  1. Believe it or not!! I've got a bugle from the days when I was a member of the Boy's Brigade over 40 years ago!! It need a new mouthpiece and a good polish? might be interested in an offer its in the attic doing nothing Tom
  2. Joe's surname is Kyrollos!! that's about as Scottish as turkish delight or Lasagne Although being born in Scotland he does have Irish blood flowing through his veins as do I, My GG Grandfather on my Mothers side was Irish Tom
  3. Albert is there any chance you could send a copy to both Foxgun Tom & myself please? Cheers Joe!!!! Email me address Joe to irishgamefair@btinternet.com and I'll give you a complimentary subscription for a year to Ireland's top country sports magazine. Seamus has asked me to suggest another free subscription to anyone who can tell me the tartans that Joe and Tom were wearing at Shanes! what exactly are you after? the name of the specific tartan or just the type? i think they could be hunting tartans? are they? im bored enough right now to do some research into this. lol. gem
  4. Was hoping to be at the show but my old Aunt passed away at the beginning of the week and the funeral is on the day of the show! Despite not being there all the best and I hope it's a good un' Tom
  5. Now that really put a smile to my face! A very moving video. cheers Callum That was my first reaction!! Tom
  6. Its nothing to do with hunting but this wee Belgian boy got dressed up and showed his respect to some Canadian soldiers coming back from a comemoration and they responded in kind, cool or what? Have a look at the link: The wee lad is in a hand made Seaforth Highlanders of Canada uniform to commemorate the D-Day landings of 1944). As the troops pass by the young boy salutes his heroes and the 'RESPECTFUL CANADIAN SOLDIERS' respond.... Brilliant." Tom
  7. As a former member of the Orange Order and still a congragational member of the Church of Scotland! who was born in Bridgeton and can truly call himself a "Brigton Boy" I've also been married to a Catholic lassie for over 30 years and have personally been the subject of bigotry and sectarionism from many different quarters! I'm dismayed and sorry to say that in my personal experience the orange order can and is seen as bigoted and sectarian by a large section of people including protestants like myself, Its not the only organisation that is tainted with this bile many pro-catholic organis
  8. Best thing ever to use when caught short is the latest copy of the Countryman's Weekly!! but be carefull as sometimes its already overflowing and full of crap Tom
  9. Remember Lads!!! This show as the last qualifier for "THE FIVE NATIONS INTERNAL WORKING TERRIER CHAMPIONSHIP" the winner of the qualifer gets an expence's paid trip to take part in a six dog final with a panel of three judges adjudicating expences include ferry travel and accomodation Tom
  10. Right Lads and Lassie's want to help out? I did an interview promoting a couple of terrier events and a lad from my club is judgeing terriers on Youtube!! This is the link and the interview is about five minutes 48 Seconds into the programme: Please consider leaving a comment on Youtube putting all terrier/lurcher shows in a positive light Thanks in advance Tom
  11. Unfortunately in my opinion an individual with no backbone and even less interest in Members of this forum or indeed his former friends who only wished to keep The Scottish Association for Countrysports reputation sqeaky clean!! Did a former Director of SACs misuse members funds while on holiday, yes or no Ian??????

  12. A Gentleman who in general seem's determmined to raise the profile of the working terrier and lurcher at game-fairs in Ireland!!

    I've only met AlbertJ a couple of times and been impressed by his honesty and his integrity in dealings with me at the present time?

    Seem's a good'un

  13. No worries Karl at least you've had the common courtesy and decency to admit to a mistake and apologise, that takes guts and is to be admired The only thing that concerns me now about you NOW!! is: "lots of love karl" As we've started off on another tangent or another approach "Love and cuddle's" from Tom
  14. Thank you very much for the kind words Albert and the gift of Irish whiskey!! I and Joe as representatives of Neilston Working Dog Association and our country!! were delighted at the invation and honoured to attend Shanes Castle. I was given a surprising amount of gifts over the weekend by friends old and new and I'm extremly grateful for they're kindness and good wish's! Unfortunately I had been unable to attend Game Fairs and Terrier show's in NI for nearly two years because of illness. I also have to say, I was made most welcome by S. Irwin and the rest of the lads runnining the Lurcher and
  15. Why is the Union flag not displayed in your avatar rather than the Saltire? Do you know anything about Scottish history in relation to, "THE UNION OF THE CROWNS", UNION OF THE PARLIEMENTS",THE SCOTTISH AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT" or even the early cultures/people's and language's of Scotland? or do you follow like a sheep and throw-away the rights and heritage of a Country?, incorrectly fly its flag by stating your British instead of displaying the flag that represents the views your entitled to have (Union Flag) I think!! and its also only a personal opinion if your British then the only fl
  16. I really could'nt give a feck wether you fly it or not because this attitude is just childish and displays a certain degree of ignorance and a lack of respect for some of your fellow Scots and the country of Scotland itself "i would change it but now that you more or less told me to.i wont i will keep it up just to annoy you" Keep the Saltire but how can your defend your point in being British by not flying the Union Flag and then making it evident with the coment? "i would change it but now that you more or less told me to.i wont i will keep it up just to annoy you" What union are you
  17. People pleaser I was in Ireland at the weekend, great time, great craic, and brilliant people Travelled and stayed in England twice this year and exactly the same as above had a terrific time as always Tom
  18. If that's the case Why is the Union flag not displayed in your avatar rather than the Saltire? Do you know anything about Scottish history in relation to, "THE UNION OF THE CROWNS", UNION OF THE PARLIEMENTS",THE SCOTTISH AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT" or even the early cultures/people's and language's of Scotland? or do you follow like a sheep and throw-away the rights and heritage of a Country?, incorrectly fly its flag by stating your British instead of displaying the flag that represents the views your entitled to have (Union Flag) I think!! and its also only a personal opinion if
  19. Well!! the good old urban fox is at it again, see link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sussex/10363646.stm In the past I've set up live cage traps in my garden and been successfull in live trapping fox's I'm thinking of carrying out an experiment to see how many fox's I can catch in a year! I live in an ex-council house on an estate in Paisley at the foot of the Glennifer Braes, needless to say any fox's caught will be dispatched in a quick humane manner The trapping will be carried out under the premise of health and safety in securing my toddler grandson has a safe environm
  20. Yes!! she's a friend and the lass know's a lot more than some lurcher enthusiasts she's a bit opinionated, upfront and thats why I especially like her Tom
  21. Really funny Albert Most people would have got Joe's surname wrong rather than his christian name All the best and looking forward to Shane's Tom
  22. I can't help it if i've got English pals and if you read my profile I do admit to being a wee bit delusional :stupid: put this thread down to having a "senior moment" Yours Hissing Sid
  23. As a Scot with no interest in football can I just say a genuine "all the best" to the England football team today and to all my English friends/buddies who support them Tom
