    Looks like one of those WW2 leather jerkins that dustmen used to wear ! Not knocking it, have you seen how much they cost now, if you can find one ! Cheers,
  2. Cameron entered a Coalition with the LibDems; Nick Clegg as Deputy Prime Minister, who immediately did an about turn on University fees, and his side kick Ed Davey who as Post Office Minister did a Pontius Pilate and washed his hands of the Horizon scandal; “ nothing to do with me mate “ ! Theresa May entered a “confidence and supply agreement “ with the DUP, until they disagreed with her Brexit deal and walked away. So, I’m not keen on either arrangement. I’d rather have a government with a huge majority of , say, eighty seats so they can get things done ….oh ! Hold on, that didn’t
  3. Starmer has denied it but I’d bet in the event of a hung Parliament he would form a coalition with the LibDem/SNP/Greens or anyone else that would get him into Number Ten. Cheers.
  4. As well as showing and judging Deerhounds; Ms. Noble also coursed them regularly with the Deerhound and Saluki Coursing Club ; Cheers.
  5. I fear it’s a rod I’ve made for my own back ! PMSL ! Cheers.
  6. I was obviously disappointed at yesterday’s result as it means Newcastle will not be playing European football next season, but to be honest, I’d say it’s fairer for a team that has actually won a trophy to qualify for Europe, that a team that finished seventh in the league and needed someone else to lose, to qualify for Europe ! Man U played probably better yesterday than they have all season and Man City probably played worse than they have all season, but that’s the magic of the Cup ! What not playing in Europe means for Newcastle is hard to say, but on the whole, I think we would
  7. Worked running dogs with gun dogs; even had the odd gun dog in my kennel, but none of the gun dogs belonged to me. Maybe I should have been more precise in my post; I’ve never had the experience of owning and working gun dogs and running dogs, but I have had some limited experience of it . Cheers.
  8. Seen it, but never owned them ….. Cheers.
  9. No experience of it, but last year a pal of mine bred a litter of genuine working GSP’s and kept two back until eight month old then decided which one he was keeping and offered to gift me the other one. I agonised over taking it, but decided not to. I’m a running dog man and probably couldn’t give it the type of training and work it deserved, but I still wonder if I made the wrong decision. Cheers
  10. How many years have we been talking about this ? We need to get organised and do it ! Im not getting any younger, you know ! LOL ! Cheers.
  11. I have to respectfully disagree. Taylor hit two nine darters in the Premier League and I’m sure his averages and number of 180’s are still the best. He was exceptional and a long way better than his contemporaries. Yes, there are more players playing to a very high standard now, but I think he would, in his prime, be the one to beat now. Littler, in my opinion is the only one who could match or better Taylor’s record , because he’s young enough and good enough, as long as he keeps his head. I notice once or twice he showboats a bit, nothing wrong with that unless it’s seen as trying to
  12. The proposed law has now been discontinued due to the upcoming election. Any proposed new legislation has to receive Royal Assent today or It will be abandoned. That’s not to say the Tories or Labour won’t try to resurrect it after the election. Cheers.
  13. Don’t know about “things can only get better”; I can only see accelerated national decline with a Labour Government, as we will surely have on the 5th July…… Cheers.
  14. I think the Hunting Act has it covered by saying it’s illegal to hunt MAMMALS with a dog ; there’s no mention of native or non-native species. Cheers.
  15. I’ve never seen a working Dogo in person. Has anyone else on here ? What could they do here in the UK that a purpose bred lurcher couldn’t ? There’s dogs here that take everything in the UK , including the big deer and boar, so what would be the point of a Dogo ? I’ve often thought about having a working type Borzoi or Chartpolski or Azawak or whatever, but what would be the point ? There’s probably better lurchers available for the quarry we have here, so the “exotic” types would only be an indulgence. Just my opinion, of course. Cheers.
  16. BANZAI ! We will never accept defeat Cheers.
  17. You’re like one of those Jap soldiers, holding out on a remote Pacific island , long after the war ended, refusing to accept the result, mate ! PMSL ! Cheers.
  18. Hesgoal. You have to download some app. Cheers.
  19. I won’t be, I’ll be watching it on a snide channel, if I can stay awake long enough ! LOL ! Cheers.
  20. I don’t know if he’s been on the front line or not, but if he wins it will be massive for Ukrainian moral. It would be the opposite for moral if he WAS on the front line and was killed or, even worse, captured and paraded on tv . Just my opinion, of course. Cheers.
  21. We both do our bit, mate, I grow stuff, keep poultry, etc and she cooks stuff. Been married 48 years, so it must be working ! Cheers.
  22. Peter Hitchens ! My old adversary , LOL ! I once got the better of him in a debate about the pros and cons of the U.S.S.R. back when he was a communist before his lurch to the right. He wasn’t amused and name-checked me and slagged me off in his Sunday Mail column. Ive softened my attitude towards him since his conversion to Conservatism, and I agree with a lot of what he says on his regular appearances on GBNews, so yes, peoples views and opinions can change with age, experience and a changing world . Cheers.
  23. My missus has been busy in the kitchen while I was at the allotment; Two spiced mince & onion pies; A ham & sweet pepper quiche; And there’s a cheesecake in the ‘fridge ! Cheers.
  24. When she was asked her views and opinions on Hamas and her views and opinions on Israel’s right to exist, she wouldn’t answer and said that had nothing to do with the student protests, she said she had something to do with “world communism “ and the protests were about overthrowing the capitalist system ! Another over entitled, over opinionated woman, with probably no idea what the history of the “Middle East problem” is and most likely couldn’t point to Gaza on a map ! Just another revolutionary student who will probably grow up to be a Labour politician…. Just my opinion, of cou
  25. Fico was about to introduce a law banning Slovak public service broadcasting and replace it with a pro government broadcaster. A lot of people see this as an attack on free speech, the assassin was supposedly angry about it. Cheers.
