Sorry I hadn’t seen it but 100% nail on the head couldn’t agree more. I do realise I could be an ignorant dope without a clue but I put some of it down to the modern schooling now. I never had any schooling learned my reading and writing in young offender prisons and little else. Anything I know about money and making it or keeping a house I learned from my father who couldn’t sign his name but he knew how to turn a few quid and no let anyone have his pants down in whatever dealings he had. It’s as if the youngsters now probably know they are getting a shit deal borrowing €1000 for a TV but th

Don’t think it’s even economics mel I just think people don’t have the patience anymore to save for anything or go without something to put money aside for something else in the future. And nobody seems to be pointing it out the people in charge who should be looking out for the future generations just seem content for their pals in the banks to keep handing them rope. It sickens me

No bud I wouldn’t really I’ve never really been into hares but used to have few days out with a few traveller friends in Northamptonshire they had mainly Salukis but the fair share of them ended up thumped. I’ve kept a few Wheaton and bull lurchers in my time and I’ve probably thumped more than I’ve had good ones but I’ve seen whippet x grey dogs kill foxes for sport. Ok there are books out there that will tell you a certain cross will do certain things but anyone who’s popped there head outside the gate and been around and done abit with different people over number of years any cross can be

No I get it. I was in London only 3 weeks ago and only my missus was with me we would have struggled to get a drink in around the west end. I don’t have any bank accounts and only use cash but she has a card a lot of the pubs won’t take cash now. I think they’ve copped on to what you’re saying about Ireland though. There’s too many people asset rich with farms etc. This mersecor deal will put pay to that it will take a few years but families will eventually crumble and sell. I do realise it was just a TV programme but a lot of the issues highlighted in Yellowstone will been seen I think. And b

mC HULL fair play to you your out a couple of times a week walking the walk and putting the miles in but there’s times you talk as if you’ve never left your back garden maybe it’s a wind up I dunno but if you’ve spent any amount of time out hunting with lads you’d realise and crosses produce different types whether that’s crosses of hounds terriers or lurchers to try and say an X will do that and a Y won’t just shows inexperience

People in Britain and Ireland as far as I can see are being sold the image of being well off and they are buying the image with borrowed money. I heard one the other day went something like what would you prefer.. a €1000 handbag with nothing in it or a €10 handbag with €990 in it. I think if people of a certain generation are looking around them at the moment they know which one 95% of 20-40 year olds would be happier with. And it cannot last.

Had a few cocker bred dogs over the years maybe 10 or 12 and I don’t think any made old bones they were all suicide bombers I think maybe 2 walked after a couple of hard digs but most were more than happy to see it through whatever the outcome- 12,907 replies

These WMCs must really be gone to f**k these days. As an Irishman I never really spent any time in them but I’d of reckoned if a known house burglar came in flashing a wallet of cash they’d of knocked the crap out of him. One keen terrier you have there though bangers the way he squeezed into that rabbit hole you could just see he was filled with intent- 12,907 replies

Love Christmas Day from start to finish go around on a couple of family visits in the morning time dropping off presents for the younger ones having a few drinks and catching up. Home then for a big turkey and ham roast with all the trimmings and a big bowl of trifle. Sleep then for 3 or 4 hours then up and get the place ready for a crowd to arrive in ours for a few drinks that night.

Tell me if I’m wrong but what I’ve noticed with the few youngsters that are into the bit of hunting now is that they don’t want to put the time in. Putting in a day out after hounds or a couple of hours on a good dig just doesn’t appeal to them and I’d say ferreting is the same. They want to be out at night with a thermal kill a pair of foxes in a half hour and be home with the pictures to send about. Walking for hours is just too much effort

Christmas party season is a young man’s game I really enjoy the Christmas period hounds out most days loads of digging plenty of drink and loads of family time. Last Christmas party I attended I was there as more of a tag along but I remember about 12 young lads killing each other full of drink it warmed the heart to see it

I wouldn’t have a notion but I do remember back in the late 80s and 90s I drank with some brickies from Derry they all worked in 3 and 1 gangs and seemingly they used to make serious money but they worked hard for it I suppose

Certainly intimidated a few in 74 when we marched an IRA guard of honour straight up the Kilburn high road. Looking back now that was laughable

I’d give him a million of my own if he promised to f**k off and vowed to not try and disrupt the hunting days of the week and let a man have a dig in peace. I’ve been reminded of my age and the amount of days out hunting I have left in my life is probably in the 100s depressing thoughts

Sooner 2000 pakis than the 3 English c**ts in my parish who have decided to take an interest in protesting the hunt 3 days a week and take into their own hands feeding peoples horses at the road side. I’d bet my bottom dollar they have come here to claim disability and carer payments too. Blow in c**ts hardly here 5 years and causing more trouble than anyone has had in the last 50
