  1. Mate, I’m a bit of an enigma in this; I’m an Arabist, ( NOT , I hasten to add, an Islamist ! ), but also a bit of a Zionist in that I think the Jews should have their own homeland. Mutually incompatible ? Maybe……But it’s just my opinion through knowing people from both sides. Cheers.
  2. One of the things I like about the internet is you read things that get your interest and you can immediately get information on what you’ve read. I’ve just spent a few minutes reading about The Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve. Wont make one iota of difference to my life, but interesting anyway ! Cheers.
  3. Not wanting an argument mate, but that statement piqued my interest. I only googled three countries that have been involved in wars lately, Iraq, Libya and Ukraine, and they all have Central Banks ? Cheers.
  4. Germany and Russia had a pact, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the Hitler - Stalin Pact just before WW2 to not attack each other and to split up Eastern Europe between them. Then Hitler got greedy and launched Operation Barbarossa and invaded Russia, breaking the pact and causing Russia to align with the Allies. Why Russia has attacked Ukraine is open to interpretation on who you believe, but Russia was happy to cooperate with Nazi Germany before WW2 until Hitler done the dirty on them , turned out to be a big mistake ! Cheers.
  5. Yes mate !!!! Check the shipping to Newcastle-Upon Tyne , England , UK . And let me know Cheers.
  6. There’s lots of the heads about, especially in America where they say it’s a cross between a Jack rabbit and an antelope. Id love one for the man cave. Cheers.
  7. I was expecting someone else to tell me his dogs have killed 1,000’s ! LOL ! Cheers.
  8. A cross between a hare and a roe, only found in wildest Northumberland ! Cheers.
  9. There’s a pub, The Black Cock, at the foot of Kielder dam in Falstone that had the best Jackalope head I’ve seen. I wanted to buy it but they wouldn’t sell ; This is a file photo, not the one in the pub. Cheers.
  10. What is it you take “firmament “ to mean ? Cheers.
  11. Do you honestly believe that every rocket and space probe that’s been sent to study mars, Jupiter, the sun etc, is a hoax ? I’ve read the bible and took firmament to mean everything outside the realms of earth, not a physical barrier. Cheers.
  12. Because he was a scientist and physicist who spent his life studying and trying to understand the workings of the Universe. Just like Einstein said “god was a mathematician, he didn’t play dice”. what conspiracy was Einstein referring to ? Dont just read the first line of a conspiracy theory, mate. Look at it objectively, read conclusions from all aspects and make a reasoned decision. Cheers.
  13. By what stretch of the imagination does that equate to the moon landings being a hoax ? Cheers.
  14. The phone was linked to a S-band radio transmitter/responder at Mission Control. Reducing it to something even you might understand, it’s like using a land line to call a moblle or maybe you’re not old enough to remember dial-up internet connections. Cheers.
  15. Who talked on a land line to the moon ? Cheers.
  16. There were six moon landings and 12 men walked on the moon . There were over 400,000 people involved either directly or indirectly. The moonshots were monitored by Americas friends and enemies, including Russia, China, the UK , Australia, Japan and European countries. Everyone coverup a hoax , or were fooled , or they really happened ? I know what I think…… Cheers.
  17. True; Border collie, staffy and two Ridgebacks x lab, caught their fair share of pigs; This dog killed any amount of fox, but as soon as he made the step up to boar he was killed; Cheers
  18. I’ve got no interest in getting involved. Been through it all before. I've got my invite to Ireland and an invite to Saudi to look forward to. Cheers.
  19. Hennie eggs under the call duck have started hatching; two chicks today; Cheers.
  20. It’s called “Christmas cake “ in the racing dog world, but I’ve never seen it in whippet racing, and I’m sure there is drug testing in greyhound racing where there is gambling. Cheers.
  21. Well I must just be an old fashioned dog man … if I had to use steroids on my dogs, I’d give the game up. Cheers.
  22. Pedigree whippets have their own organisation, but we have classes for peds and non- peds at most, if not all ,clubs. Obvioulsly , to win a Racing Championship in the pedigrees , is just as successful as winning in the non-peds, but pedigree whippets simply can’t compete with a non- ped whippets for speed. Yes, of course non-ped whippets are heavily greyhound influenced, but that’s the point, to get a dog the size of a whippet with the speed of the greyhound. I can see where this will go, but it is what it is, the pedigree racers do their thing, the non-ped racers do their thing
  23. Max and I get on well but we are polar different in our football, but I can make the distinction between football and dogs. He’s a dog man whose bred winning greyhounds and coursing dogs, now he’s on a quest to breed a lurcher as fast as a non-ped whippet. I help him in supplying the breeding of the non-peds he’s interested in and hope he gets what he’s after. Cheers.
  24. None of us are perfect , Don …….well maybe mC hull ! Cheers.
  25. I’ll be seeing Max on Sunday, and I’ll try to get him back on, but he’s adamant he won’t. Shame as he’s a top dog man. Cheers.
