically anything that has to be sliced at the deli ends up there. He's over to the Morrison's thinly sliced ham until next weekend. Hopefully he will be a little less smelly...

My son's Border Collie (a failed sheepdog) only gets dry food & seems fine on it. Just one meal a day as well.

Glad I'm not a dog.

This one is on 3 small meals a day. 1 large yogurt pot of large dog dried food morning and evening and 1/2 at bed! We get to know when he thinks it is good time!

Ouch, it's not fun when you cough that much. I usually cough to I throw up!

Very patchy sleep here as well. We tried taking me in the car yesterday to see if I could make the 25 mins up the road to the hospital for Wednesday. The answer was very definitely no and I was ended up back on the morphine again. Result was that I slept yesterday afternoon and not last night!

I haven't been quite that bad although TVC had vomited a few times due to the coughing. Silly virus

Its Monday.

In true Stars in Their Eyes style, today Matthew, I am mostly being...a Cyclops driver
But only for one day. Realised last night one headlamp was out. Today, purchased a new one, fitted this evening.

One of my pet hates, drivers with either defective lighting or innapropriate lighting, fogs on when its clear etc. I reckon 10% of cars fall into the above, its amazing how many I see on a day to day basis, same roads, same time, very likely same drivers.

Hardly exciting news but determined not to be 'one of them'.

The dog has just refused to go for another walk!
