    Excellent yield, Jigs ? We are allowed to have hives on our Allotments but you need to have done the bee keeping course. The council would pay for the course at one time, but not now. Also, you need the agreement of every other allotment tenant, and there's at least one who would never egree. I think there's also some rules about netting surrounding the hives being a certain height. I fancied it at one time, but decided it was too much hassle. Cheers.

    I've had ongoing disputes with the local farmer and 'keeper for years. One time the farmers son in law jumped out of his tractor and started screaming at me as I walked from my house to my Allotments across the field. I simply got my 'phone out and told him to 'phone the land owner. He said HE was the landowner....I said no you're not, the Council is the land owner, and this is a public right of way, and the last time your father in law threatened to shoot people and their dogs, the council threatened to revoke the tenancy ! His attitude immediately changed and he said I could

    Reminds me of a "do" we had about 15 year ago. Me and a well known dog lad who used to be on here were out lamping. I had a young Beddy type on her first night on the dazzler. Anyway, Delta was running a rabbit ragged, and I was fully engrossed in the chase when Danny shouted "quick let's go ! ". Two quads both two up, were tearing across the field towards us ! Off we ran. Now, Danny, being about 30 and me being 55, soon sprinted past me ! "Danny, Danny," I shouted. "What? " He shouted back, "Stop and ask them what they want and I'll get the motor started" I repl

    I dunno , Kieth. I'm not long back in from having the dogs out and an hour or two at the Allotments. Now I'm sitting in the man cave, listening to Smooth radio, sipping a nice white wine, plate of pate' and crackers, not a care in the world.......and you have to go and spoil it ! ?? Cheers.

    Being pedantic, it's a "longdog", not a "lurcher", but I know what you mean, I call all mine "lurchers" ? Cheers.

    I like Nietzsche, any one who espouses Ubermensch and nihilism gets my vote ! ?? I knew an old retired airline pilot, who studied Nietzsche, he wrote a book called " In Defence Of Moral Hedonism " , heavily influenced by Nietzsche, he gifted me the origional manuscript. He told me he was the first to cross the Rub Al Kalil single handed. When I pointed out that Burton had done it years before, he said "Ah, but he rode camels, I walked " ! He was last heard of sailing single handed from the Red Sea port of Jeddah to an island he owned in the Philippines at the age of 80, to

    If I was in dire straits, shoplifting would be perfectly acceptable, especially when these upper middle class, trust fund, university drop out shit bags, who don't need to do it, get away with it ? Cheers.

    What about those two shithouses that went into shops and got bottles of milk of the shelves and poured them on the floor and over the cheese counters ? Some sort of vegan protesters. The staff stood by and watched, and when a shopper asked why they didn't intervene, they said "they weren't allowed to" ! The police said they were "aware of the incidents but no arrests have been made". I wonder if that was a bloke out of work, skint and at his wits end had shoplifted the milk for his kids, how would he have been treated........... Cheers.

    I've only ever had tiny bits of permission that usually hold very little, but, as Elchapo says, it's handy to have if you get a tug on the way home from somewhere else ?. Ive allways "freelanced", but I can understand being upset if someone was "freelancing" on my permission, but not to the point of packing in. Cheers.

    I found the serVice excellent from Boston, New York to Texas, wether in a restaurant or a market. I did a "big shop" in Schepplers, the western store in Texas and when I was paying, the girl asked for my zip code, when I said I didn't know wha that was she asked where I was from. I said Saudi Arabia, but I was British....that was it, the line behind me and the staff all wanted to talk to me , it took ages to get out the place ! At the grocery store there'd be a young man or girl who would pack your bags and carry them to your car, and allways called you sir ! You don't mind tipping f

    Tipping can be a nightmare in the States ! A friends daughter was a waitress in an Outback restaurant and her only wage was her tips, and she had to pay two busboys aswell ! Cheers.

    Interesting, in Arabic the words saluki and sloughi are the same, have the same meaning, just pronounced differently in North African Arabic and Gulf Arabic dialects. Just like for "chicken", an Egyptian will say "dégag" and a Saudi will say "dejaz", but they understand each other. Forget Google, every Arab enthusiast I've met will say the saluki and sloughi are the same, the differences are cosmetic due to selective breeding for their area. Plus, because of trade routes etc, the Saluki, sloughi, azawakh, tazi, Afghan will have been traded and inter bred for centuries. The galgos wa

    I said "smile", not "educate" ? But you're correct, you're never to old to learn, I consider myself an autodidact polymath, so I go out of my way to learn as much as I can. Cheers.

    Most decent threads go this way now. In fact, the only threads that make me smile are the conspiracy ones ! ?? ! Cheers.
