After 8 hour round trip I brought my new pup home at the weekend, I was very kindly gifted her off a member off here after a chance conversation, from the day they were born he kept me updated with regular pics and updates, she has settled in a treat taking everything in her stride so far, she’s an absolute credit to him, hopefully she might get the odd day out towards the end of the coming season, cheers Neil B

Like I need another hobby Lol. My shoulder been playing me up for over two months and daren't go out coil to the soil so started cutting out old coin I found detecting. My first attempt was a 1981 2p the year my Lad was born, gave it to him as a key ring. Second attempt is a key ring for the Lads Wife. A 1927 crusty old one penny. This ie the third try because Wifey liked the Hare looking at the moon. Still needs a bit of tidying up with the needle files, work in progress. 1895 penny. Cheers Arry

@Greyman Thanks mate...

Recently work has been constant. The last couple off weeks I've dwelled on grabbing the pop up and the dog and taking off for a night. I decided last week yesterday was the day however in Scotland for just about everywhere rain was on the agenda. I thought never the less I'm still going I will change direction and followed the weather forecast. Finished at 3 got home and took off . I had some wind and a couple off small showers but other than that. We could say pitched perfect

But think what you'll be missing. A hot day, with thousands of people shuffling along a tiny corridor of grass basically looking at overpriced field sports goodies in tents. You'll miss the lads being dragged by their panting gundogs wearing their green wellies, Barbour jackets and with their gundog whistles prominently on view around their necks. Some even dress their bored wives in similar garb and drag them along too. You'll miss the leather hat lads fulfilling some fantasy about themselves, the lurcher lads and the terrier lads with their frustrated demented terriers screaming" c

Daughter set off this morning on an epic adventure they are heading to the peak forest canal somewhere up toward Manchester to get some paintwork finished on the boat then across to rugby were the boat will be sold then motorhome back down here for a week or two before picking up there new boat

Put these up before. Wheaton greyhound x deerhound greyhound.

They've grown up like sisters together,My daughter is autistic and struggles with social anxiety but her dogs are the one thing that keeps her calm.Shes been able to control and handle her Gypsy better than most adults you see with dogs since she was 5 or 6.If it wernt for the fact she had her last week at school and a weekend away with her mum I'd have probably done it a week ago but although she spent 3hours cuddling her and crying last night she's determined she's coming to the vets this morning to comfort her whilst its done.Very brave and mature for a kid who struggles with so many day to

That is true,but once there it's hard to get started and many folk are stuck as it's easier to just stay in the status quo as such without outside help and who helps street living junkies apart from a hand out now and again... Time for my story ,, I have taken drugs since i was a teenager just for the buzz like many have done, all sorts of drugs but never had a problem with any of them as i just casually used them..I debt collected for a lass i knew and got given a car instead of money and sold the car for drugs worth more than the debt so i turned them over and i ended up testing th

Didn't know what to do for dinner tonight as it so hot. So Wifey did a deep extra filled Quiche. Cheers Arry

Just my opinion, but bringing family into arguments , by ANYONE, is an absolute no-no. Cheers.

I’m actually proud of my carbon footprint 20 year old 3.0 litre diesel, when I pop into the services at the Oxford turn off on the M40, and see the great big line of Tesla’s and the like sitting there charging up I make a point of slowing down opening my window and pointing and laughing at them whilst accelerating on my way with a big black puff of diesel smoke in my wake

Over the years I employed many of the these type of lads who nobody wants, lads who had been on the dole, involved in petty crime, smoked weed all day, come from fractured homes or bad situations…..I can count the “culls” on one hand. See I’m a nobody, but I told these lads from the get go “you don’t have to be what everyone thinks you are” I showed them that when they earned respect they got it and those who didn’t deserve it got told to f**k off, I watched these lads grow as men…..all it needed was someone to believe in them, give them a bit of guidance, talk to them and treat them

Panninis with salad marinated chicken with melted cheese and hot chilli sauce.

Don't get better than fresh mackerel

Been there and it's shit, shit like beyond wanting to wake up tomorrow but knowing you can't die because then your kids will always have a down and out junkie dad and your parent will have to bury you with the shame of it being their child no matter how old you are, that was 25 years ago and i'm fecking blessed to have survived it and be where i am today, forgiven and much loved. Big up to those who do stop and chat and believe me it can make a difference as there's not a lot to live for when your on your arse and a thank you from those who maybe cannot say what it means..

Got the boat back in the water on Friday so making the most of this glorious weather.. Took the Mrs out yesterday, she caught a few mackerel while I had a spin for bass, only 1 small bass... but had this cracking wrasse off an inshore reef, probably my best wrasse, didn't weigh it but easily 4lb..cracking fish..

Starting to put in an appearance now after a bit of water.

I wouldn't be that confident at your age...lol Where you going anywhere nice?

Think this 1 will be the next to join the west coast bushing team .

I like these old memories takes me back. I too was taught by Nun's horrible buggers used to punch you cane the shit out of you. We used to kick a football into a walnut tree in the grounds to knock the walnuts down. They were bit like a horse chestnut where as you had a green outer coat on the nut that was hard to get off and stained your fingers yellow. the Nun's made you hold your hands out if stained you got whacked with the cane. I was sort of lucky my parents moved into a housing association house in 1952 we had hot and cold taps but only cold water came out of both. That was unless

Mchull would be on his third lap ….

An old deerhound cross teaching the youngsters how to fill a freezer; Cheers.

I think it’s only the first crosses that go 28/29” mate. Second crosses can be a lot smaller. I had an Ashington bred second cross dog, early 70’s , that went 25/26”. When he went over a greyhound, I had a bitch pup that would have been the size of the bitches I keep now. The one on the right in this pic is a bitch I had with only 1/8th deerhound, the rest was beddy , whippet, greyhound and only went 23” the bitch on the left was Ashington bred , mainly deer/ grey with just a dash of collie and only made 24”; . Billy Doherty had small, ( for pure deehound), bitches,

Old but gold .the original west coast bushers

Sky news headline said tree fellers jailled , but only named two , very strange

Nah neither of them berks if id wanted a Google opinion id of done it myself....no this geezer really knew his shit............Pardus i think he called himself

After Sundays disappointing river effort had a few hours tonight on the local pond for a tench ,well no tench but a handful of good sized bream on the feeder

There was a time you contributed well to here; you obviously crave the attention but the only means you have now are to be a degenerate mong

Just mated the bitch to this greyhound . Had to go down the AI route as we couldn't get the tye . Bloods were bang on so now just fingers crossed . Back in just over 4 weeks for a scan to see if she's caught . Got plenty of juice in her . Dog mated a collie last year but think the heat had a lot to do with it but fair play to the fella with the stud he done all he could to help us out. Dog was keen as f**k . Did get it in but never tied so she could have had a bit anyway over last couple of days . Seen a few videos of him winning a few races by a decent margin aswell . About 28 so should make

good old standby .....did it last night so its had plenty of time superating...

Lamb leg steak with some of the Lions mane mushroom I've been growing with some fresh garden veg, Cheers Arry

proper British food not dago stuff

So finally our stint at Bleak House came to an end. We called into the headmaster's office and given a speech. He said he hoped we had benefited from our stay and learned the error of our ways. He told us to stick with the Catholic church, join the army and not to buy The Daily Mirror because it was full of lies. He gave us each a leaving certificate with a ribbon round it. Harry got his first and the headmaster said what do you say? So Harry said " thanks" and mumbled "for nothing". I sniggered and took mine silently. The b*****d had presided over a system where the most vulnerable kids w

Somebody somewhere is saying “I only put the pressure washer outside for a minute because I was going to wash the car, went for the washing up liquid and by the time I got back some c**t had nicked it !” lol
