  1. I had a deerhound lurcher I bought as a sapling at Appleby fair twenty or so years ago. I had met a few old mates there and was a bit merry. I bought the bitch "sold as seen". The guy who sold it me had acquired it that morning as a make weight in a horse sale. He knew nothing about her breeding or her background. As he said himself, it might be a stock worrier, so I got it for £100 quid less twenty notes luck. My Mrs gave me the usual earache when I brought it home, but it turned out not to have any vices. It wasn't a world beater and it preferred larger game.But it was a lovely dog to
  2. Thats good to hear. At my centre, everything goes into landfill! I must kick up a fuss with my councillor and see if we could adopt a similar system.? They do recycle metal, plastic etc but large items like sofas, easy chairs, divans etc goes to landfill. The council have contracted out their recycling responsibilities at an extortionate rate.
  3. It breaks my heart to see the quality of the items which are thrown out at my recycling centre. Its criminal! Anything half decent should be transferred to a warehouse where individuals and charities can take their pick. The guys at our centre will "turn their back' if you want anything, but no doubt risk losing their job if they are caught. There's CCTV everywhere! Madness!
  4. No mate, you're not thinking straight. Woodsmoke is bad for the environment. Get her an exercise bike attached to a generator. She will be transformed into a skinny, perspiring, sex goddess and you will get free energy. Simples.
  5. In the olden days we collected and returned the bin to your garden and took everything we were asked. It was a win win because we could often sell stuff to a scrappie, a second hand dealer or, occasionally, an antiques dealer. Then came the rise of the sinister, faceless bureaucrats.....computer says no. Bureaucracy is a hump on everyones back.
  6. I had a spell as a binman when I was a young man. Believe it or not it was a great job in those days. Camaraderie, good hours and loads of stuff thrown out which we could snaffle and sell ourselves. The worst part was a round which took in the mining areas. Their bins were full of ash from the free coal they enjoyed. Steel bins with corroded bottoms meant you got a gobfull of ash every step you took. A common trick, again I'm talking 50 odd years ago, was to turn your gas meter round so that the clock ran backwards. If you were caught it was deemed very serious, probably because of the ri
  7. Read any truthful description of Iti greyhounds and you will be informed that they are difficult to house train. Some owners resort to keeping them in crates. The main reason that they end up in rehoming kennels is because they prefer to sneak off into corners and pee rather than brave the outside chill. Met a bloke who had a couple and he said he hated the little b*****ds because of their uncleanliness. His wife insisted on keeping them. Not for me.
  8. The breeder of your pup's sire is on here under the name Seavaldhounds. She got the usual THL welcome when she joined.?
  9. Your friend that you acquired your present bitch keeps pure deerhounds. If you don't mind me asking, what lineage do his dogs come from?
  10. f**k that! I was one of the youngest. By the time my turn came, the water was black and had the consistency of treacle. The towels were all soaking and the tin was hard on your arse. Carry on showering!
  11. All the energy companies should be nationalised. The vulnerable's energy costs should be subsidised. Privatising energy was a con. We are literally paying the costs now. Personally I'm not reducing my heating. I have a saying: "Im too old to be f***ing cold".
  12. That explains the amount of badger road kill at this time of the year.
  13. It shows how little they actually give a f**k. Firstly to ignore and blame the victims. Then to whitewash the events. Job done. There's a serious lack of confidence in any of our institutions. i hope it will bite them in the arse one day.
  14. My mistake. Different bloke. The guy Trevor was on about was from the North East. Apologies.
  15. Went fishing this morning with my mate. Arrived at the river to spot a ewe and twin lambs marooned on a small island. The river is tidal and the sheep would eventually be washed off the island into the icy water. We decided to fetch our boat which was 12 miles away. Got back to the river car park hoping to borrow a jeep with a tow bar or a tractor. The tractors were all out being used and there were no jeeps in the car park. We therefore had to push and pull the boat about a 1/3 of a mile to the rivers edge. Not easy for two old geezers in their 70s. The upshot was we launched the bo
  16. I think,but am not sure, that the bloke who bred your bitch,(Lima) had two litters out of greyhound bitches to the same deerhound sire at the same time ( Doxhope Knights Errant). I met Trevor and he told me the breeder had used his stud dog but not paid him and then came back asking to use the dog again! (If that isn't true I apologise before I am sued for libel.) Trevor showed me round his allotment and introduced me to his hounds.....crackers! He used to be on here but I have lost contact with him now. One thing for sure is that he worked his hounds to very good effect.
  17. Keep your sex life to the absolute minimum. . And no

  19. I was just looking at these. You can buy them cheap and they are easily bred. Did think of introducing them into my garden. Not now.
  20. My cock is bigger than your cock arguments never end well.
  21. Just had to come in from garden, perishing, icy wind and outside thermometer registering two degrees. Eighteen degrees last week. Minus two forecast tonight.
  22. Keep us informed mate. I'm thinking of getting back into it next season. I gave up after losing so many birds after they went 'light'. Good luck for the season.
  23. That's a bit naughty CP. There may have been whacko individuals within Labour who have advocated such views, but it is inaccurate to infer that the Labour Party itself has voted for such measures. There are anti fieldsports MPs across the political spectrum. In a sense these MPs are reflecting society's views on field sports. Survey after survey indicate we are in a perilous minority when it comes our sports. Every attack must be fought as best we can. Once an activity is banned, we will never get it back.
  24. Take it down DC. You made a mistake. Get rid of it.
