Scooby is another good one. For those that havn't read it, the book takes you through the life of the author's (j.darcy) dog scooby. Theres alot to be learnt from it. I also liked jackie drakeford's books, allthough i did sometimes feel parts had to be taken with 'a pinch of salt'.

Steady on mate, we'll be on to string theory & quantum gravity next! Just to carry on the thread, are there any physicists or amature astronomers among us lot? Just curious. It was astronomy/cosmology that really attracted me to physics in the first place, theres alot of boring shit, and i mean alot, but it all comes together and helps in the understanding of the much more interesting like astrophysics and cosmology.

Stargate?? yeh ive wathced a bit of sci fi, wouldnt call myself a fan of sci fi, more particular series, as a rule i dont like sci fi at all lol. Im just finshing a degree in physics and last semester did a module on relativity, covering special rel and general rel, and the lecturer loved all this space travel sorta stuff so we covered all that as well, he wrote the book 'chasing relativistic rabbits'. like isaid its ambitious, especialy when you take into consideration the very very specific conditions us humans require, but never the less possible.....in theory, lol.

oh, im with you now, lol. I was under the impression you were talking about just exploring the universe to advance science etc. moving the human race to another planet, possible galaxy......shit me your ambitious, lol. Im sure we will be able to one day though, but science and technology has a hell of alot of work to do first, even if the entire world pulled together for the cause. glad im not the only one that thinks about this stuff though

Yeh its a great dream, but do you know the reality of it? Special relativity really fucks it all up! Speed of light is a limiting velocity, no many ways around that im afraid, so even at light speed we wouldnt get anywhere interesting very fast. However if we could travel at the speed of light then we would get to our destination instantaneous, but for everyone still on earth it would take as long as if we were classically traveling at the speed of light, so a long bloody time! Thats bassically because of time dilation and length contraction because of velocities near or of that of light, and

I bet number 5 has led to sum fun 'suggestions'...... oh to be a pest controler, killing vermin all day and 'looking after' emotional and distraught women... or is that another romantasised thought?? lol -
TELL ME ABOUT IT MATE!!! Ive been single far too long now and it dont help sitting here in the front room/kitchen listening to both my house mate beds creeking as they 'go to work' on their missus! Didnt half embarass their girlfriends after though Best of luck pal

Never bred before, but will be in a year or so, hopefuly get a tried and trusted line going between me and a few mates. I dont think ill sell any kits, for the little amount that would be raised by the few kits sold i wouldnt bother. I believe strongly in a 'give n be given' attitude to just about everything in life, but particlarly working animals. If i was to give a mate some kits then i would expect to have the offer returned or have the use of a hob to line a jill for free. Same with dogs. And quite frankly anything else, if i give a mate aload of apples for his cider then a few eggs from

well sounds like your parents are right in not letting you have one yet, cant just get a pup for a few years and then get rid just because your going to college. Im turning 21 soon and i still havnt got my first pup and thats because i wouldn't because of college and university etc, been waiting 6 years now, its hard as hell i know watching every one i know bring their terriers and lurchers on but i know im doing the right thing in waiting, only about another 3 months now and ill be in a possition to get a pup. Its for the best lads, that way when you do finally get your first working dog,

So far % pro hunting!!! But is it really going to make any difference? I think its been proven that it doesnt really matter how many people are pro, I beleive the march in london was the biggest ever and that made f**k all difference. Voted anyway, for the little effort it took its always worth it just to imagine the antis responses

hopefully get some pics up of 1 im putting in over the next few weeks -
This is getting dangerously close to the "killing for killing sake" and "pseudo pest control" argument. Or have I just taken some bait? Swampy Nervous Ning Dunno if youve taken bait or not pal, not sure what you mean. all i mean is just because its on the official pest list dont mean its neccessarily a pest on your/my permissions. As for killing for killing sake, what some may call hunting for sport, thats another matter, i was talking purely about pest control. And if you dont mind me asking, what the hell does 'ning' mean? lol, and why a nervous ning?

In my opinion just because the government put certain species on the pest list doesnt mean that any one with a gun in their hand on their permission should shoot any of these species just because they are on the list. It is my opinion that the species named on the list are only on there because in certain areas they do alot of damage or exist in unaturally large numbers and therefore have to be controlled however this is not the case in every part of the country. For instance rabbits, in a lot of places in the country there are shite loads of the little destructive buggers and they do alot of

Propper stock protection
Born Hunter replied to Squirrel_Basher's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
100 % mate i think some people on here wouldnt go to help a farmer or sheperd thats needs a hand foxdropper nice work I think everyone wants to calm down a little, no one said he did wrong in dealing with a lamb killing fox, just making it clear to all those unsavoury sorts (you all know who i mean) watching that it was done in complete compliance with the law, ie the terrier was used to control fox for game bird preservation that just happened to be the a lamb killer. And now i await the 'f**k the ban f**k the law' brigade, but yeh f**k the ban all the same -
No mate they are pests in certain areas, thats a fact. If 1000 hares can be shot in 2 days on one farm then they are sure as hell a pest, if a farmer is making large losses to a large hare population then they either need to 'earn there keep' which used to happen through the money legal coursing meets would generate or be controlled by one means or another, and like it or not when it comes to pest control for hares the hare shoot prove there worth. But your right about them not beeing rodents, rodens only have 2 incisor teath, logamorphs have 4. I personally feel i respect the hare greatly

Like i have said, its what your conscience lets you do. Mine wouldn't let me do nothing while something that i know is WRONG is happening when i am the only person who could stop it. As someone has said before, would the situation be any different if it was someone abusing children or equaly as wrong. And you might say, "well i wouldnt grass, i would take a bat to the dirty b*****d", well thats what you would do, and if it ended up with the cruel f****r dieing painfully and the victim saved i would do the same, believe me i f*****g well would. But lets be honest, you cant guarantee that and th

The mighty hare dont half bring out emotion in people, and so it should, magnificant animal. But who is anyone to say what is fair to be shot and what is not. How is it not fair to shoot a hare yet it is fair to shoot a pheasant or a partridge or even a rat. In alot of places hare shoots take part as a means of pest control, and they are a pest in these areas as if not the land wouldn't be able to sustain litteraly thousands of hares beeing shot each and every year. People that say if they have to be shot for pest control a rifle should be used want to educate themselves a bit, a rifleman

thanks UM They already know what I think and that I will be the one who puts an end to it lot of activity there the last couple of days. Myself I couldn't care less what anyone calls me, I do what I have to do and am more than happy to live with the consequences of my actions. With regard to a comment on an earlier reply on the outcome and the seven day thing, those dogs have been as good as dead from day one and the village folk who have had to listen to the sound of dogs in distress have all assumed it was our dogs, how convenient for the cruel barsteward. In a funeral that my wi

The same can be said about pheasant or rabbits or whatever, keep the range sensible and use the right shot and choke and you wont have a problem. Personally i use 36gm load of BB's with half choke no further than 35-40 yards out of my auto. The reality of using a shotgun is that the quarry isnt always killed cleanly, which is why its ideal to have a dog or 2 about that are suitable for the quarry your hunting, but using the right load and keeping the range sensible even a wounding shot should take enough out of the fox to be able to follow up and despatch as quikly as possible.
