Is this a riddle? Well actually that grandfather who raced pigeons would also foot follow the belvoir when they were hunting Lincolnshire. Never the less they were still working class, which proves I have in fact been around working class folk so I can speak with experience regarding it. But you’ve never really been around hunting folk, and yet here you are calling this lass a toff.

So that’s a no then. My dad was a foundry worker, his dad was a coal power station worker. They kept and raced greyhounds at the flapping tracks. My mum was full time mother and her father bred and raced pigeons. I am working class you absolute weapon.
-
I genuinely don’t believe you’ve ever really met anyone who hunts.
-
If you say so.

I didn’t say otherwise. The tone of the news article is to make her out to be somehow privileged, leveraging the toff stereotype to whip up antipathy amongst the readership.
-
She’s a primary school teacher who lives in a marginally above average house. She’s no more a toff than any of the rest of us.
-
Listen to that filth, trying to make her out to be some toff because she doesn’t live in a f***ing council house.

I think you'd likely find that the majority are either indifferent or in agreement with this policy so Union action might be hard to achieve. That said, the numbers mean that 80-100k NHS staff (about 10%) stand to be booted. If they stand their ground, then even alone, that sort of 'hurt' could be decisive to change policy. We're forever told that the NHS is on it's arse, I guess we'll find out if that's true...

So what's this one about? Taking reds and boar with dogs? His personal pursuit, or a general mish mash of various folks experience of it? Half tempted but I'd like more detail of content.

Probably the best way to deal with it. Hopefully it’s chip paper already.

I think after recent events “shooting starts” needs some small print. Just so we’re all clear with the risks!

I think they had a hard time of it last season. Belvoir had their opening meet local and they got them.
-
Didn’t even realise it was the Cottesmore. They’re getting loads of shit.
-
I wasn’t really justifying it, just explaining why. Since when did the news report anything other than stuff that gets a reaction out of folk?
-
Opening meets past week or two, along with a few other recent bits of bad press, it all has a bit of momentum in the media. Another time it probably wouldn’t have done.

That's being filmed by sabs right? I fully expect they f****d about in their usual provocative manor stressing every c**t out and that woman snapped with her horse. It ain't right but I'd be a hypocrite if I claimed I'd never regretted my actions with my dogs in a stressful situation after the fact. No idea why you're sticking the knife in re 'dog lads'. Like most lads in hunt service aren't at it themselves...

Terrier work in the USA - Photos and Stories.

Just a point of caution regarding range. It appears that the antenna in the B&F collar does not emit equally at all angles, it is optimised to be most powerful in the up/down direction as it assumes you are roughly above the terrier. For your purpose of a shallow area search you may find you have a much reduced range. It's possible rotating the collar 90 degrees will help. But also bare this in mind when testing other transmitters. -
Just f**k off with your cheap petrol!

I think it’s a convenient target. Fits quite nicely with the vegan movement that seems to be prominent right now. I think farming as much as any industry needs a shakeup and we need to look at things holistically and environmentally. Otherwise we’ll have more instances of “yay we saved the Amazon, gin and tonics all rounds!…. Shhhh no one mention that they’re now ploughing the Cerrado grasslands instead!”. Or “yay we are recycling all of the countries used tyres, gin and tonics all round!….. Shhhh no one mention were paying a firm in Asia to take them and they’re just burning th

One point is that it’s a single data point and can’t be considered representative yes. Second is that since then they have taken more samples from more locations and they back up the narrative that temps now are rising faster than ever. I think… but I’m eating fish cakes so I’m not exactly in research mode.
-
I half read an interesting ted talk the other day on cows and methane. Iirc they said it’s not cow farts that are the main problem but cow burps. And rather than bang the vegan drum they considered solutions including feeding seaweed based diets etc. It was refreshing.

So it doesn’t matter if you’re right?

More carbon than young trees I think. Mature forestry, no.
