    I just pickle the smaller onions of whatever type I’ve planted. I’m guessing you can pickle any type. Yes , equal parts warm water and white malt vinegar, bit of salt, you can use brown malt vinegar if you want. I make up my own spice mix; mustard seed, coriander seed, black pepper corn and a couple of bay leaves but you can buy ready mixed pickling spices. A tv chef said never use dried bay leaf for any cooking as it loses all flavour if not fresh, so I bought a small bay plant and now a year later it’s a small bush and I pick the leaves the day I use them. I planted my j

    I know you were just after a bite from Ray, mate, but I’ve seen a few different types on my trips down under, and they do the jobs they are asked to do very well; Whippets; Staghounds; Waiting for a slip with a staghound and a ‘roo hound; ’Roo hound with a dash of whippet. As good a fox dog as I’ve seen, but sadly killed when it made the step up to wild boar Horses for courses mate….. Cheers.

    Greb casts a line and the same people take the bait every time ! I’ve had some very decent conversations with him about all sorts. Never had a problem with him. The secret is not to bite, if the conversation gets out of hand, just don’t reply. Cheers.

    It would appear there are some minor gaps in my protégé’s Middle East knowledge ! LOL ! Geordie rhyming slang for food is “ Terry” As in Terry Waite, bait ! Cheers.

    THL’s own “Wolf of Kabul”, Mackem, wandered all around the Afghan/Pakistan tribal areas and Khyber Pass with impunity, but he was in disguise; Cheers.

    I had to laugh at the utter naivety of those lads who turned up at the World Cup in Qatar dressed as Crusaders and then wondered what the fuss was about ! LOL ! Cheers.

    They’ve hated us since the Sykes Picot Agreement dividing the Middle East up between the UK and France. They’ve hated us for going back on the Balfour Declaration promising the Palestinian homelands wouldn’t be given over to the Jews. They’ve hated us since we ended the British Mandate of Palestine and allowed it to become the Israeli State. They’ve hated us for a long time but didn’t have the means or wherewithal to bring that hatred to our shores . Now they have…… Cheers.

    Reform UK has just won a council by election with a 40% swing from Labour ! Only a councillor, but a sign of things to come ? Cheers.

    Labour are intrinsically antisemetic and pro Muslim. Jews by and large don’t vote for Labour and their vote is minuscule in the grand scheme of things. Muslims USED to vote overwhelmingly for Labour and have a large and growing demographic, but now the Muslim vote for Labour is wavering in favour of voting for independent Muslim candidates, I can see Labour moving even further away from the Jewish vote and ever closer to the Muslim vote. Cheers.

    Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi are Irans proxies, they are killing far more Israelis than Iran itself. What do you think of a bully who uses weaker acolytes to do their dirty work and get beaten up while the bully stays well out of the way and throws stones from a distance ? Your argument works both ways mate . Cheers.

    I’ve been out of the “loop” for years now and I’m just an interested bystander, so I’ll bow to your superior knowledge of Middle East politics and International diplomacy !LOL ! Cheers.

    Are you watching the news ? Israel is destroying Lebanon and Hezbollah. That’s their aim . Cheers.

    I was quite surprised at this , but looking deeper into it, it seems the Chaggosians from Mauritius will be allowed to return to the Chagos Islands but not to Diego Garcia, as we now have a 99 year lease on it. The Americans must be happy enough with this as they basically run Diego Garcia and have an airbase and deep water port on the island. There are B- 1 , B-2 and B52 bombers based there and a Space command Station. I remember the B52’s flying from there and stopping at Jeddah Air Base where we refuelled and replenished them on their way to Iraq to deliver “Shock & Awe “

    According to reports hardly any got through same as last time, most landed in the desert. Iran couldn’t wipe Israel out . The Israeli airforce is far superior to Irans. And Israel always has the Sampson Option if they look like losing. The whole of the Arab world have tried before and failed, now it’s just Iran and it’s terrorist proxies. Major military powers in the area like Saudi, Jordan, UAE, Turkey would rather see see iran wiped out than Israel. Syria and Iraq are finished as military forces .Don’t let your hatred of Israel blind you to the facts mate. As Ive said before,
