There was some Gould in them Stig, but they weren't directly from him. I took that pic at Astley & Tilsley a few years ago. It did appear on here and Moocher's once, with the owner's permission (at the time I took it) but not apart from that. The dogs did see plenty of shows over the summers, and won more than their fair share. I'd say I dunno why, cos the big one was (in her way) ugly as feck She was a nice looking bitch alright, just not your average 'Russell' looking one Then again, she had 9 solid years of work experience etched into her features (or rather what was left lol

'kin hell, I didn't know that She was a belting little bitch, Nelly. Did she go back to H then, or was she still down south near Cannock? I'm presuming he had her back if you heard about her dying. Bummer either way.

There's still some cracking white dogs about. Here's the pair from my avatar; they belong(ed) to a mate and I had the pleasure of digging them out of some really hard places many a time over. The smooth bitch (who did have some bull in her) was a right hard nut, totally mute. She took any and every quarry you could expect (and some you couldn't lol), and always found if one was home. She passed after a hard outing a couple of seasons ago now, aged 9-10. I still miss working with her The white lakey looking bitch is a straight yapper, but a pleasure to dig to. She's one of those dogs

As always, the book was waaay better

Yeah Chubbs and Lee Evans are quality, but my favourite has to be Bill Hicks. The guy was a legend when he was alive, and always managed to weave some pretty deep social commentary and philosophy into his act. Not for minors though, so I'll not embed anything. Look on YouTube for Bill Hicks - Christ and Christians, Positive Drugs Story, Dance Club, Your Children Aren't Special... there are loads. He was a clever guy. Then there's Jeff Dunham with Walter, and Achmed the Dead Terrorist

All that rubbish about Magpies is an old Christian myth. Basically the story goes that unlike the other birds, Magpies refused to wear all black after the death of Christ. Therefore, they're in league with the Devil and if you're nice to them they might not bring the wrath of all hell upon you. Yeah... OK then

Rotten luck So sorry to hear that mate.

I could write a lot here, but I won't. I just finished a post in the Bull Breeds section to a lad asking about feeding a pup, and I've written tomes on the subject across the last two or three years, which you'll find across this board. There's plenty of links knocking about too - dig out that post in the Bull Breeds section mate, I just listed a good half dozen in there you might want to check out. Don't muck about with grains/kibbles and all that guff. As was said above just get them straight onto scraped meat and water (sort of a meat gruel) for the VERY first days of experimenting w

The clip is from Morgan Spurlock's smash hit film "Super Size Me" - a damning documentary of the McDonald's empire. You can actually watch the entire film on the TV Links website: http://www.tv-links.co.uk/listings/9/4670

So, it's not just me, then? I was visiting my mum last week, and let the eldest terrier bitch out for a pee. Next thing I know next door's cross bred mutt is flying down OUR garden towards the terrier. No malice in it, I'm sure, but it's a pain in the arse and sneaks into my ma's garden to do it's dirties, which the fat moo next door doesn't seem to mind at all :realmad: Anyway having apparently been taken by surprise, my terrier (who is generally sound with all dogs except my lurcher!) grabbed hold of this mutt twice her size by its muzzle, pinned it, and then went for a throttle hol

Did we miss something? Does the council over the water have statutory powers to remove and euthanase dogs? Adding clauses to a tenancy agreement (agree or move out), I can envision - even though it could be challenged in court - but being able to enter premises and take away animals, or even in a public place?! What law's that coming under, then?

Quite right. I didn't mention ANY processing methods on purpose... my post was already too big for the envelope. Anybody wanting to use waste vegetable oil (WVO) from a chippy etc should do a fair bit of research first. You'd need to filter it into a tub/vat/IBC (depending on your quantities) and allow it to stand for a couple of weeks to settle out most of the water, tallows and the FFAs (free fatty acids). Then you're best investing in a decent pump from Machine Mart, and a set of filters (say, 20 micron, 10 micron, 5 micron and 1 micron) and pump through the top layer of settled oil. Y

You can NOT put veggie in any car and just drive away. If you have a direct injection (eg TDI), common rail (eg CDI), JTD or whatever, forget it. If you have a modern all singing electronics-everywhere car forget it too. You could use biodiesel or install a twin tank, but do NOT just add veggie to your tank. Same goes for anything with a CAV/Lucas injection pump - even in blends of oil/diesel it could literally seize as you turn the car over and drive away. Seconds is enough sometimes. IF however, you're sensible enough to have a pre-1998, INDIRECT INJECTION diesel (turbo or not,

SOLD! Alright lads n lasses? Managed to scrape a bit of dosh together for a newer/bigger car (Daihatsu Fourtrak or maybe Xantia Estate??)... Anyway that means the old Cav is up for sale at the ridiculous price of £150 "buy it now" or auction with a ridiculously low £ reserve on fleabay. It's the Isuzu engine, runs on biofuel and although high miles (189k) runs nicely despite a couple of small faults. Great for the dogs, plenty of room, and 55mpg+. At the price it's well worth a look imho. EBAY AUCTION HERE Cheers for looking... now buy it ya barstewards

My brother is also selling HIS car so mum can stop paying him her disability money (to run the car as her run about) and get herself a brand spanking new Mobility car. This one, unlike mine, is in near perfect condition with only 83,000 miles on the clock, a VERY comprehensive service history, EVERY MOT from new, and frankly is a great car. Hell if it wasn't too small for my lot (kids AND dogs) I'd buy it off him EBAY AUCTION HERE Bloody good car that, even if it IS a hatch. Thanks for looking

Just clocked this thread. My brother's a "Dandelionarean" as we call him He's the greyest, most unhealthy looking SOB you could ever want to meet. Thing is though he's feckin solid, and strong as an ox. Must be all that milk and cheese and eggs he eats? :whistle: When we have family get togethers, our uncle often cooks and announces the dish of the day - "Sirloin steak with...blah blah...and a nice two-be-one patch of turf from out the back for our xxx to graze on, the feckin great Dandelionarian" Now if you ask me, which you didn't, supermarket trash is very bad for you indeed

There's plenty of raw feeding topics in the working dog health/training board, just look further down the forum Here's an emaciated 12" 12lbs bitch, LOL, weight verified by the vets last week when I got her wormer. She was fed nothing but raw from the day she was weaned :thumbs-up:

LOL I've been a fan of Maddox for years now. His earlier stuff's much funnier (like busting the hip on the old bitch across the street when his gf changed the oil in his car?)... Since he stopped being a nerd/gimp and got a girlfriend, he has slipped a bit imho. Still funny tho He brought a book out recently Ditch, have you seen it? The Alphabet of Manliness - Amazon sells it.
