    We caught eight of these one morning in Oz, the government payed us A$10 for each scalp; In this country I would have been arrested ! Cheers.

    I tend to take a more paternalistic view with mC; I consider him more a wayward child, a prodigal son, someone who is just misguided, who needs nurturing, educating, gently nudged in the right direction, like a highly strung saluki or a skittish colt ! An impossible task ? No, difficult certainly, but I’m up for the challenge Cheers.

    I’m loathe to be accused of invoking Godwins Law, but Hitler, generally considered to be “far right”, banned fox hunting in Germany. The Bolsheviks, generally considered to be “far left”, banned hunting with dogs in Russia. So, yes, there are exceptions to the rule, but I stick by me belief that, in general, in the UK, the right support hunting; the left oppose hunting. Cheers.

    Well, in my opinion, if you pare it down to the basics, the further right you go politically, the more, generally, they will support field sports and hunting.....the further left you go politically, the more, generally, they will be against field sports and hunting. Of course the Torys are, in my mind, no longer a party of the right, and almost all of our politicians are now left of centre, so we sadly have no elected politicians on the side of field sports and hunting. Cheers.

    It seems to be the Treasury that insists on huge immigration numbers, as this supposedly increases the country's GDP, even though it DECREASES GDP per capita by holding down wages . Cheers.

    In Saudi Arabia, each airport has a huge holding cell in the basement capable of holding up to 400 people. All illegal immigrants are immediately placed in these cells and fed bread, rice and water until there is enough of one nationally to fill a jumbo jet and then they are flown to their own country …no appeals, no legal aid , nothing ! Perhaps that’s why they aren’t being over run by illegals ? Cheers.

    Like Vietnam; “if it runs it’s Vietcong; if it doesn’t run it’s an arrogant Vietcong” ! Cheers.

    I well remember the Provi tickets and the Provi women coming every week to collect the half a crown or whatever. I also remember the wasters who’d get a Provi and sell it in the bar for half price to buy tabs or beer. And people think they are badly off now if they can’t get the latest iPhone …. Cheers.

    Yeah, Whitley Bay was within walking distance of where I lived as a kid, but we’d have bus trips to Roker ! Mind you, going to Sunderland was like going to a foreign country ! Cheers.

    I’m a bit of a cynic…. Most 6 minute courses are nearer 2 minutes, and all 500 yard lamping slips are less than 200 yards ! LOL ! Cheets.

    One of the (many) sad things about Gaza is that it could have used the aid money to improve the beautiful Mediterranean coastline it has with infrastructure like hotels, marinas, duty free shopping malls, etc. This would have provided jobs, income and economically benefited the population. Instead, Hamas has used the money on their military. It could have been the Dubai of the Mediterranean. Cheers.

    No mate, I just meant rabbit, hare, fox and roe. There’s none of the other deer species around here so he never got to run them. Cheers.

    That photo would be the death knell for any British politician! The woke, SJW, lefties would see to that ! Cheers.

    I last spoke to him two or three years ago at my local Hunt show. I was going to have a run out with him but didn't get round to it. I don't know if Don lined any bitches, Tomo might know. Cheers.

    Wasn't Andy's dog Don a lurcher x collie ? I may be wrong but I think it may have been sired by his minshayJack and the dam was an Irish collie ? Tomo seen it work and seemed to rate it. Cheers.

    I've seen 'em, mate. Ive no interest in seeing a dog dragged round a field for six minutes these days. On and off double quick, then move on ! Cheers.

    Who wants to run a scabby for six plus minutes ? LOL ! Cheers.

    Saluki/bull/grey; Wasnt worth a candle until it turned 18 month then something clicked and it started taking everything day and night. Died while out lamping rabbits. Cheers.

    I only had that one in my kennel for a couple of days. It wasn't mine. To be fair, it took a good daytime winter hare in decent style. Cheers.

    I’ve thought for a long time that we are in the midst of the decline and fall of the western world ! The autocratic and despotic states are laughing at us. They don’t need to go to war with us, they can just sit back and watch us destroy ourselves ! You don’t see asylum seekers or economic migrants rushing to get into Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, etc ! Yet we don’t just accept them , we actively encourage them. I’m not saying we should emulate the non-democratic states, far from it, but we must reverse the inexorable drift to the left and the woke ideology. The

    When I first went on the Australian hunting sites, I had the same; I put it down to "two countries separated by a common language" , much like the UK and the USA ! But after meeting some of the lads and chatting and hunting with them, I was welcomed and accepted and became firm friends with them. Dont worry about what we call "the craic", you seem to deal with it with aplomb ! LOL ! Cheers.
