Orkney is one of the places that I have been looking at on online estate agent sites. Together with most other rural areas in the British Isles, France, Portugal and Spain. Not quite narrowed it down yet , basically anywhere away from the annoying crap (people) and on walking out of the door or looking out of the window to be greeted by a vista that gladdens the soul. One place in Orkney spotted today would suit me down to the ground and well within my budget for slightly early retirement. A tiny school house converted to a domestic dwelling 15 years ago. However the listing states Pur

I've not seen a bespoke pointer worked with a running dog but have seem lurchers and terriers that pointed. Love to watch a terrier quarter ground rough open ground and start to home in ever closer with tail wagging quicker and quicker before coming to an abrupt stop. Very rarely resulting in a catch for the terrier but wonderful to see when the next move is a rush followed by a squeal or a truly wild pheasant snatched before it gets too high off the ground.

Don't mention badgers to the badger "expert" Brian Blessed AKA King of the Hawkmen.

No swapsies. But as I have been saying to people all week, and none of them believed me (in the real world), anything can happen in the FA Cup. On the day the better team won. My other prediction was that Rashford will have a blinder and make Southgate have a re-think at the expense of Gordon. Don't think that quite happened though, but he did up his game today.

We finished above Man U for the 1st time in EPL, not finished above them in top flight since 1977. Then they nick our Europe place (well Chelsea's and they get ours), spawny b#####ds But well done all the same (spawny b#####ds).

All Newcastle need to play in Europe next season is for City to win FA Cup, what could possibly go wrong? As my granda would have said, wye ya bugger man!

He's an odd one but I get what you're saying. Very under estimated as a musician and song writer. The American rap scene found him a source of inspiration, even odder and strange , I like that.

A time when not spotting the Kingfisher along a stretch of water was the exception not the rule...

Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in!

It was indeed. Sometimes when you see and listen to the ones who have been around awhile, even though it is great that they are still going, time has taken its tole. Not on Wednesday, it was watching and listening to musicians who have been very good for a very long time and still have it. The classic old songs tweeked just enough so that they have aged as befitting the man singing them and to those listening.
-
A really good night at the Stadium of Light despite the rain. Only indication that some of these musicians are in their 70's is how skilled they are. I asked my Sunderland season ticket holder best mate why they have a bronze of some old tramp at the ground but he didn't answer.

A good case in point being otters. Any TV programme on otters will tell us that they were almost hunted to extinction in UK before a ban came in. Truth was that the only people who noticed a decline in numbers were otter hunters. The MOHA put a self imposed stop to hunting and brought the otter's predicament to the attention of others. Of course the real reason for the decline was partly due to "liberated" North American mink but mostly to unregulated dumping of crap into our waterway systems.

But, the very fact that they do not live underground is a good thing because when you do inevitably find the bloody things, because there are 1000's of them everywhere now, the fact that they do not live underground is easier to explain. The largest mammal that lived underground when I started out with terriers is now extinct, pit ponies.

I was thinking the same. We have, or had, everything to suites our needs, and we have exported them across the world to suite the needs abroad. But, we have them big wild pigs back here now. So maybe there is a need for something made of the parts that we exported and thought useless to come back and catch these naughty pigs? Jack Russells can manage OK.

Could be worse, they don't live underground.

Those signs used to worry me when 1st travelling for sport. In England it was almost a statement of we know what you want and you cannot have them and crossing the border it was more like we know what you want, help yourself .
-
I see the problem, they need to put up more of those traffic warning signs with the pictures of deer on them, problem solved. Glad I could help. Next.

english bull terrier pics
eastcoast replied to CallumDonohoe's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Victor_84, what's the criac with the Ural Hunter Kennel that you mention, The Fox Terriers. That phenotype of terrier is the product of English show breeding, we never worked a dog of that type. It fascinates me that people in other countries find them capable of work. -
All the religions seem the same as far as I understand it. Really it is just people who believe in something after this life that will result in eternal damnation or an eternity in paradise. This is dependant on how you live your life on earth, basically be cool and cause no harm to others, and keep yourself righteous. They have all f****d up in that respect, probably the Christians more than any others, invading and converting. But the 21s century extremist Muslim is more akin to Nazi Germany, only they are the righteous and none believers are lesser human beings. I blame the parents.

I predict a riot (I know, Kaiser Chiefs not Franz Ferdinand, shame )

Was once Czechoslavakia then they split. Czechs wanted peace and love and capitalism and Slovac's wanted to keep making weapons. According to a Czech ex-girlfriend at the time, that's how she summed it up.

Not in true context with the thread, out of place as just lazily acquired mass produced prints but I like them. I like the artist, Paul Lovering. Got the Marilyn Monroe one today.

How quickly we forget, how quickly we become spoiled and soft. Here's me pissed off that we failed to take even a point away to Man U. Oh for the days when there was no time for football and success or failure in sport was down to me or my dogs. Or when not getting relegated was a win

I haven't followed boxing for years but which one in particular?

Raising a glass, as they say.
