  1. I have flown once, only drive when necessary, run walk and cycle. I do what I can for the future of my children but individuals can only do somuch. That’s why governments need to lead change. Ps There's still a few nutter denialist about but thankfully they're getting swamped by reality.
  2. Have you considered this within the context of the difference in population ? 83.129.000 to 5.028.000......Ireland's Co2 emissions are 50% higher than EU average. Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change - CSO - Central Statistics Office WWW.CSO.IE

  4. Some do, hopefully an increasing number around the world, education is key, key to seeing beyond the dogma of things like racism, sectarianism, anti science etc. Some people wake up to realities of needing to get along and work together. Its called being "woke". ? ps. some thoughts on anti woke ? People who use the term “Woke” as a derogatory term tend to hold a pitiable existence, but an increasingly common one. It’s impossible to move for grumpy old men sprinkling ‘woke’, ‘wokeness’, ‘wokeism’ and ‘woke mob’ into every second sentence. Woke historically meant st
  5. Oily fish or fish oil…. The subject is interesting, I remember when tinned tomatoes was the thing, then fish oil came in and we had a transition period when fish in tomato sauce was the thing. I used to buy fish oil by the two-litre tube and add a splash to the greyhounds meal daily, along with SA37. At the time I fed mainly crap early completes like vitalin so I expect every little likely helped. I don’t bother these days, thankfully completes have moved on and I’m also more confident in my own stockman-ship. The results on fish oils seem to be mixed with little if any real health benefi

  7. Indeed we have a less than perfect record, it wasn't that long before they suffered in Burma that we did much worse in our own concentration camps, not to solders but families. "Between 18,000 and 28,000 Boers died, 80% of them children. The British did not bother to keep records for native Africans housed in camps, but it is believed that their death toll was similar to that of the Boers."

  8. I had an uncle who was an artists, often told i take after him, i never met him as he died a couple of days after being liberated from a POW work camp on the Burma railway. My nan hated all Japanese, wouldn't be on the same street as anyone she thought might be Japanese. 13'000 POWs and 100'000 locals died on the railway, it shows how easy it is to treat people as sub human if you think you are better than them, a lesson we should all remember.
  9. If you want the best then that's the only way. Just sell on as they develop and any little niggles appear your not happy with until by a year old what u have left is your best. That might be one, might be four, just depends on the quality of the litter and your expectations.
  10. Average, avoid biggest and smallest, look to the parents, what do you like about them to make you pick the litter? Look for the pup that throws towards the parent you prefer. Crossed fingers through out the process ?
  11. It never gets easier to make decisions when there's no real guarantee as to outcomes but for my two pennies worth , as long as she's happy then let well alone, if she has visible secondary growths then she's like to have others so be like playing whack a mole removing one after the other. Perhaps better to let her enjoy life whilst she may.
  12. I expect in light of his northern locale it will be some northern derivative of Ale that would be traditionally quaffed from Toby jugs whilst wearing flat caps and hobnailed boots surrounded by whippets..?
  13. i was at work on Sunday whilst the Mrs took kids to a local show, she got beat by another kid in child handler who took two dogs in ?, she was not impressed. So now she's come up with me having to teach a bit of old obedience/trick so she can take two in together. She wants to be able to walk to the judge with both on leads at heel, then when asked to walk them, to be able to down and stay one whilst she walks the other than change them over. Muggins hear will have to teach em then get her managing them, make her put a bit of time in will teach her as much as the dogs, be like old times, i'll
  14. Summer time so thought we might have a discussion on peoples expectations about obedience or tricks what’s it all about, as a youngster I trained my dogs to a high degree in every aspect of life till they were almost clockwork but as the years have passed, I’ve eased my expectations to a more needs led approach but do occasionally wonder if I have gone too far the other way. To put this into a context I was at a local show a couple of weeks ago with the two kids, Connie 10 and Louis 6 and a brace of Galgos. Connie is a great one for shows and had already gained a couple of rosettes in the
