  1. Steve, you can gold pan, a tenner for a day ticket, at Leadhills in the Scottish Borders. I used to go there rabbiting, but would often chat with gold panners. Had half a fancy to have a go and make up a ring for the Mrs, but it's cold up there so f**k it. They run a course on how to do it at the local museum.
  2. Somebody mentioned a good 'claim' high in the hills. One of the mods deleted the thread so nobody learned of its location. I'm told he jacked his job, sold his house and high tailed it to the hills.
  3. I must be a bit of shrinking violet, I never enjoyed the threats and the 'sledging' and the over physical. I enjoyed the genuine physical competition but I hate mixing up different activities. To me football is football, nothing to do with taking a man out completely, boxing is boxing but no thumbs in the eye or head butts. Sex is sex, nothing to do with food or humiliation. What' s all that about? I'm a simple man, some say very simple. Time for me cocoa.
  4. No arguments there mate. Except one name... Terry Hurlock. Orrible bar steward. Denis Wise not much better, except he could also play a bit.
  5. Everything in moderation. I played with a bloke who thought he'd had a good game if he hurt as many opposition players as he could. We found him an embarrassment. And eventually he was told to f**k off by us all even though he was a very good mate and a decent player. I think the only time somebody seriously intended to hurt me was when I was elbowed right on the Adam's apple whe I was defending a corner. I couldn't breathe properly for ten minutes and had to come off. I was a bit naive and I thought it was an accident until the other lads told me different. Apparently he was well known
  6. And I have left out Bremner, Charlton and bite yer legs Norman Hunter.
  7. f**k knows why its banned text. Ian [BANNED TEXT] U R E
  8. No, he wouldn't have been trusted. Leeds would have targeted him and he would have willingly accepted the bait and been sent off. He was not what you would call an intelligent, subtle or creative player. If players were rated he would not be adult content, he would have been triple xxx. Amazing how the game has changed. Way way back I remember an Arsenal centre half, Ian [BANNED TEXT]. He marked Denis Law one week . He literally spat at, thumped and kicked Law the whole game. The spit was captured in a photograph published by the sports papers. Man Utd signed him the next week and
  9. Sunderland's FA cup up win against Leeds in 73 was one of the greatest in the history of the English game. The whole of the nation was gripped. It was a classic underdog win against a team which all football purists hated. Leeds were cynical, arrogant and dowright dirty. It was one of those occasions where people remember where they were when the news broke of their win. I was working that Saturday but everybody just dropped tools and watched the game in a store cupboard on a tiny black and white telly somebody had smuggled in. I can still remember the sense of euphoria that the fil
  10. Lennon ...Good call. I was disappointed when Celtic sacked him. He'd done wonders for the club. He was blamed for maffing up the chance of 10 in a row. He could still be there if it wasn't for that. He had Celtic in his blood.
  11. The PSG penalty decision and the Man City free kick were totally bizarre. This VAR practice of inviting the ref over to view the action is cowardly. Basically the VAR officials are dodging a decision and leaning on the ref to agree with them. How many times do we see a ref stick to his guns and go with his original decision? He knows if he doesn't do his master's bidding he doesn't work next week. If, as has been suggested,VAR gets involved in deciding corners and throw ins, the game will totally f****d. Man City has been charged with unprofessional conduct after the wh

    I love deep, deep snow. When nature says quiten down mankind. I command you to turn off your engines. You are not going anywhere. Just submit. Appreciate the new beauty,slow down and hear the hush of the countryside. Time to think. What's all this rushing about actually for? We scurry about like neurotic ants only to end up where we started. Feed the birds, they are really suffering. Get the dog out to play crazy games of tig, they know how to live now, to enjoy the moment. Then hole up in the house, get yourself a toddy and actually talk to your family. I love deep snow...nature'

    I wish I had a bump.
  15. Yes with his new cardigan every week lol.
  16. List of its faults : hated wild weather, even wind. Wouldn't work in rain.Howled in hail and crawled under bushes. It was a fighter, but crap at it. Cost me a fortune in stitches.Attacked all our other dogs at some point. One day when I wasn't there it nearly killed a wee whippet we had. The Mrs and kids were traumatised to hell. They ended up firing a hose pipe down its throat until it coughed up. It was latched on to it like a pit bull. Sheep worrier and it wasnt a training issue it was a psycho. Only had to look at a car to vomit. When on the lamp it would try and herd q
  17. No I'm getting back into them next year. Yes, cracking birds and great wee broodies.
  18. I didn't care one f****n bit about it mate. Just the kids feelings. Just being honest!
  19. My kids loved it and it survived to a ripe age. 13 I think. Otherwise I would have had itput it to sleep to be honest. It had just about every vice going. But we just retired it at 2 years old and kept it as a comic.It had a dozen nicknames, thick head ,dog wonder, arsehole. It wasa character to be sure.
  20. Have you still got serama banties Moll? I bought some lovely birds from you, very cheaply about 15 year back.
  21. He was just trying it on 600 quid. No way on earth would he get that. I take your point about the man holding the lead that's fair and no offence ,but the pup wasn't right mate . It wasn't wired up correctly. He and his mates didn't work so, they poached full time. I think Blue once caught over 100,rabbits single handed in one night. He met his death in the jaws of a pit bull he bumped into when he escaped his pen.
  22. Have you heard of the Minshaw strain of lurcher? He was an old man when I met him, he's very likely dead now. He had a famous stud dog called Blue about forty years back. I bought a pup from him out of a daughter of Blue back to Blue himself. Anyway, the point is he showed me a scrapbook of pages and pages of deer and hares he had caught with his dogs. Some very naughty stuff too. He probably had hundreds of photos. He didn't know me from Adam and he showed me all this incriminating evidence. Daft! I could have been a police informant or a even a cop myself. By the way the pup was crap, it wa
  23. My son holds the family record... 28 and a half ferox brown trout. It had a head like a bucket.
