  1. Never grew the black variety, but did grow the chocolate variety one year. Contrary to the name, they don't taste of chocolate, they just have chocolate brown skins. I've had a great crop this year from plants I was given off a lad on the Allotments. Various types, all doing well; Cheers.
  2. He couldn't possibly say. OSA, old boy, OSA ? Cheers.
  3. I can't remember HAVING to catch something to eat because there was nothing in the 'fridge, but I can remember not having a 'fridge.....or a 'phone, or a telly ? I know when times were a little tough, we would sell rabbits around the pubs and clubs, there was allways a market for them back then, or we would steal a box of fish or crabs from the fish quay to sell, but it was never because we were starving, it was for our beer money or to put petrol in the old van. I still eat most of what I catch or give it away. I like cooking and eating game, and it fits in with my hobby, sport, pas
  4. None that I've noticed ? I remember my doctor telling me to cut out sea food, red meat, liver, etc. Then when I was giving blood they said I had low heamoglobin, and should eat, yes you've guessed it, more sea food, red meat, liver, etc ! ? I eat pretty healthy anyway, so I just carried on with that. Havent had an attack for years, since I started the annopurinol , touch wood ! The doctors I spoke to seem to think it was hereditary, not so much my diet that caused the uric acid levels and retention, as there was a family history of it. Cheers.
  5. Used to get gout really bad, but now one Allopurinol a day, for the rest of my life, seems to have done the trick ? Cheers.
  6. Didn't her other RS sell for around £28,000 ? Cheers.
  7. Didn't some yank drive his Tesla into the desert and set fire to it rather than pay the extortionate price they wanted for a new battery ? And these fuckers want to force us to buy electric cars, while quadrupling the price of electricity ! Cheers.
  8. Many years ago, some acquaintances of mine were doing the cigarette runs on the Dover Calais ferry. The didn't even get off in France, they paid off the duty free guy on the ferry and simply bought all the stock. They made a fortune out of it, but the poor saps who were the mules got a few quid and a ferry trip. Anyhow, two of them thought they were "big guys" and Cook set them up in a honey trap, they didn't just spill the beans, they bragged about things way above their pay grade ! They were on the Cook Show, bang to rights, but the brains behind it ended up millionaires !
  9. I'll agree it's "degrees" of protest, but in these instances I think they are cowards. They target the wrong people, knowing full well they will get great exposure but very little, if any, reprisals. If they ran a ministers car of the road or invaded number ten, they would be hit with everything the police, the government and the law could throw at them, but no, they know the punishment for disrupting people's lives, smashing a few windows at a press office or destroying a few pumps on forecourt will be met with little or no punishment. If they feel so strongly, let them be mart
  10. Exactly ! let them smash the windows in Downing Street or the Houses of Parliament or the ministers cars, then they would probably get my sympathy. But targeting ordinary motorists doesn't make sense, it will only alienate them. Cheers.
  11. Be interesting to see if you still think that when they target methane emissions and come on your farm and kill your livestock with impunity. Cheers.
  12. Religious nuts, mate. They have themselves crucified at Easter. Cheers.
  13. Believe me, I have to bite my tongue at times ! ? ! Cheers.
  14. It seems that something quite trivial has went off at a tangent and got very personal and nothing to do with the origional post, nothing unusual on here , of course. We have a very wide spectrum of people on here, I learned a long time ago to take it for what it is, an Internet forum nothing to do with reality. I used to get involved in these spats, but life moved on and my outlook changed......maybe I just got old ? Cheers.
  15. All this because a lad posts in his American accent ? What about our Irish and Scots pals who post in their own particular brogue ? Or the cockney lads who keep throwing in rhyming slang to keep us on our toes ? Or the p***y wannabe's with their gypsy slang ? Or my protege mC who seems to write in a strange East Yorkshire language that is completely devoid of punctuation ? ? C'mon lads, it's a hunting site, not the Oxford debating society ! ? Cheers.
  16. Keep posting Wolfy ? Your English is no worse, and in some cases better, than a lot who post on here ? Cheers.
  17. I don't get it, mate ? Cheers.
  18. Was the deerhound type you got from mik one of the brother sister mating ? I often wondered how they turned out. The sire was a fine looking dog, I remember giving it supreme champion at Neilston when foxgun tom and gash roped me into judging ! Cheers.
  19. I have an ongoing dispute with a local 'keeper, and some years ago him and two of his pals pulled me as I was walking over the two fields between my Allotments and house. I had the Doberman and Delta, my little Beddy type with me. The keeper threatened to give me a hiding, showing off in front of his pals. Anyhow, I leashed up the lurcher and called the Doberman to my side. I said you can try to give me a hiding, but you'll need to be good. The Doberman seemed to sense the tension and gave that stare and low growl that only a doban can..... I could see the confidence draining from th
  20. The people that own dogs treat them like anyone else would. The Bedouin treat them as prized possessions. Cheers.
  21. I was gifted a 6 month old saluki in saudi, and when I had it put down at 17 years old, the guy that gave it to me sent an 18 month old doberman to replace it. It wasn't a breed I ever would have chosen, but it would have been churlish and disrespectful to have refused it. I ended up bringing it home with me when I retired, and I loved that bitch ! Faithfull, defensive, loyal, even the missus loved it and she has nothing whatsoever to do with my dogs. I had the Doberman, (not my missus !), put down when her back legs went and she got the Doberman head wobble when she was 1
  22. On foot evidently. Hope it was better than these three ! Johnny Rambo made short work of them ! ? Cheers.
  23. I swear on my bank managers life , Tel ! ?? Cheers.
  24. The world record for a dog tracking a criminal was 100 mile across South Africa by a Doberman ? Cheers.
