  1. anyone working little non ped whippets?
  2. what I call a good mooch ?how's the top one bred?
  3. I always avoid trails and well used footpaths. my daily mooching gets me as remote as I can. now on permanent arsehole alert the amount of people about is unreal. just got back saw a bloke in a fxxxcking onesie and trainers wandering about and a chap pushing a mountain bike up a ploughed field.
  4. we are like rabbits waiting for myxi
  5. 1.5mm I think is best or 2mm.anything else I find too bulky.
  6. many moons ago early 84 me and a mate fetched a dog around 3 years old from near Chesterfield £15 (big spenders us mining lads). following night took him lamping. First run live back to hand. second run live back to hand. 3rd run missed, 4th run live back to hand. thought who the fxxck would sell a dog like this. 5th run stopped after 20 yards, I thought he's not seen it. 6th run didn't even get 2 yards it was all over he simply didn't want to know. he would catch first couple of rabbits then that was it. he didn't stay with us long.
  7. remember it well. it was at Staveley near Old Ireland pit.
  8. I like a out and out tryer. I like a dog that tries at everything rather than a thinker. I think its similar to calling a dog off quarry it would always be in back of my mind if the dog is really trying.
  9. can't we get back to whippets and ferrets, I thought Google had sent me on a government site?
  10. no it's England that's the problem. I continue to go to Scotland and Wales for regular holidays and have always found there is no class problem. just look at the rugby great craic at Murray field and Cardiff. then go to Twickenham and it's full of hurray Henry.
  11. You really shouldn't be calling the police officer a stupid cxnt
  12. according to Boris we are all in it together. just like his chum call me dave (remember him). England has always been a class society.
  13. it's come to something when a working man needs a fxxxcking degree before he let's the dog off its lead.
  14. if I return home without young mutley I would sooner face plod rather then my Mrs.
  15. while we are on this subject. forgive my ignorance as I am still living in the 80s. could you have a dog seized for ferreting? everything I do is mooching about without permission.
  16. shocking. can you elaborate on exactly what happened? were you trespassing? caught anything?
  17. if someone saw a dead bunny on the road around here, time team would come out.
  18. when I worked as coalminer in the early 80s there was a smallholder who worked there. he was always moaning about rabbits and asking for myxied rabbits. yet he wouldn't let anyone on despite there being loads of rabbiting lads at the pit.
  19. I understand that ?. I can't get my head around this spun polly stuff. I have a few purse nets and I hate them they seem like wool to me. netrigger did me some crossbraid nylon in 0.75mm and they are the dog's danglies. would imagine 0.25mm in same stuff would make a great net unfortunately I am no knitter.
  20. if you have always been successful with 4z in sheet netting why are you going to the time and expense of handknitting? I know quality is different but do you think rabbit numbers will be better?
  21. 5z nylon that is new to me. I really rate the crossbraid stuff that I have in pursenets. rabbits are very low in numbers local to me as well. keep hoping things will change in future seasons ?
