  1. All good here Bill, hope the same with you and yours mate? Still parking for you at Anfield next time you need it and the kettle will be boiling at the new house, either on your way to, or back from the match. Be good to catch up... ?
  2. Agree with Darbo, great news! Really looking forward to this, loved the first book, nice one Bill ?
  3. One of the best things about travel IMO, weird and wonderful food. Will give almost anything a go and have done. Want to try that tinned putrid fish from Iceland next. Keep looking at folks balking trying to eat it and thinking, give it here, i'll smash that! Thing is, as long as it's a 'staple' or the norm in whatever country, it's gotta be worth a go. Wouldn't want to eat some of that stupid, cruel, gastro stuff i've heard of (live monkey brain etc) but with the exception of rat (cos their feckin rats!) or anything endangerd, bring it on.?
  4. Need a bit more info on your Dan dog mate. I'm sure you'll get plenty of replies when folk know what Dan dog it is... So, cross/type/breeding etc ?
  5. Good pics them Katchum, love to see 'genuine' working dogs. Getting back to Two Crows post, couldn't agree more. In past times, Lurcher production was always governed by geography and ANY dog that might produce, was used in areas that were predominantly arable. I've never bought into ideal that the 'traditional' lurcher is being collie, or sheep dog bred... Read Ted Walshes Poachers Companion book, which is a collection of old poachers tales from history, all put into one book. It highlights a variety of lurcher crosses and types, all wrote about long ago. Dont get me wrong, pas
  6. Always admired the bone and frame of that dog. Seen that picture many times over the years and that dogs 'substance' stands out a mile. Robust, built to graft for a living, his living....
  7. Brawn is fantasic, have a go at that. I used Hugh Ferrety-Whippetstalls recipe but theres loads on the net. Keep us posted ?
  8. My first ever Game Fair, Gary Hosker was flogging that photo amongst his other prints.
  9. Agreed, thank you..! Wouldnt mind but i dug out that huge coursing Seagull thread, to keep this to Norfolks... ?
  10. Sticks in my mind too Wilf... For all the wrong reasons. At age 13, i believed Minter was unbeatable. Winning the title and in Vegas and i think Hagler was his second defence. Watching it with my dad and granddad, the build up was electric. I remember first seeing that steely eyed look from Hagler when he first entered the ring and suddenly it didn't seem quite so comfortable for 'our boy'. Marvelous Marv was devistating and through his accuracy and power, Minter split like an old leather couch and it was all over... Then the bottles and glasses reigned in on the ring and chaos
  11. Ox tails are a great addition to slow cooked venison.
  12. Swazi and Paramo are both very good but aint cheap.
  13. Remember a kennel design picture put up on here, was a cracker. It showed a really decent fall on the base for quicker drying and it sloping toward the kennel box, with the aco drain at the back. Making sure the kennels feet allow water to pass beneath. The reason for this it that it drys quicker at the front, where dogs stand the most and you can clean and swill down from the front, which is easier.
  14. Just been reading about RVD being introduced to Oz as a biological control agent and it killing 10 million rabbits within 8 weeks of its release...! In my opinion this disease will wipe out the wild rabbit in many countries over the next 10 years. Thankfully native american species, like the cottontail, are not suseptable to it (yet!)
  15. Like the rat, very adaptable... Recon your spot on with your ear theory too mate ?

    Same as the above. Gut em, skin em and freeze em for a couple of weeks before feeding
  17. So rabbit numbers in Oz are as low as they are here these days?
  18. Sure Ossie had a song out at sometime...?? ??
  19. Hava nageela hava nageela hava.... ?
