    At the beginning of this thread there's a lad who refers to him as "Mr Plummer" and appears to think he was some sort of God. Guess he was just a young lad with some spare hero worship to get rid of. I can well imagine Plummer addressing others as inferiors. I suppose the game he got into: lurchers and ferreting, are traditionally working class pursuits. So he no doubt thought he was superior as he was from a middle class background, in a middle class job, and was, in effect slumming it with us peasants----- "educating" us in the process. I think he would have got right up my nose!

    She does what it says on the tin. That's for sure. Can't believe she's still at it.
  3. jukel123
    Which one is which? Is she the one on the left or right?

    That's normal in my neck of the woods. Bloke saw somebody drowning, took off his jacket and shoes, dived in and pulled the bloke to safety. Looked round for his gear and somebody had lifted them and legged it.

    For me its hideous and comical. But it's all about freedom. If that's what they want then so be it. I'm not fond of teddy bears and cartoon figures on children's graves. But the families obviously don't think so. At the end of the day it's nobody's business but the families.

    Thing is the parents didn't deliberately put the kid in harms way. It's pure and simple ignorance. There's too much 'Disneyfication' of dogs. They no doubt thought a dog would protect the family, guard the house and be a loved addition to the family. Dogs originally bred for fighting are, imo, more dangerous than other breeds. Parents need to be educated. But who would provide the education I don't know.

    I remember her as a writer in The Shooting News. She sounded scary. Not a woman to get on the wrong side of.

    Running a full grey or a heavily saturated grey in a lurcher race seems like an able bodied athlete competing in the paralympics to me. Or a transgender male competing with women.

    I like the odd lurcher show just for looking at the dogs and a bit of craic. I've never bothered with showing or racing. Wouldn't a savvy lurcher refuse to chase a lure knowing its not the real thing? Or even cut corners and intercept the lure?

    I still would...if I could.

    I'd always thought we'd get them later than you guys in the south, but we get them in middle to late March regularly in South Scotland. Certainly enough insect life for them this week.

    I vaguely remember him being critical of your writing ability? I'm not one to blow smoke up others' rectums, but I think you proved him wrong.

    Stop sitting on the fence. Tell us what you really think of the man.? Care to share examples of his behaviour which caused you such disdain?

    He was lucky. That family have ways of dealing with embarrassing family members.

    What do you think she saw in the Royal multi- millionaire Edward?
  16. jukel123
    Remember that photo of him and the now Duchess of Sussex?

    This the one. Thanks Mackem.??

    Yes writers can bullshit. It comes with the territory. For me, separating fact from fable is part of the fun. I have fond memories of Friday nights in the eighties. My two boys and me would compete for the Shooting News where Plummer was star man, along with Daergi and old Phil on here. Then we would get fish and chips and a VHS film. Not forgetting Tiswas on a Saturday morning. They had their slapstick and I had that eye candy woman whose name escapes me.??

    Roe were regularly taken by Whippets. Fox as well. Whippets still believe they are greyhounds so will often take on prey species far larger than themselves. Very often Whippets have to be protected from their own gameness, because tackling larger species, factors in welfare issues for both dog and prey.
  20. jukel123
    Whippets are scoffed at by the uninitiated. Sometimes size can be deceptive.

    How come you travel so widely? Tell me to mind my own business if you like. No offence taken.
  22. jukel123
    You seem to have been everywhere Mackem...and not in a bullshitty big- headed way. How did/do you get to travel so widely?
  23. jukel123
    Anybody? I'm in Scotland . I was in a reserve yesterday and on their arrivals board were Swallows, Sand martens and a Cuckoo. I didn't see them though.

    Book

    jukel123 replied to DIDO.1's topic in General Talk

    It's a small world, the author hails from my neck of the woods. My eldest brother is 79 and went to school with him. We Salford lads are hard as f**k. Police, scousers, brummies, geordies, fighting bulls, they all kneel before us.? Thanks for the offer but I probably wouldn't read it. There's been a few documentaries about him which I've watched and my brother has collected bits and bobs. I know he's still at it having been gored a few times. He's got a metal knee and had a heart attack.

    Boys, boys, Dido is a Putin sympathiser. He is a traitor. Hang him!??
