Old English Terrier



The Old English is a working and sporting terrier that is, in general, an exceptional athlete with a high, intense, and vigorous prey drive that is followed, if need be, by an awesome display of gameness.

The breed as a whole is very physically and mentally active. They require a lot of exercise and mental challenges. They are extremely people friendly, and make wonderful companion pets.

getting older is nice, but the responsibilities that comes with it is quite stressing. awww, such is life eh?

Ah,cool insults. I can do better than that. I could put you in a.. a ..a.. 20th, perhaps or 50th? Do you know the reason why? Would you like to know? I'm sure you know it, plus i couldn't be bothered answering your rants!
hehe, then why are you answering?  ;D  

come to think of it, you believe i'm insulting you, i believe you are insulting the whole filipino nation.

QuoteThere, your prejudices against women with views and are cleverer than you but married to a foreigner. Is that it? Such a naive and ignorant person, you are dear. I feel sorry for the things that you believe in towards us. I don't know if you are totally lack of moral standard given by your parents or just as stupid and incompetent as the teachers who taught you in those important stages of your learning. You are talking about science, but failed to understand what it brings to the world and to all the People. You're insight towards us Filipina, who settled with a foreign husbands  is just so ancient, I wonder how you come up in mentioning the word "science" at all! lol
say that again?  you sound like you are descended from tarsiers.  :-X

QuoteOk, I'll teach you now, just in case you don't know anything about us at all hence your ignorance can be observed. We, Filipina married with foreigners are much cleverer  than you are. We have an open-mind and full acceptance to all the changes around us, in short, we are adaptable. We have helped, since then, the economy of the Philippines, hence without us, Philippines will dissolve into bankruptcy. We are independent women,in so many ways,not like others who are dependent (such as you, darling) and just waiting on what they can bribe and corrupt from others  to indulge their day to day living in the Philippines.

since you seem so sure, you must of course be talking about your personal knowledge and experience of being corrupt.  i understand.

if you bother to know more the people here at tb, the women especially, who happen to be less presumptuous than you are, many are married to foreigners.  they are great women, real professionals who hold no delusions that without them the philippines will “dissolve into bankruptcy”.  they are way, way, way more educated.  sabe?  

QuoteWe, women who married with foreigners are educated,professionals,widely-experienced and had traveled a long long way to tell the true picture of the story, not like you who's view is torpid.
i have no problem with that... you just happen to impress me as one of the less educated professionals, judging from your sweeping stance.  a more educated person would have been less cocksure.

QuoteA person like you will not last long here abroad as our Police will definitely interested with your prejudices.

oh, i have lived for 17 years in different countries abroad and go home for month-long visits every year.  where’s the police, bobbie, gendarmerie, carabinieri, policia, polizei?  ;D

QuoteWe don't flaunt what we can buy with our £ (pounds) but instinctively, since you've mentioned it, I could say that you are that person who you've had just described. You, dear is the one who is materialistic, with a sluggish-brain function, and one who needs some lubrication to pave the way for the new-modern Filipina, who are far from your description. Such an ignorant view you have!

you definitely don’t flaunt.  you just believe that without your pounds the philippines will “dissolve into bankruptcy”.

QuoteWhat a surprise! I have  no doubt at all that you will stay as a pest of the society rather than a helpful citizen, who accept change,and debates on right and wrong. I have had my fair experiences of your kind ( thankful for it's limited number!) ,egocentricity as I called it, and I don't like them at all,infact I hated them, as they only like to listen at their own noises and nothing else, and they tend to attack the person rather than the contents of the conversation.

and you yourself are not attacking the person but the contents of the conversation?  when brains were distributed, did you get a microscopic share?

QuoteOne thing that I've observed as well to the people like yourself, is that, they tend not to have development. They rather stays under-developed. This is perhaps, because they can't stand nor accept that "2 heads are better than one" in solving problems; and that experiences are valuable commodities in telling a real story.They also ended up their arguments with fights rather than solving the problems.

you’re not fighting, dearie. :-*

QuoteIf I were you, starts solving the problems and stop denying the rights of all the students who are struggling.We could unite  you know, join our forces, as clevers, in tackling these  unjust problems of our society.

if you were me, then i would be you, spouting, foaming in the mouth like a rabid dog.  :-X

QuoteSince you are the one in the Philippines, you could starts by researching what the students complaints are, investigate the complaints if they are being answered, look at the fees, if our students can afford them or not, if not then ask colleges and universities to put it down and follow the trend of the economy and stop putting in more and more profits on their purses.You could do better by doing this, instead of ranting around your useless insults, because it will never touched me, nor I will go down to your level which is a bit too low, knowing that I am married with a foreigner. Go on, research our colleges and universities in Bohol, look at first-hand their facilities, fees, teachers abilities,and talk to all the students, confidentially,without risking them from being thrown out. Compare the fees and the minimum wages in Bohol. Look at the curriculum this year and compared it next year, and count how many students who can't graduate because the colleges/universities are putting more and more subjects, if not, changing the subject's descriptive titles to keep students paying the schools.

whew!  i wish I could just close my eyes and convince myself that no boholana such as you exists.  are you sure you are a human being?  accio!
 
QuoteResearch as well the primary schools-the teachers, students,and their facilities. Examine each of them, and try to find out, what makes our society a Third of the worlds poorest country, because we are, which means, there has to be more problems somewhere, than it exposes.

We all, felt shame from time to time, but in this instance, it is you I am ashamed off by all your denials of the true picture, your rants of insults rather than facing the problems and tackling its solutions, your ignorance about us (Filipinas married with foreigners), your prejudices and  mis-conception towards our intellectual capacity. How wrong and naive you are if you think so. They are the reasons why I am ashamed to call you as my co-Filipino. You will be laughed by us, if you are in front of us, who are cleverer than you think. How one can be so wrong,even given the development of science and modernity of it's environment,but left with the ancient-nity (or insanity) of ideals and opinions such as yours . Such a weakest link, you are. Shame on you!

why you, clever, cleverer and cleverest, laugh yourself rabid if you wish, you are only succeeding in making yourself unbelievably ridiculous, more ridiculous, most ridiculous.  avada kedavra!

Perfectly suited on you rather, as you're stories are far from the truth.The truth of the Third World Country.

Just because you  know a little doesn't mean that you know it all,you know.Some who has first-hand experience knows better and can truthfully tell a story, not like others who twist it to make it looks good.

just because i know a little doesn't mean you know more.  but you are not alone, so cheer up.  there are also those such as you who claim firsthand experience and then resort to condescension just because they believe their lives have improved, materially.  there's no science, by the way, that proves that the brain's ability increases exponentially with one's feeling of material improvement, real or imagined, in their new first world.  :-X

People like you cannot make the world go round, instead they can make it stagnant. Shame on you..

fortunately, unlike you, i have no such grand plans.  but if you believe your kind can make the world go round (as if it would stop going round if you didn't), go ahead, start experimenting first with your snot.  as for shame, have you by chance ever felt it?

I certainly can see that, as you are completely and utterly in the wrong sticks and perhaps, not living at all in the Philippines. Oh well, you can insults as much as you like, but one thing for sure, I have touched your pride, and just like one says " pride can kill".

aahhh, another idiom used the more for wear.  it’s “live out in the sticks” and not “wrong sticks”, dear educator.  i may or may not live in the philippines, but unlike you, i don’t look back to my beginnings with condescension.

oh, if pride can kill, yipeeee, baby, i’m alive!

There are enough proofs but they're just being hidden by their com-padres and com-madres. That is  what's happening in our society. Whether you accept it or not.Complaints in the Philippines are just like throwing needles in the hay-stocks, it will never get answered. Investigations are mis-handled all the time!

whether you accept it or not, some complaints are given due course, some are not.  the operative word here is “sometimes”, not “all the time”. 

by the way, i didn’t know one throws “needles in the hay-stocks” (does “hay-stocks” happen to be the latest addition to london’s ftse 100?).  i thought all along that the idiom is “needle in a haystack”, as in “looking for a needle in a haystack” when one looks for/finds something that’s extremely hard to find.

No! Absolutely not. Based on our experiences, what you said is not what is happening. Sorry, but it's true.

you mean, parents contribute money without knowing why?  fiddlesticks, as they say during england’s victorian era!  based on my own experience with my nine-year-old who’s at school now, i never parted with a cent without knowing why.  to each his own reality…

First is, it is not strange because everyone knew about it, except you of course. What is strange is your total denial of the things,supposedly,can be improved but then can't, because in your eyes Philippine is perfect. I've got news for you, it isn't! Educational system is close to my heart as I am an educator and it pains me to see  people like you, who likes covering up what is not up to standard. Shame...Pity..You are probably the one who's mis-informed hence, you are telling me all of the perfect-lies and full of denials. One cannot progress if one cannot accept imperfections and how to resolved it!

it is strange because we know different things.  stranger still is your total disregard, i’m not saying your total ignorance, of the good things in your country that made you what you are.

Oh, insults doesn't touch me, but to answer it, is to tell you that your writing is very bad. One of the BASIC rules of writing is to make the first letter of every sentence,a CAPITAL! Hence yours is not, then you have just murdered that very basic rule. I hope you agree with me. By the way, a friendly advice, before you complain about Filipinoes writing, please ensure that yours is perfect, which is by far. See, very simple.

you are insulted by a golden toilet seat?  i’m so sorry then, mea culpa, mea culpa.  surely you must have noticed that i did not complain about “filipinoes writing” (i’m a filipinoe too, you know, and unlike some i meet by chance on the internet, i dare not complain about being filipinoe).  all i did was to ask if yours is uk english. ;) 

hehe, my english writing is bad because i don’t use capital letters at the beginning?  look further, and you will see that most of the time i happen not to use capital letters in just about everything, including proper nouns.  it’s called style, in the same manner that you style yourself with an “empire” in some other thread here.  to each his own.  but if it makes you uncomfortable, you can always edit me, e.e. cummings be damned. ;D

I, think you are very out of the stick and, can see both of your ears smoking!lol But to answer your insults with kindness is to say that, I am mainly telling my experiences together with the people that I know, that has the same view-points regarding the topic. Now, hush baby, hush and calm down. You are definitely living in the fairy-land and not the Philippines,a Third World Country..lol

first, when i smoke, the smoke goes out my nostrils and not my ears.  but i can see you spitting fire from your mouth, which is located somewhere in your pretty face.  but lest you forget, you are a third world product, a filipinoe product.

(as always, i regret taking on a discussion, especially when i did so when i was bored, with someone such as you, who’s probably a self-styled educator whose license deserves to be revoked just for thinking the way you do.)

It would be nice to have a free-education for Elementary and high school students just like here in the UK.

yes, it is nice.  we also have free elementary and secondary education here in the philippines.  our public schools are free.

QuoteTeachers should be struck out from their licenses once they have found out that they are asking monetary funds towards the children/students.

of course, licenses are "struck out" from teachers, through due process.  there's got to be a complaint, an investigation, and proof.  then the law will take its course.

QuoteThe fact that PTA or Parents and Teachers Association exist means that children/students can go on learning and not worrying about contributions, penalties, projects, or any school activities that needed funds. Financial expenses must and only be discussed between adults (parents and teachers), as students are in school to learn for brighter future on their own, which then be shared to the community and to the nation by being a productive and a good citizen.

right on!  as far as i know, there are no contributions imposed unless the parents and teachers have agreed after meetings and discussions, otherwise, what parent will pay for something that hasn't been agreed on by a majority?

QuoteSchools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines are being left to govern themselves, which is very disconcerting.

now this is strange.  no school here in my country is ever left to govern itself.  it's either you have never studied here, you are not aware of our educational system, or you are grossly misinformed.

QuoteEven how hard-hitting it is to see by every one, how poor pupils are, school-teachers are still on demands of money-needing activities, penalties, contributions, and bribery.

whew!  is this uk english?

Quote" Ingna imong mama Ondoy/Inday nga mag-amot ta ug para palit ug pintal para sa atong room", they would say to a child/student. Buildings and infrastructures are not responsibility of the parents, more so to a child/student. It is the government for the public school, and the owner for the private one.

When one build a business and offer services,one must provide all necessary equipments for its production and administration for its clients/users. You cannot just put a toilet without a rubbish bin, running water, toilet paper, etc.Because if you don't that toilet even how new it is, sooner than later, it will become un-usable. My point is that any maintenance should be charged on to its owner, or for the public, it's the government.

Colleges and universities, I am disgusted to its owners/operators. They don't seem to have a standard of subjects, they can change, add, re-invent a new subjects with no problems at all. Curriculum keeps on changing, infacts, they've been adding more subjects (unnecessary to the course) all the time. Year after year, they are adding more and more, and it seems to be no difficulty in them in doing so. There has been no control of standard in education. Private colleges and universities can do what-ever they like. Charges students gigantic fees, and miscellaneous for maintaining the toilets! ( as one examples). Although every body says, the toilets never been maintained and that students already paid that as part of their fees!.

you don't know the philippines.  but you do sound like someone who failed to learn about school toilets or the school you attended had golden toilet seats.

QuoteI could not say that teachers are very well informed, experienced and skilled as well. I could say more about them and their bad moral values and incompetence. It's just not good enough really. The DepEd should come out from their hidings (offices) and give these organisations a discipline to help students, parents, communities, and nation to improve its life-styles and progress its development for all Filipinoes, and the new generation to come.

we filipinoes do what we can and, like everywhere else, there are good and bad, competent and incompetent teachers.  most filipinoes though appreciate being filipinoes, unlike some (and i take care to emphasize that they're a minority) who end up living abroad, like in a western country, for one reason or other, usually by an accident of marriage, and then they take on some kind of superior stance and start to malign anything about filipinoes.  all i can say is that, unlike potatoes and tomatoes, you can take the girl out of the country but you can never take the country out of the girl.     

QuoteFree Education !
Free Learning!
Free-Poverty!

higher education is never free, but one can opt for minimal tuition in one's choice of school, at least here for us, filipinoes.  learning is free for everyone, in or out of school.  as for poverty, it was never for sale.

p.s.  suffice it to say that i feel silly tackling your treatise this way, but i'm in the mood for having fun.  i hope for your kind understanding.  or, as british english may probably have it, this is to inform your good person that herein i offer my due respects but for the glaring misconstruction by someone on exile in an empire of faded glory that once had dominion over palm and pine.  ;)

whether the former president is guilty or not, it would be nice to watch the law take its course.

Amy Winehouse, 27, found dead at her London flat


By Sarah Bull

Last updated at 5:54 PM on 23rd July 2011


London Ambulance Service found singer at 3.54pm but unable to save her life
Police treated death as 'unexplained'


Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London, it has been reported.

The Back To Black singer was apparently found at the property in by emergency services at 3.54pm this afternoon, according to sources, and her death is being treated as 'unexplained' by police.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: 'Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.


Picture of health: Amy was spotted out
and about in London earlier this month


'On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.

'Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.’

It is not known whether Amy’s father Mitch actually knows about his daughter’s death and Sky News have confirmed that he is currently on a plane to New York to take part in a Jazz festival.

Winehouse had been seen with her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield earlier this week as the teenager took to the stage at the iTunes festival.

She refused to join in for Mama Said, but did support the 14-year-old with a few dance moves before urging the crowd to buy Dionne's new album Good For The Soul.

A source said: 'Amy staggered onstage and grabbed the mic to beg the crowd to buy her protege’s new album.'

Winehouse's appearance at the concert came after she cancelled her European tour following a disastrous performance in June when she stumbled onto the stage in Belgrade and gave an incoherent performance appearing very disorientated and removed from reality.

Following the concert which saw fans enraged and the subsequent video that circulated to millions she cancelled the remaining dates of her European tour.

A statement released by the troubled singer's spokesperson said that the singer would be given 'as long as it takes' to recover.


Daddy's girl: Amy was very close to her father Mitch, who is believed not to know about his daughter's death

The statement read: 'Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances.

'Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen.'

Winehouse had been working on her long-awaited new album, the follow-up to her 2006 breakthrough multi-million selling Back To Black, for the past three years.


Singing sensation: Amy had huge hits with tracks including Rehab and Back To Black
and is seen here performing at Glastonbury in 2008


Winehouse has had a troubled life which has included various stints in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction.

In an interview in 2008, her mother Janis said she would be unsurprised if her daughter died before her time.

She said: 'I've known for a long time that my daughter has problems. But seeing it on screen rammed it home. I realise my daughter could be dead within the year. We're watching her kill herself, slowly.

'I've already come to terms with her dead. I've steeled myself to ask her what ground she wants to be buried in, which cemetery. Because the drugs will get her if she stays on this road.

'I look at Heath Ledger and Britney. She's on their path. It's like watching a car crash - this person throwing all these gifts away.'

from another point, the rh bill may be viewed as anti-poor.

please note the following excerpts (as posted by chicogon as « Reply #38 on: July 21, 2011, 01:06:37 AM », Philippine Government | Bohol Politics > Bishops cleared):

I have elsewhere conclusively proved, in an article of Tolstoyan proportions and Kantian acuity, that the bill has only slimmest relevance to reproductive health and women’s empowerment, while Nobel laureate Amartya Sen proved that educating women better empowers them to say “no” to more children than their mates can pay to maintain.

The real and only purpose of the misleadingly labeled reproductive-health bill is to enforce artificial birth control on a rampantly randy colored race through the free distribution of expensive contraceptives (not covered by the Cheaper Medicine Act) to be sold by the giant pharmaceutical firms that are bankrolling the RH bill. There is no birth-control program anywhere in the white world.

The Aquino administration has argued that the same principle forbids the Catholic Church from asserting politically its most cherished beliefâ€"in the priceless sanctity of lifeâ€"against the secular conviction that life is only for those who can afford it and not for those who cannot.

The Aquino administration accused the Catholic Church of violating the separation of church-and-state principle, as much by accepting the PCSO’s money to purchase utility vehicles for social work, as by politically asserting its most cherished belief in the priceless sanctity of human life against the Aquino administration’s opposed view that life is only as good as its economic contribution and drops in value when supply outstrips demand. The Aquino administration believes that religious belief can only find private expression and never political actionâ€"a view that would have denied Cory Aquino the faith-based political power to liberate her people.

Compare that with the dark story which unfolded in Kirkcaldy this week, in which Miss Aitken, a youth worker, became the innocent victim of his mental turmoil.

The court heard she had become deeply concerned about his increasingly violent temper since coming home from the war.

He launched the brutal attack on her in an argument at the home they shared in the town.

Reynolds was accompanied in court by a captain from his regiment. His solicitor, Krista Johnston, said he had gone AWOL for more than four months and his mental health appeared to  have deteriorated.

But she added that ‘all being well he will continue in the Army’. The court heard he could be transferred to another regiment.

Outside court, Miss Aitken, who is no longer in contact with him, said she did not want to speak about the case and was ‘just looking forward to moving on’.

The Combat Stress charity, which has worked with more than 100,000 veterans since it was founded after the First World War, is helping more than 600 British ex-servicemen and women who returned from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Some are so traumatised, or unable to come down from a state of hyper-alertness, that they cannot cope with everyday situations such as shopping in crowds.

Spokesman Neil Cox said the numbers being cared for rise steadily. ‘There is often a long gap, on average just over 13 years, between people leaving the Forces and seeking help. It’s particularly difficult for strong guys or so-called macho men who are less able or willing to accept what would be perceived by them as a weakness.’

But it was a seemingly impossible shot on a Taliban warlord more than 2,000 yards away which launched Cpl Reynolds to military glory.

He hid on a shop roof for three days to wait for perfect conditions to shoot a terrorist commander known as Mula, said to have co-ordinated a series of attacks against British and U.S. troops.

He and a spotter saw a group of five Taliban in the distance. ‘I identified one straight away as the commander because I watched him through the scope,’ he said. ‘When he spoke on the radio, the other one would do what he said. I saw that he had a weapon, an AK47.

‘I have to admit the first round landed next to him. We were so far away that he didn’t even realise he was being shot at.’

With the next shot, Reynolds hit Mula in the chest at a distance of 1,853 metres (6,079ft). It was roughly the equivalent of firing from St Paul’s Cathedral and hitting Lord Nelson atop his column in Trafalgar Square. As he later put it: ‘He’d been given a lead sleeping tablet. I was quite proud of that shot.’

The soldier was separated from  his wife Becca but still in touch with her and their four-year-old son Joshua. At the time she revealed she still phoned him once a week in Afghanistan.

She said she was ‘so proud’ of her hero, who undoubtedly saved many lives through the acts of bravery underlying his celebrated sniper shot. ‘He really takes his job seriously,’ she said. ‘He loves it. He’s really got his head screwed on.’

Downfall of a war hero: Master sniper who took out Taliban chief a mile away faces court for attack on girlfriend

By Paul Harris

Last updated at 12:43 AM on 23rd July 2011


Fall from grace: Christopher Reynolds
was ordered to pay £500 compensation
to his former girlfriend Catherine Aitken
following an attack on her


His selfless bravery and outstanding skill made him a hero of the war in Afghanistan.

Corporal Christopher Reynolds’s repeated acts of gallantry â€" plus an extraordinary sniper shot that took out a Taliban commander from more than a mile away â€" earned him the Military Cross.

But when the Queen presented him with his medal last July, his pride hid a dark depression. The 26-year-old Black Watch sniper commander was battling a breakdown.

This led to a vicious attack on his live-in girlfriend, whom he repeatedly punched in the face before throwing a glass at her.

Had it not been for a judge’s understanding of Cpl Reynolds’s plight, he would today be behind bars.

However ‘the strain of warfare’ and his deteriorating mental health were accepted as being to blame for the assault a month before the medal ceremony on 29-year-old Catherine Aitken, who was said to have been ‘put through hell’.

This week at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court, he was ordered to pay her £500 compensation but avoided a prison sentence.

The harrowing tale of a hero’s descent into depression began after Reynolds, who had already served in Iraq, embarked on a six-month tour of duty with the Black Watch in April 2009.

According to his medal citation, in one incident he stood up in the face of ‘considerable’ enemy fire, emptied his sniper rifle, picked up another one and started firing it â€" then grabbed a machine gun to spray a Taliban strongpoint from a rooftop ‘while fully exposed to enemy fire’. The sniper’s ‘outstanding technical ability’ helped  to credit him with taking out 32 insurgents.

the suspect:


The face of Norway's worst mass murderer?

Anders Behring Breivik, 32, is believed to have committed what looks to be the largest individual shooting massacre in history.

Police had earlier confirmed that seven people were killed as a powerful bomb ripped through central Oslo -- where the prime minister's office and several government buildings are located -- and nine were critically injured.

According to the TV2 channel, the arrested suspect has links to right-wing extremists and possessed two weapons registered in his name.

Prime Minister Stoltenberg said the culprits would not intimidate one of Europe's most peaceful countries.

"People have lived through a nightmare that very few of us can imagine," he said. "The coming days will show who is responsible and what kind of punishment they will get.

"The message to whoever attacked us, the message from all of Norway is that you will not destroy us, you will not destroy our democracy and our ideals for a better world."

Western leaders denounced the attacks and vowed solidarity with NATO member Norway -- an enthusiastic participant in international military missions that has forces in Afghanistan and is participating in air strikes in Libya.

Stoltenberg had been due to give a speech today to the 560 people attending the youth camp on the island.

Reports of the island shooting emerged shortly after a blast tore through the government quarter in central Oslo. Police said a "bomb" had been behind the "powerful explosion".

"There are good reasons to believe that there is a link between the events," police commissioner Sponheim told reporters in Oslo.

Mayor Fabian Stang said the capital was struggling to come to terms with the idea that it had joined the list of cities targeted by bombers.

"Today we think about those people living in New York and London who have experienced this kind of thing," he told Sky.

The prime minister's office and other buildings were heavily damaged, while pavements were covered in broken glass as smoke rose above the wreckage.

A police spokesman said a vehicle had been seen driving at high speed in the area just before the explosion, but did not confirm that the blast had been caused by a car bomb.

Police had sealed off the area and urged residents to stay in their homes.

The Norwegian capital is a well-known symbol of international peace efforts, home to the Nobel Peace Prize and the birthplace of the 1993 Israeli-Palestinian Oslo Accords.

The attacks were the worst in western Europe since the 2004 train bombings in Madrid, which left 191 dead and nearly 2000 injured.

TWIN shooting and bomb attacks left at least 91 dead in western Europe's deadliest carnage since the 2004 Madrid bombings as a Norwegian gunman opened fire at a youth camp and a bomb tore through central Oslo.

The suspect was a 32-year-old Norwegian who posted anti-Muslim rhetoric online, police commissioner Sveinung Sponheim told the NRK television channel, but added: "It's too early to say if this was a motive behind the act."

Police voiced fears that the toll could rise as they searched for victims of the shootings at a summer school meeting organised by Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's ruling Labour Party on Utoeya, an island outside the capital.

Security was meanwhile tightened across potential target sites in the capital, police said, but they lifted an advisory that had urged residents to stay home.

"We have confirmation that at least 84 people are dead.  We do not exclude a higher toll," police spokesman Are Frykholm said, speaking of the shooting spree at the island.
