Went to Crown Court today for the final adoption certificate. In 2021 my lad and his wife lost their Daughter my only grandchild of 18 months after trying for a kid for nearly 10 years. Seeing my son and his wife's hurt was hard and of course the wife and I were devastated not being Grandparents. As it was an ultra rare genetic thing they decided to go down the adoption rout. Well after over a year of foster to adopted a long drawn thing. Finally the last rubber stamp so to speak I'm a Granddad to a lovely little Lad. To say I'm over the moon would be a massive understatement.

Totally agree, but my rather off the cuff attempt at a joke was in fact deadly serious…..now this is just my personal opinion and has been my firm belief for 23 years…. Some things you can’t buy….no matter how much to earn….as in no amount of money can pay for it. Someone mentioned Bill Gates, well with that 10 million a day he can’t buy 5 minutes ago….just cant ! He can’t buy any sports day he missed with the kids (if the horrible looking c**t even has kids)…..he can’t buy the day he never took off in order to just sit in the garden with his family and just soak up being around

Look.out here come the real ale twats

Bit of BBQ'ed Rump tonight. Cheers Arry

Thank Lads. been dry for three months but tonight I'm having a few Whisky's Cheers Arry

Burgers and sweet potato fries, grass fed beef.

These are the ones that was mute but the bitch with the young dog was nice and steady,the old dog I lost to ground in winter when we broke through he was dead.I think he had a fit of something so I put the young dog in to finish both foxes this was about 25yrs ago.ive had borders 37yrs now and never fancied any other breed.

Dead right....that has literally just happened to me.....long drive home today from down south ....busting my hump for 3 weeks...Mrs called me half hour from getting home....why don't you come straight to the park ...kids are playing from just finishing school....f**k me I thought...I just want to get home...but I went of course....and of course I'm glad I did loads of kids playing...its a beautiful park and in a beautiful little village...my boys runs over for a hug ....as does my grandson....my boy is then telling me one of the notts forest players is on the park with his family surrounded b

I never met the owner but I know lads over Carlisle way that said it’s true. Most of us used the non-peds as “dual purpose” dogs back then, racing and hunting. I don’t know one non-ped owner now who would risk their dog by hunting now . Getting their dogs ready for the big races is all they think about now. This one of mine, back in the late 60’s, Blue Prince, (Blue Boy x Zarwood), won plenty races, had no trouble with hares, and took the odd roe. Cheers.

That’s lovely, congratulations to your family, it’s a beautiful thing to be able to give that little lad the life every child deserves

You wanna wear a hat out in the sun … it’s fried your brain ..

Something just occurred to me…..blokes who may have 25 years left to live discussing long term investments ! lol

These are coming on well and are as fit as fire from all the hikes up the wainwrights and climbing 4000ft and 14miles,the little shits would go around again when ya get back to the car as I can’t tire them

Alright calm down ffs

Boys been swimming..... Steak.

Congratulations Arry,little lad couldn't have a better grandad!

Moments of joy mate can’t put a price on that! I’m blessed that ten years hard graft carried me through the 3 bad years of addiction and pain and chaos now 18 months down the line I’ve still got work that pays very very well I can graft all week do my recovery get kids every weekend and take time of to work dog come winter Used to be far more driven but was another addiction to work then the ego comes in then it becomes to much and burns to the ground simple life now and fully present when I have the kids watching them grow up they don’t need hundred spent on them or care what ca

sound lol still got to catch em and dodge the land owners and the lads have some of the spots lol a lot easier when you could a been talking to them park in spots that bring no attention like farm yards lol but i wish you luck car spotted drone up greb in the paper first season lol lol

True wilf very much so, I have nt really missed much in the way of kids growing up, obviously working a lot and I’d love to chill out in the garden with family etc, that’s what the weekends for, no point sitting with friends if you got no dollar for a bit of scran and nice drinks.my kids would rather go on decent holiday than have me at every event. My lads into shooting , I spoil the little bugger and spend £10,000 a year on it . He learns respect, and meets people all over the uk so it money well invested and I enjoy going along . I sometimes see the ole dole queue gang walking along with th

Because your a prick and haven’t got a pot of glue what’s going on outside your window there is no labour shortage but a wage shortage brought on by you and lardarses boat friends why should a nurse have the responsibility of life and death and earn less than a cleaner in Lidl ffs now go and lick your window you rem

That’s the old saying that goes around about borders mate from these videos there’s idiots that’s never owned 1.I always say treat them like a lakie patterdale or Russell pups they will work from a early age.But if you listen to the loons and leave them in a kennel until they are 3yrs old you have ya work cut out.I think a lot of people want world beaters in lurches or terriers by the time they are 11mths old mate.A lot of terriers that’s smashed to bits and never rest 100% jack because there wounds are still sore to the touch just like what happens to us.If left a few months to heal properly

It's not that bloke who got clumped think out ferreting?and everyone sent him binos ? Just clearing a bit of space

The minute,you start crossing borders or county lines...pulled in on a conspiracy...your gonna get more than a slap on the wrist... travelling through Asia/UAE with anymore than a few spliffs is not the brightest of moves....make your bed,and you have to lie in it....there are some extremely stupid and greedy folks out there...f**k em I say

They should put her in nic for 20 years just for being from Billingham !

Everybody wanna be a drug dealer but don't nobody willing to do no heavy ass jail!

My dog retrieving fish back

Well that's cheered me up, I've a good mind to ask WILF if I can borrow his shotgun

Got hen sat on eggs your welcome to pair when hatch mate

Then rhe blackness kicked in and they didnt get up and go to work, lay in bed, started taking drugs, robbing people, and carrying knives, demanding we give them handouts, benefits and dont challenge them on it or we will call you racist, remember you called, we came, but dont remember making you any promises

Really looking forward to this Fisher/Allen fight tomorrow its good to see big domestic fights like that particularly at heavyweight reminds me of some of the big domestic heavyweight bouts of the 80's......no thrills,neither fighter ever going to be on the world stage just good honest tough men going in to find out the championship of each other.....love that sort of stuff.

Cheers pal fancy a crack at this myself. Never done a great deal of fishing. And I think this would suit me for a bit of sport on the canals near me

Day off today, so while the cleaner ( mother-in-law ) is hard at work I thought I’d come and have breakfast with the pensioners

Nice pair lurchers i was always told they were slow to enter due to maturing late but I never really found that to be the case they weren't much different to some other terriers I knew some just mature quicker than others how did you find them lurchers

He was caught with an ounce,that’s what sealed his fate,the girl just caught in Georgia actually transited through the UAE with her duty free goods,if she had been caught there with her suitcase she would have been really goosed.

Yes,your not allowed to smoke in public,but in reality no one actually strictly follows that rule,it's Thailand,in the good old bad old days you would see the inside of a Thai prison for smoking a spliff,how times have changed.

I tried Lizzy 3 times first with a border of some lad in Cheshire I think his name was Gordon he bred Wheaton greyhounds and twice with monty a very good black dog she never took but like your bitch she was mute and to hard some times she got bashed up but a good bitch to have about shame she never took

Young lad has his first race this Saturday 130 miles , we have only just come out of flockdown last week so we'll be hind with training but will send his best 2 and see what happens

Dodger , she's very like the red devil pal

Sad thing is that unscrupulous Saudis pretend to be philanthropists and tell Pakistani workers “I’ll pay for your family to come to Mecca to do the Haj.” When the family are about to board the plane in Pakistan, they are told, “oh, by the way, just take this suitcase with you”. If they get through, everyone’s a winner; if they don’t, they get chopped, the Saudi is out a few Riyals ! Moral ? “No such thing as a free dinner” ! Cheers.

Hopefully write a great book ,love reading them (pardus you can get audio versions !) Grim accounts, poverty, starvation, brutality, and how people cope with it

Bit of purple spray and he be fine

Play silly games win silly prizes.

Nice evening for it...

I opened this thread yesterday after not being on here for a week or so and thinking I must have misread the title. I read the first post, closed the computer down and went for a long walk up Windmill Hill. There was a hare at the top and I wondered if he believed in reincarnation. I only met Phil a handful of times, maybe a little more, but I learnt a lot on those few occasions, particularly when he once borrowed the two ferrets I had at the time to get one of his previous 'cur dogs' started (I think it might have been Dusty). However, despite his standing in the lurcher world, my o

I always liked the idea of owning a campsite... I rember camping at malam in the dales years ago...just a field...with a toilet block... I counted over 50 tents that day....set my mind thinking....of course like anything I'm sure there's more to it....but back then 30 year ago...I thought f**k me this is a simple easy earner
