  1. It's 17.5 cubic metres i.e. 30ft = 9.23 mtrs 4 ft = 1.23 mtrs 5 ft = 1.54 mtrs 9.23 x 1.23 x 1.54 = 17.48 cubic metres These things are usually measured in square metres though rather than cubic metres in which case it would only be 11.35 square metres (9.23 x 1.23) and not as much over the limit so you might get away with it.
  2. Greatest prank call ever, I'm still laughing thinking about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5z4Vs26-TI...feature=related

    I see

    I thought that finished a few years ago and moved to Birr instead?
  4. A woman goes into Cabela's to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's birthday. She doesn't know which one to get so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter. A Cabela's associate is standing there wearing dark shades. She says, 'Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?' He says, 'Ma'am, I'm completely blind; but if you'll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes.' She doesn't believe him but drops it on the counter anyway. He says, 'That's a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-LB. Test line.
  5. BASC Game fair is in Ballywalter this Saturday and Sunday as well.
  6. I'm pretty sure that the Poodle was originally bred as a Gundog, a retriever to be specific. But that's so long ago that it might be well bred out of them at this stage anyway. As a lurcher I don't think I'd entertain it though, what's the point in wasting a few years trying to make a silk purse from a sows ear? Buy a Collie cross or Beddie/Whippet or something, as least you then have some idea of what your getting.
  7. Bondage maybe? I know that it's not meant sexually in the context that you're using it, but these automated checkers don't know that.
  8. I can only take the word of the source of the picture, obviously I can't guarantee 100% that it's real, but I personally believe that it is. As already stated the cat was anaesthetised for the procedure and tattooed by a tattoo artist and not by a vet.
  9. Well, what do you guys think of this? I've seen this somewhere and there was a lot of comments regarding the cruelty aspect of this. Bear in mind that this is already a hairless cat and was anaesthetised for the actual tattooing. So, is this an unnecessary cruelty which serves no purpose other than to make it a talking point for the owner, or is it far less cruel than the thousands of pedigree mutts purposely bred each year with inherent hereditary faults? Me, I wouldn't personally do it to an animal but when you think of the pedigree KC debacle it brings a new perspective to it
  10. I had no interest in that particular post hence I never read the shagging thing. Simple as, could you not do the same?

  13. Photo shopped at a guess, there was another like it with a guy leading a huge mastiff type in one hand and a horse in the other that's also meant to be fake. There was a link somewhere last week about some massive Ukranian Mountain Dog or something suchlike. Now there's a monster.
  14. Ruby Walsh chose to ride My Will for Paul Nicholls over two other good horses, so he obviously knows something that we don't. Plus, the boy is in the form of his life and has already won this race twice so knows what kind of horse is needed to win the race.# It's a tough one to bet on and I'd rather keep my money in my pocket. Too many variables to go wrong. You could be riding the best horse in the race but that doesn't stop another one from knocking you over.
  15. All along the watchtower. And before anybody says anything, yes it is a Bob Dylan song even though Jimi Hendrix sung the best version of it. I love this song, regardless of who sings it, be it Jimi Hendrix, U2, Pearl Jam or the Dave Matthews band. But they are only performers. Most of the credit has to go to Bob Dylan for writing the song.
  16. Sorry Droid, you're absolutely correct. I just said lurchers because that's the breed / type that was mentioned at the start of the topic. It also sickens me to see "hard men" with their Rotties and Bull terriers encouraging them to be vicious and snarling maniacs. When you see idiots like this it's hard to blame the general public for thinking that Rotties / Bulls etc. are dangerous dogs, even though they are wrong. If you walk your well behaved, mannerly Rottie / Bull etc. in a public park you will just blend into the background and people won't even notice you and your perfec
  17. "its funny really...lurchers are probably the only breed that are actively trained not to bother sheep...stock breaking is one of the first things a lurcher is taught.......i serprised they didnt say they were rabbid pitbull terrier greyhounds form hell...." Correct to a point. RESPONSIBLE lurcher owners actively train their lurchers not to bother sheep. Unfortunately there a lot of wankers who just like killing things and are no more countrymen or hunters than Bill Oddie. These are the type of pricks that probably think hard of feeding their poor dogs let alone stock breaking them.

    Travelling

    www.couchsurfing.com A friend of mine is on her way around the world staying with people she met through this website. She's having a great time and would recommend it to anyone. There is a rating system so you have some idea who you're dealing with.
  19. That's one from the Darwin Awards website, and there are more like them. http://www.darwinawards.com/ You'll spend a day trawling through them in stitches. Lots of them are bullcrap though.
  20. Think you need to re-think your price mate. Only £179 brand new from Deben and I'm sure can be got cheaper as Deben are the dearest for their own goods and I saved about £40 on a ferret finder by buying it from North East Fieldsports rather than direct from Deben.
  21. One of the best dogs I ever owned was a Lakeland x Whippet, an accidental mating that I got for nothing. An absolute superstar that I never left at home, great at bushing for foxes, deadly for ferreting and even caught a good few on the lamp. I'm not saying he was the best dog in the world at any of these jobs, but as an all rounder he was brilliant and never left at home and never got injured. He was out of a proper working Whippet bitch by a good hard Lakeland dog so he had a good coat, nice bone, and sound feet. Maybe he was a complete fluke, but I would give my right arm for a
  22. Switch on the collar when you start and don't switch it off until you're packing up to go home. I used to switch it off between warrens but then entered my ferrets and forgot to switch it back on again. At most you're only saving 5 minutes battery time which is hardly worth worrying about.
  23. As already mentioned but defintiely worth repeating, make sure you switch on your new Mk3m collars. Just 'cos the batteries are in doesn't mean it's on.
