  1. I was just joking , Dodge, but I remember seeing a rare Mini Cooper S being sold for many thousands and all that was used in the rebuild was the Vehicle Identification Plate ! Every thing else was replaced, body, engine, running gear , interior, the lot , but it retained its original registration even though, to all intents and purposes it was a brand new car ! Im not saying this is the case with the car you posted about . Cheers.
  2. A million miles on a car is nothing…..if it’s like Triggers brush ! Cheers.
  3. I said “ might, just might”, I’m an optimist! LOL ! Cheers.
  4. He’d be most welcome, I could put up a camp bed in the man cave and I’ve spare kennels for his dogs. He’d get to meet people who have different types of dogs, who do different types of hunting, see different types of ground and he might, just might go home with a more open mind ! LOL ! Cheers.
  5. I think most on here put in some serious graft, and some have retired after a lot of serious graft…….but there are one or two dilettantes ! LOL ! Cheers.
  6. That made me think of my dads badger bristle shaving brush, so I had a look on line, and amazingly they are still available ! Im surprised the woke brigade haven’t had them banned ! Cheers.
  7. I travelled over to Ireland to judge a show, and I’ve got a standing invitation to judge one of the biggest shows in Australia which I hope to do sometime, but this show is literally a few minutes from me. Theres lads coming from Lancs and Scotland as well as from Northumberland, so there should be some good craic ! Cheers.
  8. Anyone going to the show on Saturday ? Its in aid of one of my local hunts, the Tynedale. Theres a few of us going, it’s only minutes from my house, to support them. Cheers.
  9. I make plum vodka the same way. Cheers.
  10. Wasn’t Branson talking about something like this years ago ? Fly up out of the atmosphere and let the earths rotation do the work and drop down to Australia an hour or so later ? Mind you, I don’t know how he was going to overcome flying upside down when he got to Australia , maybe that’s why he didn’t do it ? LOL ! Cheers.
  11. Sloe gin is extremely easy to make, so why try to “re-invent the wheel” ? Pick your sloe berries after they had a frost, or if picked before a frost, put them in the freezer for a few days. Fill a DemiJohn or another container 1/3rd with sloe berries . Add sugar until it just covers the berries. Add your gin and give a good shake. Leave for as long as possible, or at least a couple of months, shaking up once a week. Strain off into bottles and enjoy ! I sometimes add a bottle of red wine to the mix, but it isn’t a must . Cheers.
  12. Is it only fox hunting, Terry ? Cheers.
  13. How on earth can France demand anything of us ? We have the nuclear deterrent and the best equipped armed forces in Europe, one of our carrier groups is setting sail today ! Europe needs OUR forces, we should tell Macron to go f**k himself, if he mentions fishing again we should threaten to pull all our forces out of Europe, especially those on the front line in the Baltic states and re-assess any defence pact, in force or suggested ! But of course Starmer is a fifth columnist, working to take us back into the EU and relinquish our sovereignty to Brussels ! Cheers.
  14. I wasn’t going to intrude on the Popes passing with something as gauche’ as football shirts, but you’ve opened the door for me, so you’re to blame ! LOL ! I send lots of football kit to my grandson in Saudi , but my missus has just come back from there and brought me these; Al Ahli, my grandsons favourite Saudi team, almost identical to Newcastles away shirt; Al Ittihad, a family friend was Chairman and still has connections to the club; Both teams owned by PIF, so “sister clubs” to Newcastle. My sympathies to all catholics and anyone mourning the passing o
  15. I don’t know. Just had a look, it means two contradicting statements in the same sentence, I think. Like wanting to catch something before it becomes extinct, therefore hastening that extinction. Of course I could be completely wrong . Cheers.
  16. “I want to catch some before they become extinct “ Not sure if that’s an oxymoron or a paradox…….. Cheers.
  17. When talking to Daywalkers don’t believe anything you hear, and only half you see …..
  18. And watched by a goldie as his mate collected hair that I’d stripped from the bitch, to make a nest; An excellent few hours at the allotment ! Cheers.
  19. Mangetout , sugar snaps and asparagus peas ready to plant out; Cheers.
  20. Pumpkins, and three types of cucumber, and aubergines ready to plant out/repot; Cheers.
  21. Celery and celeriac planted out but still under glass; Cheers.
