We I thought I'd let you know how I got on meeting greyman. Drove and met him at his, quick cuppa and we were off down the motorway to meet 2 witnesses who had, had an incounter with what they believed was a big cat..... Arrived at the address and were met by an old couple (late 60's maybe older) the old boy a keeper then took us to the spot along with his wife..... We spent a few hrs chatting and setting up trailcams next to a pond and along runs in the hedges being used by the deer etc( to be fair it was alive, plenty of food) added bonus of a few carcasses in the hedges which we collected

Some of Bruce's litter and his sister's litter

Young dog for next season

Since retirement I have dabbled with a bit of painting and drawing, and largely enjoyed it. Done all sorts of subjects (except hunting scenes) in watercolour, oil paint and a few graphite drawings. Last couple of years I've not been able to find the enthusiasm to restart. I have tried different styles as well, even had a go at the Bob Ross method in oils. I have sold a few and done a few commissions for people and given a fair few away. Did a watercolour doberman for my brother Done my son's dog some years back and sent it out to Aussie for him

Listen ... There's nothing native to this country that can strip a carcass like the photographic evidence he has gathered and been sent, I've seen the dates and locations with my own eyes, I couldn't give a rats arse what any cnut on here thinks of me...... I got off my arse and took him up on his offer..... I'm glad I did..... Not my place to blurt it out on here as there's a bigger picture. Believe what you want kid..... I said I'd meet him and let you know how I got on? and I have so enjoy another pages of picking holes in my posts?I be sat here smug at what I know some folks on here woul

Beddy/whippet X grey, proper flying machine, had her faults but put some decent game away, 23"

No mate just pointing out what seemed blatantly obvious. He said he's seen enough to convince himself, and enough to understand why he [GM] won't post it. Reading between the lines he will honour that confidence by not breaking it. For the record, I won't be convinced until I see the credible evidence. I'm sat on a giant stack of joke books until then.

These 'man up and show her who's boss comments' are all well and good but the article paints this bloke as vulnerable due to his condition...I sure as hell ain't gonna look down on the bloke for not cracking his missus one in the jaw.

It reminds me of Educating Rita...she was married & worked as a hair dresser ..her old man wanted the stereotypical family & sat night in the pub having a sing song with the family...she wasnt happy just plodding on doing what was expected of her so she went to night school ... she had to hide her contraceptive pills from him & he found them ... he also burnt her books to stop her studying ...its simply a form of control I wanted to do a diploma in criminology but I knew if i had booked the course it would have been a nightmare .... I will do it before I get to senile ... wo

He landed Saturday. 8 weeks old on the nose. So far clean in house, bang on basic commands. Sit, leave, down. Crys like a bitch when left though hates his crate, tough love he will be right enough. Other 2 older dogs will play with him outdoors but give a growl indoors if he gets in there faces, but no snapping ect. Happy with him. Onwards and upwards. Not nervy infact a confident outgoing strong pup.

In a recent post I put up, I met up with a guy called Jonesy who I took out with me to give a few tips on ferreting; he asked about the type of dog I would recommend, I said hard to go wrong with a whippet stag x mate, he just picked up this little 9 week old beauty, from working stock from a mobile butcher in Bendigo, great looking bitch pup, he will be out with me again this Thursday, will be good to get a good look at it.

Trial run started running in the new garden equipment ?

Or maybe smart enough to make up my own mind on the evidence in front of me ? I'm to old to be buying dreams Don, leave that for the kids on here?gave you my opinion on the matter, I'm not on commission and didn't get fiddled and cohursed

No, we melt when the wifi goes off...

100 % spot on John, I can only draw from personal experience & I couldn't confide in anybody because I knew he would make my life a misery if I did. & I didnt know if he would harm the kids, that unspoken threat loomed over me 24/7 ... I think people think you have to be beaten to a pulp for it to be abuse & control issue. Things like him hiding my sons asthma meds & then them re appearing & him saying it was there all the time & it was my hormones & my baby brain.... he stood over me while I ate, he prepared food & he went through the bins incase I had had

My ex missus had teeth and they never kept her mouth inline

I am not being abusive or controlling. I am simply asking a question. I think to draw on personal experience is relevant in a debate like this. Domestic violence is something you never ever forget. I'm nearly 70 and still get flashbacks and nightmares from my experiences as a kid. Plenty of others are in the same boat. Controlling behaviour is sometimes obvious but often insidious. I remember our whole family being on edge as soon as my dad walked in the door. In fact I think his criticism and evil moods were worse than the actual violence. Seriously, bruises can heal but never ending criticis

BH I think you are making light of a huge problem. Controlling behaviour is not just being occasionally critical or cruel. It's a method of destroying another human being. Slowly drip by drip over time. It's mostly perpetrated by men but as your example shows also by women. If some evil creep can be stopped before his behaviour escalates to violence then I welcome the new law. Check out the stats below. https://www.refuge.org.uk/our-work/forms-of-violence-and-abuse/domestic-violence/domestic-violence-the-facts/

It's nothing by definition. Can you remember all those years before you were born? No. It's like that but afterwards.

The History Channel did a bit on Kubrick and they interviewed Ermey about his role. I don't think he actually acted any of it. It was just how he did it when he was with recruits. He opened up about his time as a drill instructor and told about how much pressure they were under to get them battle ready for Vietnam. He mentioned that they'd check the obituaries to see if any of their lads were killed in country and you can tell it was genuinely moving for him. Decent bloke by all accounts.

Took a walk after work with my little springer a hw99. It's been layed up all winter and I had forgotten what a nice to carry and shoot air rifle it was, so much so I continued plinking when I got home! Oh, and bagged a couple of birds too. U.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/04/16/controlling-girlfriend-first-woman-convicted-new-domestic-abuse/ I get that she was probably a shitty human being and the charges of GBH and assault are unquestionably valid. But "controlling behaviour"..... really? This seems like one of those dangerous laws that will be abused and simply shifts the burden of being a f***ing adult onto someone else. Maybe I'm being a c**t, which is why I have posted this. But surely we should expect folks to have the strength and character to take on the responsibility for their own lives and have t

Agreed. We've had some decent threads in here recently. We could go in Running Dogs and argue about grassing instead...

Everyone on here has got differing opinions mate. No need for the playground bollocks

Glad to see everyone confident. As for myself not to sure that I will be going that way and not the other. I live in hope. All the very best for one and all.

my mrs wouldn't let me go on a stag do to Amsterdam i dont know why i may press charges lol

the inner city kids are running rings around the old bill , its a game to them .they wouldnt be so fkn cocky after 30 lashes with the birch that would steady them up abit ..

Pity the tories are closing down Women' refuges. These refuges are really needed. The one place where women can be safe from violent/abusive partners. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/tory-changes-domestic-violence-refuge-11606629

Controlling comes in many guises , example woman & bloke have kiddie... relationship breaks up, woman uses child to control bloke, denies him access unless he adheres to '' her'' rules... its control.... woman is homemaker , bloke keeps her short of money, she is pretty much tied to the house... with no car or money to use public transport... its control Take it from me being in a relationship where control is a daily occurrence it breaks you down over time..... most unpleasant scary time of my adult life , this woman is clearly not right & deserved to be sentenced

There have always been, and always will be, people who control others either through a sense of their own inadequacy or simply because they're evil b*****ds, or bitches. Put the quoted scenario into a medieval setting and the guy would probably have been dead a long time before, most likely at the hands of his peers: get rid of the weakling in the pack. Actually, scrub that, he would probably have been a slave, much the same as he was in the hands of that woman. Unfortunately, sticking her in prison won't do anything to stop this kind of thing happening again. We are all properly outraged at w

mark you dont half come up with some sh*t at times

Everything looks like it has no teeth with the mouth closed......

todays outing

Those small to medium sized hunters,...created from a Whippet /Collie and Greyhound mix, are often just right, for the hedgerow rabbiting...

This is the end of the Season. Badger hunting is closed until middle of May. Very nice week-end.

Why does the French terrierman like a big dug hole? Because he always digs with a pickaxe and so he needs a big place. On the other hand, he spots the dog with a bar. It's not always very precise. A large hole reduces the risk of digging in the wrong place. Moreover, he isn't hurry and he isn't alone in digging. Over here, a very good dug hole is : rectangular, straight walls, sharp angles, broken behind the dog or just above. The best is flat bottom at the bottom of the gallery before taking the dog. One search, one dog, one badger. Honestly, We don't dig like this ea
