    The second pic is probably Anastasia Noble. A true deerhound enthusiast. Cheers.

    Just my own thoughts, but I feel Blair, Mandelson and Campbell thought we would vote remain in the EU referendum, and Blairs ultimate goal was President of Europe. A man with no honour, no principles and no loyalty.....he would have suited the job perfectly. Now with The Order of the Garter he is firmly established in the heart of the Establishment, and will be able to get up to all the mischief he wants. Cheers.

    Correct, he's a chancer who used the Labour Party to great effect. How many voted for them when he was leader, thinking they were voting for a socialist government ? Cheers.

    What next ? Lord Corbyn ? These Socialist republicans soon change when there's a bauble to be had........ To quote the Great Groucho; " These are my principals.....if you don't like them, I have others". Cheers.

    That's perfect. When I got the adjoining allotment, I moved all the poultry into there and I built a raised bed where the chicken run used to be. Years of chicken shite and straw, just turned it over and put turnip plugs in that I'd grown from seed in the greenhouse, and the came up great. Cheers.

    I've done no-dig for years, just rotorvate it in every three years. Make my own compost, and the chicken and duck shite goes in as well, the pikeys have horses literally outside my Allotments so plenty of horse shite aswell, make sure the poultry and horse shite is well rotted or the acid will kill the plants. For root veg, I mix in some sharp sand into the beds. Shop bought compost is far to expensive, defeats the point of growing your own stuff. Pleanty leaf mould around for free ! Cheers.

    That last big storm took my poly tunnel cover right off ! My own fault. Should have removed it for the winter ! As far as slugs go, I just use the blue pellets from the pound shop. I understand your reluctance to use chemicals, I try to be as organic as possible, but they are the only thing that seems to be effective. By the way, everything in my polytunnel is in 25 litre containers, not direct into the ground. mC , I use equal amounts of well rotted horse shite, compost and soil. Cheers.

    What's trust got to do with facts ? Man has walked on the moon, simple as that. You don't want to believe it, as I've said, that's your prerogative. Your views of the world have absolutely no effect on my life, just as my views have no effect on yours ? Cheers.

    Ok, I said I wouldn't answer, but no, it's not suspicious, the costs are now so exhorbitant to find out the same things they already know. The experiments they would do on the moon can be successfully replicated to a great degree on the ISS at a fraction of the cost. The Americans could go back to the moon any time they wanted if congress would commit the money and resources Did you know that the Russians and Chinese are collaborating on a manned moon base in the near future ? Im sorry, but I find it exasperating that people doubt the moon landings, and I don't want to get into argum

    "Pull a crafty one" ????? Do you know how many manned moon landings there have been ? Do you know how many men have walked on the moon ? Everyone of them monitored by friends and foes, foes who would like nothing better than to discredit the USA ! Im not going to answer or add anything else to this discussion as it's pointless, If you and mC honestly believe it was was all a hoax or conspiracy then that's your prerogative. Cheers.
  12. chartpolski
    Of course. Over 400,000 scientists, engineers, physicists, medical people, etc directly involved in in the moon landing program, millions more in the supply chain, every step monitored by the UK, Russia, China, Canada, Australia , Japan. All of these sworn to secrecy ? All part of a great conspiracy? Why ? Surely the likes of Russia and China would love to disprove it ? Apart from the fact that I've worked with people in the aerospace industry that were involved and certainly weren't cranks or conspirers Cheers.

    Have a look at the van Allen belt; Its all about launch timing and direction to avoid dangerous exposure. Cheers.

    Years ago, we flew two Lamborghini pick-ups into Saudi for a prince to fly his falcons from. Turned out to be so unreliable he never used them. Not this one, it's a file photo. Cheers.

    Bet the owner of the jacked up Disco was a trifle embarrassed ! Cheers.

    Could you colourise this treasured old photo of my grandad ? Cheers ?

    Geoff bred some of the best non-peds, also some very good Beddy types. This was one of his breeding, Blisteringly fast, too fast for its own good, dropped both gracillis and retired early. Cheers.

    Great thread ? Some laughs, some great stories, some great knowledge. The way it should be. Cheers.

    I used to run whippets at the same track as Alan's dad, at Ashington, he had a good dog called bucephalas. God, I'm starting to feel very old ! ? ! Cheers.

    Country Music was a top racer and stud dog. Hes in the lines of many non-peds and lurchers. He was in Markbicks Kat, a class little lurcher bitch. Cheers..

    I like our little chats, and I appreciate and respect your opinions, but you will never agree that a non-ped is faster than a coursing bred on the run up. Which honestly makes me feel you've never seen a non-ped racing Whippet run a hare. Dont mistake a first cross Whippet/grey with a purpose bred non-ped, that would be like equating a first cross Saluki/grey with a purpose bred coursing dog. We used to run non-pets regularly on hares, but these days I don't know many who do, they far prefer the racing, but maybe some day I'll borrow one and we could have a run or two, it may just ch

    I thought creating lurchers for certain jobs was to get the best of both worlds; Saluki/Greyhound......the speed of one, the stamina of the other. Collie/grey..........the brains of one, the speed of the other Whippet/grey, in the case of non-ped racers, the speed of one, the size of the other. Of course it rarely works out like that, and if you're unlucky you end up with the speed of the collie and the brains of the greyhound ! ? ! Cheers.

    Of course there are exceptions, but I'm generalising, not taking going or ground into particular consideration. A non- ped is bred to sprint , a courser is, generally , bred to stay, get the best of both in one dog, and you've cracked it ! ? ! Cheers.
