  1. I'm a fan... A huge fan of the works of David Brian Plummer. I've read and re-read his books many times over the years. Sure, they're flawed, massively so, in some cases.... I knew that as a 12 year old kid. Legend has it that Jimmy Keeling write R&RD's and Plummer 'stole it' from him. His lamping accounts in Merle are so doubtful, as are his digging tales in Artisan and Omega, as well as a million other faults BUT for me, i don’t care, I'd much rather pick up one of his books for entertainment than most others... His books can draw me in so well, draw me to a life in the Br
  2. Just get whatever is easiest... IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF MONEY...!!!
  3. And your 'ol man knew his stuff mate... ? We just see Jay's as crows and Magpie's BUT BUT they are much more... Much more to woodland habitat, much more to biodiversity and really something to shout about. Hats off to your 'ol man mate. He knew his onions, a true Countryman... ? Some species make Briton great... ?
  4. Without reading the whole topic..! Look after your Jay family's, no matter what they do to the songbirds. For about 10 years they will plant you more Oak, Chestnut and Horsechestnut, amongst others, than you could ever do. They will provide everything every other species needs to survive.... We seem to have an inbuilt habit of blasting Jay's and yet these birds are the ultimate in woodland habitat provision.
  5. Right behind Working Terriers, this has to be the most soul destroying topic on THL... Now, I'm growing lettuce, three varieties, beans, broad and runner, kale, chard, cabbage, courgette, cucumber, sweetcorn, strawberry, blackcurrants, redcurrent, gooseberries and more.... But I'll be fecked putting pics up on here, some of you lot make me look like a laughing stock... Best of luck this summer, one and all... ????
  6. Can't be arsed reading back but due to at least one FB 'terrierman' these seem to be the new 'must have'.....
  7. Thanks Borr, a couple of years back, but i'll message him ?
  8. Got a mate looking for a well made two piece spade/shovel. There was a bloke advertising some on the FB terrier pages, but he's stopped making them for the time being. Anyone know where he could get one? Thanks
  9. That's excellent work... ?
  10. He's a FB sensation.... Pissed himself laughing the day it all came on top, and was posting more incriminating shite within a week... Does anyone think he gives a feck? And there's a hundred more right behind him.... It's all fecked.... ?
  11. Met SMP a couple of times at the Cup. Bloke would/could talk to anyone and he was always 'holding court'.... My fave quote of his i was not there for. And i'd bet somone can tell it better than me. It occured on another coursing field where a Roe buck got up infront of two coursing greyhounds and one turned off the hare and nailed that buck. SMP's reaction to the field was, "that dog doesn't know it yet, but it's got a wonderful carear right in front of it..." Or sommat like that... ?
  12. Don't know what the cup is for, can you tell us more please?
  13. Stunning pup there. Best of luck with her, and keep us posted ?
  14. Recently seen a pair of these first hand and then googled their website. I must say, they look and feel really good, and for the price well worth a punt. ?
  15. I do love a decent fish & chip shop. Our fave one is The Swan, in Southport. Only every few months mind, makes us enjoy it even more... ?
  16. I'd have a lot of fun with that type of lurcher but in a few years time... ?
  17. I'm a huge fan of Mali's but i've no use for one... My lurchers have always guarded, which is enough gard for me. Sadly for the Mali, its really gaining popularity which, with this breed needing so much work, will only end in tears. They ain't for the faint hearted...
  18. Sorry mate, i just found it dark and dull, with Statham just playing Statham, as per bloody usual..! Based on the book The Feather Men (which is a great title, that should of been used..!!) about a group of SAS who go rogue or sommat... Nah... Not for me...
