  1. It was the same when his silly wife got robbed after boasting about 8 million dollar diamonds on social media. They are fcuking cretins.Could not of put it better socks, at teatime last night one of my staff called me and said we had 6inches of water right through the business premises. I've spent all last night and today mopping out sludge and mud and water and filling skips, had to close so lost takings. And on the way to work this morning I hear on radio about his sleep deprivation, what a fakin suite bag. He wants try spending 24hrs cleaning 6inches of shit up and chucking stock away ! Poo
  2. The gin rin chagoi looks to be a nice fish. Koi with no scales or small amounts usually running down the back are known in japan as doitsu, known by carp anglers as leather carp I believe.

    Koi Pond

    The other thing I'd highly recommend would be join the Koi Mag Forum, there will be people on there who live locally to you that would happily come round and help you. There is a chap calls himself Tommy 2ponds who runs a fish consultancy business, he'd advise you on your pond check out your fish health and help you avoid expensive mistakes on your new build. Would be money very well spent.

    Koi Pond

    From what I understand you've got a gravity fed system, which is ideal for a koi pond. The water and fish waste (shit) go into the bottom drain travel through the pipe to your filter. The round part is called a vortex, it spins the water so that the heavy waste sinks to the bottom. The should be some kind of valve at the bottom to flush out the waste. The cleaner water goes over a lip or similar into the brushes, these should take out anything that hasn't settled in the vortex. Brushes aren't used so much these days, not because they don't work, but because they are a pain to clean. Sounds lik

    When I get 5 mins I'll try and work it out. Gnasher I think your right in the winter but in the summer on a nice day with a few cold beers you can't beat sitting by the pond with the sound of water.

    Koi Pond

    Really speaking it's overstocked, but if the water peramiters are ok then the filter is doing it's job. If your going for a new build I'd go minimum 2000 gallons, but remember as the size goes up the size of filters does too. If you go to koi mag forum there's a section on pond builds where people are asking all the questions that will need answering. Hope this helps. My own pond is 5600 gallons with fish up to 78cms, they were bought from bloodlines that produced big fish. I think it's genetics as much as pond size. The people who keep grow the fish huge i.e. 85cms+, generally have heated pon
  9. Seen him about a fortnight ago, just don't know what's around the corner. RIP Darren
  10. My brotherinlaw has beddies for bushing, they are shit hot at it too. Problem is they put there heads down and go, you just can't stop them and they tend to dissapear into the distance regardless, shouting and swearing doesn't help LOL. His have never been earth dogs, and are a bit clostraphobic to say the least. Edited to say his latest dog is a spaniel.
  11. Can't argue with any of that Earth, but somebody will LOL
  12. Grom/Tom is Chaz x Tilly 100%.
  13. Maybe there should be a new section, The Naughty Chair. The moderators send you there if your not in the 'clique', or if your not fond of people who bred a moderators dog. You can only post on there, until you've seen sense, and agree with what they say. Once you've learned your lesson, you may post on this and other sections, but you must say things like, 'yes', and sometimes 'no', but you must know your place.
  14. I've got nothing bad to say for Pickaxe nor Dillon, they have both done me favours, and if Ican ever return one I will, but the moderators are f*****g up this site. One rule for one, and one rule for another. It's a f*****g disgrace. Perhaps it's time for change????
  15. Yes, but if you keep putting the steady dogs together, pretty soon they are too steady. Hard dogs can be a pain in the arse, its difficult to give them regular work, and some never ease off with experience, but you KNOW they carry the game gene that all terriers need. JMHO. Good post FoxFan, and imo spot on.
  16. Great part of the world. Shit neighbours LOL
  17. We all know it can happen, but it's still a kick in the nuts when it does. Hope he lives on through his offspring. ATB Limb.
  18. If they work like they look your on a winner mate, good luck with them.
  19. Dr Lowrey was the first to import patterdales from Brian to America?
  20. Stuntman, sounds like you had what I'd class the last of the old stuff. What were the dogs you imported bred off?
  21. Pickaxe, you better get used to this for the next six weeks, kids are aloud to stay up late when there on school holidays.
  22. How old is the dog? He hasn't bred a litter in over 4 years. Same lines perhaps?
  23. There is a john jones that also has lakelands but not his own line. as far as i no its a welsh bred dog by glin i think it was glin jones i have herd the line mentioned a few times but dont no a great deal about it i bought the dog anyway as he had a good head in well proportion to his body and had seen a bit not alot They be old nuttal stuff He's on here, why not ask him.
  24. She's 23"ish to the shoulder. My daughter was holding her, makes her look bigger than she is.
