Very varied, fells, coastal, arable, woods, heather uplands. Plenty to go at, deer , hares even wild goats. Kielder Forest supposed to have the biggest roe population in the country. White hares on the borders. Plenty reservoirs if you like fishing, or coastal wrecks. The place where Fullerton was bred and schooled is just up the road from me and is still lifting with hares. A lot of it belongs to the Duke and is well keepered but it’s a vast area and sometimes you don’t see anyone for hours. Thats what I like about this country, you can be on all types of l -
Just said on the news that the army has been called in to remove the blockers. Cheers.

I thought NATO got involved because the Bosnian Serbs massacred 8.000 Muslims in Srebrinica ? Cheers.

Yeah, Northumberland, I can guarantee it will get plenty of gear put in front of it Cheers.

My pal is getting a black bitch. Cheers.

Mate, I’m talking honestly and genuinely now. You know nothing of the countries, the people, the politics or the history of the Middle East other than snippets you’ve heard. Theres a book , The Seven Pillars Of Wisdom, by T.E. Lawrence, ( Lawrence of Arabia). He tell of the duplicity , the dishonesty , the broken promises of Britain, France and the Arab Kings, Princes and Potentates of the Middle East in the Sykes-Piqot carve up of the Middle East. I recommend you read it as, at least, a start , in understanding the complexities of the Middle East Cheers.

No, it was the spoils of war. Turkey was defeated, it couldn’t be allowed to keep an Empire that might make it powerful again, just like the Hapsburg Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. Why would Britain and France deliberately want to cause problems for themselves. War in the Middle East isn’t something new, the Arab tribes were fighting each other for millennia before the Ottoman Empire or when Britain and France took over. Why do you allways end a question with “LOL “ ? I’ll try to answer your questions as best I can , but I get the impression you are allways trying to trip peopl

Where to start ? The Persians invading Greece? Or more recent; Japan invading Manchuria,(China) and Korea, not to mention Pearl Harbour, ( I think Trump may have mentioned it). Or China invading Tibet. Or Viet Nam invading Cambodia My point was it’s not just “the West” that invaded other countries, it’s just that since the Middle Ages “the west” has advanced so much more than the rest of the world, we saw an opportunity to gain empires and riches and took it with both hands. Threres an ebb and flow, it wasn’t so long ago we were bullying. China…..not so much n

You’re talking in absolutes again How about the Arabs invading Europe and setting up a Caliphate in what is now Spain and Portugal ? Or the Mongols invading Europe and getting as far as Hungary ? while the “west” has been, by and large, superior, it hasn’t always been one way traffic Cheers.
-
Which is exactly why I and others are not overjoyed at almost all our net zero technology and hardware is supplied by China and chinese electric vehicles are flooding the market Cheers.

Where do you think we get our F35’s from ? Are you seriously suggesting that a country of five million people can produce every part of their military needs ? The UK has 70 odd million people and still relies on other countries technologies. Russia gets technology and equipment from China, Iran, North Korea, I doubt there’s a country in the world that doesn’t import technology. China does it by reverse engineering, but no country with a modern military is self sufficient in technology. Saudi is almost totally reliant on imported technologies, why should isreal be any di

I thought you were going to tell the one about the monkey and the hyena walking through the jungle when a lion jumps out and sets about the hyena. The monkey shoots off up a tree and the lion kills the hyena. The lion looks up at the monkey and asks; “ why didn’t you help your pal, the hyena ?”. The monkey replies; “he was laughing that much, I thought he was winning !”. Cheers.

What’s that got to do with the fact America hasn’t supported isreal in every war. Why do you deflect all the time ? Isreal uses American , British and other countries weapons technologies but has an envious military industrial complex of its own. Cheers
-
The yanks haven’t supported isreal in every war isreal has fought “Scream for peace” ? Are you watching what’s going on ? Isreal is still hitting Iran and refusing to stop the invasion of Lebanon. They’ve never “screamed for peace” in any conflict they’ve been involved in. I’ll converse and debate with you all day , but please stop the untrue rhetoric Cheers. Cheers.
-
If we are talking about the modern inception of isreal, the have fought and won a succession of wars against overwhelming odds against the Arab countries that surround them; They took the Golan Heights from Syria. They took the West Bank from Jordon They took the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt . They are busy fighting a war on two fronts , against Iran and Lebanon and have control of Southern Lebanon. Almost every country can lose a war and survive, but not Israel; they lose one war and there’s no more isreal. Cheers.

USS George Bush carrier group and the Boxer Marine Expeditionary Group on their way to the region, will take two weeks to get there …… Cheers.

Mate, he kept saying iran had hit EVERY base in the Middle East. I pointed out that was completely untrue and named a few bases that hadn’t been hit but he won’t accept that and keeps deflecting and moving the goal posts. Ive no doubt he’s busy compiling a list of bases that HAVE been hit, but that will have absolutely no relevance to the fact he insists ALL Middle East bases have been hit. He would rather embarrass himself than just hold his hands up and say he was wrong Cheers
-
Sad thing is, he probably believes Ali rather than someone with actual first hand knowledge. Cheers.
-
The only fact you need to come up with is one that agrees with you that Iran “ HIT EVERY BASE IN THE MIDDLE EAST” Cheers.
-
Stop it, please stop it , you haven’t a clue how many bases there are in the Middle East, and as I will remind you, You have said multiple times that Iran has hit EVERY base in the Middle East, but are now trying to weasel out of it without admitting you were completely wrong.. I need not go on, everyone can see it Cheers.
-
What are you talking about ? I can say with certainty that Iran HAS NOT HIT EVERY BASE IN THE MIDDLE EAST; you have said, more than once , that they have and you are completely wrong. Don’t bother mate, take my advice about logging off for a while, you are embarrassing yourself Cheers.
-
I don’t know, but Stiffy was right, the goal posts are moving Stop scrabbling about, you said EVERY base in the Middle East which is absolutely wrong. Take some advice from an old man , have a break from here log off for a while; every post you put on makes you look more foolish. Cheers.
-
Yes they hit one at the Prince Sultan Air Base , east of Riyadh. It took you long enough to find that, you should have just asked Cheers.
-
He’s frantically trawling through Google to try and challenge what I’ve said. Cheers.

I try to keep it humorous but it angers me when he keeps repeating the same nonsense over and over. Ive just thought of a new Chart Proverb ; “ Just as nature abhors a vacuum; I abhor the vacuous ! “ Cheers.
