  1. What war are you watching ? The Russians made a blitzkreig for Kiev and got stopped and pushed back, so made a run for the Dombas and, again, got stopped. Its now turned into WW1 type “trench warfare” with neither side making any progress and losing thousands of troops on each side and Russias materiel being degraded massively. It’ll Peter out to a stalemate and a negotiated cease fire with Russia keeping the Crimea and some of the Dombas region. There won’t be any winner, but NATO has seen that Russia isn’t the super power they think they are . So, as usual, just my opi
  2. A Newcastle match the other week, Ally McCoist was commentating and a corner was cleared by a Newcastle header, McCoist said “ they are never going to get past Newcastles defence like that, all their defenders are all 6’4” ! It was Keiran Trippier who headed away, the smallest player on the pitch ! Cheers.
  3. My neighbour , ex Newcastle player John Anderson, comments on the games for radio Newcastle, and he once slipped up when a co commentators asked him “well John, how do you think the games going ?” John replied “ how the f**k do you think ? We’re 5-0 up at half time ! “ LOL ! Cheers.
  4. George ripped him a new one ! Doesn’t matter what you think of him, a piss poor interviewer like that sap will never get the better of Galloway ! Better get the popcorn in for next weeks PMQ’s ! Cheers.
  5. Watching the darts tonight and the commentator said “ If he hadn’t missed 17 darts at a double the game would have been a lot closer” ! The other night a commentator said “ If he had scored better and hit more doubles than his opponent, he might have won the game” ! Im old enough to remember “Whispering “ Ted Lowe commenting on a snooker match when he said “ he needs the blue, and for anyone watching in black and white, that’s the ball next to the green” ! Sometimes its best just to turn the sound off ! LOL ! Cheers.
  6. The Khoisan click language would be easier to learn than Irish Gaelic ….. Cheers.
  7. Galloway is a carpetbagger; he’s already talking about standing in Bethnal Green at the General Election as he knows that Labour will have a candidate in Rochdale that will beat him. His right hand man , Williamson , is so far left he makes Corbyn look like Thatcher, but if they found a parliamentary seat that had a majority of far right voters, Galloway would be wearing a Nazi uniform and telling everyone that Hitler was really a good man ! Morals ? Scruples ? Integrity ? Honour ? Traits you won’t find in any politician, but don’t be looking for them in Galloway ! Just my opinion
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Does “basic” have to be ugly ? Looks like something Trabant would have produced years ago. Cheers.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. “Bullherder” ? Never heard of them; are they the new designer dog the peddlers are peddling ? Cheers.
  14. So they are not living in Nissen huts and bell tents these days ? Spoilt fuckers ! LOL ! Cheers,
  15. I was at the Teams just a few days ago. I well remember the Waggon Team pub, a great landmark ! Cheers.
  16. A Gatesheed lad ! Just like mesel ! Cheers.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. That reminds me of the advert on tv for bags of coal ……”Contains organic material”. Cheers.
  22. There’s no fooling you ,mate ! LOL ! Cheers.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
