  1. It does seem strange that she’s now not a British citizen but she is still getting legal aid, estimated at over £4 million so far ! And that could double if she appeals to the Supreme Court and then to the European Court Of Human Rights ! And news comes out today that we are not spending £8 million a day on hotels for illegal immigrants; it’s actually £15 million per day ! Cheers.
  2. They came across, to me, as unpretentious, not taking themselves too seriously. The never described themselves as chefs; just cooks. Enjoyed watching their shows , until they went a bit vegan. Seemed like a pair of blokes you could have a pint and a craic with. Cheers.
  3. Does “basic” have to be ugly ? Looks like something Trabant would have produced years ago. Cheers.
  4. I can vouch for the terrain ! I took my old deer x up there to run bolted rabbits with Davey and his dogs and first run my bitch had was down into a rock strewn gully and she came back with a stopper hanging off ! That was the end of her day. But I’ve had some great days up there, really enjoyable, and Davey’s dogs, the beddy types and the ACD cross certainly knew their job ! Cheers.
  5. Bull and collie; the two least favourite breeds in a lurcher for me ! Never had a bull cross, and the term “couldn’t catch a rabbit in a ‘phone box” could have been invented for the only collie x I’ve had the misfortune to have in my kennel ! LOL ! Cheers.
  6. “Bullherder” ? Never heard of them; are they the new designer dog the peddlers are peddling ? Cheers.
  7. So they are not living in Nissen huts and bell tents these days ? Spoilt fuckers ! LOL ! Cheers,
  8. I was at the Teams just a few days ago. I well remember the Waggon Team pub, a great landmark ! Cheers.
  9. A Gatesheed lad ! Just like mesel ! Cheers.
  10. One thing I noticed about the dogs in Australia is that they are not only stock broken, but broken to native species such as wombats, kangaroos, etc. I guess that they rely on the goodwill of the farmers and also the quite severe penalties for killing native species. Cheers.
  11. Never been to Shetland, but my dad worked at Sullom Voe for years on the oil terminals. He tried to get me there but I preferred warmer climes ! Cheers.
  12. Caught fish all over the world, mate, river, lake, sea. Grand Canal, Ireland; Bay of Plenty, New Zealand; Fished the Baltic to the Southern Ocean; the Red Sea to the Gulf of Siam , but still like a day on the stockies locally at Kielder or Fontburn; Cheers.
  13. You don’t get bored on days like this ; Catch a few fish , then have a mooch around with the dog, then back to catch a few more ! Cheers.
  14. That reminds me of the advert on tv for bags of coal ……”Contains organic material”. Cheers.
  15. There’s no fooling you ,mate ! LOL ! Cheers.
  16. Ocelot tongue consume’, wrens liver pâté’, perhaps European bison milk ice cream, and maybe a cheeky little Tibetan red to wash it down, nothing exotic mind you ! Cheers.
  17. I’m on an Aussie hunting site, mainly to keep in touch with lads I’ve hunted with, but I also like to see the “dogs for sale” section. This ad caught my eye; I thought it might interest some of us on here. I particularly like the look of the stag x greyhound, Rocky. A$800 is probably a bit less than £500, reasonable for a started dog, I think. Cheers.
  18. I got three of them 12ah batteries off Joe Ox well over 10 years ago, I think I gave him a dozen hen or ducks eggs for them LOL ! Two of them are still 100% effective, I’ll not be paying £100 for a lithium while the young p***y I lamp with will carry the old lead/acid batteries! LOL ! Cheers.
  19. Dodger , you must be fitter than me ! I used to use a 17 amp/hr years ago, but dropped down to a 12. Now I’m seriously thinking about one of those new fangled lithium things ! Cheets.
  20. I’ve got loads of videos of him riding his horse, trotting , cantering and galloping, on the lunge and riding free, my hearts in my mouth but he’s confident ! His instructor must worry more than me because he’d be thrown in jail if anything bad happened ! LOL ! Cheers.
  21. His family don’t like dogs , but the Prince that sponsors him has Jack Russells and one of his uncles has dogs, so he’s around them . He loves our chihuahua and says it’s his dog, but he doesn’t like the Deer x as he says it’s hyper ! Its a bit of a myth that Arabs don’t like dogs, I worked for a Saudi sheik that had lurchers that Peter Stringfellow sent him from the queens kennels in Sandringham and also bred Rottweiler and Border Collies. I was gifted a saluki many years ago and when it died he sent me a Doberman to replace it, which I brought home and even gets a mention in one of Darc
  22. He loves his horses, he’s been on a horse since before he could walk. When he’s here, he’s with the dogs and horses. I’ll have him out on the sulky or the ragmans cart next time he’s here! Not sure what his mother will think ! LOL ! Cheers.
  23. I sadly only managed to get my son out hunting once , when he was in his 30’s . He was more an academic type, but enjoyed a bit of ferreting with his old dad ! Cheers.
  24. That’s fantastic, mate ! Look at their faces ! A joy ! Cheers.
