  1. We generally take them away when they're small enough that the dog could choke if she tried to swallow it !
  2. It's all well and good, but when there's Xmas ads on the telly, while fireworks are going off outside......................
  3. Bear Grylls had better start watching his back,,,,,,,,, and another thing - just once could make sure your lad has a miserable day when he doesn't enjoy life to the full? Seriously, looks like another grand day out for the 2 of you !
  4. Not sure I understand. My grandwother told me about her dad and he was in the trenches in WW1. They captured some Germans and put them in part of the trench then when it got too much trouble they threw grenades in there and killed the lot of them. War is hell to coin a phrase....I haven't been there but I know people do crazy shit they wouldn't normally do. We shouldn't punish them for acting the way we trained them to be. And that, Nik, is exactly my point !
  5. Nether Broughton I was going to say that - I drive through Melton Mowbray on the way to see my old Mum. It's a fine-looking herd ! Welcome,mate, and look forward to seeing you around.
  6. And all this a couple of days before we commemorate those who have given their lives and those who have put themselves in harm's way, to keep us safe and free....................................... The irony isn't lost on me, anyway !
  7. The smartest one in that household is the one with 4 legs............................
  8. How are they immoral? If the sandal was on the other foot, he would be taken to a cave somewhere and his head cut off with a bread knife. Live by the sword die by the sword imo I don't think there is any room for political correctness in a war zone. There is certainly not any room for sending troops out to fight your battles then not giving them 100% support when They need it. Scandalous. Or shot, like Highlander McLaren. Unless there are plans to ethnically cleanse Afghanistan of all Pashtuns, there is no way the Afghan situation will be resolved with a solely military solution. A ne
  9. because it was black ... ? I tend to find it sells better when it shines ... theres always something to learn in any game.......saying that dont clean silver are you thinking of pewter ----? don't clean pewter On antique prog's, the amateur is discouraged from cleaning silver - they say you can get a bit heavy-handed, and the hallmarks can rub away. what do you reckon,Stig?
  10. it was black silver usually go`s black and you can feel the difference in the quality and weight without revealing the hallmarks for everyone else to see--- once I spotted it I buried it at the bottom of the box I was going to pay upto quid for the lot so when I was the only bidder at a fiver I was more than happy So it owes more to sleight of hand and skullduggery?
  11. Found guilty of murdering an insurgent who was trying to kill them only shortly before? So, you're only allowed to kill he enemy under certain circumstances? When all is said and done, the Marine was only doing his job ! i agree with Stranger - he who lives by the sword.......................
  12. I don't want to play - it's a stupid game anyway.................. I'l name that tune in 1 !!
  13. Nice work, Gav ! Looks like you're catching the bug ! (How did you get on against the pheasants ?)
  14. BPR Catapults.............................do I see a brand name in the making ?
  15. some will have noticed that I'm no lover of our colonial cousins, but to attack a defenceless old man is crossing the line ! i hope the fuckwits are punished to the limit of the law !
  16. First 2 wives died of mushroom poisoning. 3rd wife got shot..............................wouldn't eat the fecking mushrooms !
  17. Hello and welcome Rikki. Many happy hols in Skeg when I was a lad ! Enjoy the forums.
  18. See the thread called 'Another tragedy'..........................................
  19. Can we volunteer someone else ?
  20. No re-homing centres......................? Number of dogs 'put down' each year might fall, if it wasn't possible to fob the animal off and make it someone else's problem, and if the only option was to personally take the dog on it's 'final walk' ? (Neems- just pipped me there!)
  21. BBC news is now showing what looks like an American bulldog or large Staffordshire................
  22. Latest........................ The Doge de Bordeaux (French mastiff) shown in some photos with the little girl is not the dog being investigated by police. That seems to be saying that the family pet was not responsible. On a general note, I have a Mastiff X, and when the grandchildren visit, she is never left alone with them - not even for a second ! It's just a sensible precaution, but just because she weighs around 45kg, doesn't mean she is more prone to bite, in my opinion. Edited to add - the Doge wasn't re-homed to the family by ArsePCA.
