    We will absolutely nail it! It's too late now to be complaining about wasted money. It's all about image and Britain is still holding onto it's world superpower position, turning down the Olympics or downscaling it wouldn't do much for that image in the eyes of the rest of the world. That's just a fact, not a personal opinion. I'm looking forward to it.

    Never really bothered myself. Won 20 quid on a scratch card a mate bought me a while ago. My dad won over a grand about 15 years ago now, he was well chuffed........... my mum spent it for him, lol. 14 million to 1............ more chance of my ferret dropping a fallow!

    I would check before agreeing to any op! A vesectomy shouldn't need any kind of implants? Has she confused it with castration? Quite often vets do!

    Nice little dog mate and honest post. Glad you have a good crack with it.

    Trouble is Scott, the 'keep our selves to ourselves' approach has got us no where. It's a great approach if you don't have enemys but when you do propaganda plays a nasty role.

    Simply to improve public opinion of those who participate in fieldsports and as a consiquence prevent any further restrictive legislation being passed.

    My Son done the same,3 parents STOPPED their kids socialising out of school with him Parties the lot That's pathetic but a good example of the attitudes of some against us. I wonder how many kids turn away from a life of hunting because of pier pressure? In favour of the more socially acceptable binge drinking, drug abuse and 'gangsta' lifestyle! Now we see how even beating and ferreting face such prejudice, how the hell do you go about promoting terrier work with this?

    I do agree with that to an extent but I also think something like the fishing i mentioned above will also often include some kids with parents that are on the fence a bit and that just dont want their kids to miss out on something that everyone else is doing. And once half the class are raving about how much of a good day the fishing was it has an effect on the rest of the class, every little helps... Some schools do small trips to farms etc (I can remember my primary school doing this as well as nature walks), perhaps similar could be done on sporting estates with demonstrations of gu

    A friend of mine took his son beating a good few years ago now and when his lad went into school telling them what he had done at the weekend my mate got called in to see the head and was told that it's not really acceptable to be taking his child out to participate in such things! Where the feck do you start when faced with a wall like that? Like has been said, any form of optional education will only be attended by those that are on board anyway. It's a loosing battle.

    It wasn't aimed at you no. There's always plenty of bullshit spouted when talking about fox cartridges, this threads no different. Interesting cartridges all the same.

    I'd love to see the tape measures some of you are using! I'm sure some of you are confusing yards and feet.....

    Not expecting to see much of anything with all this rain! I saw a melanistic hen with only 2 chicks with her about a week ago. After last Fridays torrential downpour I should imagine they are both dead. Will it be a bumper year for foxes? I read somewhere recently that good spring rainfall has been proven to lead to higher survival rates in cubs.....

    A bull cross thread that turned into a dick measuring contest! .......... Who would have guessed? LOL

    I prefer the program to American Hoggers, too much brother-sister bollocks with that one. The blonde one didn't half fecking flap when she loosed her new catch dog for the first time, f**k me. When Gary brought his 11 yr old catch dog, Poacher, out of retirement the other night ya just knew that it was gonna end badly! I'm not sure how much they over exagerate the weights on there but at least once they have said "Woooow thats a good 200 pounder!" and then minutes later toss in over their shoulders!!! I dunno but I doubt many men can single handedly carry a 200lb live hog? All that sai

    Smart little pup. I think the name is great for a terrier.

    They're the knuckle draggers I was refering to fella. A good dog man gives his pups every chance at success and understands what is needed, when and in what quantity BUT still keeps his standards high and not let sentiment leave him blind to reality.
  17. Born Hunter
    It doesn't really matter what I was like at school. All I'm saying is if someone wants the best dogs then their standards and expectations have to be as high as what is achievable and sustainable. That will obviously be at the expense of dogs that are just average. It's a sickening fact, they can't all be champions. Having unrealistic/impossible expectations is stupid. If that is what you mean then I agree with you. But what is unrealistic???
  18. Born Hunter
    I wouldn't knock high standards! There are plenty of knuckle draggers but folks with high standards and little tollerance for anything short often have very decent dogs. A lot of dogs are let down by a lack of effort from their owner though, that I agree with.

    Millet will be along shortly.......
  20. Born Hunter
    Wow, the statue looks fecking excellent. They may have had to wait 70 years but the memorial is quality. Malt, that's a funny quote.......... the Germans envious of British engineering! LOL. A different time I suppose.

    I'll have to give that a spin next time my terrier is in season. She drops in once every six months and every time is at least 3 months untill she looks anywhere near fit! She goes from being 18lb to about 14-15lb, it can't be healthy to be gaining and loosing so much weight!
  22. Born Hunter
    Yep, fecking mental it was here 30 mins ago. Went really dark, like 10 at night and then hammered it down with odd bit of thunder.

    I think stabs means there are a few different usernames all from the same IP. Some devious fuckers about. Speaker as an outsider on all this, it's blantantly obvious who are the spineless cowards and who are the genuine ones.

    Who killed Kennedy? Did we really land on the moon? Is the world gonna end on 21/12/12? Do I give a shit?

    Ditchys threads were fascinating and sometimes disturbing. Made for very good reading even if he was hopeless at trapping mink! The terrier and lurcher sections aren't what they used to be 5-6 years ago. A lot of good lads just slipped off...... usually leaving the gate open long enough for 10 gob shites to fill their place.
