I've read that book nitevision...it's called "The Monocled Mutineer" It's about Percy Topliss and the mutiny that was suppressed behind the lines in 1917. The army strove to eradicate it from the records but it came out much later. Old Percy was royally f****d over and finally shot in Penrith I think. I've got the Paul McGann video of the series they made about it in the 's. I've got a copy of the book too if you want it mate. Countryman....Ibsen was Norwegian, not Russian. My favourite author ever was a fellow Norwegian...Knut Hamsun. His novel "Growth of the Soil" is a masterpiece.

I grew up in a town surrounded by countryside, like a little grim northern oasis plonked in the middle of rolling hills and thick woodland. It was only a walk across the street and I was in fields. If you looked in one direction you'd see the "shops" as the largest local employer was colloquially called and if you looked in the other direction, you'd see nowt but fields, hills and woods. This was our playground and from a very early age, that is where you'd find us kids playing. I look at my own mates and their bairns and it's hard to imagine that at their age we'd be up trees looking for nest

Once that photo of him at Butlins Blackpool 1942 surfaced there was just no denying it

Exactly Chaz.....treat shows for what they are, just a bit of fun.

Yeah, I don't think he admitted to it though mate I think it turned out he re-enlisted or something like that and fought for the reds. Still, a good read all the same.

I'll tell you one you might like Ditchy.....The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz....excellent book. And The Forgotten Soldier by Guy Sajer..... Controversy surrounds both of them, but superb reads.

No! Ireland is lovely! I used to go out with a lass from the west coast of Cork and spent a lot of time over there fishing and what have you. Love the place with a passion. Spent the 94 World Cup over there and it was a brilliant place to be. Watched the Republic in many bars and sunk many pints! When people asked where you were from and I said "Co. Durham" they all loved you due to Big Jack

It's possible but as has been said above, if you aren't sure of the kill, don't pull the trigger. It sharpens up your stalking skills that's for sure

Seen that so many times mate. Lads have dogs they deem to be good dogs and they work a particular way which suits them and for some reason they mate them to dogs, which might be good, but work in a totally different manner. You lose consistency this way and you end up with what you describe above. If you've got a good bayer for arguments sake, and she's doing the business for you week in week out, why breed to to an iron hard mute type? Surely if the bayer is working for you and getting you results, you'd want to breed to another type like her? Just a thought.....

Running Dog Addiction & Dig Deep Throw Well Back;

Oldskool....the content of that little book wasn't the most important thing when that book came out. Mr. Harcombe released that book when no-one was speaking up for the terrierman and we were being shat on from a great height by all and sundry. The fact that the book came out at all was two fingers up to everyone and informed them what really happens and not what they assumed happened...intelligence probably gathered form the centre pages of the News of the World. It's not the best book in the world, but it is a good one as books go. Mr. Harcombe stood up when it mattered and that book is -

Alastair of here has got a monster of a bull cross, an absolute beast of a dog and it catches rabbits just fine! I was out with it last week on the lamp and I'm not joking, this animal looks like it's carved out of marble! It's got a head on it like a bucket but it doesn't half shift. Appearances can be deceptive especially at such a young age as yours. I wouldn't worry about it mate. Looks a nice dog
-
The reason I asked if the dogs were Border blooded is because I've only ever owned one collie cross and she has always been as calm as you like. A very focused, driven, forward dog, but very laid back too, if that makes any sense. Socks, how would you compare this pup to your last Beardie cross?

teenage growing pains mate. She obviously thinks it's a game. If she don't come to you, walk away. I had a pure bull like that and he still cocks a deaf un' occasionally. Thing is, if he sees you walking away, he's straight over. Keep at the training and keep persevering as it's just a phase she is going through more than likely. It can be frustrating but keep at it.

Have they all been border crosses Crow?

Real money....? 104cm = 42" Sorry lads I'm only a little bloke I'm 5'9" and 13 stone if that's any easier for you. I've got far too much camo gear and it needs to go. Plus I've got a nice 66 pattern jacket on the way and I need to make room

Is she out of that big red collie mate? Superb pics and I know she's going to have the best start in life

Exactly.... Depends on your definition of "work"

Posh pet shops used to flog fox cubs in the sixties and seventies. Keith Moon bought one but had to get rid as it just spent it's time hiding from him. Clever fox
