  1. Nope, though I have seen them live a few times, and had a few beers with Andy. I did miss out electronic music in that list, and I am a big fan. Here's a couple of pics of the Mrs with some electronic friends...
  2. Grew up in a world of 'ollers', bull terriers, clobber and The Jam (who I never seen as a Mod band) The Clash and The Damned. Was given a copy of the album Close To The Edge, by Yes, aged about 14, and it started a love of prog, Floyd, Genesis, Rush and Marillion. Through those came rock and Van Halen, Sabbath and everything else heavy. Then came the funk, Ohio Players, Parliament, Funkadelic etc I love so much music. To me music is a place, a feeling, a vibe. So everything can work. Right now, it's Sleaford Mods, The Viagra Boys and Amil & The Sniffers. But t

    Sad day

    Lovely pictures, that capture wonderful memories. Sorry for your loss mate...
  4. Lucky enough to first see him at Donnington in 1984. Then the original Sabbath reunion 1997 in Brum. Though music aside, he was a funny, warm, working class lad, with a love for the early bull bloods that came over from the states. RIP Ozzy
  5. I'm sure I read that Eddie Jones was looking for a little rabbit dog, but seen the litter and the Celt pup stood out. I then heard that the dog made a slow start and was late to mature, but once it was of age was a real deal collie cross. Looking at those photo's I'd have Eddie Jones and our own Chartpolski seperated at birth..!
  6. Bloody hell Neil, don't excuse the collie lurcher. They've been the mainstay of lurchers in the field for hundreds of years, and although they are almost 'bullied' off the posts on this forum, they are still the number one choice of those that can 'put more and get more' from a working lurcher
  7. Bellend of the highest order....
  8. Yes mate, possibly my fave series. Looking forward to the next

    Brilliant Arry, keep it going
  10. There is mate, I seen Nanny Pearl's get great reviews last year, and I'm tempted to give that a go. Edited to add, nothing would be too spicy
  11. Nope, I wouldn't do that mate. There are a few Caribbean restaurants in Liverpool now, so I just need to pick one and get stuck in. All them fillings on Downsouth's post are right up my street...
  12. He is a mumbler, though I've not seen anything I thought he was crap in tbh. The clearest he's sounded was in Legend, playing Reggie.
  13. Southport should be avoided like the plague on that day...
  14. If your vet says the toe needs to come off, I'd get a second opinion. Don't trust most vets. A mate's dog got in a fight with his other, and the vet wanted to take the front leg off. Second opinion from a 'better' vet and the dog will heal fine to run again. Most vets are anti's
  15. Never tried one. Must change that...
  16. Love them both... Seen today a 'new' trailer for Rambo First Blood, starring Tom... Not sure about that...
  17. That's not a bad thing mate, tbh it was far too hot. The guys and gals at Conwy did go above and beyond for dog (and human) welfare but it was bloody uncomfortable...
  18. It was a different 'Liverpool Billy' that had that first full saluki import, a good few years before BG had his.
  19. Willy's gone, but Billy's still here... I remember one of those imports, slipped on a hare on the Lydiate fields on Altcar. About 60 yards slip, the dog got right up on that hare and gave it a half turn, back on it again and this time the hare made a full turn. The dog just kept running straight, and sailed off into the distance, never to return. A week later I believe it was spotted going past Watford Gap Services... Not sure if it went through the tunnel, or got the ferry back home..!
  20. It was the first time I'd ever gone over a hound, and as expected her temperament was exceptional, which didn't help with judging, as she was like putty. Tadpole was a sweetheart. I'd agree, the hounds I seen were all carrying a bit more than they would in winter, but the young man showing her, said he'd been getting her out for a few walks with the show coming up.
  21. Got to judge the champion hound, for the overall champion at the Conwy Valley yesterday....
  22. Lovely pup that. Best of luck with it Neil

    Honer

    I'd agree mate, she was defo my fave out of all of em. Got better with age too...
  24. From his FB page he's, as he always was, into a bit of everything. A roofer by trade, he does his herbal remedies under the name of the fenland forager. Sells samphire and other edibles etc. Lives an interesting life by the looks of it. He probably will still keep a whippet or two, and I know he still has those Alunte things.
