    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?

    Replacing Sir Alex was never be anything other than a poison chalice. Moyes was offered it, he had the balls to take it, and became the 1st fall guy at that club. Who will be the next?

    I was never that impressed with Rafa other than he chose to stay with us because he wanted to, not out of desperation as others did under the previous regime. The embarrassing play not to lose ethos Bruce inherited from Rafa IMO. Very disrespectful to the players. I cannot remember the quote exactly or the context but when once questioned on a few missed chances by Joselu his response was well that's what £5m gets you in the EPL. Talking about the lad who just scored 2 massive goals in the Champions League this week.

    Some nonsense on here. "bulldog" men getting their knickers in a twist at working terriers being regarded as "game" dogs. Akin to a greyhound man getting upset with lurcher lads thinking their dogs are fast. It is the HUNTING Life.

    Remember Tiff Needell, or Tiffany Dell as Jeremy Clarkson used to pronounce it? Drove a NUFC touring car or such like when Sir John Hall was going for the global brand sort of thing. His also said we would field 11 Geordie players in the EPL. All a bit daft but good criac. I think Howe has overtaken Keegan with the number of Geordies on the pitch at the same time this season

    That's great eastcoast, if I get any decent pics of the bull finch will put them up

    I'm no expert eastcoast but tasked a work colleague with looking into this today and something in the 70 - 200mm should suit.

    Whatever people's personal opinions of the Newcastle takeover Howe and his team have done a magnificent job in building a team and Gordon personifies that. It is being acknowledged (begrudgingly?) in regard to Isak and Guimaraes, cannot be ignored as they were brought in for a modest fee, by modern standards, and their values have more than doubled, and money gets people's attention. Howe has done the same with Gordon. A young English player with potential but not too highly rated by most who has been one of the standout players in the EPL this season. He now plays with no fear, same as some o

    People emerging from hibernation and rather than watch another box set decide to take their stir crazy dogs for a walk off the lead, or go for a "run" passing so close by that you can smell their sweat or God forbid get a particle of it splashed on your own skin that burns as though acid, or play out on their bicycles and expect everyone to shift out of the way. My fault, not theirs, I need to move.

    Good evening, I am sure this question will have been asked on here before but I cannot find an example. I have a Canon EOS 400D digital SLR and would like to know what type of lens is most suitable for short range bird photography? My neighbours a few doors down have a "wildlife garden" and I am getting some great overspill at my simple little bird feeders. Most recently a stunning bull finch that I would like to get some decent pics of. I bought my SLR quite a few years ago to photograph my dogs and realise that it is probably ancient technology now and may require a search of the 2nd hand ma

    What he's saying is that we should deport all the darkies, whippets are no good on the slop and that Sunderland AFC are the biggest football club in the world. Also something about king Charles, he's either a paedophile or giant alien lizard. Just the normal craic, seems like a canny lad.

    Fascinating to read other people's view point from another country.

    If Man City win the FA cup then we will be playing in Europe in some shape or form next season, if we achieve the position in the league, which we will.

    Feeding on your own, gruesome but survival of the fittest personified. I read something once that said the reason that we despise rats so much is that they are the animal that most reminds us of ourselves. At the time I discounted it, these days...

    How come?

    I have no problem with the boys and girls in blue being issued with the best possible kit with which to do their jobs, but where are they? It's anarchy on the roads these days with people driving like Mr. McGoo (the original, not our esteemed saluki loving THL member) or characters from a Mad Max movie, but you never see them getting a pull. They did get me last year though clocked at 80mph on A1M at 03:47 in the morning trying to make a 08:00 work meeting a long way from home.

    Getting to today's office involved a drive down to Scarborough so the Cooper S was sparked up and pointed at the moors. A most enjoyable way to start the working day. Needed to stop for a piss though.
