Buck still healthy mate? Shame he was never bred from. Some good lurcher genes gone begging.
Thanks mate, he deff would have put. Stamina , drive, good coat/feet ,had good 8 years lamping would run all night. Never blanked , had deer, foxes, all solo few hares. And good bags of rabbits in 8 years of lamping,ticked the boxes for me. But now he 12 year old, eats well just plods on now nice steady . 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.

Brilliant thats exactly me at the moment, getting up in the morning putting my socks on over my shoes im an absolute state !....only difference is though in their defence the ol woman just gives me a look of complete contempt and the son just ignores me ...bollocks to it !
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.

Don't think it would work, as you could be posted to different places in the forces , and not get ir put the time into the dog, to work it propley. I might be wrong , would depend on your job in the forces.

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.
