Driest spring on record apparently. Just seen a clip on the news about the Chesterfield canal about boats being stopped from travelling the canal due to the lock gates being stopped from being opened.

I agree mate find Piers Brosnan cringy in it though i do find the actor who plays Ritchie Stevens in it a good actor who plays the part well.

Not seen the local roe on my daily walks now for a few weeks I have an inclination they have moved into the private woods now the shooting season is over hopefully. Do you have any success with them roe calls as I was thinking of giving one a go.

Probably a deflection tactic from the Labour party.

Just seen on the news sweeping reforms on immigration. I doubt these reforms would not have been announced if it was not for the success of Reform recently in taking that by-election and council seats from Labour.

I think most of the biker gangs are now more into raising money for charity. Though it did kick off in Sheffield last year when one member of a biker chapter was attacked and loads of them turned up and had a set to with the non English perpetrators.

You are right mate come to think of it now and I am sure I've got these on dvd somewhere.

I recall watching one with Phil sure it was lurcher mania with speckle his cattle dog cross lamping some stubbles and then giving a run down on different lamps that's also written about in the booklets that Phil produced years ago.

Sad news indeed my condolences to Phils family and close friends RIP. Those of us of a certain age will have heard the name Phil Lloyd the first time in his weekly page in the then shooting news in the 80s a page in that paper I always looked forward to reading and a name that if it ever cropped up in conversations between other lurcher enthusiasts be it at shows or on the land never once did i ever hear a bad word spoken of the man an indication of how genuine and the real deal he was.

I agree mate. I remember some years back a nutcase from Rotherham was jailed and every opportunity he got he would attack prison guards and was a liability he ended up being found dead in his cell and tbh nobody gave a feck about his death and rightly so with this scumbag who murdered them little girls in Southport nothing would please me better if he was found dead in his cell though we all know some of the woke lunatics would want to know why instead of rejoicing in is death like most sane people would.

I admit Plummer books especially rouges and running dogs that I bought when it first came out did have some sort of interest though not as much as Ted Walshes lurchers and longdogs that was the lurcher man's bible when it first came out back in the day especially with the pic's of lurchers used in other countries that was a world away to a teenager like me with his first lurcher.

A lot of it is down to their customer service mate like has been said it's when any problems arise we had a bad experience on an holiday just after the pandemic sat in Doncaster airport ready to board our flight to Kos and was told by airport staff to go home as the flight was cancelled and to come back tomorrow not one Tui rep was on hand to explain we ended up getting compensation for the cancelled flight though the 400 pound promised of the next holiday in vouchers that you had to use in a limited time in booking another holiday with them never materialised despite numerous calls to them an

Need to spend a bit of money on the house and other bits and bobs so we are leaving it this year. Fancying Croatia again next year though the last place we went to in Croatia Kalamoto island the only hotel is a TUI one so will have to be somewhere different in Croatia.

Even though we have not booked an holiday this year and have always gone with TUI i wouldn't ever book an holiday again with them and a few people i know say the same opting to book with JEt2 who are better.

Can't really think regarding running dogs as most of us when starting out were all of similar age. One man who does stand out and who i have the upmost respect for though he was a terrier man and I am hoping to have a catch up this Sunday with him is Johnny M now in his 70’s. Some of the London lads know him well Reg478728 as a few of his terriers ended up in London. Years ago he had a pet vixen and some London lads came up and stayed with him and the vixen got out of it's pen and he had them all looking for it . think the only complaints they had was his big stone house was cold.
