  1. Used the boards to make the base rail for my balustrade... designed the rails with a mate to fabricate, bit of work in drilling and shaping the boards, but came up well...got an oak top rail to finish...

  2. This terrier was a more than a competent ferreting dog. Not a job he was bred or really trained for but just took to everything. Particularly useful in places where rabbits were thin on the ground, or rather the easy ones had long since been hunted out. If you can't find them you cant catch them. Would dearly loved to have put him over a whippet but never got around to it. Carried on grafting until the age of 12, above ground anyway, and even then wasn't showing signs of slowing down much until the big C got him. A very happy 12 years.

  8. Now I love to wind someone up as much as any man, but there are limits. so i say this in serious mode. Think about what you have written and then think about this, if the greyhound is at full speed on the runup, regardless of that speed, and the hare gains on it, even if its just for a few yards, then the hare is going faster at that point, common physics. Next point how do they do it, well they maintain there speed longer than the hare can, the more stamina they have the longer they run. After all Beagles catch hares, your not going to tell anyone a beagle is faster than a hare I h

  15. A greyhound has definitely got more speed than a hare and would catch any hare than continued to run in a straight line as long as it’s got a mouth, it’s the hares agility, stamina and acceleration out of the turns which makes it hard to catch

  16. what people are trying to say greb is when the hare wants to accelerate at that point it is hitting speeds like a greyhound it’s how long they keep that speed up why after halftime a minute does the hare straight line a greyhound because the grey can’t keep its top speed up

  18. Hares only run as fast as they need to, sometimes they get it wrong and they get taken on the run up before the first turn.

  20. Every country has their own pest problems, some unique, some not so unique. I believe that it is only Australia and New Zealand that share the problem of Wallabies as pests. New Zealand has a policy of total eradication - if only it can be achieved. Australia has a bit more of a difficult problem with them as they are not an introduced invasive pest there but an indigenous mammal and also regarded by some, as a national treasure. That said, they still have a huge impact on pastureland. Unfortunately here in New Zealand, wallabies have acclimatised well and possibly thrive better here than

  30. Just did a quick calculation based on the time it takes a top non-ped Whippet to run 150 yards, in my mind the fastest dog over that distance, and the terminal velocity is just a fraction under 38 mph. Hope this helps ! ??! Cheers.

  32. One time I was in NZ , around 30 years ago, and I saw an advertisement in a vets window for Government cullers for 'possum. It was a very basic wage, with subsistence allowance and bonus per kill, living in a shack in the bush. I thought " that would do for me, but reading the small print it was mainly baiting traps with 1080. See if you can get hold of Barry Crumps book "A Good Keen Man", it's all about pig, goat, deer cullers in the 50's in NZ, a great read. Cheers.

  35. To be fair, there's small pockets of folk dotted around the planet that actually want nothing to do with the modern world - they live in harmony with nature and, they probably have skills that we have long since forgotten. I'm stuck in the rat race, chasing little bits of paper with numbers and some old girls picture on them so that I can pay old c**ts whatever they say I owe them. It does make me wonder some times.
