Mad English setter anyone?!!

Does anyone want a year old orange belton English setter called Jamie? He is very good at destroying things and whining and barking if you leave him alone for 5mins!!
Only joking of course, but oh the past few days have been a real patience tester for me.. I have been off work, after my accident in the woods and of course I am hobbling about and Jamie is using this to full advantage, digging, chewing stones, ripping up paperwork etc.. Oh what fun eh? And the best bit is, he knows I can't chase him and he makes sure he is out of reach of me, so I go hobbling round the garden... oh and he has gone deaf as well, because when I call him in.. he looks the other way!!
Roll on my foot healing I say!!

Hi, I am an (almost) 10 yr old ES called Thalice and I think that Jamie must be one of my trainees ! He hasnt quite got it right yet though. He needs to walk on the work surfaces, raid the bin, open the microwave, fridge and cupboards. He needs to pinch and eat loaves of bread and learn how to decoy you into leaving your shopping so that he can pinch the cakes. He also needs to know how to rip the fence apart with his bare teeth and escape to the golf club and walk round all their worksurfaces too. He needs to run away so that he is over the horizon to give you heart failure and he needs to learn to ignore you completely and do exactly as he pleases.
He also needs training in swimming in all the right places - like the slurry on the beach or in the SSSI were noone (except English Setters) are allowed. Then he needs to start training others to do the same.
