    Not cleaning the pipes before reopening after lockdown? I would take it back mate and swap it for a bottle.

    I recieved the last issue yesterday. On the 1st page DH made it a priority and went into great detail explaining how any outstanding money from subs will be refunded. Only right and proper of course. But right and proper tends to be the exception rather than the rule these days.

    I don't think that the genetic make up of a dog with mixed breeding can be calculated by maths. On paper yes, in theory but in reality no. Once the breeds are crossed and then crossed again the percentages that each parent has of the base breed and what percentage each of the pups will have in their genetic make up is not predictable or measurable. The physical appearance or behaviour of the dog may suggest otherwise but it is no true indication of its genetic make up. If you outcross once and only once then breed back only to the one breed then that is different. Eventually you have what what

    Another thing gone. It will be a cause of celebration for those that hate us and are working to end us. RIP Earth Dog - Running Dog and thank you Mr. Harcombe for your efforts for so many years.

    I don't think that c02 is a viable power source. Too many variables that effect the speed of the projectile and that makes it more difficult for the person using the gun to identify their own flaws. The tool needs to be as near as damn it perfect for the user to have any chance of improving.

    Spring powered not C02 but I would recommend this. Not something that I would have purchased but a lad at work bought it new and when his lass found out he had to to get rid. As accurate as the person using it but a very useful gun to have when walking the dogs and out after ferret food or the occasional very close range opportunist rabbit kill. I don't have the skills to use it on live quarry now but did at the time. It came with the pistol scope but never mastered the technique of using one on an hand gun.

    NUFC 0 - 2 MUFC . An humiliating defeat. Humiliating because the home side were forced play like cowards in the 1st half. They are not cowards but their manager forced them to appear so. I have defended Bruce in the past but today he lost any respect that I had for him. Would rather lose 0 - 10 but go down fighting!

    At present NUFC have 4 local born lads who were named in the 23 man squad before things went mad with the pandemic shit. They all played this season. The present manager is a local lad.

    Good advice (?) but, clean as you go. Workplace, kennels or the house that you live in. Good housekeeping keeps a man sane. Or compromise some of your freedom and sanity and allow a woman to move in. l'm not quite there yet but the older that I get the more that question decisions made in the past.

    It's a knock out competition, winner takes it all until next game. As a Newcastle supporter I was hoping Norwich would win ?

    I would first familiarise yourself with the Hunting Act 2004 if your based in the UK.

    From the photographs they look like nice healthy animals. Terriers are great dogs to have.

    The indigenous people celebrating their own culture... is there not a risk that some could find it offensive or feel excluded?

    I've watched a few of the games with recorded crowd noises. If any racial abuse from the crowd is heard then we really do have a big deep rooted problem.

    So highly improbable. However, was the 1st litter of great Irish hounds not out of the giant Finbar McCool"s aunt who was lined during her temporary transformation into a dog? Anything was possible in ancient Ireland.
  16. eastcoast
    If the huge Irish hounds did exist was the massive size desirable in hounds possibly used in pursuit of the Irish elk rather than the wolf?
  17. eastcoast
    Not the last wild wolf surely? ?

    I was just being an arse by pointing out the obvious regarding the origin of the modern KC Irish Wolfhound. I have never owned one or even seen one worked. Those who have done both have the opinions that matter.

    Thanks Arry. It looked like a stoat taking a rabbit at 1st but there was only going to be one outcome. I'm not a big fan of spiders and find it difficult to see the beauty in them...but, they are good at what they have evolved to do.

    There is Great Dane blood in the modern KC Irish Wolfhound. Basically someone crossed deerhounds with German mastiffs/boarhounds (Great Danes) in his attempt to recreate the extinct Irish wolfhound. The daft thing is the Scottish deerhound at the time was probably the same ancient celtic hound that the Irish used to hunt wolves.

    Having far too much time on my hands at the moment whilst siting doing nothing and enjoying how peaceful and quiet everything is at present I noticed a life or death struggle going on in miniature at my feet. It may be difficult to tell from the pics but a spider, I think a jumping spider (have seen it jump) in a struggle with a moth. My knowledge of insects and arachnids is poor and would appreciate if someone could ID the species. It seemed like a battle at 1st. The spider had a hold and moth was in no way incapacitated but then became apparent that the spider's grip was a good one and

    Would it be fair to say that the EBT in Oz are a different prospect as a potential base for producing a lurcher than the dogs that we have in UK and Ireland? Always thought them to be an odd but interesting breed. A failed experiment or successful money spinner by the original breeder? A bit like adding water to whiskey in an attempt to create a superior type of whiskey but became popular and found a purpose in the old colonies more than at home.

    I just think that stripping a rough coated dog is a better way of managing its coat through out its life rather than clipping it. And yes, they do look smarter when stripped but are also left with more protection against the weather/temperature drop during our "summer" time. Not all rough coated terriers have a coat that can be stripped of course.
  24. eastcoast
    Nice looking dogs but look like they've been shaved? Worth taking the time to hand strip if possible.

    I never went to that show Morton. Sounds like I should have done. Happy days.
