A hat and scarf a Kashmiri friend gave me; It would have been crass of me not to accept the gift, but I must admit, I haven’t found the opportunity to wear them around Newcastle ! LOL ! Cheers.

Well they are “blessed “ you know ? The Cheesemakers, not the “chemtrails” ! Cheers.

“He’s having a go at the cheese makers now ! “ Monty Pythons Life of Brian. Cheese.

Both Arabs and Jews are Semitic, but I’m just being pedantic of course ! LOL ! Cheers.

Lurchers, terriers, etc. Dont know who’s judging but the last few years I’ve been the judges seemed to know their stuff , apart from the lurcher judges who only gave me second place ! LOL ! Just joking, it’s only a little hunt show where a few like minded people meet up to support the hunt .

The brits going abroad made the French and the Austrians not like us ? The French should bow down and revere us for saving them , twice , from the Germans ! The Austrians ? Well, they are just second class Germans and have never got over the fact Hitler was Austrian ! Cheers.

Businesses need cash flow though, mate. My local chinky’s was cash only until recently, now they take card……a sign of the times, I’m afraid. I keep some “folding”,as I imagine Wilf might say, plus some gold and shares and other hedges against inflation, but at my age it’s not something I worry too much about. Everything goes to my grandson eventually, and with his modest trust fund and his wealthy other grandparents, I hope his future is assured, but who knows ? Cheers.

My feed merchant has finally started accepting card, has always been cash only. I asked him why and he said there’s only one bank in a 30 mile radius that will accept cash of £1,000 up to a limit of £10,000 per deposit and they charge a handling fee ! He’s asking customers to do a bank transfer instead of card, as he has to pay the card companies a commission. How has it come to this, banks charging you to accept your cash ? Cheers.

I was wondering what that was aswell. Ive never heard of white pudding with raisins before. Up here, and I think in Scotland, white pudding is also called mealy pudding. Cheers.

Egg Mayo; Made with duck and quail eggs, ham, chives, garlic and Fiery Mayo; Perfect for breakfast, on toast ! Cheers.

My missus travels the world regularly and without doubt she reckons Paris and Vienna are the two unfriendliest cities she been to. Cheers.

I worked with a lot of nationalities in the Middle East, including Indians, and to be honest, never found any nationality that hated the British. Yes, there were some who disliked us, but most seemed to like us. Most from the Sub-Continent, especially the more educated, were very pro British. Ive got on very well, and have good friends from countries that are supposed to hate us, including the likes of Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Australia ! LOL ! Cheers.

Commercial aircraft go through very intensive servicing and checks. The “D” check is about as near as Triggers Brush as you can get, complete strip downs of engines and airframe, down to the last nut, bolt and rivet. A “D” check on, say, a 747 will take months and hundreds of engineers, technicians, mechanics and support staff. It’s virtually a new aircraft when it rolls out of the maintenance hanger. Again, I was just joking, I know some cars, especially Volvos, rack up amazing mileage. Cheers.

I was just joking , Dodge, but I remember seeing a rare Mini Cooper S being sold for many thousands and all that was used in the rebuild was the Vehicle Identification Plate ! Every thing else was replaced, body, engine, running gear , interior, the lot , but it retained its original registration even though, to all intents and purposes it was a brand new car ! Im not saying this is the case with the car you posted about . Cheers.
-
A million miles on a car is nothing…..if it’s like Triggers brush ! Cheers.
-
I said “ might, just might”, I’m an optimist! LOL ! Cheers.
-
He’d be most welcome, I could put up a camp bed in the man cave and I’ve spare kennels for his dogs. He’d get to meet people who have different types of dogs, who do different types of hunting, see different types of ground and he might, just might go home with a more open mind ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
I think most on here put in some serious graft, and some have retired after a lot of serious graft…….but there are one or two dilettantes ! LOL ! Cheers.

That made me think of my dads badger bristle shaving brush, so I had a look on line, and amazingly they are still available ! Im surprised the woke brigade haven’t had them banned ! Cheers.

I travelled over to Ireland to judge a show, and I’ve got a standing invitation to judge one of the biggest shows in Australia which I hope to do sometime, but this show is literally a few minutes from me. Theres lads coming from Lancs and Scotland as well as from Northumberland, so there should be some good craic ! Cheers.
-
Anyone going to the show on Saturday ? Its in aid of one of my local hunts, the Tynedale. Theres a few of us going, it’s only minutes from my house, to support them. Cheers.
-
I make plum vodka the same way. Cheers.

Wasn’t Branson talking about something like this years ago ? Fly up out of the atmosphere and let the earths rotation do the work and drop down to Australia an hour or so later ? Mind you, I don’t know how he was going to overcome flying upside down when he got to Australia , maybe that’s why he didn’t do it ? LOL ! Cheers.

Sloe gin is extremely easy to make, so why try to “re-invent the wheel” ? Pick your sloe berries after they had a frost, or if picked before a frost, put them in the freezer for a few days. Fill a DemiJohn or another container 1/3rd with sloe berries . Add sugar until it just covers the berries. Add your gin and give a good shake. Leave for as long as possible, or at least a couple of months, shaking up once a week. Strain off into bottles and enjoy ! I sometimes add a bottle of red wine to the mix, but it isn’t a must . Cheers.

Is it only fox hunting, Terry ? Cheers.
