We all started at the wrong end of the learning rainbow snifferboy,the best lessons learnt are from the mistakes we made and make,its then using the errors we make to move on,one of the main reasons Ive an affinity with Collie-curs is they have learnt me so much,they adapt to the stupidest owner and work accordingly.I learnt a little more every week and with each lurcher I owned,feck ive spoilt some useful mutts through ignorance.Some people learn from their mistakes,others keep making the same ones.Keep at it and never ever be afraid to admit you need to learn,the true sign of commitment.

To be honest blackmaggie at the time I possibly never realised what I had in the kennel,then we took it as said that the mutts put a shift in,week after week after week,i had 8 or 9 dogs then that all earnt their keep,ive had no more than 2 for a few years now that just about manage to tick over,they have their moments,nothing like the halcyon days of youthful exhuberence,ignorance of others and feck the world attitude that the lurcher and its owner thrived upon then,the hunting laws have put a mocker on what some of us took for granted,i admire the feckless youth and older generation that can

The only thing ive poached and not got convicted for was an egg,bloody Dales rabbits and Skipton magistrates played havoc with my wallet for years.

I went out above Ilkley one bright and frosty morning,84-85,the dog marked a 3 holer and stood vigil whilst the ferret was entered,then caught 2 bolted rabbits,a little later that day it caught and retrieved alive a farmyard cockerel that was in flight,whilst the dog was jumping a 5 bar gate.It then picked an hare out of its seat on the moor and another it hunted out of a small wood and ran over the same moor.Within the hour I had 2 grouse in the bag it plucked from the heather.A Guinea fowl,that the keeper had amidst his pheasants was next in the bag,the best eating bird ive had the pleasure

At 18 months of age id expect any lurcher to know the basics,to take the same mutt through the next "stages" of its education,especially if the Grail is chased,will often take another few seasons of dedicated resolve,on both parties,before that mutt can be classed as an accomplished hunting companion.By the time an average lurcher learns its "real" trade its reaching retirement,the time the best allrounders thrive,then go downhill.

The "right" Collie does and always will.

Few lurchers,whatever the breeding, make for allrounders,id probably put that down to ownership over the dogs lack of ability.The effort and commitment needed to educate a mutt at multiple disciplines and tasks is beyond the need of most,thus the Holy Grail that some seek is rarely needed.If I wanted a mutt to take on the mantle of allrounder,if I had the resolve and commitment now to waste several years getting the mutt up to speck, then id be looking for certain elements,discounting others,that may aid my quest.The first thing id want in the mix would be Collie,brains is requisite,secondly t

Its rare that ive had a problem with a dog and fireworks,my lurcher as a phobia about them and goes into meltdown,ive put a radio in with her and thrown an old terrier in,whom she gets along with,4 bloody nights now.Id bring her indoors but her and the Akita don,t get on,the Akita hates fireworks as well.The annoying thing is she works with a shotgun and never flinches.

If i believed any of that id be as fecking sad as the rest of the numpty,s that go by statistics that say little cocks don,t pleasure other mens,or womens wifes,what fecking dick takes shit like that as fact?,only fecking dumb as mud Americans or nuggets. I must be dumb as mud then,because i can well believe someone who wants to nail a small,effeminate,child like man,is more likely to be attracted to a child. the non-pedo ones 'who just want to be accepted' will impress that same 'accept everyone' mentality on their children who as adults in turn will want other slightly more perverse

Just calm your tone a little please calm my tone, it wasn't said to annoy anybody, but it's true, walk a mile in the kids shoes with 2 bent adopted dads? Do you not think they're in for a childhood off suffering? Genuine questions Not a debate I'm getting into, and yes, calm your tone. It was a simple and polite request. There's no reason why you can't put forward your views without being offensive. If you can't, then don't! offensive to whom moxy ? It's called freedom off speech, and it's a point of view they do not take into account. I've nothing against gays and what they do to each oth

I thought the same,then when my son came out i thought he was a strange and degenerate sort,fecking bum thumping poofter,dirty dodgy and degenerate fecking peado,then he talked to his dad and i listened,possibly one of the hardest conversations a father as ever had to undertake,then it sunk in,then i realised it was my son and i still loved him the same and it did,nt really matter and i respected him for being my son and honest,as id brought him up to be,im proud of him now,as i should have been all along.

We would all like our sons to stick their Johnstone in Pamella Anderson,if they would prefer to stick it into Paul or Peter would we think any less of them?,i did and would,then after spending a little time in their company i realised what an ignorant twat i really was,im happier now knowing my sons outlook on life than i was when i was prejudiced and ignorant.

Never Been Kicked Out A Pub Before For Being English
morton replied to pegleg33's topic in General Talk
Ive possibly been asked to leave more drinking establishments than most,i was an inglorious,nasty and belligerent drunk,the amount of times ive woke in a cell and copped a drunk and disorderly fine?.Me and a mush used to drive cars back from Glasgow for a car dealer,the cars were so cheap there,so was the booze and women.One time we had to wait 3 hours whilst the vendor fixed a clutch on a car,we spent that time watching what the jocks saw as footie in a local bar,we drank copious amounts of pissy Scottish beer,beat a jock at pool and ordered a pizza,then the jock returned with a couple of mat -
I sense your just a tad curious?.

Ive a lot of respect for your input on this site,no more.

I once had that mentality and was proud of it,the cushion of ignorance we have to let go eventually.Id rather my grandchild was brought up to respect all than the prejudice i was brought up in,im not saying all my prejudice is wrong,much of it is not,especially relating to some of the fecking gays about and what they demand from us,but,ive learnt to understand and welcome what many of them are about and the emphasis they put into their responsibility as a parent,gay or not.Ignorance is bliss at times.

Ive been there pal,then i grew up,im proud of my son,very,very proud,something your mummy and daddy may not also be able to say.Ill guarantee if the 6ft 4" of my 17 stone son stood in front of you,you,d proffer your weak and limpid hand.

The ignorance of the ignorant,bless.I see on a daily basis the trash that now habituates this land of ours ,the majority of which have entered the world from the womb and loins of the same ignorant souls that had no gay traits amongst them.I used to be a gay basher in my ignorant youth,then i grew up and learnt to respect much of what many of them offer as parents.I have a gay son and once had a gay brother-in-law,they are more of a man than many men i know and more of a woman than many of the women ive encountered,they are also two of the most responsible parents ive yet to encounter,your so

Something missing between that lads ears,he,s one fascinating Lancastrian though.think you will find he's from Lincolnshire. With that twang?,i stand corrected,i thought he was from Bolton or thereabouts.

Waste of time awaiting an invite mucker,the mutt may draw a pension before you get one.Rats are not hard to source and a determined jukel will soon get into the habit of finding and knacking em,they weigh a few ounces and are an easy enough task for any terrier worth its keep.Pig and poultry farms are the places you may wish to visit,the owners of which are often more than willing to let you rid them of a rodent or 2,get a few mates out and about with a bobbery pack of mongrels and take advantage.Hopefully somebody local may ask you to tag along,until then take the bull by the nuts and wrestle

Ive heard that before,its a load of pish,shot or galloped it tastes like venison,the age of the beast often dictates if its to be quick fried or casseroled for hours,nothing else.Hang it,cook it,eat it,kill it first.

2 years ago 2 Bengali.s got a £50 fine for burning a poppy,a white lad burnt a copy of the Koran and ended up inside for 6 weeks,why does anything shock us in the shit hole of a country we live in now,we are second class citizens,because of the actions of parliament,in our own country,the Great as been taken out of Britain because of Muslims,say that in Parliament and you will be sacked,say it in public and you will be called a rascist,dare to think it and the wrath of the loony left and the law will be upon you,Britain,c,mon UKIP,until they get a few in parliament and then tow the line.
