    When I was a kid growing up in the 50’s and 60’s, and were moved out of Central Newcastle to the suburbs during the slum clearances, the demographic was exclusively white working class. Then, on our new build council estate in the suburbs, we only had two kids at school who were “different”; a half caste girl who’s dad was Jamaican and came over on the Windrush, how he made it this far north was a bit of a mystery; and a Polish lad who’s family came over after the war to work in the coal mines. Strangely, it was the white Polish kid who was bullied, the half caste girl was seen as so

    I imported a bitch and she had to do six months quarantine. When she came home she had lick granuloma’s on both front feet. I tried various vets and cures but none worked . Eventually I used Fuciderm daily in conjunction with a plastic head collar. It took months to cure and had to be careful it didn’t recur. I spoke to a retired vet I used to shoot with and she said it was most likely caused by stress and boredom in the quarantine kennels. Cheers.

    No mate; it’s the same with motor bikes, when I was younger and fell off, I’d bounce, now if I fell off I’d break ! LOL !. Cheers.

    My grandson loves his horses and was literally on a horse before he could walk. I told his mother it must be the combination of the Irish and the Bedouin in him ! She just smiles indulgently at my nonsense! Cheers.

    Did you know the kilt and bagpipes were invented in Northumberland ? (That should wind a few up ! LOL !). Cheers.

    No, my grandparents were Irish. My surname came over with the Norman invasion and is traced back to the vikings that settled in Normandy. I consider myself “English by birth, Geordie by the grace of God !” Cheers.

    That’s not a kilt, it’s a smock ! Cheers.

    Do you still wear full DPM or have you upgraded to MTP when you’re hiding in a ditch monitoring enemy positions ? PMSL ! Cheers.

    I’m only joking mate, if people want all the paraphernalia that’s fine, I’ve never condemned any type of hunting, but I like to be un-encumbered when I’m out day or night , travelling light and not losing a fortunes worth of kit if it comes on top ! Cheers.

    I had night vision over 30 years ago, I bought two Russian sets off some Dhagastani Haji’s . Tried them once out lamping and sold them. I’d rather just go with my lamp. Same with daytime, just me and the dog. You lads are paying more for thermals than I pay for a car ! Thermals, range finders, binoculars ? Just get a gun FFS ! LOL ! Cheers.

    I go out daytime to enjoy the walk with the dogs and get a run or two on a hare……not to creep about, tooled up like an SAS Trooper reconnoitring enemy lines ! LOL ! Cheers.

    Yes, not just dogs but birds and all things countryside. He once asked if he could use some photo’s of my dogs in the update of his book “Deerhounds and Deerhound Lurchers “ and I sent him the pics, but the publisher said they were copies and not good enough and needed the originals which I sadly didn’t have. Again, a lurcher man whose dad had non-ped whippets ! Cheers.

    No mate, I’ve heard of him but never met him . Deer/Greys we’re very popular here in the north east before the saluki cross came along. Billy Doherty and his dad bred some great pure and cross deerhounds, (Doxhope), that performed great on hare and roe. My pal bred some top class deerhounds, (Seaton Valley Deerhounds). I haven’t allways been a “deerhound” man, I’ve had everything from Salukis to beddy types to whippets, even once had a collie cross ! I keep an open mind and as I’m now well into my 70’s I may just end up back with a whippet. You can have great fun with a lurc
