A nice ten miler on the M25 would suit me better Gnasher, The basics of the game or score as it is cal

    Gnasher, All they need is a couple of miles of tarmac, the queens highways are probably as good a place as any to play, haha. I didn't get a chance to read this yet, but it looks to be a good article, you might know some of the places mentioned? http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/another-country-another-ball-game-near-ford-motors-in-dagenham-an-irish-match-of-which-jack-charlton-knows-nothing-except-the-passion-report-by-cal-mccrystal-1422603.html

    This is a very popular sport in Cork and Armagh and in other smaller areas around Ireland. I believe the Irish used to play it in Dagenham on a Sunday morning long ago. As Jigsaw said, there's skill involved in the game. You have to be strong, accurate, cute and have the stuff to throw good bowls, with the pressure of someone betting on you to win. Some of the big scores would have thousands on the stake and lads also betting on the road. My father was involved in bowling all his life, playing, administrator and referee and spent his Sunday mornings and summer evenings bowling. He got

    I would agree individually would be best. I found that there doesn't seem to be the same demand as there was for these types of books. Good luck with the sale.

    This may have been up before? It's good to see some logical and rational thinking being applied for a change. http://metro.co.uk/2015/05/19/its-time-to-bring-back-hunting-with-dogs-5205233/

    Not sure yet,will wait until about ten weeks,there is a fine big black dog on the litter.The rest are going to hunting partners so they wont be far away. Decisions, decisions, you'd nearly have to keep the dog the only one in the litter?

    Cracking looking pups, they are in great condition. The bitch did a great job rearing them. What two are you keeping, it must have been hard to pick just the two. Best of luck with them.

    That's a bargain for that book. I think people sadly don't appear to be interested in books anymore?

    Cracking terriers Mik.

    Thanks, does the dog work the same way. They sound like there bred the right way good luck with them
  14. Rebel
    I remember that case well, fair play to those two men, only for them it would have been a very different story.
  15. Rebel
    Best of luck with the pups, hopefully they will do what they were bred for. The mother looks a fine bitch, what way are the pups bred? Thanks

    The victor writes the history and obviously write it to favour their side of the story. History can often be just one sides records of events, as has been said above. I think there are many examples of this. Just look at the media coverage of any event, whose side of the story do we get and do we always get both sides if the story?

    Thanks that's great, exactly the type of advice I was looking for. I wouldn't be the most mechanically minded, but this is a big help. Thanks
  24. Rebel
    Thanks, these are the kind of issues that I was enquiring about and also to know what problems I should be looking out for and any checks that I could do to identify any problems. I don't want to be buying someone else's dirt. Thanks
  25. Rebel
    Thanks, but what exactly should I be looking for? Thanks
