  1. One from around that time. An amateur sketch and anatomically appallingly naively drawn but more or less what he looked like. A stamp of terrier that got replaced by prettier types.
  2. If it was going back to a point in time from the present, after placing a few bets in more recent times it would have to be the middle east when Jesus of Nazareth was around and find out what the craic was with all that. Seeing the building of the pyramids and Stonehenge would be interesting. I imagine some things would not have changed, slaves "job's a joke, we'll never get finished on time!", high priests " howay, come on!".
  3. Not that long ago but I'd loved to have been around during the "golden age" of terrier work.
  4. Lab x Standard Poodle bred things are a problem. Stafford types are popular and rarely kick off but still prefer the 1st meeting between my dogs and theirs to be on a lead. Mine always are in those places.
  5. What is happening in these parks? Genuine question. Is where I live not quite as bad as I thought? Idiots with dogs that they cannot control is my only problem in the parks.
  6. Fair play to you WHWT. You obviously have a love of terriers and working them. The pleasure of just owning them and hunting with them has been lost on people i think sometimes. Looking forward to seeing pics of a Dandie being a terrier.
  7. I don't really have a problem with Mike Ashley. He is a very clever man but made a mistake buying NUFC. I honestly believe that he bought the club with good intention of taking it back to the "glory days" of the Kegan era. But his plan never quite worked. He's still here though. Shit ?
  8. This bollocks will change things. A precedence will be set. The anonymous will no longer be untouchable. Heads will roll and people will be sacked. Will be too late for NUFC, probably ....
  9. Back to football, whatever the eventual outcome of this will be too late to effect recruitment. I just hope that Ashley does not cash in on Dubravka and Saint - Maximin, our price assets. Even though it was Dubravka and Andy Carroll who saved games and prevented relegation this season.
  10. What ever happened to the High Level bridge? Closed for repairs but when re-opened deemed unsound for road traffic other than buses ?
  11. The terrier on the right has a real old fashioned look to it. Both nice though.
  12. Reading through the last few pages and the "fear" that a Saudi funded takeover of NUFC will result in them building mosques in the area? They've missed the boat on that one as we've had them for years. There is one within walking distance of St. James'. Are there any urban areas of England mosque free? They have not had any effect on me personally, detrimental or otherwise. It's the greens and "liberals" who seem to want to fix things that aren't broken due to their own beliefs rather than what the people actually want or need. A congestion charge for Newcastle seems inevitable at some point.
  13. It's not all sweet out of pro football though is it chartpolski? I know nothing of the club you mention but a family member of mine has been involved with a boys club for quite some time. Initially because the coach of his lads under 8 team quit and he stepped in to keep the season going. He ended up getting his badges and carried on next season. Long story short he more or less took control and dragged the club up by its ears to where they needed to be in order to survive. He is successful in business and got the necessary sponsorship to improve the basics but also used his gift of patter/bul
  14. I wont pretend to be an expert on world politics and would soon get found out if tried but obviously the Saudis have "room for improvement". But will excluding them from the party help to bring them into the 21st century? It certainly wont make them any worse and they are allegedly trying to develop. From a selfish point of view what good could the takeover do for the north east of England? It may be PR bullshit but apparently Amanda Staveley is looking at the deal from a philanthropist as well as purely business perspective. She not only wants to develop Newcastle United the football club but
  15. Hawks and doves ? The potential buyers took the opportunity to get their "non-refundable" deposit back due to the incompetence and cowardice of those opposing the takeover not making a decision ... possibly? Hawks usually win.
  16. What happened to the two NUFC Saudi take over Topics?
  17. I have only owned 1 but he was as keen and as capable as a terrier regarding using his nose and working cover if needed. He was also clever enough when out with terriers, which was most of the time, to let the little dogs do the hard work and more often than not be in a good position when whatever was being hunted was flushed. A dog that was bred and reared to race took very little work to become a hunting dog.
  18. Is that based on Lord Orford introducing the bulldog of the day into his coursing hounds and that all British and Irish greyhounds go back to his bitch Czarrena? I have read that somewhere but seems implausible. A genuine question.
  19. Why is it always "run to the hills" ? The people living on the hills are in a very good defensive position. I say run to the sea and have a beach party until the drink runs out. Then go for a swim.
  20. I don't know if wearing a mask protects a person from the virus but I cannot see it doing any harm. Hopefully a relatively short term problem that we are all trying to deal with at the moment. Cannot see the problem with putting it on but I'm not surprised by the reluctance of people to wear one. Silica dust, created when drilling or cutting brick, breeze block, concrete etc. has been proved to be hazardous if breathed in. Causes silicosis that was called black lung in coal mining communities not too long ago. This is a proven thing. Give the lads tool box talks, get them face fit tested, give
  21. Just in case anyone does find the name of the terrier above offensive the way that the word has been spelt means the "i" is pronounced as it would be in the name Nigel.
  22. As I was scanning the Gould article for Sid g thought the advert on next page may be of interest, there has also been recent controversy even when it come to names given to black dogs ?
