  1. Yes I get that mate, but for many the excuse is "it got out" or "it's never bitten before" and believe that will get them off the hook. Reminds me of the old saying " a dog never bites till it bites". Dogs can surprise you at any time throughout their lives. Good behaviour in the past is never a guarantee of good behaviour in the future. Lots of people don't get that. Just as an example, I live in sheep country and always bollock my dogs if they even look at sheep. I had a 6 year old whippet which I considered bombproof with sheep. Then one day it rioted among sheep. I was flabberga
  2. Defective. 10 deaths in last two years.
  3. That's right. If an XL escapes from its pen and harms people it's the same principle as leaving a gun cabinet unlocked for a burglar, an irresponsible family member or a child to get hold of. It's no use saying to the judge it "wasn't me that did the damage me lord". An owner of an XL, or any potentially aggressive dog is in the same position as a careless gun owner. Legally responsible at all times.
  4. These XL owners are deluded. The tabloids are willing to point out the danger of these dogs and then when push comes to shove, they print sob stories about harmless, loving Fido being prised from the loving arms of its caring owners. Its only a "shitshow" if the media whip up sympathy for sweet, affectionate Fido and fire neanderthals up. Personally if some mastiffs and XL crosses are seized then hard luck. There's always individual losers when it comes to the greater good. I would advocate that its up to owners to prove a dog IS Not an XL and not the police having to prove a partic
  5. And Fury's kid brother, who boxes with the same ability as his father, coining in megabucks. Beam me up Scotty.
  6. Maybe I'm being cynical,but he could have bought the Dr title from the Internet. Anybody can assume the title Dr. I also doubt very much whether he was a boxer in America. Lots of his claims don't add up. But lots of writers are fantasists. Nobel prize winner Hemingway made lots of claims which don't bear scrutiny. Not that I'm suggesting the two had similar abilities as writers lol Talking about Walter Mittys, I've also fancied buying a a dog collar from ebay and seeing how people react. I fancy going into supermarket, paying for stuff and saying " bless you my child". Just for fun. If
  7. Agree, he did often talk down to his readers. I can remember feeling uneasy about some of his opinions which came from his social class and not mine. I can remember one article in which he spoke down about people who had tattoes. He stated he would never employ anybody with a tattoo. And that was for a kennel assistant..a shit shoveller. I don't have any tattoes but people can do what they want and shouldn't be denied a job because of someone's bias.
  8. One of my brothers fired a home made bow and arrow made out of bamboo at me. I can remember my other brothers shouting "no" and a bamboo arrow hit me straight in the eye. One of those moments where everything stood still. f**k me it was painful. I had a red eye for a week but no major damage. My poor old mother was run ragged with us, so we told her I had been stung by a bee.lol
  9. Yeah, you're right. Collie crosses are OK for those who can gel with them, but not all of us can or want to. I remember him saying saluki blood should never be brought into bitzas. Can't remember why. He considered himself an authority on lurchers, which is questionable. There are genuine authorities out there... Old Phil and Skycat and a lot of lads who aren't on the Internet. But, as I say he entertained and got a lot of folk interested.
  10. Plummer brought the world of lurchers, terriers and ferrets out into the public arena. Previously, the only time you saw the word 'lurcher' was in the now defunct Exchange and Mart which was a weekly magazine where you could buy all,sorts. A bit like an offline Ebay. I guess he set Hancock up in business and despite producing some duffers, he also produced some cracking dogs. Those who knew him reckon he was a wrong un, or partly a wrong un, but he did introduce a lot of folk into the sport because of his writings. I believe his terriers delivered what they said on the tin.
  11. I've been shot by one of those when I was a kid. Holding a jam lid above my head as a target. How thick is that? Hit me right in the soft part of the thumb. A and E job. I've still got a scar on my thumb and a weird looking thumb nail One of my other brothers has a blue line right up his arm where he was hit with a stray slug from the same gun. Kids and gun safety eh? lol
  12. My son was a big fan when he was a teenager. Collected all his books and articles and persuaded me to buy him a merle half cross from Hancock. It had the speed of a collie and the brain of a particularly retarded greyhound.
  13. At his peak, Smoking Joe for me. He was a human pitbull. The more he was hit the gamer he became.
  14. Check out Pets4homes, several adult American bullies are going for £100. I daresay if you haggle they would willingly give them away them for nothing. Some advertisers offer no additional information. Some say they are dog aggressive. One numpty says he has tried everything " even training" but his bitch is still reactive. There are dozens of litters of pups open to anybody with the money. You can't buy a gun without a licence, which includes a doctors reference and a background check. It is also very difficult to get on to ground and shoot deer for example without producing certificat
  15. I think you are right but only at that time in Fraziers career. I think there would have even different outcomes if they had fought when Frazier was at his best.
  16. I remember being amazed and saddened watching the first fight. I think Joe was caught early on on the temple. He didn't go down but I think his head was scrambled from then on. Foreman found his range so easily. Frazier didn't seem to know how to get inside and seemed to stand off him and allow Foreman dozens of free, really punishing punches. In the second fight I think Frazier tried to learn from Ali , he backed off and stayed on the ropes a lot. He seemed to abandon his major strength...relentlessly coming forward. It didn't work, Foreman found his range again and bludgeoned Joe.
  17. I think there are plenty of psychotic dogs and that these psychotic dogs appear more often in certain breeds. Inadequate, vulnerable people are attracted to these breeds because they offer status and protection. Solutions? Compulsory muzzling of all dogs in public and compulsory insurance for dog owners. Premiums would obviously depend on breed and weight. I have spoken. End of discussion.
  18. Good sales pitch that. "Tranquil cottage available, hidden away amongst Devon's meandering country lanes. A unique feature of this cottage is that you may roll your car on the approach or exit, but it will be a talking point for the rest of your lives." Lol
  19. Frazier should have " gamest man to ever lace a pair of gloves on" engraved on his tombstone. Respect.
  20. Sorry mate but no, it wasn't your influence, I've been reading Mao's little red book. He killed millions in the name of communism and brotherhood. And yes I have received your application for chief of morality police. Your CV is indeed impressive. I'm not promising, but your stated and obvious extensive knowledge in sado masochistic practices will weigh heavily in your favour when I make the appointment. However, your thinly disguised offer of a bribe was somewhat ironic given the fact that the job description clearly states an applicant must possess a high standard of moral int
  21. Camel's toe is this year's 'in' look. I'm looking into establishing a morality policeforce with the aim of caning any female parading such a look. Same as in Iran. Identities will be taken and parents will be visited and also caned.
