Waiting for the Mrs and daughter to get ready... I've had to out for another walk, I'm.not the best at sitting still lol
-
Only got here last night mate, so first real look around today..its only 5 minute walk from our hotel so will have a look in there..
-
I can definitely agree with that... watching England football in the euros (i reckon 2004) in a rugby club in Bridegend showed me the depth of the hatred...for both football and England lol
-
Never been to a baseball game, we usually watch a football match in any city we visit... try and convince the wife and daughter to watch a game of men's rounders whilst we're here.

Was going to offer a hand to get this one erected!

We done the same mate, water babies.. first time I took my lad 3 or 4 months old and you put them under the water and take a step back and they push to you...spun me out, as I pulled him up and out I expected screams and tears, but none at all.. As all the lads have said its an essential life skill imo, we've spent out life on or near water, I learnt in an outside pool as a kid, it was bloody freezing... but was prepared for sea and river soon enough lol

Bang on mate.. My bitch is exactly the same, around the ferrets from 12 weeks, nothing serious just a walk, odd netted rabbit etc, walked through sheep pretty 2 or 3 times a week, first time she showed any interest (6 months old) was the only time she's had a proper bollocking, good as gold since.. you've seen her mate, she's a fair sizes dog 25" and probably 70lb or so, as Owain said "she'll never make a ferreting dog" lol..and to a degree he's right, but she's been a useful dog around ferrets and general rabbiting, plus she's done what I wanted her for... never seen a dropper in her lif

If you are gonna drop em you don't give them 150 yards head start... like you say its lazy though, I don't think it teaches them much imo..each to their own though, if nothing else this site has taught me other the years we certainly ain't all the same! Lol

Maybe change the thread title... Londons Calling Lads?

Nice looking pup Steve, good luck with it mate

Must've been northern rabbits, I've heard there a lot slower...lol

Beat me to it... He's in.a bit of a Jam now...

Cracking bit of land that mate
-
Sorry mate that don't make sense.. Why would you slip a 5 month pup on a dropped rabbit at 150 yards, when they're nearly at the hedge? Your putting the pup.at a disadvantage which most won't make up. Surely your first runs with any pup you stack all.tje odds in the pups favour.. im not into droppers personally, and at that age the pup would be exposed to a bit of ferreting , holding rabbits in the nets etc.. The first few runs would-be on a wet and windy night, walking right up to squatters and slipping straight away, middle of field put all the odds on the pup catching them.

A labour of love mate, I've been in the building game neatly 30 years, I've probably learnt more in the 8 years I've been here than the previous 20! Lol
-
You know the task mate, you've seen it! Lol.. it seems to grow every time you start another room...100s of years of farmers cobbling it together lol
-
Trying to lay anything level, ot even flat is a challenge in this place.. String lines along every joist, had to cut firings to take out the bow so we can eventually tile the floor in this bathroom, it's straight now and fairly level... what a game!

Mrs just made these for me and Bro in law whilst we're grafting... I knew there was a reason I married her..lol

Loved Barbados, Oistins fish market when they have the speakers on the street, brilliant food, all the locals out dancing, drinking in the shacks...great place.. Been to Antigua last 2 years, lovely place, we never found great food, but some average local stuff... very friendly place, had great times with the locals fishing, cooking up on the beach etc.. Got married in St Lucia, beautiful place but not as friendly as Antigua or Barados... Regards a cruises, wouldbt be for me i don't think, I like to bugger off and do what I want, walking round old towns and people watching is ha

Jeez mate, that's sad.. My brother is my best mate, we've been business partners for nearly 30 years and he's the bloke I trust the most in the world... we've been through a lot together as kids and adults.. so that's heartbreaking to read for me... I can't offer any advice as although I've lost a couple of people close to me, one in particular who helped shape who i am and was certainly very much a man I loved like a father, I haven't lost a brother or a really close family member... I wish you the best though mate, raise a glass, play a song or quietly think, whatever it is t

Yeah too expensive in high season, plus too many people... we've been going for years, normally end of summer and Feb time.. This trip was a treat from my cousins for us hosting their wedding here, not a bad deal for them I reckon lol
