  1. The queer weather bloke? Which one?That's like saying that annoying female TV presenter, continuity announcer, radio DJ, voiceover on an advert, sports presenter, TV archeologist or weather girl that all sound like they've had elocution lessons from Catherine Tate's Lauren the teenager. Need to be more pacific.
  2. Middle aged men threatening to jump off the Tyne Bridge at 07:30 on a weekday and making everyone else late for work. If they want to top themselves could they not show a little consideration for others and do it the weekend?
  3. That's a shame. I have a few of his books and always found them interesting. Sent off for one once that I had seen advertised and received a very nice hand written letter from the author explaining that there had been a problem with the publisher along my returned cheque and the author stating he would rather that the money was sitting in my account than his until the problem was resolved. Very classy, unlike others who took full subscriptions for working dog magazines that I am still awaiting refunds on 40 years later. Not EDRD I should add.
  4. Are we still allowed to say fairy? Could be offensive to faggots and none inclusive to imps... possibly even gimps.
  5. The skin on the tail coming away would probably be from mange ?... less chance of piss being on the head than the tail though so more method in your madness ?
  6. The bottom one is in English Whippet by Walsh
  7. "she's got skills Ian but went too early and got it all wrong, should have looked along the line, she's no Wallice Simpson Ian"
  8. Wiels disease seems to be bit of lottery. You read about people dying from it who have only been rowing on a river or fishing as has been sadly mentioned here, yet some of us who have been in far more contact with rats and live with ratting dogs never get it. Not yet anyway but only catch the occasional one or two these days. I occasionally need to action things on sites when lads report seeing rats and carry out tool box talks on the dangers. Always feel a bit of an hypocrite as I have done and sometimes still do break all rules and advice that I give.
  9. I used to ferret rats to dogs a lot. Not saying that I ever caught a lot of rats, but like to think that I didn't miss much when using that method, if that makes sense? Ferrets behave differently when hunting rats than they do with rabbits. Once they know what rats are about. An experienced ferret at an inhabited rat hole entrance will often lash its tail. Not like a happy dog but more like an angry cat. They are up for a fight. By the same token, in my experience and I may have been unlucky, eventually they will not be up for the fight and refuse to enter. The only one that I had th
  10. GERMAN! I didn't know she was German FFS! Now it all makes sense.
  11. Is it not every little girls dream to marry the handsome prince, even if it is a ginger one, and live a life with unfathomable wealth and privilege? But the woman is still winging... what chance do the rest of us have of trying to keep one happy?
  12. That's a very sound looking animal. He's not impressed with someone taking a photograph of him though ?
  13. £750 may be a lot of money for what they are and perhaps AA are putting a naughty mark up on it, but... they are very nice things to own and shoot. I treat myself to one a few years ago for a landmark birthday. I didn't need one (does anyone need an air rifle unless involved in professional pest control?) as I already had a few old springers and a more technologically advanced PCP + more powerful stuff. But going back to basics with a beautifully built and designed single shot relatively low powered rifle to stalk rabbits in beautiful surroundings reignited my love of rifle shooting. The
  14. Probably not a correct comment on a working dog forum but the white with symmetrical black ears is a bonny looking terrier.
  15. She could fight for Scottish freedom?
  16. Whatever the circumstances of this young lass and the events behind how she ended up in the position that she is in, is this an example of how the UK is taking back control of our own affairs?
  17. I watched a documentary on snow leopards a few years ago where an expert from the west camped out in leopard country for I think about 12 months to try and capture these rare animals on film. He ended up with about a minute of footage. Then we get appeals on the TV asking for money to protect them form being hunted into extinction by poachers. How come the poachers can find them but the expert naturalist got practically jack shit to show for his efforts after 12 month?
  18. Come on sid g, you can't leave it there. Well you can of course, your prerogative. It's not a working terrier book so no exaggerated tales of super dogs that in reality may have been useless in there. Unless it in regard to the abilities of the terriers owned by John Russell himself but I doubt your that old? The authors unashamedly justify the recognition of pure or crossbred Lakelands so would not have thought that it is in regard to "purity" of breeding. I am intrigued as to what the interesting story is, genuinely... don't leave us hanging man! ?
  19. Seth MacFarlane being the man behind it of course. His "Ted" films are also very good. Mila Kunis being in the 1st one who also voices Meg, a bit ironic as she's such a smoking hot actress.
  20. Came across this when having a clear out at work today. Forgot I had it. A little past the best before date.
  21. I'm having a mare hitting wrong buttons tonight.
  22. Love it. Funny and clever. Most attempts at comedy on TV these days try too hard to be the latter and fail miserably with the former.
  23. that book kind of sums up the future of the Plummer terrier type. Written to justify the reason for KC recognition for a type that had got along very nicely as a working terrier up until then. A lot longer than the Plummer type. They got them registered, closed the gene pool, made shit loads of money.
