No, I never voted for Blair. Cheers.

I voted Labour most of my life, (and I've been around a fair while !), but my doubts set in with Bair and Brown, then were confirmed by the fool Milliband and the traitorous tramp Corbyn ! I voted UKIP, and then Brexit party because a message had to be sent to the main parties. I used to say " if the only choice on the ballot paper was conservative or stick pins in my own eyes......pass me the pins! ", but at the last election I voted Tory ; why ? Well they were the only party that would get Brexit done. Labour would have kept us in or left with a deal that made us no more than a vas

Back when I was racing, most northern clubs had a 21" limit, and ran on time handicap. The yards per pounders had a 32lb limit, and the scratch races were up to 32lb and no - limit. When I got back int it, I couldn't believe the number of scratch race catergories there was. I have to admit, I do like a no limit Dog, though ! Cheers.

Since the BWRA raised the weight limit to 55lb, the non-peds sure aren't whippets ! Im certainly not knocking them, I started with non-peds back in the 60's and wouldn't mind another before Im past it. I still enjoy a day at my local tracks, and consider them the fasted dogs in the world over the shorter distance. They are vastly faster than the peds of the same weight class, but are really scaled down greyhounds. Ive seen a few of the top ones behind a hare the odd time, and it's exciting, but your heart is certainly in your mouth ! Cheers.

I prefer this; Cheers.

Cheers.

Yeah ! Its just like them fukin Romans ! What did they ever give us, eh ??? Oh.......wait a minute. Cheers.

There it is again ! That word "darkies" ! Its like it's the new buzzword ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
"Darkie"; now there's a word we don't here so much these days ! Reminds me of years ago when I met and became unlikely friends with Lee Evans, the Olympic 400 metres double gold medalist, record holder and civil rights activist. We were standing at a busy bar one night, Lee was talking to a huge, black, American football line backer, when I overheard the guy say to Lee , "has your new White pal used the "N" word yet ? " I turned to them and said " I'm English, from Newcastle. We don't call you niggers, we call you darkies " ! It went very quiet, and the guy looked as if he

Some years ago, Chipper invited LDR and myself for a day out on his permission. I, unfortunately, couldn't make it but LDR had a good day, with Chippers mixed pack of terriers and Teckels flushing the woods, and I'm sure LDR's dog Bruce took the only two roe flushed that day. Days like that, with people like that, are, sadly, long gone. Great craic with him, wether hunting or at shows. Cheers.
-
Yeah, I know mate. He used to send me free passes for the Wolsingham Show. A good lad. Cheers.

What a b*****d ! Should have had the flat screen telly, x box, iPad , iPhone 11, Purdey, and his missus' mink coat in the back of the truck, and really made a killing off the insurance ! Dont bite, Ken, I'm only joking ! I hope the lad IS covered for his losses. Cheers.
-
I don't know the lads name, but he was ring steward that day. Wee Chipper Smith was the judge, and he immediately identified Moscow as a "Minshaw", even though he knew the type I keep. One of the games characters. He's the first person I saw with working Teckels. Cheers.

It was rhetorical, and I thought the answer was obvious ! ? ! Oh, well. Cheers.

A little quiz; There are three men; One was the author of "The Dodgy Dossier "; a tissue of lies that drew us into an ilegal war, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, many of them innocent women and children. One was the editor of a newspaper that he knowingly allowed to print fake pictures of British soldiers committing atrocities on its front page . One was a sick father who, rightly or wrongly, drove his child 260 miles to his grandfathers house to be cared for. Two of these men are apoplectic with rage, incandescent with indignation at

When all this started, I thought " well, I've got my hens and ducks, more eggs than I can eat, maybe barter a few; two big allotments full of veg, a couple of old dogs that can still mug off a clamped hare or a roe hitting a fence, I can snare a rabbit or two, take a few roosting birds with the old BSA Meteor, wipe my arse on a dock leaf.....I'll probably survive". My nephew was worried about Macdonalds and KFC closing .......... Cheers.

When I was talking to her, she said what makes her angry is people equating this with the war ! She said people aren't dropping bombs on us, there's no rationing and young men aren't going off and not coming back ! People are complaining about queuing, but they can still get whatever they want, not getting to the front of the queue only for the butcher or baker telling you there's no meat or bread left ! Last of her generation, I worry about future generations........ Cheers.
-
Sorry mate, my mistake ? I'm sure the other deer cross in the pic was one of theirs aswell. Cheers.
-
I judged plenty of so called "minshaws", but I can assure you that was the only time Moscow was shown, just a bit of fun by me. Cheers.
-
Chipper Smith. Thats Rupert Slacks mother with the red rosette and one of his old deerhound crosses. Cheers
-
Check the date on the rosette if it's still on your fridge !?! Cheers.
-
The only rosette that's ever crossed Joe's doorstep ! LOL ! I think Moscow was about 12 in this pic, Joe ? Cheers.

There's an "expert" from the SAGE Committee on tv now talking about "interpreting" the rules. I'm not sure what the rules are ! It was my mothers 89th birthday yesterday, she lives 10 mile away and I didn't visit her as I thought I'd be breaking the "rules". I phoned her, she said she misses the fresh eggs I give her, and aren't I allowed to deliver food to her ? Could I make a 20 mile round trip every morning with two fresh eggs for her breakfast, or do I run the risk of some curtain twitching neighbor reporting me to the police ? By the way, I'm not neglecting my aged mo

Those with the knifes out for Cummings are saying it's one rule for him, another rule for everyone else. Fair enough; if they want him sacked for breaking the rules, do they REALY want EVERYONE who breaks the rules to be sacked ? If the RULES are the same for everyone; surely the PUNISHMENT should be the same for everyone ? Or is it just party political and self interest hypocrisy ? Cheers.
-
Exactly !!! Ive no time for politicians, and the hypocrisy is laughable ! Sir Keir Starmmer on tv piously saying Cummings should be sacked because he's putting people's lives at risk, yet said nothing when Kinnock did the same thing ! The left hate Cummings because he's very effective at what he does, and some Torys hate him because they think he's to powerful, the Civil Service hate him because he wants to reform it, so they all think this is a great chance to undermine him ! Cheers.
