For some reason, this chills me.
Ever since I was a kid I've had an absolute horror of rabies. I put it down to the fact that in the 70s and 80s we were bombarded with propaganda designed to shít us up about it. That and sniffing glue were basically the most terrifying things of my childhood.
I saw soem B movie on TV about rabies when I was a kid. Scared the living bejesus out of me. To this day I'm somewhat circumspect about petting feral cats int he third world.Quote:

All foreign dogs had rabies didn't they.Quote:

Did it start with a fox and contain a bit where a bloke gave his girlfriend rabies with a lovebite? And a genuinely terrifying attempt to represent the horrors of hydrophobia?Quote:

No, the one I'm thinking of was a 1950s Amercian B movie which featured a rabid bloke being tied to a stake outside all night, where he howled like a dog.Quote:

It was all those posters on the cross channel ferries. Black with a sort of drawing of a slavering dog's head in red with "La Rage" written in big red letters above.Quote:

You lived in the North didn't you? In Munich most of the dogs are carried in handbags as fashion accessories even if they had rabies you can boot the little ****ers to kingdom come before they bite you. Not that I advocate that sort of thingQuote:
