    I bought a lurcher sappling for next to nothing from a traveller in a pub at Appleby. He had acquired it as part of a deal for a horse and wanted rid. He said he didn't know anything about it, not even if it was stock broken. You would think all the warning signs were there but foolishly I bought it anyway. I guess I felt sorry for it. It looked so miserable tied up outside the pub. Anyway, turned out to be a very decent dog with no vices except it was not interested in rabbits, only bigger game. Stupidity sometimes goes unpunished. But not often.

    My Mrs has a lttle 'velcro' whippet . If she took that to the fair, some sod would distract her, grab it and sell it on. I cannot understand why folk drag their dogs around agricultural shows and fairs. Or why they dress in shooting and fishing gear when they are not pursuing those activities. Guess it's something to do with identity. This is me and here's my dog. Not comfortable for dogs at all.

    Daily Mail says categorically that all pubs closed for the fair. Westmorland Gazette says some pubs open. Probably the latter source is true.

    This week. Think I will go but it's not as good as in the past. For a start they are going to close all the pubs. There's always a bit of disorder but it seems a total overreaction to me. The fair must bring in many thousands of pounds to the town. In the past there was always a whiff of chaos in the air especially in the evenings. Nowadays the place is crawling with police and RSPCA personnel dressed to look like cops. In the past you could take a punt on a lurcher pup or buy chickens or goldfinches. But I haven't seen livestock for sale for a few years. However I'm still going. M

    I've noticed the number of goldies. Brilliant. But bullfinches few and far between here. The 7 year cycle used to happen with sea trout and salmon but their numbers are so low you don't notice it now.
  6. jukel123
    Haven't heard one for years in my neck of the woods. I used to look forward to it. Read their numbers are declining big time.

    Sometimes hero worship is a symptom of homo eroticism. I think there's a lot of that type of thing in Yorkshire.

    Heavyweight boxing is beginning a revival in blighty. Happy days.

    Well said.

    I thought it was his colour.
  11. jukel123
    Definitely. His attitude has changed. He dug deep after taking some heavy shots at the start. Hope it continues for him.
  12. jukel123
    Tbh, I didn't know he'd won a bronze. Fair play. I still think the likes of Bellew, Usyk or Haye would have sparked him.
  13. jukel123
    I think lots of top class cruiserweights would have made him look silly. He was quite canny to fight in the heavyweight division because there was so little talent there at that time.

    Fair mate.

    No I was'nt having a go at you Mack just the media. There's thousands of arrests all over the country on a Saturday night, but the press try to make a bid spash from nothing.

    Rubbish boxer but opponents used to stand off him for fear of his big punch. Now he's been exposed, opponents take the fight to him and he's hopeless. He is a genuine warrior though. When he picks himself off the floor after being badly hurt he genuinely wants to fight on.
  17. jukel123
    Yes Wembley. Headline news, 50 odd arrests. Big deal!
  18. jukel123
    Hard luck mate.

    As soon as a fighter loses his aura it changes the whole dynamic of fights.

    Well predicted Newkid. Hope you had money on the fights.

    My head is beginning to droop,and my eyes getting heavy. Cocoa time. Last time I stayed up,this late for boxing was in 1955 when Don Cockell fought Rocky Marciano . I listened to it on the radio with my brothers and my dad. Cockell weighed 141/2 stone and Marciao 131/2. I cried when the brit lost and my old man told me not to be soft. It was a bad night.
  22. jukel123
    I think so he beat him mentally and then stopped him. Game set and match.
  23. jukel123
    Srictly speaking, the next level is Usyk and he has already schooled him. But Joshua, Fury, Parker would all be good fights
  24. jukel123
    Fair play Dubois, he's showing some spite tonight.

    We know Frank Warren has a bullet scar, but how did he get that indent in his head? Looks like somebody caved his skull in with a hammer.
