my hair is over 2 and-a-half feet long... there's not a hairdryer anywhere that can dry that lot without overheating!

unfertilized! i like zip fly jeans myself. button fly jeans on men though, much easier to undo one-handed.

paper from the front of the roll! but i live with my parents, who like paper from the back... it's just wrong!!! never mind missing the bowl, my dad can't be arsed to lift the seat up, so he at best leaves a few drops on it, or worst, pisses all over it. then denies he did it, and blames it on me & mum. i can't work out how a woman is supposed to piss round the back of the seat! and he uses the toilet by the back door, so if you've been outside & dash in bursting for a piss, you're likely to sit in a puddle of his! :sick: brown sauce. especially on a couple of fried eggs on t

she is a cracking little thing. i would have walked straight past her at the rescue kennels. never thought a scruffy little lapdog-looking thing like her would be any good for work. but i've been walking her with Gyp since August, and she's all about! into everything, she's an expert at finding pheasants in thick cover & sending them my way (i think i'm gonna have to get my gun license!). i'm well chuffed with her! i think i'll pass on giving her a haircut, her coat is really shit, all thin & fluffy, she needs all of it! i'm hoping a few months in the kennel might thicken it up a bit.

i think this is the best place to post this topic, i'm going to get enough stick for how this dog looks, without posting in working terriers! my cousin gave this little dog to me, she'd got her to be a lapdog & companion for her yorkie cross, but the little thing is so active, both mentally & physically, that my cousin decided she would be better off with me & Gyp. she's a mad-keen busher, very obediant, settled in the kennel instantly, adores Gyp, works her little socks off. just don't ask me what cross she is, i haven't got a fecking clue!

i'll second that. Gyp is capable of jumping the hedge round our field, but never tried to cos he didn't think he could. one night i let him out after dark without putting the floodlights on, he was sniffing about at the bottom of the field in the dark, after a few minutes i thought, 'he should have come back to me by now, can't be anything that interesting down there!' i whacked the lights on, and there he stood, on the other side of the back gate, looking like he had no idea how he got there! he'd spotted something on the other side of the hedge, instinct took over, then he seemed to complete

friend of mine has an irish water spaniel/shar pei x pyreneean (sp?) mountain dog. looks like a shaggy black retriever, but her skin is all loose from the shar pei (when she was a pup you could get hold of a handful & pull up 6 inches before her feet left the floor!), she also has the shar pei black tongue, she has extra dewclaws from the mountain dog, and webbed feet from the water spaniel. daft hippies paid 250 for her. they bred her with my mates standard poodle, then took her to the pub & let a staffie get to her as well. all the pups looked completely different. they kept one, w

bloody hell and i thought my bro had done a pretty good job of mullering his 325i when he stuck it in a ditch nose-first! i must show him those pics! the remnants of a bloody nice car.... and he'd only had it back on the road 5 days after spending a mint at the garage getting it going.... i offered to swap it for my escort the day before he crashed. i think he actually regrets saying no now! putting him in a rear wheel drive motor is like putting a monkey wearing boxing gloves into a saturn 5 rocket.

i only have one issue with it.... you download the programmes, then think you'll watch them later, get distracted by THL, and before you know it they've expired!

mine is a saluki x collie/greyhound, he tends to get off ahead unless i really keep on top of him, but if i stand still, or he's feeling a bit under the weather, he leans on me & won't let me move! odd dog...

http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...showtopic=23801 i sparked off this discussion last year, with a pic of a mole my lurcher dug up. the dog won't eat them, and he eats cat shit when he gets the chance! :sick:

flippin' eck, Lopham? that's not far from where i am. wouldn't mind seeing a coypu round here, just for the novelty factor. it was my great aunts father's fur farm in Mulbarton where they first escaped from. i've got a book somewhere with a photo of him bathing one in a tin bucket!
-
i really wouldn't complain about him walking behind, it shows that dog has huge respect for you! my bugger will walk ahead of me, he spots stuff & is gone before i can do anything about it, whether i want him to run or not. if your dog is behind you it makes it so much easier to choose what you'll let him run on, you're in charge not the dog, and that's the way it should be. i'd kill for a dog like yours!

they're muscovy ducks. my parents had a fox kill 40-odd chickens once. woke up one snowy morning, looked out of the bedroom window across the field behind the farmhouse, the hill was white, dotted with brown & red patches of dead birds, and criss-crossed with fox prints.

http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...showtopic=45261 there's already a topic about it. -
he's not well-known out of the county, but among the "people in the know" of the Norfolk coursing fraternity, Fred Jackson holds a bit of weight. his father was a founding member of the Kimberely & Wymondham Coursing Club, many moons ago, and my grandad kept coursing & racing greyhounds for years. Mary Birkbeck still says that the best course she ever saw was between one of her dogs & one of my grandfathers. when i get shitty looks and upturned noses at certain stands at local events i have to do a bit of a "do you know who i am?" - it soon changes their tune! and he was reputedl

Caravan Monster - pubs round here are closing at a staggering rate... one of my favourite middle-of-nowhere biker pubs shut a couple of weeks ago, the next village is about to lose 1 of it's 2 pubs, and nearly lost both a while back, i know of 5 pubs that shut in a week. we're used to it in my village, there used to be 5 pubs, by the early 90's there were none. the 2 nearest watering holes are full of arseholes, the next couple aren't much better, but if i go about 5 miles away, there's a smashing little place. i've been going there for years, there's a great atmosphere, dogs & kids are we

"i smoked 7 joints of skunk & to be honest i'm paranoid as f**k..." tea over keyboard! -
aint norfolk just the place to be? where i am there's good pubs; rabbits, pigeons, pheasants & deer by the ton; miles of countryside with no keepers, and an open fire to warm my toes by when i get home. and this evening i discovered a large amount of munty tracks just on the other side of our back hedge (no wonder Gyp vaulted the hedge the other week!). the pace of life is slower, but there's still plenty going on. life doesn't get much better!

i've often thought, if the sabs infiltrate the hunting community to destroy from within, why don't the hunting community infiltrate the sabs? i'd be pretty good at it, i do a bit of acting, and i look like an anti - you wouldn't believe the dirty looks & grief i get at shows until i mention my grandfathers name!

anyone remember the Good Life Christmas episode? "the Ooh-ah bird is so-called because it lays square eggs".... oh feck, i've been on the wine.... seeing that, now i want scrambled eggs on toast! -
ok, here's me with my lurcher Gyp & Tatty the terrier, who belongs to my cousin but will be my dog in a couple of weeks and my ridiculously long hair...
