The big supermarkets are decimated round here but the local shops are still holding up well. Just took my daughter to her swimming club, maybe for the last time (although sodium hypochlorite kills it) and the centre was as busy as usual, gym and classes full too. Even had the gangs of local scrotes outside the offey on my way home! Gonna get a lot worse though...

Hope all goes ok for you both mate... ?

Great entertainer was Roy. Met him in about 1975, on the stage of the Liverpool Empire, for the annual panto. Apparantly i must of thought it was gonna be my big acting debut and shot up there. On stage there was a line of boys and a line of girls and 'ol Roy wanted us to kiss under the mistletoe. Well sorry but aged 8 my life was football, swimming and my whippet and i wasn't having any of that kissing girl rubbish and i stormed off stage and sulked in my seat! Much to everyones amusement, apart from my little brother, who was so embarrassed for me, we didn't speak f

Dogs pulling of stuff they know they can’t catch. Good or bad?
Bosun11 replied to trigger2's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
When you see a dog run something that it almost has no right to catch, make that catch, you know you'd never want any other type... -
I've recently got hold of a Black Cat trap and was wondering if anyone else was using them? If so, what are you baiting them with and how are you setting them up, as i can only find American info on ground squirrels? Thanks

Only because i seen a topic abut these islands in the fishing section and remember that John Park sent over two youngsters to deal with a fox problem after the war (1980's!) Not read the Park book by Frein as yet, so anyone know how they got on...?

Dunno about fish but John Park sent two fine terriers to the Isles to help control foxes....

The advice on the thread is dead right, get a good brief..! But just to give a bit of perspective, around here, full permo or not, i've never carried the smallest of blades, nor have i worn cammo clothing, nor nothing but the best country attire or none country attire... Thing is, there are little scrotes being pulled all over the country. They don't give a f**k. Easy come, easy go. There indifference to the law is changing it constantly.... Wise up, the world is changing.... Best of luck... ?

It's a rarity i post anything about football, on here, or on any social media. They call us bitter blues but this season has been a 'bombardment' of redshite abuse. I never rowsed, said f**k all, resigned myself to the fact of how good Klopp is as a manager and how game by game, he has taken a 'decent' team to the top of the Prem and so comfortably too! But the facts/cracks are there.... A 'decent' team, when all about them in the Prem are mediocre... But its ALL about the title eh..? Is it, when you've always said the CL is your trophy. And then to get knocked out at Anfield...

I did on occasion before i lost my lurcher. Eye damage put me off most specks but in more 'open cover' (if that makes sense!) it can be good fun. As long as the bushers push stuff out and not keep chasing it round in the cover, though on most occasions, stuff flew out better than daytime. I used them cheap the lighted collars, which do make a difference to your view.

Interesting concept GM. Though, please excuse my naivity in this subject matter but if used on live quarry, wouldn't there be a good chance of wounding and fecking off with that dart stuck in it? As someone who, as a daft kid, used a re-curve bow on pheasants, duck and rabbits, i came to realise that light, pointy stuff dont work (and can get you in heaps of trouble!) Its the flat, heavy blow that knocks critters over. But as said, i have little expierence with a catty. ?

Thats a great score FD. Same with me a the min, need a few more specks to go at.

Bacon ribs, or spare ribs as they are known in this city. Boiled, with red cabbage and buttered bread, food of the gods indeed. What used to be a cheap Saturday tea is now feckin expensive for a couple of decent sheets. Back in the day me Mam had a huge pan full of the feckers on all day. Ribs on a Saturday, pea wack and lentil soups Sunday evening after yer roast, Monday & maybe Tursday if there was any left..!

Thank you mate, thats a great offer ??

She's a fine looking animal SC for sure. Makes me miss the dogs i used to keep even more...

Rickshaw, If you got any more direct info on Earl Tudor, I and i'm sure a few more would like to hear it. Of all the men in that game, i find him the most facinating. Maybe not on this thread but have a think about it and put sommat up. ? -
Don't get yer knickers in a twist there Sydney.... If your gonna put a book out on any subject and plan it so poorley that it both repeat's itself and goes off in all softs of directions, constantly making it difficult to read and then put sketches in that a school kid could better, then you should and will recieve critical comments. Especially when folk have forked out hard earned cash to buy it... And whilst i'm glad the author has chosen to write about 3 good terriermen, the books are all planned very badly. Funny that you dont read the same about Lloydy or Darcy, even Plumme

Always wondered what them Henry dogs Earl Tudor used were/are. IMO few dogs made the trip stateside in the coffin ships, nor many with any immigrants, heading for a new life. They were more concered with finding food and a life for themselves and their families to worry about sporting dogs. I believe the dogs went over with people who had more coin. Money men have always had more than an interest in game dogs and in the new world, with its masses of immigrants and poverty, not only in the big citys but in every unlawful town, there was more money to be made. -
Dr Hilary Jones on GMTV was saying that this morning. The fatality rate is now much higher than flu.
