Is there any recorded evidence of 1 of these things taking a human being? As they seem to be frequenting north east of England coast some lucky Geordie may get into the history books. Won't be me though.

So you're thinking people are impulse buying to relieve the bordem or appease the kids? Interesting point. Haven't seen so many people walking dogs or so much dog shit around than there is at the moment. Where did these people "exercise " their dogs before this started? I'm thinking that did not walk them and their unfortunate pets just shit in the house or garden. A negative thing to say and of course people are finding these changes to their lives difficult to deal with but a local farmer has ploughed 2 fields of growing barley in an attempt to deter the zombies from tramping over the more p

It has gone crazy on dog for sale sites since the present situation started. I do often look on these sites, not that I'm after a dog just probably a bit weird. I like looking at dog for sale adverts dating back to Exchange and Mart days. Prices have doubled and tripled in the last few weeks. There was a very ordinary looking adult Russell bitch with no mention of work on P4homes yesterday for £1,200. Not on today so may have been sold? Today a litter of Russell pups £1,600, not KC. Crazy money for any dogs , insane money for ordinary pet dogs.

Seems like a legitimate question to me. Is adding other blood to greyhounds and whippets in order to produce something more robust than the pure sighthound not one of the fundamental reasons for creating lurchers in 1st place?

One worth getting in the present for the future for a person who has somewhere to store one is the Alfa Brera I think. The only car that I wanted and could afford but never got around to buying. Came close twice. 1st time test drove one and a Mazda RX8 but the Mazda won hands down. The next time was a choice between the Alfa and Mk2 Audi TT, once again the Alfa lost out. The reason being, apart from build quality issues is that they handle like a canal boat. The reason that I have always wanted one is that in my opinion they are one of the best looking cars ever made. I could not live wi

A camel hair coat, trilby and start referring to the missus as 'er indoors ?

I have had this one since bought new in '80s. .22 with carbine barrel. Cost £99.99, I remember the price because my budget was £100 and a retailer in AW was doing a sleight discount on them and it came with the sling swivels fitted. It has been retired for many years now but was a very capable hunting rifle with enough power and accuracy for day and night time rabbit shooting. Was only retired after a PCP was obtained about 10 years later. I was not aware that it was a direct copy of the Anschutz but certainly influenced by the German guns. At the time PCPs were a very expensive rarity, r

Please see attached probably the worst wildlife photographs that you are ever likely to see. They are of a kestrel. The dot in the sky is the subject being photographed. Seen it today on land that I have walked for 40 odd year. At one time they were so common that would not have warranted a second glance even though I have never been able to walk past one hovering without standing and admiring and hoping that it would drop and raise back up with a mouse or vole. Haven't seen one on this land for a few years. I do see buzzards now which never existed on this land, during my time, until abo

Read this again today. I was forced to read it the 1st time as it was on English syllabus at school. I would liked to have read it before everyone thought it was a masterpiece in the same way that I would liked to have listened to the Beatles before everyone thought that they were great. Never really got the Beatles even though I've tried listening to them. Read 1984 once again today and did not really enjoy it, even though I get it.

Bedlington cross or working Sealyham Daniel cain?

I think none but the most naive or optimist of Newcastle supporters are expecting established and proven world class players being signed in the period between this season ending and the next one starting whenever that may be. But, if the club is sold to the people that the media are having us believe then those type of players will be signed by NUFC. If not then the buyers will have been proved to be fools or Ashley has proved to be a genius.Ashley is most certainly not a fool but are the new buyers fools? It will take time but not too much time. Four seasons at the most before they are

A cheeky request, and the answer will probably be F O and not Foreign Office but...any picture of one of these dogs? Cheeky request but it is an internet forum that you have commented on so not that such an unexpected request?

Ignore...too much red wine, don't know how to delete.

Modern KC lumps trying to catch rats or proper working Sealyham type terriers?
-
It was 1 of Plummer's claims. Don't think he achieved it, but then again we do have the Lucas terrier ?
-
If this deal goes through, and there is still plenty of time for Ashley to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory, and if I ignore the takeover from a moral and ethical point of view regarding Saudi human rights record (and I am), I would not welcome the sacking of Steve Bruce. From and ethical and moral point of view but also potentially from a football point of view. I was pissed off when Benitez left. I thought that he was good fit for the club. I had no opinion one way or the other on Bruce other than liking him when he played and have never seen a manager appearing so shell shocked

Re-read this today. Devastating weapons, the people not the tools. Took European top brass a long time to accept that a lowly but skilled soldier with a brain and balls could be more effective than rank and file controlled by an officer.

A friend of mine bred a 1st cross of this type many years ago. He bought a young adult Bedlington simply because he had always wanted one. It was KC with Gutchcommon blood (weren't they all?) and the prefix Foggyfurze rings a bell. It sired a litter over a smooth coated black terrier that he also owned at the time. The bitch was from Nuttall lines (aren't they all?). It was not to create an improved type of Bedlington or improve the terriers that he had and may have been an accidental mating. I cannot remember exactly. The Beddlngton sire was a very nice dog that I liked. A poor coat and

I would hazard a guess at working terrier to working terrier? Funny how most of the ones supposedly bred that way are a lot prettier these days. Maybe a bit of bull blood could smarten them up? Sorry for tagging this on your post foxdropper, no offence intended. -
I agree with the comments on Sopranos. Used to try and watch it "live" when 1st broadcast on C4 but they kept changing the time, ranging from 10pm to midnight. I think it depended on how many times the C word was used ? Ended up getting box sets on VHS, my God that makes me feel old.

Just re-read this. A lot of the actions taken during that period formed the world that we are living in today, some of the fires lit are still burning. A good read though if you like military history.

It is just something that I have noticed with several KC breeds once they become very popular with pet owners or peddlers. They don't selectively breed for the unnatural show points that came about due to poorly drafted or misinterpreted breed standards and 'accidentally ' start producing animals closer to the original within several generations. Seen it with Staffords and also probably why some lines of Fox Terriers (not pet breeders or peddlers) on mainland Europe are not as 'freakish 'as the ones that show people continue to breed. Probably got way too much time on my hands at t
