    There was an article about the lad who’s the subject of this thread in my local paper, the Sunday Sun. Just read it. On the next page a write up with pictures of Stowell st. yesterday. The Chinese New Year. Year of the rat! People dancing about in giant rat costumes. Made me smile.

    Hunting a mammal with dogs without permission from landowner I think was the charge. The landowner being a Labour CC.

    The reason I mentioned the Hunting Act was that when it 1st became law 3 lads on Teeside got caught digging rats on council land without permission and were prosecuted. 2 got fined and 1 a 12 month custodial. There was probably more going on with the lad who got 12 month but all got done. In the same court on the same day a house burglar with repeat offences got 12 month suspended.

    Fair comment. The way certain people are predicting the futures of our Planiit it may end up with just us and the rats , and cockroaches of course. And badgers.

    So you think hunting rats with dogs is a bad thing?

    You mentioned RA’s. That’s the kind of thing that they will try and get this lad on. The Hunting Act ? Perhaps I’ve misunderstood it but have all ways tried to adhere to the law ever since an helicopter used to miraculously appear whenever I left the home with terriers,

    The Chronicle, A local newspaper. Local to Newcastle . That’s all I know.

    A mate just sent me something relating to a lad rattling with a Russell in the Newcastle (England) area. He takes his kids with him and allegedly is now being investigated by social services. He could be on a sticky wicket as will not have written permission from landowner (2004 Hunting Act), but still...what have we became as a nation?

    They were readily available at 1 time from the racing lads who for whatever reason would want a 1 re-homed. The ones I saw took to field work like they had been bred and raised for it. Not talking about 100s of rabbits a night or winning bets on the fens, just catching stuff. Always surprised me that such quality animals were available for no money.

    A vastly underrated cross IMO. Would do what most people require without the need to add anything else, even pre-ban. Lovely looking animals also.

    I just looked at the ducks and jumped to a conclusion.

    Based purely on the photo possibly a dash of Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Dog?

    Only you know the dog that you are running and the land that it is being ran on. Carry on lamping and eventually you will know the answer.

    I found this in the spare room today. Not to everyone's taste and obviously an English north east bias but some genuinely funny people on this DVD. Bobby Thompson was one of best IMO. My favourite local comedian was Brendan Healy. I used to help out in a small way putting on fund raising events for a certain charity. Brendan became our go to guy, not just as an act but sometimes comparing. If he had a window in his schedule he would do a gig for nowt, only asking for his expenses to be covered. A true gent and a genuinely funny man.

    Living next door to Indians? That reminds me of one of his jokes ?

    I can understand why people would not want enter terriers in "rock earths" but, paradoxically, the most popular types of working terrier around today were developed, originally, to work in those places.

    No idea about Manning, only met him once. But he was funny. Caroline Aherne, Mrs Merton, perfect example of a clever and funny person. That's all a comedian should be. Some are just clever. Some are just funny. The best of them are both. These days, IMO, they tend to be neither.

    Bernard Manning appeared at our local CIU club mid '90s. The whole PC thing was in full swing. I went along and stood at the bar. Shortly after the main act starting the only black man in the area walked in and took a seat at the back. He also happened to be the biggest and most dangerous man in there that night. A purveyor of rare herbs and prescribed chemicals. Cliché but true. I watched everyone squirm in their seats. Manning started his act, told a few jokes and people laughed, and then came the one. A proper racist joke. No one reacted other than turning their heads to look at the on

    I grew up watching the old school comedians who severed their time and plied their trade in working men clubs. And loved them. The "alternative comedy" was also of my era, a cross generation sort of thing. The Young Ones was a revelation. Alexei Sayle was in it and I loved his single Hello John Got a New Motor. I identified with it, young lads grafting their stones off and making a bit cash and trying to be a bit flash. At the time I thought it was a gentle piss take of people like me. I was wrong. Sayle wrote that song because he despised people like me. He is on record on a TV programm

    The dust jacket on Nathan book by Plummer is different to the one seen advertised now. May increase the value a little? No idea how many were printed though. I borrowed it from the library when it came out. An enjoyable read, maybe the author should have stuck to honest fictional novels? Some nice books for sale here though.

    If I remember correctly ‘are you now or have ever been a practicing homosexual?’ ’what...with these feet?’

    A strange mix of breeds. Not knocking it as I have no knowledge or experience or the inclination to own or mess with a dog bred this way. But how do you know what they will end up like type wise, and more importantly temperament?

    Earlier in this thread mention was made of people's sexual orientation. I have never had a problem with what others get up to as long as it is in private and takes place between consenting adults. Years ago I carried out some research on the practices and habits of the lesbian. I had no problem with the things that I discovered but my girlfriend at the time found it all rather distasteful. Since that time the lesbians that I have met in life seem to be of a different physical stamp to the bonny lasses in those early videos. An example of poor lifestyle choices in modern Britain? Lack of exerci

    Had not seen them before. A great watch. Thank you for putting them up.
