  1. Spoke to Keeps quite recently, she's got a pure deerhound pup, same sire as my deer/grey pup. Im sure she won't mind me putting a pic of it up; Cheers.
  2. Now, it's not my intention to slag off any type or breed, but I've never understood why anyone would use a HPR type in creating a lurcher. These are types that have been bred for generations NOT to run in on game. Yes, I've seen some nice looking GWP x lurchers, and heard of some lab x's, but what do they add to a lurcher line that other breeds don't ? I may be wrong, of course, and I'm sure people own this type and are very happy with them, it's just my personal opinion ? Cheers.
  3. If you mean brown hares, well, I've hunted both sides of the border for many years and find no difference in them. If you mean white mountain hares compared to brown hares, that's a completely different game. Cheers.
  4. As "The Big Yin" said; "The desire to be a politician, should bar you for life from ever becoming one" ! "Don't vote, it just encourages them" ! Cheers.
  5. My old bitch Lima was from the last litter sired by Doxhope Knights Errant, to a litter sister of Westmead Hawk. This pup has Knights Errant as a grandsire. Her dam is an Irish coursing bitch, sired by Mafi Magic , the Irish coursing champion. Cheers.
  6. Comfort is king, when you get to my age ! ? ! Cheers.
  7. I look at mC as a sort of project. Like a LaRusso to my Myagi. Hes not a bad lad, just needs a bit of guidance ??. Cheers.
  8. Them shoes is slippers, just took the Dunlop wellies off ! ??! Cheers.
  9. "Grammar, dear boy, grammar". ?? Cheers.
  10. Injury, in my opinion. Never had one open up. Cheers.
  11. Parliament spent 70 hours debating Blairs illegal war with Iraq. Parliament spent 700 hours debating Blairs hunting ban. Priorities ........? Cheers.
  12. This is my last deer/grey, Lima, at around the same age; She made 29" and 75 lb. This pup is stockier and heavier boned, but I think she'll make around the same size, maybe not quite as tall. I think she'll be fully grown by then, but obviously not fully matured. I'll make my own evaluation when the time comes if she's ready or not. If I thinks she's not, I'll give her more time. I'll not risk ruining a dog by being impatient ? Cheers.
  13. Just an update on my first cross deer/grey, Nancy; Seven months old today, 27" and 62 lb; Coats coming in, and she's shaping up nicely. Still on course to give her a run around February. Cheers.
  14. So there's a secret whatsapp group on here made up of people who APPEAR to be at loggerheads with each other ???? Whats going on, false flags, misdirection ? Now THERES a conspiracy for you, Francie lad ! ??? ! I feel distinctly left out ! ? ! Cheers.
  15. I find it a bit curious that New Zealand is banning smoking when there is huge problems with crime, and drink and drug abuse, especially among the indigenous people. Ive spent some time in New Zealand, and have family there, and its a beautiful country, but they have their problems, like all countries. Watch the movie "Once were Warriors", gives a good insight. Cheers.
  16. Condensed version; Driving fields.........bad. Mythical romantic poacher taking a rabbit or pheasant to feed his starving children.......good. I think. Cheers.
  17. Don't know what "disco teeth" are, but it somehow reminded me of when a barmaid said someone had been in the bar looking for me. I asked her what he looked like, she said " he had teeth like a broken sleeping bag zip " ! Never did find out who it was. Cheers.
  18. I agree, cooked bones go brittle and splinter, but I'll hold up my hands and admit I've fed dogs cooked bones from the kitchen for over 55 years without a problem, but if one of my dogs got a perforated bowel, I'd only have myself to blame ! By the way, my dogs are fed mainly raw and BARF, but being a tight bugger, very little foodstuff in my house gets wasted, it goes to the dogs and the poultry ! Cheers.
  19. If by his "team" you mean the back bench MP's then yes, there are around 60 of them that will vote against the upcoming lockdown legislation. If you mean his cabinet, they are bound by "collective responsibility" and their only recourse if they disagree with him is to resign, but how many would have the honour to do that ? If you mean his SPAD team, they are mostly young and have their foot on the first rung of the political ladder and are in my mind sycophantic yes men and women who are telling him what he wants to hear and would never resign on principal. So, in my opinion, t
  20. I will probably vote for the Reform or Reclaim candidate at the next election unless there is a major shift to the right by the Tories. Cheers.
  21. The Tory party have form for getting rid of leaders, but I think Boris still has more popularity and voter appeal than any of his challengers. Id say, barring some major f**k ups, he's safe until after the next election. There was no split when they got rid of May, and Boris removed the whip from 21 remainers, so I'd say no, they're not likely to split now. Cheers
  22. Good post. The recent Labour front bench reshuffle sees committed europhiles like Starmer, Cooper, Lammy, Thornberry, etc, who, if they couldn't actually get us to rejoin the EU, would surrender huge swathes of our independence and sovereignty back to the EU. As you say, it's a sad state of affairs when the only choice is the least worst choice. Cheers.
  23. Yeah, it's a dilemma, Keith. I had my last two lurchers put down, old age and I'll health, and I briefly contemplated not getting another, at my age. But I knew I'd regret it, so when I was offered a pup that would suit me, I jumped at the chance. My dogs, poultry, Allotments are, admittedly, tying, but I'd be lost without them, and sitting around, watching day time TV isn't for me, (yet ! ). Chin up, owld mate ? Cheers.
  24. I don't know how people can afford to smoke ! Seen the price of them now, even the, ahem, "imports" ! Cheers.
