I had no idea what to call this topic.A few weeks ago I had a notion that saltwater striped bass would migrate from a lake up a long winding creek.This creek is 70 miles from my house and I haven't explored it before but I couldn't let go of this idea.I assumed I could catch one.After several days of walking and kayaking I hadn't caught any.I did learn some history and meet some critters along the way. After several days of making the long drive.Walking and kayaking until my body hurt.I began to wonder why I am so stubborn.Why couldn't I just admit that I was wrong.Satu

Just had conformation of my six monthly MRI scan, I'm all clear next scan in 12 months time

Few pics of pup from earlier, already starting to come out her shell, god hop is in a few days haha she real confident

It's been a good one! Had a few new places to go at

Going through some old pics .for over 30 years ive kept bushers ,from sealyhams to spaniel crosses, failed earthdogs that were real ens for bushing when we were younger , ive had the privilege to own some real good bushers and dedicated any free time to these little warriors. Ive been up and down the country and over to ireland with bushers and lurchers and had some cracking weekends.

That’s the mother, I won’t put pictures of the dog as I used a buddies dog for an outcross this time. We knocked a litter out of this bitch to her half brother near two years ago and there all shaping up well so hopefully more of the same this time round.

A man is rich by the things he can live without mate, im with you my kids and grand kids all live within an 100 yards of me and im never happier than sitting out on the grass cooking for all and sundry watching the little ones fish and play while the adults sit round a fire chewing the cud costs fa bar the grub and is more fulfilling than any car or holiday money can buy

Is it just me because I’m weird as f**k or can anyone else just genuinely not tolerate lateness ?? Like, with me, it’s to the point that I get genuinely f***ing enraged ! I don’t understand it at all, I never wait, I don’t try and call, I just drive away if it’s a mobile thing but with things you can’t drive away from, I absolutely want to do the person damage ! Just be minimum 5 minutes early…..it’s not f***ing hard. Id be ashamed to conduct myself like that where I can’t even manage to tell the f***ing time.

Mrs Stav’s mate round for dinner today so I’ve had to posh it up a bit, went for pot roast beef, gravy made from the pot, cream mash, carrot and turnip mash, sage Yorkshire puds, thyme roast spuds, cabbage cheese with panko breadcrumbs ( same as cauliflower cheese but with white cabbage) and a bit of veg

This week on benefits Britain this hull family catches there own dinner with there lurchers

Imagine a fully grown man been seen riding around on that faggot

60 horses 335 cattle and around 30 hounds here bangers 3 patterdales also. I’m a busy man have no time to potter around on a pushbike wearing shorts and runners like a young lad. You’ve been slack at the work since you pointed the wall with the catapult that time

12 years ago on a train back from Paris after an extremely nice week visiting the city, eating some outstanding meals in great places and generally having the best time money could buy…..I said to myself “hold on, would I tolerate this f***ing scam off a private person ?” Fact is, if the it wasn’t the government nobody would tolerate being ripped off so much to just be abused….and it is abuse, there’s no other word for it, it’s total and utter abuse done under the illusion of wealth. And that wealth is an illusion most of the time, most of it is on someone’s book…..that’s how th

Rack of yearling Roe doe…..5 minutes on the barbecue…spot on .

Need I say more

Went back to Essex for another go at finding a big tooth but still no joy.finds this year were way down on last year.found about 160 in 5 days.last time would have been 350 plus so not good.not very busy so just down to bad timing I guess.anyway health issues and not really upto putting in the miles and bending down to see these little teeth all the time is getting a bit much.so a couple of pictures to show what I found.the black circular object is a bony fish vertebrae which is very old.might be 200million or so.

Well, we are 3.5 years into the small holding project and getting on the top side. Few bits to do this year but pretty much broke its back, mainly now is about improving to maximise yields and how to make the most of it, succession planting, storage, pickling etc. So.....I needed a new project and here she is. Shetland Saker. Hull and top side in good condition needs full fit out as its been stripped out by previous owner. That suits me because I would have stripped it anyway. Steady away at it this year restoring her with a view to hitting the canals/rivers next spring. Looking

It makes a diff when they raised properly, max has done a cracking job with that litter a his, get pup next weekend, the whole litter an bitch are looking superb

At 5 he could name all the planets in the solar system and assign them a colour, mars red, earth blue, Venus silver, etc. At 8 he told me they were doing science lessons and he knew the difference between kinetic and potential energy. He is fluent in English and Arabic and has conversational French at 11, his mother told me he has changed the language on his iPad to Japanese as he wants to learn it ! His school teaches critical thinking ; HOW to think , not WHAT to think, and there’s absolutely none of this D.E.I. woke nonsense and any teacher talking about Trans rights Homosex

Na serious both at the same time Audi q7 dogs you for ain’t it nothings ever set in stone gotta take the highs with lows bunped into one of the boys that a gave one of the male pups to by chance couple Days later and he said his circumstances had changed if I wanted one of the dog pups out the litter back took it on and was back out on the land with it that week for it’s first kill. 26inch all legs still got a bit of maturing to do and find it’s true running power should be ok for next season starting

When i lived on hippy sites we once had some irish park up a few hundred yards away and a few of the lads came down to our site generally on some blag or spouting utter shite like most p***y's do, anyway we had a 3 legged lurcher on site and she was a big strong looking thing and what a shame she'd been run over and had lost her front leg. These lads asked what happened to her leg and i told them we ate it, i said we were living on sugar loaf mountain in wales and had been snowed in for a few weeks and we were all starving and rather than kill the dog,because she was a good dog we cut off her

Mate...if some c**t turns up with a gun....I'm pretending to be a cleaner

My houndsmen buddy called me two weeks back and said he got another bass boat in a trade and wanted to know if I wanted the project John boat he'd been working on . Said he didn't need it anymore and just kinda wanted it out his yard for more space , just give him an offer he said. Offered $1200 because that's the goin rate on Facebook marketplace, he said hell no too much and to just bring him something and come get it when I had a chance. Well got home a shooting tripod I knew he wanted and $600 and now I have a boat and trailer drive one about the same size at work for crew changes but pa

Wifey did a picky tea tonight. Cheers Arry

It makes me angry when idiots on tv say the state pension is a “benefit “ ! Its not ! If you haven’t paid into it in the form of so many years National Insurance contributions, you don’t get a pension , simple as that. Being put up for free in a hotel, getting fed for free, free clothes, free phone, pocket money, free transport, etc are benefits given to people that shouldn’t be in this country are benefits old people can only dream of ! If the benefit system needs reducing, I wouldn’t start with the pensioners, I know where I would start ! Cheers.

Mrs Stav’s choice tonight, so tea on the knee, her’s is the one with beans
