    She's female and she's with her dog .Picture taken circa late 70's, lady in question now in her late 70's. But just what was my Mum doing in a field of stubble with a rather fit- looking coursing whippet?

    I'm relatively new on here and not that well -up on using the site or computers in general but I hope no one minds me making a suggestion. I've read the entries and voted. They deserve a wider audience. Why not post and pin them in one of the forums for a week or so? That way they are bound to attract more attention. Some sort of voting /rating system could be put in place at the end of each article. As I said ,I'm not that clued up on the mechanics of these things and there may be technical

    Really suits her too Mackem .You know how some children are said to have old souls ? Well she is a newbie.Bright little 5 year-old fairy. Her little brother is an old soul -takes after Mum. He's called Dennis. Stalwart name.

    My Mum is called Joyce Mabel Winifred.My Great Grandad -Octavius Algernon. I myself had a very close call because the vicar had'nt seen me before the Christening. , " I name this child....For F*cks sake its a bloody monkey!" MY Grandaughter is called Summer after the time of year she was born....It's a good job that she was'nt born at Christmas or that my daughter did'nt go into labour at Traffic lights because her married surname actually is Light.

    I am to computers what Idi Amin was to democracy. Can someone spare a few minutes to help me? Got one of those USB information exchange things."Data traveler 1GB". Managed to load some photo's onto it from a computer with no Internet connection. Also loaded a three page,A4 sized document that had taken me longer than I care to admit to type . Wanted to put the lot into this computer because it is on the Internet. Photo's loaded fine but document stayed in the Device. (hope that makes sense). Am I silly in that these devices can't transfer documents only photo's? Or mor

    Just had to add this...I reckon that a lot of you won't have the faintest idea how much Ditch 's been involved in the promotion of fieldsports . Time and expense freely given. Rumours of covert activity aimed at combating the antis.( I certainly would never have driven him to that phone box if I'd known that it might have caused disruption to the Anti-Hunt ball ! ) His work for the enviroment ? .The recycling -long before it was trendy . Always carried out with intense enthusiasm . Dunno where the idea that "he decided to call himself a pest controller " came from. The mush is a hunter

    Ditch ,a dirty old hermit with" issues".? In 1985 ,devastated by the untimely death of my lovely lurcher I phoned Ditch in tears . Yes in tears. I needed another dog to bring -on, a puppy to give me a new interest and purpose. Ditch made the calls ( He was'nt the only person on this site who was involved ) and I ended up with what I reckon was destined to be my "Dog of a Lifetime". I could say many good things about the man and still not give true credit to his multi-facetted talents and unique insight.. But let's face it the Ditch Sh*tter we know

    This old bugger is about 100 years old but still up to a bit of ferreting.In fact he gets even grumpier that usual if he,s left behind.

    Ditch's gone . Had his reasons , If he wanted everyone to know em he'd 've said.Discreet exit. I'll miss him(on here) .Knowed him 25 years ago,got on THL and even with a move to Ireland and the "Ditch Sh*tter" tag I knew it was him just by the way he wrote! Bit of a coincidence .My first time on a computer ,first time ever on a "site" of any kind and within a couple of days I'm thinkin ," That Ditch Sh*tter" has just got to be XXXX!

    Showed this pic before .They really are great insects. Thems inches not centimeters for the younger veiwers.

    Just visited a friend in hospital. She's just had a hysterectomy( Only in her thirties too .Bet she was gutted! ) She's had a bit of trouble with low oxygen levels and a nurse came round and put a couple of little tubes up her nose . I really don't know what got into me but after a few minutes of idle chat I reached over and pinched the air - tube for a few seconds. Mildly amused, my friend pretended to pass-out and I released the tube. Woosh! all the pent -up oxygen I'd trapped in the tube shot straight up her nose!. She then collapsed into uncontrolled laughter intersp

    As everyone is saying", Domed, we're all domed". As for practice? Obviously you should practice and set your sights up with the same pellet you are going to use for work.

    Can we do aTHL problem page...? Dear Comanche my girlfriend is carrying another man's child .What should I be doing ? I forgot to add that we have a daughter of our own . from "Straight"of Brighton. C says; Well "Straight" of Brighton. Obviously you should buy her some glasses.This will stop her picking -up the wrong child. Or could it be that your own kid is an ugly little bugger and she is trying to swap it for something better? Also tell her

    Look what happened to my skin the very second I turned 50 .You have a way to go yet though.Please accept the picture as a do- it -yourself card -just add your own greeting ! Happy Birthday!

    Still no luck? If they're not going in your trap or taking your free offerings then, as is being said, the foxes are feeding elswhere. Maybe find that place?.Move the trap? Something we used to do when I was Keepering was to leave the trap closed but put a fresh bait in every few days. Once we felt something was about we'd set the trap. Bit like when a fox checks out a chicken hut every night ,just waiting for the night the owner is late shutting the door. Often an instantaneous result. Good luck

    Ah but even a lot of split cane rods were actually rubbish foreign imports -even Woolies sold a split-cane fly rod in the sixties.! Get hold of a good one and its very different. Sure ,if you want to fish to the modern style you'll need modern tackle and not everyone actually has a suitably "organic" mentality for fishing the old way. The control you get from direct contact with a fish via a cane rod and centre -pin is amazing -not to mention the new skills aquired such as using your hand as a clutch,your arms as extensions of the rod and different styles of casting. Great write -up MC

    Comanche is an idiot and sad fool who has to leave his own comments .He is also smelly!

    Thanks (A bit belated ,sorry ) for that advice. Old thing went straight through the MOT but the free play was an "advisory" .Your instructions make perfect sense .Thanks very much!

    Try squirrel for bait and use a few dead ones as groundbait. They are a tough ,snatchable bait .Foxes can be very confident in taking them .My theory is that they get used to snatching road casualties up obviously have to do it quick to avoid being run-over themselves.

    Havin re-read the post I think Foxdropper might well be worth paying heed to. Those birds pictured have been eaten after death .Is excessive feather -pecking or bullying is going on between the live birds?. If so you have a management problem. Managment problems aside,(and they will always increase the risk of disease ) If only the dead birds have been eaten you may , as FDropper warns, have a disease problem .In which case giving them an early release to relieve stress must be balenced against the need to diagnose and treat possible disease lest it take hold in your healthy stock or f

    The bigger the run the more places they will poo.It's like marking their territory .

    I've been told that it is possible to reduce free play in my steering box and have what appears to be an adjuster and lock-nut . Is this true and any tips most welcome ?
