    For any Internet Forum to survive,..the Moderation has to be Firm but Fair, with the emphasis on Firm....?

    My Nephew is a super keen competitor in Jujitsu,..I belive this activity to be a great all round fitness pursuit... I regret all the years I wasted,.. training in various esoteric martial arts,...total foolishness and all fairly worthless,.. when put to the test...? I wish that Jujitsu had been available to me, back in the day,....too late now,.my poor old body could not take the requisite pain... Good luck to anyone who fancies a bit of grappling,..I truly envy them...?

    When it comes to genuine rabbiting,..most contemporary 'Celebs' would be incredibly priveledged,... to be in your company...?

    Funny you should say that Shaaark? No, I am not colour blind,..BUT, I am very colour orientated... My favourite being a prefusion of various Reds? However,...certain colours (in much the same way as certain people)...really do effect my mood, and I simply cannot be anywhere near them... Always been the same...?

    When I was a young guy,..I was frequently 'befriended' by these curious types,..feck knows why....?

    ?Yeah,..that poor old foot does look a right mess....?

    Nice to see the old Long Dawgs..?

    Beautiful looking animal Sir.. We bred a fair few Whippet/Greyhound/ Greyhound x Deerhound back in the 1980's ... They were superlative hunters/lampers/Mouchers,..everyone locally seemed to have one?

    Lovely wee jukel...?

    Yeah,..Ive found that with many types of genuine Ist Cross Hybrids,..as the litters progress, the end product often decreases in size? As a one -time breeder and worker of home-bred lorchers, I personally felt that the progeny from the initial first cross was the start of a breeding programe. The exciting part for me was where to go next to make an improvement... This fine tuning , testing and working in the hunting field , frequently dictates where to go .?

    I got Carpal Tunnel ,...in both hands? It don't half hurt ....?

    Yes,..mine were all in Files, on the ancient Windows XP....but, the Russian Ransomware gang attacked me without warning, and then offered me a dodgy deal,.. and it was a spurious offer, that would never have got my precious images back. They asked for BitCoins,...what the feck is that...? Hundreds of unreplacable memories,.. stolen and encrypted,...total c*nts?
  18. OldPhil
    ?At least you still have your photos,...mine have all gone into Cyberspace....?

    Fabulous workmanlike types?
  20. OldPhil
    Great to see the wee man,..please give him my best regards...?
  21. OldPhil
    Yeah, ya gotta look after your old pals,..they deserve a wee bit of comfort... "Work them hard and treat them like Heroes"..?

    Used to love a bit of rattin and rabbiting...?
  23. OldPhil
    Another thing that I have found is,...when working a team of ferrets over several consecutive days,.. they do seem to get a wee bit jaded, especially if the rabbits are in deep,.. and have been difficult to shift... This is the one occasion when I would always keep them a tad light, and in the parlance of Falconers, in 'good Yarak'.. If you are working, far from home and only have one or two days left, it is imperative that both dogs and ferrets,..(.and men) ,..remain keen and stay the course... Quite often, the client, who has been noticeably fecking absent, when the rabbits a

    Some whippets punch a hell of a lot more,... than their weight...? I've seen Roe deer taken with all manner of miscellaneous roustabout jukels,...and a big strong Whippet, that knows the score and has the desire,...can still sometimes grass them,... no bother?

    Well, that's a shame,. .I've not spoken to Andrew for several decades, but he kindly sent me a batch of his excellent Fox Hunting Videos ..? The stamp of lurcher, that he was using on the Welsh Hills/Mountains, really did seem to suit, the rough old rocky terrain... Whatever,.. life moves on,...I hope he is well....?
