  1. I certainly think that beddywhippets have changed through the years, in the 70s and early 80s I grew up with a few first cross dogs around me. they were around 19tts and very whippety and fast, my own first crosses since have all lacked a yard, and not been as racy built, I can only put it down to the beddys of today.
  2. lots on pet websites, personally I wouldn't look at 99% of them but now and again there is something worth looking at, myself I would look for a three quarter bred.
  3. I agree with you, I hope he wins, I saw him on sky Sunday morning, only chap that dares mention Muslims and tell you like it is. but in my opinion we are as corrupt a country as any other and the smear campaign begins.
  4. I didn't know they were fielding that many candidates, a few years ago I was in Skegness and there were posters everywhere, vote ukip, now skeggy and Boston is full of immigrants and everyone you spoke to were moaning about it, I thought ukip should take a seat here yet tories still got in, do you think after 7 attempts fatage will win a seat?
  5. I fully respect your opinion mate, but labour were finished a few years ago, wouldn't be in power for decades, now look were we are, as they say a weeks a long time in politics.
  6. have always voted mate, but what do you do can't vote tory Labour are shite and reform can't even field enough candidates in all constituencies.

    anyone with anything in the pipeline yet?
  8. my mrs wears the trousers mate
  9. it's a rarity to see young people with runners anymore, at least it is around here, hardly anyone carrying the pigeons, whippets, terriers anymore, as for ferrets people see me as strange and do you put them down your trousers..... ffs,
  10. there is a litter in freeads, whippet x pointer look lovely pups, but price is steep
  11. good luck with your recovery mate I don't like this getting old malarkey either but I don't fancy the alternative.
  12. happy days, trouble is now there is a lot of volunteer rangers and local hikers who all have a mobile on speed dial to plod.
  13. love the pic of the white hares, brings back memories, they are still there but it's red hot in those parts now
  14. it's listening to the do gooders by both Conservative and Labour politicians that's got us into the mess we are in today, what a state of affairs when there is now no one worth voting for.
  15. it's a shame screaming lord sutch is dead
  16. you have explained it well, I watched the Glen waters videos years ago, found them brilliant, snaring, longnetting etc, mesh size is very important, I like 2 1/4 mesh for everything really for rabbits.
  17. I see what you mean, like you said old gate nets were draped over the gate, a lot nowadays call short longnets, stop nets about 5 yards long, set behind the gate, I like poke nets 5 or 6 ft for ferreting. do the gate nets purse up properly?
  18. looks good, , but why have you put rings on gate nets?
  19. it's great to see someone still having a go, I think your hardest job is finding stuff to actually hunt these days, I have come across little pockets of rabbits and thought about dropping a net, but I love getting a run with the young whippet, you can only catch them once so it's a balancing act
  20. rumour has it mate, capstick died a death on stage around these parts, many years ago at Shirebrook welfare, locals reduced him to tears.
  21. great characters great days, sadly we can't go back, but they can't take away the great times we have had, it's been a wonderful journey
  22. in north Wales for a few days, saw a pair of greenfinches this morning
