  1. Interesting thread, and those sausages looks very tasty
  2. Hope and expectations, black holes and revalations...

  3. Yeah raff, this sturgeon is very tame, quite happy to be hand fed and touched, although they are bottom feeders they seem to prefer the koi food and sticking their nose out is the only way to eat the floating sticks, this one grew from two and a half to four feet in four years although i was told this species can attain a maximum of 8feet With regards to saltwater aquarims, i think they look stunning and the array of fish species is exciting BUT the delicate balance of the water chemistry and expensive start up costs means i have no experience
  4. Mouse, your right about plecs, had a few and had one in a cichlid tank that grew to an enormous size but luckily enough the tank was huge.....
  5. It ain't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, woof woof homies!!

      unless the half decent one aint game

  6. I used a collie for ferreting and lamping for years, but let me say one thing, your "fast" collie ain't a match for a slow lurcher so expect a lot of misses and enjoy the catches...........
  7. As Dan would say, like a whipped dog lol

  8. You know i'm a freak, i know i'm a freak, but don't ever call me diplomatic
  9. Never lost a fish to herons, the pond has a 40 inch raised wall and had a frame above with perforated matting, this wasn't erected to keep herons out but more to deflect direct sunlight as the growth of algae and weed was a problem and clogging up the media of the filter....
  10. any pics of the pond? sounds awsome Not at the minute, built it in 2002, used a new, at the time! Painted coat of fibreglass, took several attempts filling it and finding leaks before it was left for a month to get the chemistry right, introduced fish and by 2010 some of the fish were 3ft long, also introduced a 4ft Siberian sturgeon that is very tame and can be hand fed, along with the koi, they bred in 2005 and i housed the fry in an indoor pond for the winter and introduced them the following summer, they are now about 18 inches long. Started of with four drum filters and upgrade
  11. Good ole hunting life Some of the most interesting fish i have kept have been cichlids, not sexy or much of a wow factor but attractive easy fish. Also set up a 33,000 litre koi pond and bred those, changed the filtration system as new technology is constantly being brought into the market. Kept various freshwater species including piranhas/puffer/oscars etc. I find fish very relaxing and the delicate balance of water chemistry and the nitrogen cycle is very interesting
  12. Petition signed, such an amazing lack of compassion, i am disgusted, i have young children and they mean more to me than anything, its not worth thinking about for something to happen to them, i sincerely hope your family are able to resolve this pathetic ruling.......
  13. From what i've read historically deerhounds were run doubled up. As for the modern Irish wolfhound, they are oversized walkig health problems that wouldn't have a hope in even getting to terms with any deer species nowdays......
  14. Truck cleaned at last!! Kids fed and full. Time for a roll up and coffee

  15. Time to clen the truck, all i need is a roll of bin liners and a flame thrower

  16. The guy was genius imo, much better than Cantona........
  17. Anyway....back on topic.....enjoyed watching Pires and Overmars...
  18. Just wondered with all the football threads what would be your premiership dream team with five subs......... Schmeichel Adams Terry Ferdinand Giggs Beckham Viera Keane Gerrard Bergkamp Henry Substitutes; Gianfranco Zola Bryan Robson Alan Shearer Eric Cantona Paul Gascoigne I've probably forgotton a great player but hey ho!!!
  19. Malt, your mistaking hate for admiration
  20. Spot on, remember watching it as a kid and thinking how depressing, then somebody bought it me as a xmas present a few years ago and i loved it. Another good film along similar lines was made by channel four called the nature of the beast based on the book by Janni Howker, tried for years to get the film to no avail........
  21. what can I say! when you support a club thats succesfull like UTD why not rub every other fuckers nose in it ... As a Blackburn fan i remember the feeling for one season
  22. You mean it ain't me noggin, its me peepers...

  23. No i dont buy that....people dont dislike the club because they are good they dislike the clubs supporters....and their attitudes because they are good..... Personally,i dont think your club is so good that they can play badly and win the premiership....if Barcelona couldnt do it Man Utd definately couldnt......i just think some fans are blinded by their own success. Spot on gnash, i don't support one of the big clubs, but the only club i have a dislike for is Man utd, growing up listening to their supporters waffle on......and on......and on...... One thing i will say as a non
  24. Not a lurcher but I had seven years of fun with a pet bred Border Collie lamping and ferreting. Your right odd world beaters come from unexpected places but i'd always stick to proven stuff
  25. judge take a chill pill Lets be honest it was daft making up a thread based on lies, most of the folk you talk to on here you don't know so you have to take people at face value, starting a thread telling porkies will alienate folk, best thing is too get back on track slaverin and letching over jpt threads as expected
