  1. We need to change the name of the site to “The Meandering Life” ! LOL ! From “Big Cats “ to “Big George” ! Not that I’m complaining, I’m one of the worst, ( or best), at going off topic. Cheers.
  2. Have you thought about Platts ? Cheers.
  3. .303 more like it ! LOL ! Cheers.
  4. We used to make pure alcohol and to turn it into “Cointreau “ we would 3/4 fill a sealable jar with the alcohol and hang an orange just above the liquid The alcohol would suck the orange dry until it looked like a walnut , and take up all the flavour. I haven’t got any fruit trees, but I like lemon cucumber in a G & T. They are about the shape and size of a tennis ball, I might give growing one of them in a jar then fill it with gin ! Cheers.
  5. Just seen a video of it , looks keen ! Cheers.
  6. Many years ago, I was on an invite only site, Don will know what I’m talking about, and a lad, who I now consider a pal, asked me how many deer do I kill with my dog. I said I’m happy if I get into double figures. He said that’s not bad for a week. I said that’s for a f****n season ! LOL ! But then again, I’m a very honest man ! LOL ! Cheers.
  7. Change his name to “Terminator “ mate ! LOL ! Cheers.
  8. He will bring his racing lurcher and his coursing bred and run them both on hares. Cheers.
  9. He’s welcome any time up here, I’d like to see how White Fang performs on the Northumberland heather fells . Maybe it would shock me, but I remember a coursing bred called Solo my mate who had Bruce the rescue dog, brought up for a run, it soon went back ! LOL ! Horses for courses, as they say ! Cheers.
  10. Mate , I’ve had pure Salukis and crosses, and most other types. Ive no out and out favourites, but I have a soft spot for Salukis, whippets and deerhound crosses. I don’t care for collie crosses or bull crosses, yes, I know there are good ones, but I just don’t care for them. Mick is very breed blind, of course, as I’ve said many times, the coursing bred is without doubt the best day time hare dog there is, but that doesn’t mean it suits everyone. Ive travelled the world to work and see dogs, and I’m looking forward to my Ireland trip, where the lads have said I’ll see hounds
  11. I’ll be 74 then mate, I might have started slowing down by then ! LOL ! Cheers.
  12. Then a hop over to N.I. should be no bother , c’mon mate, I drove from Newcastle to Wales, got the ferry to Dublin, drove another 200 miles to county offaly with two dogs in the motor , 800 miles round trip not even counting the ferry crossings. Let the Irish lads see a world beater ! Cheers.
  13. It’s a bit of fun mate, he can give it out and take it ! Cheers.
  14. I’ve told you many times : read, re-read before you post ! That tiny little “if” makes a massive difference ! I think you are starting to panic as the season gets nearer ! Have a word with Gunter, I’m sure he’ll still make you welcome, as will the other lads, and me, of course. You really need to go further than your postcode mate ! Cheers.
  15. Here’s your full post, exactly the same one as shaaark and I put up ! Cheers.
  16. Are you having a breakdown , mate ? Cheers.
  17. I talk to Max almost daily and he hasn’t mentioned taking a greyhound down to mC’s. I don’t think he has any greyhounds now, only lurchers but I may be mistaken . Cheers.
  18. I can’t drink scotch , mate, hate the stuff, but strangely I like a drop of that ! Did you get a result on the dig ? Cheers.
  19. “a woman , a dog and a walnut tree; the more you beat them, the better they be” ! English proverb from the 1600’s. Cheers.
  20. I’m generally in favour of Christian values, but I quite like the line “spare the rod; spoil the child “ adage ! Sometimes a jolly good thrashing is the only cure for truculent adolescents ! Cheers.
  21. I yearn for the days when sages, shamans and oracles were respected ! LOL ! Cheers.
  22. My cucumber in a bottle is coming on great . (No, that’s not code…..although who knows ? ). That should have the tin foil hat brigade working overtime! LOL ! Cheets.
  23. I’m blushing ! LOL ! Cheers.
  24. When I was in the market for a pup some years ago, a top coursing man, who is still a regular poster on here, offered me one of the two pups he kept back for free. I won’t embarrass him by naming him. Some men are genuine and not in it for the money…… Cheers.
  25. Just two things; Nobody wins in Afghanistan, not the British, not the Americans and certainly not you heroes the Russians ! I won’t be buying any pups in Ireland, friends don’t charge; friends recognise good dog men and gift pups ! I’ve had more offers of pups than you had successfull history lessons at school, but that’s a bad anology, I’m not sure you even went to school !LOL ! Cheers.
