Socks never mentioned it, so it can't be true ! Cheers.

Or have her have an unfortunate "accident" in the shithole Syrian refugee camp............ Cheers.

No, that's the Lords.......even worse than MP's.........WE vote in the MP's , Lords get peerages for being doners, sycophants , bag carriers, or because they know " where the bodies are buried", in other words , have some dirt on those in charge. The whole set up is corrupt as f**k ? Cheers.

I used to live in easy walking distance of Washington Wetlands, and ran a lot of hares around Sunderland airport and the Nissan. I'm now only about 15-20 mile away, over the river, Tyne that is, not Wear ! ? As I said, I know the bird 'flu is real, but the way the government ant MSN exaggerate things, I sometimes get very cynical, but I'll still do what I can to obey the rules ? Cheers.

Yeah, I saw that outbreak at a turkey farm ........devastating, I know it's real, but small time, allotment keepers like me, who are fairly isolated, are governed by the same rules as the huge professional guys, and subject to the same draconian fines, so I have to bite the bullet and do as I'm told. Shame as I've got some game fowl just coming on the lay, strange time of year, but I think I'll leave the incubator until the spring, especially with this so called egg shortage ! ?? Cheers.

I could eat those with a crisp, chilled, Chardonnay ?? Cheers.

We've been told to lock all our poultry up in sheds, but I haven't heard of any poultry keepers local who's birds have caught bird 'flu ? I walk a lot of countryside and haven't seen one dead bird, apart from the ones that were meant to be ?? Another over reaction ? I don't know, but my birds are pretty isolated anyway, but how on earth can you keep them isolated from wild birds ? Cheers.

My seven year old grandson is half Saudi and lives in Saudi Arabia. He sent me a voice message yesterday congratulating England's win. Ive just sent him a message congratulating Saudi on beating Argentina. He will be in a bit of a quandary, as he supports Saudi but loves Messi ! At least Messi scored, so he should be happy ! Cheers.

What's the world coming to ? A man who has ate goat with the Pashtuns in the Khyber Pass. Who's ate camel with the Tourags in the Sahel. Who's ate (possibly) dog in the Philippines. And who knows what other oriental delicacies on his travels is now complaining that his chicken is "a bit pink" ! This western decadence is making you soft mate ! ? Get back on your travels , mate ? Cheers.

Charles ? Rush ? Toshack ? Giggs ? Cheers.

Well, the Taffs certainly out sung the Yanks......let's hope they can outplay them ! ? Cheers.

Heavy frost here today, no rain. Great for a good wander around ? Cheers.

That was in Dubai, I had the kestrel in Saudi ? Hamed was schooling that bird for the ruler of the UAE, he paid $100,000 for it.....I was shitting in case it started baiting and damaged itself ! ?! Cheers.

They have free movement of people and are part of Shengen. They also pay around £1B a year to the EU. They want every agreement to be bespoke, but the EU wants a "one size fits all", ( read "all" to mean it fits the EU ! ). You can't give up bits of your sovereignty to the EU......they want it all. Cheers.

The Arab League countries banned Coke in retaliation to Americas support for Israel during the 70's, and I think the ban started to get lifted in the late 80's, by then brands like Pepsi and Crown cola were well established, but Coke made a big comeback.....I know it's my daughter in laws and my grandsons favourite cola now ! ?? Cheers.
-
Coke are one of the official sponsors. Cheers.

It's a SWISS style agreement, not SWEDISH, which is Brexit in name only. Rejoining the single market. Freedom of movement. Accepting all laws and rules made by the EU. Accepting the EU Courts jurisdiction. Paying into the EU. Only difference is the UK wouldn't have a seat at the table, and no say in any decisions. It would be the first step to rejoining.......... Cheers.

Just watched Harry Kane being interviewed, he's adamant that he will wear the puffs armband, even if he gets a yellow card for it and England get fined by FIFA. If all these LGBTGTV8+ footballers feel so strongly , why didn't they just refuse to go ? Cheers.
-
I had a kestrel, it would take the hood and come to the glove but it was just a pet, I spent a bit of time at Hamed Ghunaims mews in Dubai, but didn't get to see any of his birds fly, Cheers.

21" and 35lb whippet. No way could he be considered "a deer dog" but he took a few roe. This was back in the 60's. Cheers.
-
Life goes on mate, it has to ? Cheers.

Makes you wonder what you'd do in these dire situations. Both my children died in my arms from cancer......I'd have given my life gladly to save them, I've had a great life and am quite old, but sadly it doesn't work that way. Cheers.

Yes mate, I used to hunt with the Border Hunt out of Otterburn and have a pint in the Percy, I think it's an Italian coffee house now. My mother was a Ropson, an old reiver name. There's a lot of old fortified farm houses, known as bastles, around the area from those days, as well as keeps, there's one in Ponteland. Loads of history around Northumberland and Newcastle, I live about 50 yards from Hadrians Wall. Cheers.

The mans a multi millionaire, why on earth would he peddle pups ? He was a freind of my daughters, he made me welcome and looked after me and her when we were in his company. He is the Chairman of the World Saluki Society , yes, I saw him refuse to sell dogs and refuse to stud dogs out, but that's his perogative. I'd advise anyone who goes out to Dubai for a holiday to look him up......if they are interested in coursing dogs, they'll enjoy his company. Cheers.

That was before the quarantine was changed mate. The Sheik told me I could have one of the pups but six month quarantine would ruin it, and I agreeded with him. I brought the Doberman back and done six month quarantine and cost £1500 , the money didn't bother me but the quarantine was heartbreaking . Hamed gets some shit off lads here, but I know the man and nobody has the saluki closer to his heart ? Cheers.
