Very good post socks, confidence is key, I don't mean that horrible cocky arrogant type of confidence, just being secure enough in yourself... For kids sport and decent socialising is so important I reckon, get them in a football, rugby teams down the gym for boxing, girls need hobbys too,Allow them to interact with you and other adults so they have the confidence to talk and have a view.... They will get some form of bullying I'm afraid, it could be just name calling and hopefully no worse.... My young niece was bullied at senior school, she's a lovely girl but lacks confidence, my brother t

Just got to sift through some of the crap and it's a great site I reckon.... There are people on here I'd love to go for a pint with, you just get a sense that they're are some real decent characters with good stories to tell.... Obviously there are some who come accross as nobs, but it's only the Internet it's easy enough to ignore them... I'm not on Facebook or twitter or any other " what you having for tea" type forums, they don't interest me... I've been lucky to meet a couple of top lads off of here and have a couple of good days hunting out, I can't see what's bad about it.... If you

I think your own upbringing can shape a lot of your views/ morals whatever on issues like bullying.... Mine was different for sure, with a dad who made money from his physical presence and violent tendencies, and a mum who could take no more so off we went on a little adventure lol.... But over time they both taught me values and I can honestly say I never bullied anyone weaker than me, I've seen a few shitty things as a kid and an adult ( I'm sure a lot on here have).... There was a girl in a refuge we were in for a bit who was so traumatised by the abuse from her father that she wouldn't lea

Hate bully's and bullying with a vengeance.. Had a bit at a school I went to for a bit but nipped it in the bud, it's funny how most bully's, big mouths etc aren't all they make out to be.... Twice spent a night in the cells for sticking up for people being bullied both times I couldn't help myself I can't stand back and watch people being bullied.... Some muppet in Kentucky after the pub, chucking food in a couple of girls hair then offering a young coloured lad out.... Because he was black.... Unfortunately I was nicked trying to teach him some manners... The young lad turned out to be a 17

Really good read.... Gnasher, not only interesting to read about your times but nice to hear of genuine affection and respect for a man who obviously played a big part in your life.... Lovely sentiment mate..... There's only the odd person who comes along and leaves a lasting impression on your life and maybe changes the way you think, behave or act... As far as Marvellous Marvin is concerned... My first dog was given to me by my mum in the mid 80s I called him Hagler... The first fighter I took an interest in..

So, Tell Us, What Are Ye All At In The Veg Garden?
NEWKID replied to JohnGalway's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
Set up a small veg patch a few years back, for me and the kids to mess with, lettuce, tomatoes and strawberries went well first year, but I also put some pumpkins in ( the kids idea) bloody hell it was like triffids taking over the garden... I should've cut them back but I was fascinated to see how far they would go... Bad idea they completely ruined the lawn but we had about 25-30 small to medium pumpkins off of it..... I'm having to get the garden re-turfed because of them...lol We're having a good go this year , the spuds are in ( they were good last year), onion sets and garlick plus t -
Good luck with the pup mate, she looks like she's growing nicely

Lack Of Game Do Something About It
NEWKID replied to blackgreyhound's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Reintroduction is a tricky area i would think, Everyone is in different situations as far as permission and who else shares your permission.... My point being my main permissions are farmland, the main reason I have them is to help control the rabbit population ( I'm by no means a pest controller or professional by the way lol), I also hunt with 2 other lads who have their own permission and they have the same obligation to the farmers.... It's up to you to look after your land, try to hunt within the season, heavy pregnant does let them go, lay less net towards the end if the season ( give t -
Well done mate, the pup will benefit from this handling no doubt, I think everyone enjoys the nights where you put a few more than normal away... But my point was its not the be all and end all, I think sometimes people only think you've had a good night/ day if you've caught loads, I can honestly say I enjoy every night or day out, there's lots of different reasons for nights or days to be memorable and it's not just numbers... This isn't aimed at anyone either it's just my view on it, lads coming into this now seem to be a bit over worried about numbers, catch rates etc.... You've got to enj

Brilliant mate, it's seems its getting rarer to find people who put the time and effort in that's required... First signs of problems get rid and bring in another would appear to be the way... Not only did you have the patience you also had the initiative to find the right training to get the required results for you.. Really well done.. The lad I hunt with has brought his pup on this year the sire was full saluki and he has tested his patience to the max, but the results are starting to come now for him.. He puts hell of a lot of time in and his pup is turning into an all round decent pot

Well one Millet, sound like a good start for her, short trips a few rabbits and keep her keen... Numbers aren't everything anyway, a lot of people seem to forget getting out and enjoying working your dogs is the most important bit everything else is a bonus... Personally ( for what it's worth) I think she's a fine looking dog and an honest post... Nice one mate
-
I don't think that would go down well with farmers, landowners etc trying to control the numbers.... Rabbits will come back naturally if your not too greedy on your land, some places it doesn't matter how many you take, they come back hard the next year...

Kennel Blindness, Denial An Bullshit?
NEWKID replied to jimbobsmutts's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Pm's are meant to be private aren't they?? Bad do using them against people in my book... And if people are feeding ammo through pm's to fuel this thread ( whatever it's about) that's shit too... Don't know who the mystery man is and don't care really, just think it's a bit sad all the sly digs etc.... Kennel blindness???? Who cares, enjoy your dogs, feed them, walk them, run them, they've all got foibles they're dogs.... There's better dogs and better dogmen that's life.... -

I for one hope it is the return of Whin..... Is it???? -

Very good post Malt.... I'm afraid it is an un-winnable war, with oil being the sole agenda.... The west needs a foothold in these country's to keep the wheels of life moving, the sacrifice is our lads...friends, husbands, sons, brothers.... Maybe we do follow America, but we have our own agenda too... I can't ever see there being any resolution to the position we now find ourselves in...

Warm, dry and durable top boots I reckon.....

Congratulations mate.... He's a lovely looking little lad... All the very best to you all..

What about the tracing paper you had a bog roll, go to wipe and it slips right up your back lol Taking a bollocking once off the head, me and the biggest kid in the School ( he was huge tall and fat), the heads ranting at us both, going mental..... Next I hear a little sniff.. I turn round look at the big kid he's crying and got a huge green snot bubble, blowing in and out like a frogs throat out of his nose.... Dirty b*****d lol

Moved around a bit as a kid ( dis functional family I guess lol), I remember my little brother wearing football boots everyday for a while, he was helping the milkman and he drove his float over my brothers foot... He had tyre marks in the top of his foot lol.... Came back from our stint in Bristol and I started at a comp school, I knew no one and hated it, got stick off a fat kid, who thought he was Cool as... Took it for a few weeks, it got to me a bit... I ended up giving him a good dig in the guts in a walk in cupboard, he wasn't all that and was on his knees... I gained a couple of mates
