  1. What I will say is give them a chance tough buggers. My old hob has been iffy for a while the vet didn't really have an idea with out running loads of tests which is fair enough. For a few days he was at deaths door. Couldn't move not drinking or eating. I was on the verge of putting him down rather than let him suffer but thankfully I didnt. But with some molly coddling now all of a sudden he is flying around like his 6 months old. Might get few more years out of yet which is great. His a pet more than any thing the silly sod
  2. look great so how did you cook the meat ?
  3. still loads to be doing if your inclined http://www.realseeds.co.uk/Monthlysowing.html
  4. Yes bolted a couple and dug a couple. The jr would never enter a rabbit hole just mark it but if he did it was a fox. Never lost a ferret though as they tend to exit sharpish but I am sure it can happen especially if it goes to bolt and there is a ferret in its path
  5. Get some spuds in asap. These were planted in mid may when I first got my plot. they didn't do brilliant but I got a harvest and for some reason I planted main crop when in hind site I should have stuffed some first early in which theoretical can be ready in 12 weeks and will take off in this warm weather. Just a case of beating the blight with us
  6. like every thing on here personal preference them poor sods in china dodging that festival now they got worries
  7. We had 4 or 5 builders walk in the back yard the other day to do our roof and they weren't coming through the gate until the wife said it was ok But once he new all was well he enjoyed there fuss and they seemed to know his cross and had a chat about him not some thing I encourage though and would rather he just lay down and shut up lol and the lurchers bloody useless
  8. Stick with them I say. They are all owed a chance. I remember saying to the wife when i got my pup if his rubbish his going. I was only kidding mind and I won't repeat her reply One thing this dog has taught me you don't get the finished article in a year, 2 or even 3. Its on going slowly improving things and tweaking and repairing any cock ups made along the way But I don't require super mutt. Just after a couple of hours sport and enjoy my self
  9. I don't see why. I do find that under the netting you get a little micro climate so maybe black would catch a bit more heat. Doubt we are talking any thing to major one way or the other though
  10. no matter what hunting you do there is all ways going to be suffering of some sort. But we all aim to keep it to the bare minimum. But things do happen and it would be a lie to say other wise
  11. It's alright Terry I hear the Rhubarb thieves are in "custardy"
  12. Well I decided today next time I sow carrots don't do rows a foot apart in drills but maybe up on ridges or singles rows. Because when the weeds take off in the middle you can't hoe for fear of burying the carrots popping through. Made some room in the green and took some squash up the plot. in other news some one has been going around stealing rhubarb the scoundrels I think the chairman has started interrogations and its only a matter of time before some one crumbles
  13. Watching them work the deer dogs over in new zealand is poetry in motion would love it. Watching the dog work like that.
  14. lol we used to take the donkey around in the vw camper. Great days lol
  15. Ours are fine 12 months on disk over 7 years on tape that's the way it is amazing how lax people get over backups and just assume all is well. The government lady just on the news wouldn't commit and say yes they have backups. Going to be some stressed IT guys running about this weekend. Even with backups going to be a big job checking machines and restoring
  16. I doubt they targeted the nhs just some silly sod opened some thing he shouldn't and went some where he shouldn't and downloaded the virus As for what it can do it can pretty much encrypt any data visible on the network making it unreadable so suddenly doctors have no history on you or a clue what the hell is going on. With people turning up for appointments and the hospital having no idea why they are there. Pretty bad do. So this is where we find out how good there backups are
  17. this is about the only thing I will disagree with you on, breeding will only give the majority on the build characteristics you want, the rest is generally down to how it`s brought up, genetics is more about the physique rather than the make up of the brain inside it, when there are certain breeds that don`t conform to that it`s more likely to be too much interbreeding making it a shit choice, get two dogs from the same litter, bring one up to work and the other to be a sofa ornament both will do what they are wanted for but still the same litter I often ponder that one and wonder if m
  18. Are they no dig spuds in the first pic No Jamie but I might try a short row next year for a tester
  19. am I right in thinking pepper plants are very disproportionate too there peppers eg small. I have one plant that is starting to flower but its pretty small
  20. Took the netting off my spuds tonight so they can get full benefit of this rain at last my mate needs to sort his bloody mess out
  21. So a dog that can run two hares and then catch and kill a fox is an all rounder in your eyes? Just asking like as I'd say a dog that can catch rabbit, hare, pull any of the deer species, catch and kill a fox single handed and help the terriers out without messing about is an all rounder imo, don't think you'll get many saluki greyhounds doing that but I know a decent bull cross can don't forget birds lol
