This is how it shows on a laptop or Chrome book, different on a phone.

Oddly enough I was talking to the lad who owned her at a funeral recently after not seeing him for many years. The bitch was a rescue, as people would say today, if memory serves he was doing some work at a cat and dog shelter and she came in. Didn't get claimed and so he took a punt. About 6 - 8 months old. Turned out to be a very good punt. He was pleased that I kept some pictures of her. Anyway, something I had not known, he took her along to a show when she was an old dog and a lad approached him and said that she had been his dog. She had a very distinctive look. No nastiness, his ki

Loved Hawick. Learned an important lesson on this farm. The sheep would sit tight out of the wind and jump up and run infront of the dogs. Learned that there is a difference between broken to sheep and bombproof. The terrier and lurcher in the pictures were 100%, another 1 was not. Another lesson learned, keep your hard earned permission to yourself!

Rabbits, terriers, and whippets bounce, big stupid stupid clever lurchers get themselves killed.

A few places, but most notably a particular place in Hawick, Scottish border, rabbits bolted by ferrets would use the sheep tracks but when under pressure would just drop down the hills. Shit or bust. My lurcher owning friends did not like it, my terriers loved it. All of a sudden they were travelling at 30/40 MPH and keeping up with a rabbit.

Form and function over closed gene pool and breed "standards".

It could be worse, it could be snowing. Imagine shovelling snow in this heat?

Imagine how massive that would be, a Newcastle player with both Geordie and Saudi heritage? No matter what, already such an achievement for the lad to be part of the PSG machine.

The Banshees of Inisherin: been meaning to watch for awhile, staring Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell, directed by Martin McDonagh, the 3 made In Bruges, 1 of my favourite films. Didn't work for me. The jokes were funny. But the depressing reality was too depressing. Boredom, isolation, and loneliness. None of the characters were nice, other than the sister Siobhan, dark comedy needs some sympathy for the tragic people, did not get that. At the end was happy enough for them all to chop their fingers off or jump into the lake.

I've posted some rubbish photos of birds on here and this must be the worst, but for a reason. Some type of gull and thinking Herring. One of our jobs is nearing completion and the site compound got relocated to the next phase of works across the road. Some daft sea gull had built a nest on the ground. We've had problems and delays with pigeons nesting so it has been cordoned off. 2 chicks hatched today and wanted to photograph them but problem is her mate is on guard duty and attacks. I'm not scared of his attacks as he veers off before making contact but does sometimes shit on you. I was hea

Are you sure it's a Wood Pigeon? Looks like one of the new species that I thought I had discovered a few month ago.

War is the mid-wife of reform ... just popped into my head, the only thing that a history teacher at school who hated me said that has stuck with me.

I would draw to the attention of the jury that those tie wraps in the photographs have been used and cut off, most probably by a strip out crew or cable thieves, ipso facto not generated waste from an electrical installation.

A great song, but Shane himself did write a darker more poignant song IMO, the Dunes, the Great Hunger possibly being a better term than the Famine. People starved to death cannot be denied no matter the political evil behind it or not.

Note to self: the next "love job" that involves removing skirting and putting right the previous lazy spark's work removing surface sockets and flushing into wall... call in favours from plumber friends to take rads off the wall and collar an apprentice from work to chase for the back boxes.

I grew up not far away and car theft was the entry level/apprenticeship. I always found the Ghia interia thing quite poetic justice. Steal a posh Ford, strip the interior, sell it to a lad who could not afford the top spec but was posh (had a job and legally owned a car), wait until he pays someone to install it, then steal it back and sell again. The gift that kept on giving. Then ram raiding happened. Hard to imagine now, you could drive a Transit and Land Rover into a shopping mall and straight through Curries window. Zero mechanical protection to stop it happening. Not me, I was neve

I do try to listen to new music but most of it these days is self indulgent miserable derge about failed romantic relationships. Is that all people have in their lives? Enjoying Counting Crows Butter Miracle, stand out song Spaceman in Tulsa.

I suppose another way of saying that is many of us would not be English if not for the famine? Me personally, if thinking of my own lineage as a dog's pedigree, obvious know Irish outcross over the years but the foundation stock remained a mystery and all we really had to go on was a surname. Repeated attempts by a few only managed to get so far back before hitting a wall. The missing part of the jigsaw was discovered almost by accident by a gentleman who helps people of Irish lineage trace their ancestry. On an unrelated search he remembered us when going through records of a workhouse in Gl

Way off topic but hammer and chisel related. Been off the tools for years but you never get off. Phone call from sister yesterday who has recently moved "I'm getting new flooring and skirting boards next week, any chance you could take the old ones off and flush the sockets into the wall" "no problem, I'll bring my magic wand". Joy of joys, breeze block not brick, bollocks, they have frogs in them!

Seen that. Terrier men who dug only badger, not law breakers or the sort who regard prison as an occupational hazard, had no choice but to pack in. Something that was once legal became illegal.

Rabbiting season ?
eastcoast replied to Tariff2's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
Interesting AW. Is that your personal taste, I've never found rabbit that nice apart from being free meat, but many did, and some still do in the British Isles before we became islands of hypocritical animal lovers ( cannot eat a lovely bunny but don't give a damn about how the cheap pig and poultry products are produced). My question/interest, do your rabbits taste like shit because of the fauna that they eat in your country? -

Be aware, I have been trained in having an argument today, but please elaborate.
