    Good luck mate. What do they say? The darkest hour is just before the dawn.

    Hope your house viewing goes well.

    Thanks mate  I've had offer on my bungalow, and accepted  it. This 2 bedroom bungalow  in south staffs , as no chain,so that's good , if like it  put a offer in. The people my end would like to be on before March he said  something about paying more stamp duty  after March. So if it goes OK in south staffs for me, you never know  I could have just before March. So the next couple weeks with knee  Op and poss buying this other place,  going to fair  bit of stress I have to deal with, but I need to move now, and make fresh  start  with my remaining  years head  of me.👍

Got little woody as well the jack x  chihuahua  thing   he  15 year old, and stubborn little prat lol. Like been said on pup post lurcher  sec.i not going to get another  dog till Buck gone . Got keyhole surgery  this Friday  on my right knee , so no driving  for a week, and try after  if not to much pain. So them 2 won't  be going for walk till text  wed-thursday. Then I take them be bit sore  but I do it . Then as been said.i might  be moving back to South staffs,  bit of look my March , I looking at 3 bedroom bungalow detached  next Thursday. If like it I go for it . So as you can see another  dog the last  thing I need right now. And being honest prob best let big lad enjoy his routine  that he used to, he as got that big lump on his side. Vet said he to old for a Op at his age, which is  true . But I will get another  lurcher when he gone, maybe  ex worker  male  something mid size good coat. But no rush as yet is there.? And thanks folks  for nice words from you all , it does cheer  me up lads. When your on your own.i very been a member on long while,  and met quite few people in flesh , but lots on who not, but still class you all as  great mates.i don't know what 2025  going to be like  knee done  could be new home going back to my roots . All the best folks for 2025.  Ray.👍👍

    It had an effect on me am not going to lie. Upset me to f**k. The bit where they nailed him to the cross. An he was crying out father. Imagine if that was your son you was witnessing having all that done to him. An knowing there's f**k all you could do. That's what broke the miss thinking of our son. 

    dont  think i could watch it, with all the pain put him through, it only makes me full on aggressive feelings towards the Romans . i know it what happened but gets me mad. i remember  watching the devils film with Oliver Reed  film , the part  where they broke knee caps, put steel pins through tongue  etc , then burned him to death . i nearly walked out of that, i watched it all though  . there was few walking out , when  he scream out when done his knees , fookin hell  he was brill actor  to make you feel  like that   deff.

    Have you seen the height of the modern gangly I.T,......and any hunting traits are nonexistent compared to a decent Russel type ,..just my opinion ,why risk tainting a good ratting line with a defunct breed 

    what  do think of a parson jack Russel ?  i seen a cracker last  year  not sure of it size , but looked nice racy build , strong and agile  small dog. the owner had him on lead, as once loose would piss off . now dont know if that bad training , or type of dog it is ?. now ive got  little woody  a jack x Chihuahua thing , was rescue   on streets  for couple weeks, my son had for near 2 years , now ive got him for 5 years now  vet think about 15, i think she right he gone real old and thin , eats well but dont put weight on, i think it age thing as well. but going back to when when was younger, he was stubborn twat   think parsons  be quite a handful type dog as well.?

    Heard Usyk say he wanted the cruiser weight belt , but surely thats afair bit of weight for him to drop ?

    That's it mate, I said about uysk  that if he a natural  cruiser 14st 4lb just over 200lb. And fought at 16st 2lb   , and   15st 12lb against  fury.and fought  at these weights  in his heavyweight  scraps.and been, fast, agile,great stamina, and enough power to drop most heavyweights  like did fury 1st fight. Is he natural  heavyweight,   or cruiser.  I think  he natural at 6ft 3in 16st  ,. Wonder what Gnash thinks?👊

    Furys problem is hes not the concussive puncher like a lot of others in the hw division, for being the biggest he lacks that power that could have made the difference but i guess it was back to boxing, jack dempsy already put up the blue print on how to fell the giants 100 years ago

    how big was jack Dempsey, think i read he was 6ft   14st , so more of a cruser weight  today. wonder Uysk  bulks up 2 fookin stone , and as still great agility stamina , and enough power to stop most heavyweights . as if he is natural 14st 4lb cruiser weight , like been said  . after get Gnash on it and, say how man can still box great carrying 30 lb of extra muscle ??

    they see dogmen now as worse than Jimmy Saville. 

    True mate, but the bottom  line this   since the hunting ban  with dogs, you will fooked going on any ground with lurchers , any form of sighthound  and terriers  as well. It never  ever going back to what it was before the ban never.  And  being  honest, it always been a ball ache going g back 35 years ago.many a time farmers following  you out with dogs. Keepers as well.lamping got as bad this last  20 odd years. See a lamp now every fooker on your  back now . I am glad in one  way that I am to old now to go out lamping, being chased all over, feel sorry for young people wanting to do it.🤔

    not knocking ali he was excellent like you say did anyone have chin or recovery of ali ?

    but strong 6.3 men are big strong men regardless it’s a great size really 

    And  usyk is 6ft 3in 16st, same as  Ali  , when fit and younger.  Ive always said that  clean shot of usyk  will  drop  any  heavy weight.he been  the best  cruiser weight. And great heavyweight deff. The best for a very  long while. I don't think  he stay  at heavy  weight    , don't if drops 2 st to go back  to cruser weight  a good think,  I hope he don't I hope  he fights DD and gets that  other belt back  then  retires. Glad  he finished  big gobshit  , bit of luck fury  will pack  it in.now.

    Fury 4 stone heavier than usyk this time. Uysk coming in lighter fury heavier than last fight

    True, he 20 st 1lb, usyk is 16st 2lb. So it looks like fury going to use  his 4st of fat to maul, and try knock  out usyk early  rounds. Before  he gases out. But usyk  now knows  he can take fury out, he did round 9. Only ref saved fury.i think uysk  will go in and try to take him out early  as well.i.hope uysk can finish fury for good. I've never liked the big gob shit, if it was different English  man I back him deff,  but not him  so hope uysk can  do it. But like gnash says it only take one shot in heavyweight  boxing and it over  true.but when you really look at it, uysk not small man 6ft 3in 16 St, he could drop any heavy weight  no prob , but fury 6ft 9in 20st a big.man to drop . Just hope it good clean fight and not  fixed for bigger pay day ??

    What an immotive subject. If someone rears and farms a bird/ animal then anyone who harms should be punished. If a bird/ animal is deemed wild then no one owns it/them unless trespass is the main issue. Whilst goose shooting on the Solway, as long as you gained access to the foreshore without trespass, ie, down a brook, then you can do no harm. Also, it is, I believe, illegal to repatronise wild rabbit to areas on which they have become scarce. Going back to the mixi days you were asked to take care of making sure that not one was spared. So now it is a criminal offence punishable by high fines and I’m guessing confiscation of equipment. I agree with the sentiment. Mental. Jok.

    The word and only word is = trespass,  on place with no permission.  That's the crime you done . If after a wild animal rabbits, wild salmon. Regards  birds  partridge  pheasant  ,farm bred salmon,  all been bred by man, different ball game  then.??

    Just pay the c**ts unless you have a real good case why the fines not valid.

    Just get your moneys worth and call the f***ing filthy scumbags every horrible thing you can think of. 
    Disgusting excuses for human beings making a living picking on ordinary people for the poxy government.

    Always loathed anyone like that.

    True WILF,  years ago when.me the late wife  had couple  chairs from  a shop , anyway  one started  to spilt at the back of stitching.  We  had about 2 hundred quid to pay off the chair.  This going back 20 odd  years I said fook it I not paying  that money with chair as it is. Got the normal  letters  come though, didn't pay.  Well week later  big bloke came to door said  you got 2 hundred  quid to pay, I take it out your house , said won't come in here a put knife  in your gut. He went away  next morning  early 2 big black blokes knocked door said give us.the money or what we need similar price. And said you want trouble  we give you, both had it short iron  bars in there hands, wife heard what's was going on , said come on Ray not with getting your head bust in. So they had   90 quid   and small  table. From that day never been keen on black  fookers ,lol

    I know it’s hard, Ray mate, but I think it’s the yanks that have the saying “ if life deals you lemons, make lemonade” !

    Take a bit time and indulge yourself now and again; I bought a nice bottle of bourbon for the first time in ages and just sat and enjoyed a bourbon and coke.

    This morning I came back from sorting the poultry at the allotment and took a little detour through a big set aside field and just watched as the dog quartered the field and set up a few pheasants and I watched a flock of yellow hammers moving down the hedgerow in front of me. It was a bit nippy but there was a nice winter sun melting the frost.

    We are the same age and both have had setbacks, but we’re still going !

    Stay strong mate ! 
    Cheers.

    Thanks Richie , you are right mate, we got to keep bouncing  back up, when we down true.But since my wife  died in February, this last 2 months really got me very low, most times  I OK, then something trigger  me off, it like your  emotions  all over the place if that makes  sense. I think once can move back to South staffs, and try make new start,  get small 2 bed bungalow  etc, meet new people, I think pick up.the prob where I live quite isolated  really you never see anybody, good job.i come on here or go fookin nuts lol. Had stop feeding birds, was getting quite few rats  round the feeders had get  pest control  bloke  said stop feeding birds put boxes down. Said they  go to when the bird food gone. That's  sunflower  seed, and suit blocks. Shame as liked looking at them. I should imagine  most  people feed birds in winter time, they draw the rats in , unless there away  from your house, butvas the bloke told me there everywhere, so try  not make it easy  for them, and he right.

    Do you like sprit more  than beer? I used work at banks brewey w-ton for 25 years. Used  drink mild, then went on to bitter. I couldn't  drink whisky  as it get arguments etc, and shove comes to push  would use  my fists if I had to, and could look after my self. My late wife would  stop me from drinking it, was ok on beer etc, but whisky really changed my mind set deff.i dontbrealky drink much now only I can of carlsberg  a night, which is nothing is it. If you OK with drop of the hard stuff do it big man.👍
