I decided to sell the car i brought for my son to learn to drive in, Advertised it on Facebook marketplace and other sites, Now this is where this begins to start to sound like a racist chant but honestly its not, it is just what happened. I was inundated with replies from eastern Europeans nearly all Romanian, All start with "Best Price" Then move onto to "I come now with xxx" a lower figure. Then get all shirty when you say no, To be honest its been a pain in the arse. Mind i did tell one bloke to come over when he offered a stupid amount. He replied "So you accept" No i said " i just want t

Always remember in very cold weather its only the dead wood that keeps you warm Lol.

Weird sort of Summer this year. Blackberries and Sloes were very early. The wind killed off a lot of leaves that then dropped but the rest are only just starting to turn here. There appears to be a bumper autumn harvest. That is said in folk law to be a sign of a bad winter to come. Don't believe a word of it mind Lol

I think Stephen Hawking may prove some of what you are saying is not correct. Lol

Only lurcher i have ever owned that showed any aggression towards people was a little Bedlington whippet called Jake, Went out one boxing day afternoon with the Mrs and kids and a couple of other family members. Had a gut full of ale and came home to sort the dogs out before they arrived home, anyway i must have left his kennel door open, when they arrived home he was sat at the top of the stairs, i was asleep in bed, the next morning i woke up and i was in bed on my own, i came down stairs and the Mrs 2 kids and 2 family members were asleep in the living room on the furniture and floor, by al

No idea mate, Since the site format was changed a few years ago i can not even see when anyone was last active.

You need therapy old boy Lol

Isn't that the truth and can be applied to most things in life.

A lot of it happens mate, There was a guy on here, I think he was anyway Lol, He was rehabilitating a Golden Eagle chick that had been found injured, He was raided by the RSPCA and police, The bird and others were seized, The eagle chick ended up in one of the so called Wildlife rescue centre's, It died a few months later. Autopsy concluded lead poisoning. It turned out they were feeding it rabbits shot using lead cartridges, Then they tried to blame the bloke they took it from, The world has gone nuts Lol

I have no doubt that's what they were, They were just totally lost with no idea what to do.

I struggle with wearing a watch, when i was younger the digital ones were coming into the market place, The ones with the black screens and when you pressed the button on the side the time glowed up in red. I got one for Christmas by boxing day half the lines that made up the numbers had stopped working, After returning it to the shop and getting replacements a couple of times i gave up with that style, I tried a normal watch, within days the inside of the glass either fogged up or else they just stopped working. Even now the only way i can wear a watch is if the strap goes under the back of t

I kid you not and you could see it had been amputated Lol

you probably wont believe this but years ago my dogs had one with three legs, One of seven in less than a week. all daytime in the same area, The Tawney owls that have been released will just be bullied out by the resident owls, That's if they are even fit enough to catch prey to survive,

I was fishing at a place last week, I was talking to the lady that ran it whilst waiting for my breakfast to be cooked, She was proudly telling me how she had teamed up with some wildlife rescue centre and that they were releasing stuff onto her land, This place is roughly 70 acres with mixed woodland, half a dozen ponds a big lake and the canal also borders it. She was telling me how in the last week they had releases 3 Tawney owls and 2 fox's. i tried to find out if these were truly wild animals that had only spent a short amount of time in captivity, She had no clue, Surely someone would ha

Birds can do weird things mate, I once kept a colony of Zebra finches, The parents would rear there young up to a point then completely abandon them to starve or else they would just build a new nest on top of them and lay a fresh clutch of eggs, I was watching something the other week over about Australia where there was this flock of tens of thousands of parakeet's all flying together, a bit like starlings do over here, Apparently they never fly into each other. The reason being, They only ever turn right when flying in flocks.

A good while ago a couple of shooting lads gained permission on land that bordered the land i had at the time, I met them one day and we were discussing fox`s, I told them that there were two resident dog fox`s in the area and told them how to recognise them. I also explained that it would be helpful if they left these two dog fox`s alone as they both controlled there own territories and kept other dog fox`s away, There had been very few problems with fox`s for years in this area. They shot both in there first week, Next the area was inundated with fox`s trying to take over there territories,

Apparently them Bamboo boxers can solve that problem. watched the advert on TV earlier Lol

For sure the hunting ban opened up a lot of land to shooters who had no chance of getting on there whilst the hunt were running on it. Yes Thermal imaging and night vision scopes have also increased the amount they shoot. But equally the land is being developed at a rate that has never before been seen in this country. Fox`s adapt and as there habitats change so do they. I went out one night around here with Simoman off here, that day the Hunt had been out on neighbouring land, we counted 7 fox`s in one field alone plus god knows how many others that night, There not daft and soon adapt.

There's no better dog in my opinion around a rabbit hole when ferreting than a whippet. Lamping, its horses for courses and depends on the type of land your dogs are running on, All you can do is attempt to improve on the limitations your dog has with breeding, Not easy as genetics are not black and white and i hope they never will be Lol
-
Anyway a bloke is due soon to buy a car, Yes in the dark. I did tell him Lol I'm out of here
-
And we wonder why there's so many disagreement's about whippets, The Irish are terrible Lol

Luna moon. Watch out for the Lunatics Lol

Your over thinking this, just buy the best you can find Lol
