  3. If Sweden can do it ? The SD party (obviously labelled Neo Nazi by the BBC !) has just had 1 in 5 Swedes vote for it and are now the king maker party in Sweden with 73 MPs. Swedes have had enough……hopefully that gives confidence to other party’s and voters. Sweden election: How an ex neo-Nazi movement became kingmakers WWW.BBC.COM A long-time pariah, the Sweden Democrats are now the country's second-largest party.

  4. Not entirely true mate but close enough......it was actually called a " Scratch in turn " contest......so as soon as a dog turned its head and shoulders away,the opponents handler would call a " turn " on the dog and it would be that dog to scratch ( scratch meaning to cross the pit and at least mouth the other dog in order to show willingness to continue )......it then became a " scratch in turn " contest but you could only pick a dog up when out of holds a lot of it would become very tactical a good handler would choose his moments carefully and a really good handler like the gent mentioned

  6. So many dogs were ruined in those early days as youngsters we all just thought they was machines im sure you will have read bits about this young lad we was literally rolling him out every other weekend from the minute he was on at 10 months !....its hard to admit but he wasnt far off " abused "....people said he stopped in his 4th which he did but the dog was shot to pieces before he was even fully mature.....hard one to accept and you live and learn but i hope he's had a whale of a time up there in bulldog heaven.

  9. A lot of dogs will die after fights as sometimes a dog will be aloud to go past the point of no rerturn so to speak , any good dog handler should no if his dog is out matched and beaten, then he could ask who ever he was matching if he could scratch after ( so if your dog was beat and you new it you can step in pick your dog up and then scratch one l’art time to see if your dog was still game to continue by crossing the pit and taking hold of the other dog , that way the dog goes down as 1 x LG ( lost but still game ) . Some lads tho didn’t give a shit about there dogs , some lads had better m

  14. I think we are ready but need a new strong alternative party, someone to stick there head above the parapet and tell it how it is but without a past linked to bnp type politics ?

  15. FOMO driving it. Seeing a lot of the mass hysteria we seen with Diana, albeit her death at a young age shocked people more. How the fcuk can someone travel from another country that doesn’t even have a monarchy, and wind up blubbing on live TV about someone they didn’t know, and who never even knew they existed? Talk about ‘sheeple’. Seen the BBC described yesterday as ‘MournHub’. That’s about right IMO.

  16. I'm not surprised that the Swedes have become pissed off with what their politicians have allowed to happen to parts of their country - that vote is a step in the right direction. We need it here aswell ??

  17. I've had it myself mate, scary when you flip one over. My old college teacher broke ribs when quad sat on him. Makes you realise, sometimes just gotta steady up a bit. I'm world's worst, always rushing through one job to race to next. But I was talking to a lad on SD that got burnt from tractor radiator exploding on him, after week's of ignoring lights... I'm trying to be more safe, for family sake. Take care mate cos there's only one of you and you'd be missed. Probably. Shit that was all a bit nice for me..... you probably rolled it cos

  21. I used a quad for years and I rolled it on me once . But it was my fault , I traversed a slope sideways which is a no no . Provided you are sensible they are brilliant. A mule or gator would be my preference as you keep dry and can cart more kit and feed around . But a couple of years ago it rained non stop and the mule kept bottoming out and sliding around and I wished I had a quad .

  22. I hate quads, nearly lost one down the side of a Scottish hill with a big hind on the back! The shouldn't have handle bars but a steering wheel instead. Bloody dangerous and when it rains you get soaked. Junk. If I had a shoot to look after I'd ask for an old jimney! Glad your ok. If nettles stings are bad take a sprig of thistle, lay it in the crotch of your pants and pull them up quickly. No more nettle stinging!

  31. Money will always play its part and only an idiot would pretend deaths didnt and dont happen in the sport but the vast majority of dogs who take their death do so because of bad medical care afterwards....so many dogs have been lost by people who learned everything about breeding and conditioning but never learned fully how to doctor a dog afterwards....obviously shock kills more fighting dogs than anything else and you'd be amazed how many people who match dogs dont know how to deal with it. But at a guess you'd probably estimate under 20% of dogs are lost directly.

So we have worked out that they love a wander in the sunshine, I pulled up in the back yard and there was bloody loads on the stubble, so the first mission was to get the bike out and run round to the bottom of the field, I took the bike out wide around them and they all headed to the wood/tip drive, I then took the bike back to the bottom of the field and preceded to walk the edge of the wood and push between 70 and 90 birds into the beast field, these then set off up the fence towards the pen, while I was walking the wood I could hear quite a few in it so I went out into the field and back t

  44. I dont think they paid a lot of attention to size back then mate....gameness came first and nothing else really mattered....besides which the dog is going against a dog its own size anyway but a 20" 45 lb dog is plenty big enough to keep active. Bird are you aware of some sort of Staffordshire Bull Terrier museum up the black country somewhere.....a few folk have told me about it i just wondered whether its worth a quick visit next time im up that way.

  46. No offence here, but I personally think the folk that jumped on the bandwagon with black dogs just never seen the proper white terriers work.... its just a fact... I know many men who kept good black terriers the best of lines from the best from 87 on but they all loved seeing a good Russell work... miles ahead of the black terriers and could do it with more class... and way more placid in temperament but if the switch is flicked..totally different terrier....now forward 30 years and I know more men now who prefer the Irish white terrier over blacks all day long.. and I don't mean your standa
