  1. British jets and refuelling aircraft were in the air out of our Cyprus base before a missile was launched It was on GBNews before the attack , Cheers.
  2. I agree with Groucho; “ I wouldn’t join any club that would allow someone like me to join”…… Cheers.
  3. Moseley allways claimed to be a left wing socialist, but then again the Nazi’s were National Socialists. Cheers.
  4. 2,000 direct redundancies in South Wales and many more in the supply chain. Cheers.

    Coal.

    On the day the last coal fired power station is taken off line and the last coal fired steel blast furnace in Wales is shut down the energy cap price has risen by 10% and the cold weathers payment to 10 million pensioners is taken away. Labour; the party of the people…… Cheers.
  6. A lot of Arab Muslims have white skin , freckles, green eyes and ginger hair. They are Circassians, originally from the Caucasus region but driven out by the Russians and settled in the Middle East, notably Lebanon and Syria and spread out from there. Cheers.
  7. Reminds me of my best pals dad. He came over from Poland with his family after the war to work in the mines in South Wales. When we visited him, it would be straight out with the vodka and polish sausage. “You must eat when you drink” he would tell us, a shot of vodka and a hunk of sausage. He insisted only the Poles could make real vodka, “not like that Russian shit “ ! His wife would be bringing out all the Polish staples then he would get out the guitar or balilika. Same with a boss I had in Saudi, he was Czech with a Canadian passport. His wife would insist on cooking
  8. Caveat Emptor ! An old pal of mine worked for years in Saudi and China, retired early and went to live in Romania. He married a much younger woman and bought a small farm. His wife quickly went through his savings, houses, vehicles, etc for her family and when “the well run dry” she informed him they weren’t really married and the farm was in her name, not his and he came home poorer but wiser ! Its not just places like Thailand this happens, it also happens in Europe. So, the grass is not always greener on the other side. If anyones contemplating moving abroad, take y
  9. A mate of mine used to call them “chutney ferrets” ! Cheers.
  10. What would be the point of running single ? They are testing dog against dog, not dog against hare, just as we did in the Waterloo Cup before the ban . Cheers.
  11. I’ve been to Southern Ireland and had a run or two with the two lurchers I took over. The lads in Northern Ireland have all sorts of dogs, lurchers, terriers, teckels , hounds and do it all, coursing, lamping , ferreting, shooting. A few dogs from here have went over to them, a litter brother to my brothers teckel is making a good reputation for itself for tracking wounded deer when stalking, and a few dogs have came over to us. The greyhound bitch my bitch is out of was sent over from Ireland. Its great to travel and see how others go about the game. Cheers.
  12. I’ve been to Spain a few times but not for hunting. One thing that interests me is hunting in the Canaries or Malta with Podenco types, Ive done “normal” coursing around the world but hunting rabbits with a pack of Podencos would be something different and new . Cheers.
  13. If you are working dogs to any degree you have to factor in injuries and vet bills. It’s sadly part of the game. If someone is happy with a dog that picks it’s runs, that’s fine, but it wouldn’t be for me, we all have different expectations, I just expect my dogs to try on anything they are slipped on. Cheers.
  14. I’m hoping to get over to Northern Ireland this season to hunt with the the lads on my WhatsApp group. One of the lads has been over and had a great time. Cheers.
  15. The Austrian Freedom Party was evidently formed in 1956 by two ex SS Officers. The other parties have refused to work in coalition with them. Strange how Europe is lurching to the right but we have voted in this bunch of Socialists c**ts ….. Cheers.
  16. An amazing life; he was a Rhodes Scholar, went to Oxford, a Golden Gloves boxer, a US Army Ranger helicopter pilot as well as an actor, singer and songwriter. Ive got the Highwaymen CD in my car, love the old nostalgic cowboy songs. Cheers.
  17. There’s a massive difference between a dog that picks its runs and a dog that has been run to a standstill. They will all Jack if they are run beyond their capabilities. It’s knowing when to stop. A dog that picks it’s runs is a lazy, exasperating cur. Just my opinion, of course. Cheers.
  18. Lack of drive… you should pick the runs, not the dog. Cheers.
  19. Our jock pal said to me “ Och old yins bruise easily” Full of sympathy ! LOL ! Cheers.
  20. No mate , just a bog standard tumble in the dark, maybe misjudged the distance, and landed badly . Nothing broken, maybe a cracked rib, but nothing to worry about. Cheers.
  21. You sound like my missus ! LOL ! ” You’re 72 not 22 ! “ Cheers.
  22. He had a good right hook mate, but you should see the mess of him ! LOL ! Nah , nothing so interesting, just an old man taking an unfortunate tumble ! Cheers.
  23. I’m not drinking mate, I’m laid up with an injury; Its probably all the painkillers I’m on dulling my brain ! Cheers.
  24. I would have put a greyhound over this Doberman bitch, but she was speyed before I got her ; Cheers.
  25. Och aye , they ‘weegies “ were fond o the malky ! Cheers.
