  1. Are there any documented accounts of lurchers living wild? Lots of lurchers get lost when working and they are certainly capable of fending for themselves. Any stories evidence?
  2. Just watched the news. There was a sonic boom when it blew. Amazing.
  3. Think that opportunity has gone. China is too powerful. The yanks got a hiding from the Viet Cong and the Taliban. They only had will power and AK 47s. The chinks are increasing their financial and military power all the time. Don't think the yanks have got the balls to mess China.
  4. Sounds plausible. Maybe it will depend on how bullish the states will prove if theres a war between Ukraine and Russia. Would they stick at arming the ukes and economic sanctions or would they put boots etc on the ground. Scary stuff.
  5. Surely, as an independent country, Ukraine can make its own decisions without threats from Russia. Or is it not so simple as that ?
  6. Is it going to kick off? What's the ramifications going to be? Does Putin have a point when he complains about NATO provocation? Anybody care to explain what is really going on underneath the spin?
  7. Their economy depends on perpetual warfare to stimulate demand for weapons and to stimulate research into more ever more sophisticated weapons The yanks love a good war and spin any reason they want to start one. The military conflicts they have engaged is truly mind boggling. American Involvement in Wars From Colonial Times to the Present WWW.THOUGHTCO.COM A guide to the major wars in which Americans have fought from the colonial days to ongoing wars in Libya, Iraq, Syria, Uganda, Kenya, and Yemen.
  8. You tried breeding them in merles or with big heads and jaws? Could make yourself a fortune mate if they catch on.?
  9. All the evil in the world and we concentrate on some guy who worked out there was money to be made in selling designer dogs. Good luck to the guy if arseholes want to buy some misshapen dogs that go with a season ticket to the vets.
  10. Ain't that the truth. Meanwhile the multinationals exploit employees, rip the piss out of the tax system whilst providing discrete back handers to largely corrupt politicians. The same politicians award mates insane PPE contracts during the biggest health emergency for a century, are found to have broken the law and f**k all happens to them.
  11. Guilty of back to back breeding? Isn't that what farmers do and then cull animals when they they lose efficiency/ profitability? What makes dogs so different? Guilty of making healthy profits? That's called capitalism isn't it? Guilty of breeding unhealthy monstrosities? That's consumer choice isn't it? Guilty of avoiding tax? How dare little people attempt this practice. That's the sole domain of the big boys! They saw a market opportunity and made the most of it. I would suggest that people who criticise them are just envious of the staggering profits they made. There w
  12. What's the long term prediction for this virus? When it first appeared I read it would burn itself out in 7 years. No such luck. Had a place where farmer used to beg me to deal with rabbits. I killed over a thousand a season most years. Counted 4 today. Is there anywhere in the country where rabbits have got resistance?
  13. I read "The Moons a balloon" over 50 years ago. I was shocked! As Shirley Valentine said: "I've lived such a little life". It was a revelation to see how the other half fornicate. ??
  14. You lead an amazing, mysterious life mate. Are you the next James Bond?
  15. I find I can concentrate on non fiction better, especially biographies and autobiographies. Any recommendations?
  16. That ones as old as the one who jacked in his job at the helium factory. " No f****r talks to me like that" he said.
  17. You've never lived till you get that big pull on the line. Just been out with the dogs and one saw a cat and pulled on the lead. My first reaction was" its a pull on the line, strike!" Give it a try mate. You'll be hooked.??
  18. Funny how guys end up with similar interests. Lots of members interested in: lurchers, terriers, fishing, shooting, cage birds, poultry, boxing, football metal detecting, snooker, darts falconry. With me, ever since I was a kid, it's been anything that moves.....starting off with beatles, butterflies and worms as a toddler and moving on to fishing ferreting etc etc. Wonder if it's in the blood or what?
  19. Wonder if metal detectorists do a bit of moonlight detecting on protected sites? I've known some lurcher boys who got lost from their permission in the middle of the night. ?????
  20. Mate o mine is very knowledgeable. Discovered many Roman coins, including some valuable rare ones. Has a super sophisticated machine. I would love to to take it up but Iv e got so many different ties I haven't the time. One coin he discovered was awarded after 25 years service in the Roman army. It entitled the bearer to a plot of land and a pension in Rome. Often wonder how it came to be lost. Did he ever get his pension and land or did he miss out because he misplaced the coin?
  21. Dont disagree with that, young vets work like hell both academically and physically. Medicine and dentistry demand the same entry qualifications as veterinary surgery, but the pay and conditions are much better.....regular hours and they don't get bitten, kicked and shat on. A young vet told me recently that she had worked twelve hours for less than the minimum wage. The problem is that the profits of the business go to the main partner and all the shitty work goes to the youngsters. It's the same old story the big boys get the profits and the workers get washers.
  22. Yup, just checked the article I was reading Loyd George sold peerages for fifty grand in 1921.??
  23. The going rate for a Boris peerage is only £50000. Contribute this amount to the tory party and it's a nailed on peerage. That's democracy for you.
  24. How Bliar and his sidekick Alistair Campbell can appear on chat shows etc pretending that they are regular, decent human beings is beyond me. They've got some bottle. A lot of Islamic attacks on the West is down to them.
