That's the one, capable of beating all comers in best of 3's comps ? what happened to it, any ideas?
-
Didn't plummer intend to breed a best of 3/3 coursing dog? Merhab or similar name? Saluki/greyhound?
-
Just read 30+ blokes who run online cockfighting betting are "missing" (in the Philippines that means snatched and shot). Duterte says missing sabungeros are dead WWW.CNNPHILIPPINES.COM President Rodrigo Duterte says the dozens of cock fighters reportedly missing are dead...

I think they went for the equivalent of £800 each, I would rather have a whippet.

Always good to enjoy your job ?

Back then it wasn't just good, it was fantastic, I worked Malham after Gary Hosker highlighted it, caithness was next level, malham on steroids, plus it really did take some effort to get up there, most farmers didn't seem overly bothered about the rabbits despite their numbers,who really knows, I don't think such an area will exist on the UK mainland again, maybe numbers in much smaller pockets but not on the scale of those days. -
In truth mate I would live in the gutter and eat from the bins if it meant they didn't have to, my son met his fiance at uni, his fiance sent me this, some app that morphed their faces together, I think they are going to do just fine in life ?
-
I wonder what caused such a huge drop in numbers in an area where once 100 bunnies in a 24 hour period wasn't really such a big deal?
-
I would have been absolutely minted if it weren't for those pesky kids ?
-
Yes mate, I will see if I can find footage of him flying through the air kicking a board, he still gets the piss taken because of it, might have gone on to do big things in Hollywood as he was like dolph lundgren and was a good martial artist, but he went on strike for better money, Hong Kong is a small place, he ended up forming a Dreamboys type male exotic dancer troupe performing for Chinese ladies, I heard from him last year, he was doing a bodyguarding job in Thailand.

You mean lyth? Might have bumped into you as the black and white dog and the van seem to spark memories ? I still have a cousin just west of Thurso, I think Tommy Mcphee lamping pics sparked far more interest in lamping up there than plummers book, but I do wonder what attracted him to the far north.
-
I met quite a few lads from Manchester during the mid-late 1980's that lamped the A9 stretch of sutherland ? There was a shooting news writer, he was a glaswegian plasterer by trade, I think he moved up to caithness after visiting Tommy Mcphee a few times.
-
I remember lamping brora golf course,good times, you wouldn't happen to be from Manchester?
-
Did you lamp down around Brora, Helmsdale and Golspie as well mate?I remember slipping the dog on a rabbit and she caught a roe ?
-
Didn't Tommy mcphee sell his bitch Ruby I think her name was? To some lads from Wales?
-
My kid said he wouldn't have another one and only got his because his fiance bought him it, she wanted it but her parents said no more dogs ?
-
Life is indeed a journey mate, the normal people you meet on trains, all with different lives, experiences, and stories, interesting to read about the Nepalese guy you met and the drugged chai, it reminds me of drugging tales I heard in Thailand and the Philippines,as TOMO said, we in the west don't realise how lucky we are ?
-
Yup, Indian train journeys are quite an experience, did you ever get the Taj express from Delhi to agra?The good thing about Indian trains was the chai wallahs who get on selling tea and foods, the thing I didn't like on the old trains were the bars on the windows.

We are living on easy street mate,compared to millions around the world ??
-
The pups went for a good price because of the colouring, as soon as the ad went up they were booked and deposits paid.
-
My mate has a part in bloodsport, he also did another film where he was the principle star, a really low budget Hong Kong martial arts movie, the odd thing is Walshie the mod on here knew him when my mate was a taxi driver in Surrey.
-
I think there was four in the litter, all booked within a week of being born, but it's Hong Kong, people buy small dogs as most live in apartments.
-
My sons got one, his fiance has 3 or 4,horrible yappy little things, his fiance bred a litter, they are harlequin,like a dappled colour, oh, just remembered my sons dog has killed a couple of rats.
-
It's the layer cake mate, people operating in a grey world far removed from normalcy, strange things happen everywhere but most are unaware unless they are involved in it.Filipinos are strict catholics,no abortion, better to be adopted than born on the streets and eventually abandoned, I took this pic about 20 years back, street kid sleeping in the shade, sad life.
-
Most western bar owners generally buy in the 3 places I mentioned because its where most western men head, Angeles is like a down market pattaya, super sleazy, there's a street there called fields avenue, nicknamed blow row because it specialises in blow-job bars. Boracay used to be incredible 30 years back, nowadays it's packed and polluted, Duterte closed it down for six months to try and clean up the pollution as in his words "It stinks of shit".
