    This one is 16 years old and on it's third dog and as good as new. Just scrub it in hot soapy water now and again. Cheers.

    The Mini Manchester Terrier I had would bark at his food for ten minutes every time it was put in front of him before eating it ! The barking got worse as he got older, then he barked non-stop from three in the morning until nine, and I mean non-stop, monotonous barking. He took " the one way walk" very shortly afterwards....... Cheers.

    Reeding all this, I must be really lucky ! I've got two deerhound crosses and a chihuahua, (yes, honestly, a chihuahua !), in my kennels, and can't fault them. No shitting or pissing in the runs, but they're hardly in them if I'm honest. The pups partial to digging holes in the raised beds at the Allotments, but I'll soon beat that out of the little f****r. Apart from that, no complaints. Cheers.

    Or, to paraphrase Tommy Trinder; " Over here, over priced and over rated ! " ? Cheers.

    I guess we could say in a Venn Diagram we could have Salukis in the middle, and they run in the slop here and on the sand in a lot of Middle East countries we have bombed ! ? A bit tenuous....... Cheers.

    I never said we would use conventional forces to defend our country from a conventional attacker. We use conventional forces, including drones, to take out potential terrorist attacks, and sadly, to try and impose regime change. How many terrorist attacks on us do you think have been foiled by drone or covert ops ? I haven't a clue, but I'm sure there has been many. We obviously don't agree on defence of the realm, so there's no point going round in circles. I respect and appreciate everyone's opinion, and my opinions are just that, MINE, doesn't make them right, just what

    A governments first priority is, and should be, the defence of the country and its people. Without a credible defence and deterrent , everything else is at risk. If the government was to say, for instance, "we will stop giving overseas aid to Pakistan, India and China, and spend the money on defence, education, and the NHS", they would have my vote. £800 million on drones for defence pales into insignificance compared to money wasted on aid, the Lords, etc. I guess it's just what your priorities are . Cheers.

    Reapers are a lot cheaper than an f35, and there's no chance of losing an extremely well trained pilot. Apart from that, terrorist targets shit themselves when their house or car may be targeted and they don't know when hel(fire) is going to be unleashed from beyond the horizon. A very effective weapons platform. Cheers.

    Tell that to the Taliban........? Cheers.

    I'm afraid the classics are becoming more and more irrelevant. They will teach the formulae, but no mention of Euclid, Pythagoras, Archemidies. Only old autodidacts like myself and Astanley still refer to the classics in everyday conversation ! ? ! Cheers.

    Yeah. One would come up to NCL once a week and spend a day going around in circles getting the local pilot his hours in . Cheers.

    Remember Freddy the Frog video ? ??? ! Cheers.

    That would more than likely be pilot recurrent training. Pilots have to log so many hours a month to keep their licence. Cheers.

    I wouldn't worry to much about police fixed wing aircraft when out poaching. Theyve become somewhat of an embarrassment, and may be given to the Coastguard . They are not as effective as rotary wing helicopters, not as manoeuvrable, need specialised runways, slower to get in the air, can't "loiter", and are, generally, more expensive to operate. Seems they were a bit of a vanity project, costing millions, but, of course, no one will be held responsible ! Cheers.

    That was back early 70's mate, light Fawn I'd call it. Cheers.

    I've had pure pit; Pure saluki; and most things inbetween, so it matters not a jot to me mate, I was just being mischievous! ? ! Cheers.

    It's called the Hunting Life "meander". Some threads go off at a tangent, some drift off course, others are hijacked by breed blind people with no interest in anything other than what they see through their rose tinted glasses ! ??? ! No offence mC, mate ? Cheers.

    Growing as quick as a weed, put on an inch in a week ! ? ! Cheers.

    Missus did a different take on a cheesecake yesterday. Custard cream biscuits for the base and sides, custard in with the cottage cheese and cream, and shaved almond topping ; Cheers.

    Aren't they turning into the mess that is the English bulldog ? Cheers.
