I actually found it entertaining, thought provoking, something to get the old grey matter working. I enjoy a good debate Good for you Moll. Breaking the stereotypical mould of the Neanderthal hunter isn't easy. As we have discovered over the course of this thread. Making them think, hurts their brains, making them address their limitation, causes them to be come abusive and obstructive, making them face the realities of the modern world and how society sees, them causes them to retreat into the comfort of the familiar behavioural patterns where they feel secure and unchalleng

I have heard about baiting, badger baiting in fact. But the ironic thing, i only ever heard of it happening in the media, i know a great many digging people, people who used to dig to badger when it was still legal. And not one of them actually knew anyone who did actually bait badgers then, nor since. I hate to think of the type of people you must associate with that baiting actually happens! But then again i do think it is all a play on words, very similar to the media's way of brainwashing, the mention of baiting, terrier men, and digging to fox all in the same paragraph. Just as deer c

I've never said that there wasn't good and bad from both sides of the social divide. Like you I have met good from every walk of life. However they usually had a few things in common, the right attitude, respect for others and common politeness. Qualities sadly lacking in much of modern society today.

It was mentioned merely as a light hearted response to an inane ond puerile suggestion. No big deal. The Op was intended to illustrate the ridiculousness of certain choices, certain behavioural types and certain attitudes. I think it has achieved that and more. As ample examples of those ridiculous choices, behaviours and attitudes have been more than ably supplied by some of the contributors to this thread. Yourself excluded of course. Credentialise certainly doesn't appear in the OED, the universally recognised authority on what is and what isn't english. Must be just another example of

Oh well WILF. I guess I'll just have to stay ignorant of hunting with dogs. Still good to know you've still no answer to the question regarding the ethics and moralities that saw coursing and the vast majority of terrier work banned. We too have a name for such people in my neck of the woods........and it ain't 2 bob millionaires. Comical they certainly are.

Where do you start? Lets just say, if you need to ask you'll never really get it, and leave it at that.

In the words BT. It was good to talk.

Hugh Hefner..... hardly. Wouldn't mind his money though. Or a couple of his houses

:notworthy: Thanks but that would be the last thing I'd want to be doing.

Thats Kate Middleton when she worked for the Really Wild clothing company at the Blenhiem Gamefair back in 2008. Not a shaved head, tattoo, bullx, minging terrier, tatty headed partner, or snotty kid in sight. Just as it should be!

As historical reference points I thought they were rather good. given the context in which they were used.

Secretarial school perhaps.

You're right PMI is often used as an employment perk. In my case I have to buy it. We all make choices in life. One of mine was to start a business. Personally I feel that it defines nothing other than a need to insure that I get access to the right medical treatment, when I want it and where I want it. What others think about it is of no concern to me. Believe me, I have no desire to convince anyone of how well educated I might be, or how successful. Especially not on a internet forum such as THL. Are you sure there is such a word as credentialises

This thread has been about many things. Thats just the way things go sometimes. It wasn't I who brought up the subject of coursing deer with longdogs. I merely answered a question posed.Bull baiting, cockfighting, infant child labour, and the common man dying regularly of typhus were all historical practices. Simply becos they use to happen doesn't give them a free pass in today's society. Using such a easily defeated arguement is what got you where you are today, banned, ostracised and deminshing in number year on year Fair enough. I have always held to the view that in regard to ethic

Moll "Baiting" happens. Whether terriermen like it or not. The fact that it is such an emotive topic on both sides is simply unavoidable. The digging of foxes is equally emotive for a large number of people from many elements of society. In my defence whilst I have been accused of class snobbery I don't consider my self guilty. If you can find anywhere that I have singled out a particular class of society for comment please point it out. You'll have to forgive me in regards to the Danny character. I was never a reader of the Moochers forum. I hope that I have explained myself

I take it your BASC membership is fully paid up? , never mind the educated stuff, as far as I am concerned you can take your stalkers snobbery and shooters narrow minded views on the ethics of hunting venison and shove them right up your arse! FYI I cancelled my membership of BSAC nearly 2 decades ago. :D Unfortunately for you. Its precisely on the issues of ethics and morality where you lost the fight. If you can't hold your ground on the ethics and morals front, and are forever on the back foot, you'll never win the battle for the hearts and minds. If you can't win the battle y

Were you bullied at school son ?...for crying out loud .... Im the first to admit im half a div and never really mastered the art of coming out on top of an argument without using fists ....but stone me,you take the piss !.....Im not going to get into an argument of words because i,ll lose.....but this style of 10 fancy words to say something that only needs 3 basic words doesnt show you in the great light you think it does.....it just makes you look a prat ! Growing up there was always times i wished id paid more attention to education instead of sport.....but if thats what education do

Well someones got to try to be light hearted and try to create a smile on here with all this back biting on other posts, I must get a thumbs up for that at least Everyone knows if witt was shit I would be constipated Still I at least try Back biting.....best to leave that to others. On the joke front. If the groan factor out does the smile. They tend to loose their purpose. You should know Magdon They dont come less funny than you unless laughing at you rather than with you is included. But even that is getting stale now. Ah, you love me really. That's why you can

There a hell of a lot of people in that particular queue along with you.

I disagree. A good lad can be a tit if he dresses, or acts that way. There are no divides in society when it comes to that indisputable fact. As for the Markbrick reference. I'm unable to comment as I have no idea as to whom or what it refers.

Richie I think far more people were aware of realities and what's involved in the running of deer with longdogs and the digging of badger with terriers than you imagine. Yes the antis made full use of the tabloid press to "educate" the uninformed on their views on the subject. However there was already a significant proportion of the voting public who had already decided that it wasn't for them. The fact is antis did a far better job of "educating" the rest of the voting public than the longdog and terrier men is whole heartedly the dogmen's fault.I believe that they realised that as soon

I'm afraid what you perceive to be a glimmer is nothing but the glint of the morning sun off the shaven heads of the tattooed chavs old chap. I have never broken anything other than mothers best crockery and wind.

I'll mark this down as one of the first times i have disagreed with you Moll........ Basically Magdon although obviously a clever person is a bit of a twat and enjoys using his intellect to put down others. By using these well educated long drawn out paragraphs and not being abusive or arguementative he likes to think he a class above everyone else...........well we all shit out the same hole so Magdon away and get into your Volvo and toodle pip, your tee off time is 9.13am, dont forget your pringle jersey for a baileys in the 19th............ All to easy to fall back on the old st
