Didn't he once say he knew a man who used to kill rats with his bare teeth?

There's a fella who kept black dogs who was on a few old plummer terrier pack videos who used to bite rats to death to show off,he had rats tattoo'd on his hands where some folk have swallows..

I got my copy of rat hunting man from one of those bookshops where any book was £1 and I've still got it to this day.

I like the bit on the Caithness documentary where he is saying about the dangers of Weils disease from rats, and the interviewer asks him if he knows anyone that's died from it, after an awkward silence he says 'Yes, 3 close friends, can tell from the look on his face he doesn't even believe the lie he's telling himself. Gave me a chuckle.

The man was indeed,..  a stranger to the truth

And scabs and boils on his face where some folk have lips.

I was obsessed with rats after that book, even travelled to India to the rat temple in deshnok, I wonder how or what paths our lives would have taken had we not been influenced by Mr P in whatever way.

Bought all his books in my teens very inspiring back then. Looking at his videos now though he really does seem a daft sod

[mackay 3,044]

As an easy quick generalisation, for all his faults I'd say he did way more good than harm.

I liked the bloke and found his books entertaining I think I may of been very disappointed if I ever met him though

I watched the documentary, lol what an egotistical con man.. ive never read or even heard of him or his books until about 10 years ago,  and im working terriers 30 years.. it is clear from that documentary he was making SHIT up as he went along.. lol anyone can see that that fox was dropped in that hole it wasnt even a foot in ffs the dog stuck its head in and got rattled..it was also obvious he wasnt sure of handling live foxes...lmao that clip of him judging a show..what a sap. It also looked as he was feared of the dark he walked about with lamp on the whole time on a full moon ffs where any men who is used to lamping could walk in the moon light...what a prick of a man and the old gypsy who said his da would sleep way the pups for a week to decide which one to pick...and folk on here are saying that he got them into hunting...well if I were yous Id forget every single  word that goose would have said.

I forgot to mention the Gypsy saying his Dad would sleep with his pup for a week lol. More like he went on a bender for a week and returned with a pup and that was his feeble excuse lmao.

Just think if you hadn't met him you might not have became a jet setting international playboy.
