You have not factored in the deterrent effect of STIFFMEISTER. Amateur.

'Achilles' does not strike fear and respect into our enemies. It suggests an obvious vulnerability in the heel area. Let's hope they haven't built it with a pull_out bath plug in the hull.

What are the bigger defence issues mate?

Low self esteem. It's a curse.

People,voted for Labour in the last election hopingnfor an end to sleaze and austerity. Within weeks we learned Starmer and his wife were accepting undeclared freebies and Reeves reduced the old age pension. New boss same as the old boss.

I would love a GSD lurcher. One of the main advantages is that they retain the shape of the GSD, so nobody knows youve got a running dog. On the outside you've got GSD, nobody would give you a second look. But on the inside, if you've got a dog like Buck, you've got a brilliant lurcher which will take all game. It's a no brainer. There was a bloke on here known as Black Greyhound. He was a great believer in the GSD cross. He got himself in a lot of trouble with one his dogs. He was a good member, but he got pissed off with the aggro on here and left.

When the tories waged class war on yourself and Bakerboy, they left communities demolarised and local economies in ruins. Any civilised government would have provided money /training, built factories and invested in alternative skilled employment. They do that in other countries. You cannot just close down a whole industry and abandon them. But ask farmers to pay half the tax as other people and people start crying foul. I've a million per cent more empathy with the miners than farmers. I don't remember them supporting the miners or anybody else when the chips were down. Tha

Maybe it was planned. Lots of low cost labour is good for profits.

Probably mate. He was partial to anything. He didn't say much,he was always munching. Good lad all the same.

The evidence in terms of empty paper wrappers and a man with his gut flowing even more than usual over his thick leather belt was there for all to see. His nickname was Benny Gannet. Incidentally Mack,I had 9 salmon that night, one lad had twelve and the rest sixes and sevens. The book says theres no point in fishing for salmon at night.lol. Although it wasn't dark for long being summer. We pooled the lot and were seriously rich. Benny got his cut too. We should have deducted the fish and chip money but let him off.Lol Sorry if I'm digressing from the thread folks.

And the more low paid, low skilled there are competing for jobs, the more stagnant wages and therefore the economy becomes.

People can only eat "one lunch and one dinner". True story. About 40 years back there were seven of us fishing a river bank. Salmon and sea trout were being landed in phenomenal numbers. We decided to fish all night. One chap was dispatched in his ancient Morris Minor at 8 pm to bring us back 7 fish and chip suppers. He didn't arrive back until 7am. His van had broken down and rather than waste the the fish suppers, he ate the lot! He was a pig farmer and could scoff as well as his stock.

Actually Jim fixed it for me to milk a cow in the dark.

Corfu mate. I read that and went to Corfu on the strength of that book. Been back many times. There's areas in Corfu which have not changed since his day. But not many.

I remember way back,probably 60s , Blackpool Tower zoo had a gorilla in a cage which I can only describe as a cell. It even had a concrete bed and pillow. It just lay there with one arm propping his head up. It was doing life in solitary for no crime. I' ll never forget the sadness and resignation in its eyes. If I could see it was out of order ss a kid why couldn't the zoo owners? Coin I guess.

I remember when I was about 15, I wrote to Gerald Durrell and asked him for a job in his zoo. Twat never replied. His loss.

Plus zoos keep endangered species alive. I still find zoos a top day out. Great for kids and adults. Also they are becoming more responsible and animal friendly all the time.

5 salmon, five grilse and half a dozen sea trout. In the past you could catch that amount in a day. No exaggeration. But Salmo Salar is in big trouble as a species. Its now officially an " endangered" species. The salmon are now much smaller and painfully thin. Do you remember the plump salmon , bursting with flesh and eggs? They now look like kelts. There's too much waged against them.....polluted rivers, far more frequent storms and droughts,. Warmer rivers and seas and farmed salmon. The wild fish pass the salmon cages and pick up disease. They also hybridise with escaped farmed fish

Yep, season opens on Feb 25th.

Well I'm with Greyman. Any b*****d wants to fight us, just tell us the date, the time and postcode. Be warned. Old boys fight rough.
-
Some beauties there. Leopards are my favourite big cats. They really punch above their weight.
-
I keep keep coming back to this point. But why do members get so irate about Greyman pursuing his hobby? He definitely does not need me to have his back. He's ferocious when he gets going and a match for anybody.lol. But gets loads of aggro. He tootles along, does his thing, not harming anybody. Why do people get so angry ?
-
Thats right mate. Senior moment.
-
No on both counts. I think the monkeys were phased out long before I was born on animal welfare grounds. From the monkeys point of view it must have been strange hurtling along at breakneck speed over fences.

Lions and leopards can interbreed. The offspring are known as leptons. They have spots. Possibility the marozi were hybrids ? At Belle Vue zoo in Manc circa 1950s there was a magnificent ligon, a hybrid between a lion and and a tiger.
