    Is anyone else sick of these near constant bear attacks?

    It's like we're prisoners in our own homes!

    What are you and I going to do about it?

    I blame the new government there were no bear attacks under fianna fail. Some said our policy of bear appeasement was cowardly and expensive but look at us now

    You in Sweden OP?

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/03/29/boy-attacked-by-bear-he-disturbed-in-its-lair-in-sweden-says-he-felt-ready-to-die-115875-23022905/
    A BOY who was savaged by a bear he had disturbed in its lair has told how he thought he would die.
    “I accepted death. The feeling was ‘let it come’,” said Ollie Frisk, 12, as the female brown bear bit his legs and clawed his back.
    He is recovering in hospital – but now the lives of three cubs are at risk after the mother ran off following the encounter in woods at *Funsdalen, Sweden.
    Ollie had been skiing with four friends when he strayed into the lair on Friday.
    But he managed to escape and his friends helped drive off the beast.
    He said: “She threw herself on top of me. It was only when I stopped trying to fight that I was given a chance.
    “It then became quiet and she stepped over me and left, thinking I was dead.”

    Can't we all just paws for a second, these grissly threads are becoming unbearable. Maybe me and the OP are just polar opposittes and I don't appreciate his humour.

    An old woman told me that the bears escaped from Duffy's circus and have been hiding in the forests.

    But, if you think the bears are bad - wait till the Clowns get hungry.

    Top name.

    Would be rightfully condemned to a school-life of abuse and cruel nicknames in a less liberal country though.

    Went to the shops to buy milk the other morning and was accosted by a large hairy bear. Kept tickling my ear with his whiskers. Then I played dead and he lost interest. Told the gardaí about it and they informed me there had been a number of bear attacks in the area, all by the same perpetrator...

    I mentioned this before,

    All Teddy Bears should be BANNED and made illegal to possess, sell or supply.

    They give children the false presumption that bears and cubs are cute and cuddly creatures but when in reality they are most likely to tear their heads off should they come in contact with them.

    I read somewhere that periods attract bears. Bears can smell the menstruation.

    I meant bear grills. Grills you attach to your windows and doors to keep bears out.

    I don't know what a grylls is.

    I usually try to avoid posting in PedanticSpellingNazi mode, but you're thinking of grilles

    Some sort of cooking apparatus was what came to mind here first :)

    And I too am wont to share my pedanticism with the world, but on this occasion I must point out that both spellings are actually correct, both grille and grill, when referring to a screen/divider/barrier type thingy.

    Though I should have included the 'e' for clarity.

    I can't bear bare Bear Grills.
