I was happily retired, unexpectedly unretired for a few months , back home and now bored stiff. So I was thinking about getting a lamping dog. I was forbidden. Bitch. So she overheard a phone conversation about me and a pal buying a shrimping boat, just to fish locally in decent weather conditions. She went f****n ballistic. "How old are you? You're not twenty any more you know. You've just buggered off for months and left me recovering from an operation. Er no. You had your sister and your mate a nurse staying here. Part of the reason I took off. You're a f****n idio

That was bloody lovely

Not been here long and I’ve had a chub and just had this double take . My mate at the side has had a chub , a 9.1 and a 12.9 pb as he was putting the 9 back

Why would it need to be an increase in income tax specifically? Why not a moratorium on overseas aid ? Why not cut all benefits to illegal immigrants ? Why not a tax increase on the likes of Amazon ? Why pay an estimated £35 billion to give away the Chagos Islands ? Or how about cancelling net zero and the huge subsidies and drill for our own oil and frack for our own gas ? There are many ways of increasing military spending. Cheers.

Went down the pub this lunchtime and felt like I’d won the lottery. A new friend brought in a 4lb zander and then another pal brought me a haunch of roe and 2 rabbits. I had a lovely lunchtime. Guess I’m busy tomorrow. Jok.

Prices going up won't affect me I only ever put 30 pound in

Nothing better than free food, I’ve just dropped an old poacher who had a stroke a couple of years ago a full roe carcass off, I had to run away from him because he kept trying to give me 20 quid

Her son today. Just turned a year old last week

Wifeys Fry up tonight. Cheers Arry

France sending surface to air missile batteries to defend Cyprus and our air base……. Starmer still not wanting to get involved. Disgraceful and humiliating. Cheers.

Few pics out & about with the squadron

I was on Ozziedogs and Boar Dogs forums, both closed down now. I got loads of offers for coursing , working lurchers and terriers to fox and going out with the local hound pack. My daughter lived in Victoria so I had three months there and took up as many opportunities as I could . Cheers.

No, mate. Dan Edwards who used to be on here gave me an invite to hunt coyote with his dogs in Illinois US, but I never got round to it. As for favourite quarry, I’ve been lucky enough to have ran dogs all round the world on various quarry but I still like to see a dog on a daytime hare or better still , a deer/grey type in full flight on a daytime roe . But I’m just as keen to have a mornings ferreting rabbits here or jump on a plane and go to Australia to hunt fox or New Zealand to hunt boar. Im lucky because I get free flights because of my job, even though I’m long retire

Just if any body is interested this is what I got from the mud. Apart from the Queen Victoria half a crown which I found in a farm gate way on the way to the river. The large Bullet in from a 450 Martini - Henry Breach loading rifle issued in 1879 and used in Battles suck as Rorks drift. The larger Musket shot is probably a Brown Bess .75" but has hit something so its distorted. The big brass thing is from a old cooker I think from the wreck of an old paddle steamer that still mored against the bank. Cheers Arry

Never seen one, evidently they are very rare. I remember reading about them years ago when I was toying with the idea of writing a book about sighthounds of the world. Supposedly derived from dogs, probably Salukis and tazis, that the traders took with them along the Silk Road and spice road from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East to India and China. Cheers.

About 50 yards then mate lol

That’s twice now you’ve said you would take her in you mucky old man she would probably rather stay were she is and take her chances

I reckon this isn’t a battle with a “regime”, I think this is a battle with Islam……I also think it’s a given that it’s coming in any place the west and Islam collide. Its inevitable that at some point white people in Europe are going to have to fight this battle domestically…..because the choice is it’s that or be enslaved to Islam. Hopefully politicians grow some sense before then and find a way to make these people go back to Islamic and 3rd world country’s in a sane, humane, kind way…….i won’t hold my breath !

Finished work early today so had a quick couple hours out with the ferrets and lurcher on a local permission.....beauty of a day nice to see blue skies and sunshine for a change! 3 small Warren's the dog marked for 4 nice rabbits......one more trip out then I'm hanging the nets up until September the dog and ferrets can enjoy there rest up they've done well for me this season

Im not running out mate only took 2 for a walk this morning so back dinner take these get some paint fish and chips and go back.graft until. 6ish

Started out with stick and string,then got a chardonneret trap from an old bird trapper then started doing salmon while doing my paper-round before school so had a few quid and bought a mist-net,the good old days.

Started off with air rifles, then ratting with terriers, then ferreting, then foxing with terriers, then lamping lurchers. Did a few years rough shooting and wildfowling but for me it was all about the dogs. Over the last 30 years it has just been digging with terriers, lurcher work, and following hounds. All about the dogs for me. Cheers, D.

Beef Stew tonight. Cheers Arry

My choices if st Peter sends me back for one more day of my choosing... New forest hounds hunting fox in the big woodlands Hunting roe deer with a full pack But if I could have one thing back it would be one more morning with the Pennine hounds on the edge of the local moors on the rocks. Rattle a couple of cubs around early season, a mark, a dig and the mixed smell of crushed bracken, wet hounds and fox and a sip of whiskey from my hip flask.....but most of all the people who were there but are no longer with us. Just one more morning with those once familiar faces.

Amazing......The Royal Kennel Club of Uk " Lets create and encourage the breeding of some of the unhealthiest ridiculous looking dog breeds known to man and then when the government ban them we can blame the public for breeding them "........shower of c**ts !

Rib Eye and Triple cooked chunky chips. Wifey don't like the Pepper Corn Sauce or the Mushroom and Onions. Cheers Arry

Yes I have readily admitted I am bored. In fact you have made more posts than me on here. Over 3000 more. Just don't read my posts if they irritate you. I'm not everybody's cup of tea. Be nice. And people will be nice back. You bring on folks' hostility to you yourself. Remember: " it's nice to be nice".

Dog and bitch 6months
