Watched 3:10 To Yuma last week and thoughly enjoyed it. I had seen the 1957 original a couple of times as a kid. A Glen Ford film, it's ok. I'd also watched this new version (2007) before but for whatever reason, just not taken it in. However, within the first 5 mins it had me hooked. Brilliant performances from Bail and Crow kept the film edgy and dark, with the best performance going to Ben Foster, as the sly right hand man of Crows character. You don't need to be a fan of the western to enjoy this one. A great watch, highly recommended... ?

Very true and out off the masses of litters he bred, some turned out very good dogs... ?

It was all collie's and curs in the 1970's for me, with a whippet or two thrown in for good measure. First pic is my nan, in the late 60's with her border Shandy. Then Whiskey & Pep two of the pups my grandad bred. Then lastly our Trixy, in her dotage, she was a collie whippety cur that really could catch rabbits.

9 weeks and ratting under pallets.... No dog has ever been ruined by late entering but plenty have been ruined by starting them too early... I do know of a bloke who has mini bushing dogs, tiny little yorkie looking things. No idea what they are like on rats but they can run through an earth like its the Mersey Tunnel. Wouldn't know if they could fit under pallets either, that job would best suit a big hob ferret imo. If its tiny ratters you want, breed your own. It's a risk but there are loads of toy breeds you could use. You'd just have to find one with attitude. Funny th

Firstly, another cracking photo Phil ? Just coming back to those bully looking collie crosses. I had one, back in the early 90's. The litter was a f1 collie/grey cross and a lad i knew took the biggest dog from the litter. All growed up, this dog had a cracking athletic/racy frame but with a head like a bull cross. Looking at him head on anyone would have thought he was simply that. At around 11 months his owner offered him to me and i gladly near snapped his hand off. I got him tuned in to me and match fit and took him for a night on the dunes. He was superb, and i came home r

After Ruby Tex's post its hardly worth putting my modest border up but i am happy with it this year and have tried to pack as much flowering plants as i can in there. As has been said, both Verbina and Globe Thistle are huge bee attractors and so is the lambs ears, i don't know there propper name. Some of these plants are older than me, and were in both my grandparents and parents houses before mine. The lilac, lambs ears & hosta's to name three...

Superb them RT, is it a stately home or viewing gardens?

Lovely Arry ? Yer, i have globe thistle in my garden, the bees love it. ?

At least one line of coursing dog, is said to have Irish Terrier in its make up. Where you'd go to find an I.T. that'd be worth breeding from i doubt many would know...

I think climbing roses are stunning, fragrant and sadly very out of fashion these days...

No mate, bees don't really bother with it much, it's just a cover plant.

Yep... ?????????

mC I think your disruptive, provoking and manipulative and do it all behind thumbs up laughing emoji's and calling everyone mate. Your not an idiot and your posts really arn't just for the craic. You go out your way to backhandedly take the piss out of people and their dogs, good lads, honest posters on here, all done with a smiley face. You are playing your game very well, people are biting and your lapping it up. What you do very well is take decent posts and threads and turn them into the mC show and it's getting very tiresome 'mate'.... ?????????

Clematis Montana type, early flowering, with small white and pink flowers. Used mostly as a cover plant. Looks great in flower but once its covered what it needs to cover, it needs a good tidy up evey year. I like clematis but you've got to choose the type that will flower when you want them too. And as Tomo said, many have very short flowering and can look piss poor after. I think they look best mixed with other plants, say at the back of a border, on trellis up a fence. They can and do climb trees and can enhance the look and lastly used simply to cover things. They like

Not one single person reported you mC, it was me and only me.... I never 'banned' you either, i issued you with a couple of warning points, which gave you a couple of days off. If you want to know why, its because it was all getting a bit much, repetitive and would eventually lead to unrest and fighting. I enjoy the banter mC but you've got neither an off swtich nor another channel sometimes. So all i ask is that you enjoy the site and contribute, as i'm sure you have plenty to offer. ? Oh, and as for Rudeboy, unless i've missed sommat, i warned him directly about the way h
