Good to hear some conversation regarding Whippets...? When I first came South from my native Wales, we settled in Portsmouth... There was a long tradition of poaching/mouching style of roustabout hunting in the area. It seemed as everywhere I wandered, I encountered lads with whippets. In my opinion,..Whippets (Ped and Non-Ped) and Rabbiting,.... go together like Apple Pie and Cream,...I loves 'em..?

I haven't seen my five year old grandson in over a year, but I get daily photos and videos, and a couple of times a week he calls us on Skype. This technology is fantastic. I can remember having to book an international call home to my missus a day in advance, then have to wait in line for my name to be called out when there was a connection, two minutes on a crackly line and cost a fortune. Letters would take two weeks, if they got to me at all ! So little things that we take for granted now, make me very happy ! Cheers.

I love hunting rabbits in these cold conditions. Finding them in the briers sheltering from the wind. Sneaking about avoiding the twigs. I missed plenty but got two in the end. One sat 30yds and one at 3yards! I cant get over the number of walkers about! They are everywhere and its disturbing ☹

That's a hard one mate. Ive been tempted to get a non-ped, as I would have a go at the racing again, and the peds simply can't live with the non-peds at racing. If the racing didn't work out, a non-ped would do what I want in the field these days; lamping, and the odd day time hare and roe. Thats not to knock the peds, I think what they lack in blistering speed, ( I know, I know, speed isn't everything), they make up for in stamina that the non-peds may lack. By far the best ped I've seen was Mally's Vixen. I've seen her run all night in atrocious conditions and take big ba

Scotland beat england ?

Just been down the market and seen someone selling the Oxford vaccine for £2 a jab or 3 for a pfizer .. ????

Cold, wet and windy here, has been for weeks. But spring is only weeks away now. Going to knock together a couple of nest boxes tomorrow, it’ll soon be that time again. As for all the nonsense on here, and especially the covid. I’ve been trying to avoid it, too much negativity from the usual suspects. I just reckon some are born to sit on the sidelines criticising all and sundry, and some just get on with the business in hand. The moaners have the loudest voice, cos that’s all they fcukin do, the others go quietly about making shit better. Brighter days are just around the corner, of that

Another good dig for the young bitch.

Worked all weekend but really happy...I mean I was very happy.... maybe lighter evenings, bit of sun, things starting to take shape, the wife is happy...who knows...

There's a lad on here who, along with his family, owned some of the fastest non-peds ever to grace a track. Twice within recent years he offered to gift me a pup. Not long ago I was gifted a Teckel pup by another member on here., they sell for stupid money. Another member on here offered me a pup bred from his Beddy/grey, again for free. Theres still a lot of people who would rather gift a pup to like minded people, than be in it just for the money. Cheers.

Managed a little mooch on my day off last week ? Seems like the grouse are taking over the world just now with nobody to shoot the buggers, but sat on a rock in the middle of nowhere listening to so many of them do their muppet impersonations is amusing ?

A non-ped whippet I had in the early 70's; Equaly at home racing or working. As can be seen by his "pedigree", he had that bit of collie a couple of generations back. Sadly shot by a 'keeper whilst coursing a hare. Cheers.

When my grandson calls, he's in such a rush to tell me everything all the words come tumbling out until he settles down. The other day it was "chocolate strawberry pizza pepperoni minecraft fortnite avengers" Evidently that's his favourite meal, favourite games and favourite film ! The missus and I laugh just thinking about him, a very bright spot in an otherwise bleak time. Cheers.

The lockdown stay at home rules don't apply unless you are going shooting. If you wear a kagool and tresspas its totally ok ?

American style pancakes with butter fried bananas and a himalayan salted caramel sauce . ?

Thought I would be up the hills more with this one but lockdown has put a stop to that. He’s knocked a few things up local but nothing to shout about.

Lemon chicken and rice.

Well that cheered the thread up ???

My new chair has just been delivered

I've seen some beautiful Plummer style terriers..? Gorgeous, fiery Red and white marked tykes,..lovely wee things. They look ideal for getting into those tight, dense bramble patches, for the rabbits. Been offered some nice pups over the years, ( once even saw a Brindle coloured one)..but, on every occasion, I just couldn't do it....I just couldn't?

It wasn't really cake ,it was banana bread that my granddaughter made ,and we were in the garden because my gang are stickers for the social distance thing ,and I only had some because my granddaughter ( aged eight )had just asked me to explain Zenos paradox to her ,so I shoved some in my mouth to gain thinking time .

Ex HW champ of the world and Olympic gold medalist. The only fighter to take the title off Ali in the ring. His name is Spinks though. ?

Nuthatch

Very bad fault in my book fighters.

Why would he want a f***ing American rat terrier??

Thats because they like to keep thir bullshit to themselves.

It's in the Sunday mail today. Almost all the Scots team and nearly half the English team refused. Cheers.

Even in cold easterly winds a 22 and hv ammo is good.

A few weeks on after her jabs and out for a walk with my grandson

Best thing to do is go in and have a feel, see what feels right for yourself. Some rifles just feel right and you'll make it work! Then buy the tikka ?
