The generic street mongrel? Usually described as lab x collie or lab x Alsation, even though there were very few pure collies, labs or GSD's about Still made good hunting dogs though for kids with nothing else to use. 1 of the best old fashioned type find and catch lurchers that I've known was result of a mate putting 1 of "our" black collie mongrels over 1 of his dad's non-ped whippets. He was the perfect dog to find game in places that game had no right to still be existing and knew not to rely on speed to catch it. If it was there, he'd find it, and often catch it.

Bad form by some Crystal Palace fans not respecting the minutes silence for Diogo Jota and his brother at the Community Shield today. Quite rightly pointed out and criticised by the pundits on TNT Sport. However 5 minutes before that no mention whatsoever was made of very vocal Liverpool fans clearly booing of our national anthem! So that's considered acceptable these days?

I will never fully understand people adding water to whiskey and expecting a better whiskey.

£229.00 at Curry's yesterday. Had done bit of online search last week and could have got slightly cheaper but an impulse buy when walking past the shop. Was worth it to take the young salesman apart in front a big queue when he was desperately trying to sell me extended insurance. When he said "once you take it out of the box you are not covered" a more experienced colleague intervened and gave me £29.00 off for cash sale to get rid of me.

Most people seem to have 1 of these so I'm a bit late to the party but got 1 yesterday. Mostly cook for 1 these days and getting a bit lazy, fresh veg = too many pots and cleaning etc. Chips tend to be oven ready, a blasphemous thing to say on here I know. Purchased to give the home made chips thing a try as can no longer be bothered with deep fryer and chucked the chip pan out years ago due to H&S. Fresh veg without all the pans would be a bonus. Tried air frying sausages yesterday, good quality sausages. They were definitely cooked and edible but without the lovely sausaginess that

There was not a banksman before the incident. A functional working environment that had a traffic management plan in place. That failed. Now they have banksmen, for the duration of our works anyway.

Something to have a laugh at, particularly from the the lads who believe that they are crucified by H&S in construction in the UK. Behold, this is what some of my lads need to wear on one of our jobs. Long story short, some idiot drove his machine into electrical containment. I would get sacked if too much information was given so keeping it brief. After a month of back and forth, due to the location and function of the location it was agreed to carry out the work. My previso? Full arc flash PPE must be worn. I have carried out similar work many times over the years. The fa

Terrier men to the rescue!!

Great job! An "inactive badger set", no such thing at one time. Is common sense a thing again? No matter, well done to the lads with the real knowledge and skills. -
RADAR and the RAF. They were the most important walls that he built around his family home.

With all due respect it's the usual summer pantomime season. Probably, but, no smoke without fire. What has Iask said, who did he say it to, and when did he say it? Many "journalists" are paying their utility bills this summer by repeating hearsay but if anyone had any actual proof then they would have cashed it in and and covered their winter bills. But no one has. Missing Glasgow, and the current pre-season? I believe that this is the club, driven by Eddie Howe, protecting the kid from all this nonsense and letting him get his head together for the new season wearing the black and white

Of course. Wealthy Arabs own NUFC, and they like the bonniest marbles.

I didn't know that Isak had the recorded strongest shot in the EPL, that's why it's always worth logging on here. If that's true, and he kicks weaker than a girl? f**k him, let Liverpool have him.

Before the books came out and people started to believe what they read , became amateur geneticists and started to try and re-invent the wheel. Not knocking the modern dogs, but the lurcher x lurcher type did/does catch stuff even if being of pedigree unknown. Not a lurcher man though so just my relatively uneducated opinion.

I made a point of watching the game. This was after spending a very enjoyable Saturday afternoon in the company of one of my nieces and her friends, most of whom are very good footballers. I've never enjoyed watching the professional women's game or more importantly understanding their demands for equality when it comes to wages and recognition in the world of football. There was good give and take banter. But it dawned on me that perhaps I am prejudiced and even misogynistic without realising? So watched the match. It was OK. Then came the penalties. I posted on their WhatsApp group:

Stuck in the memory that it was an unusual cross. Foxhound not EBT, my mistake. Nice looking thing though.
-
If memory serves correctly Rebecca was EBT x greyhound? Very racy for a 1st cross.

Only owned one whippet and always used to answer the question "do you race him?" with "tried once but he's fast as f**k so never tried again", I had cringe worthy dad joke humour even as a teenager. It amuses me if no one else. On the bucket list, own another whippet. I may even race it.

What happens in Bradford stays in Bradford.

I'm not familiar with that term but assume you're asking did I make love to her? Unfortunately not but later on in the day turned out her far less attractive mate was gagging for it, so not a complete waste of time. And got a nice picture of a lurcher.

I've always thought that Tidline books provided a great service to us common hunting lads. Reprinting some books that at one time would only be available to those who could afford a 1st edition, even if one could be found for sale in days before tintnet.
-
I borrowed Rebecca from the library many years ago but do not own it. The fact that I do not own the book would suggest that none of the lads from my estate stole it from the library. I believe the lurcher in this postcard is Rebecca. Found it in an art gallery in Bradford and bought on the quiet during a day spent trying to impress a girl who was a LACS supporting art student. Happy days.

I used this to sign into a new site I've found, Romanian Girl Gardeners XXX, worked a treat.

A sad topic but illustrated with beautiful pictures. Seeing your Gypsy from a pup, developing into an adult and then into dotage, with a loving bairn growing with her throughout the years. Very poignant.
