I gave up years ago trying to explain it to people ,not only do you suffer on your own ,but you get labelled miserable ,morose and anti social to boot ,it's a b*****d to live with ,and you have got to try hard not to affect those around you .

Shot six today with the FAC .22 FX crown which I turned down to 11.5 ft/lbs . pic only shows 4 lost two in very thick under growth ,which I could not get to

ive watched a fair few beddy/whippets but just 2 russell/whippets in the 80s belonging to the same lad. Bang on ratters great marking dogs work with nets. Hit cover like little missiles and caught in cover fur/feather .Worked crappy ground disused railway banks waste land back of industrial estates etc.. They did what the lad wanted no great expectations just little mooching/ferreting/vermin dogs.

We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America," Macron told France's Europe 1 radio. America, The Enemy Let that sink in. That's right America is now, in the era of Trump, the enemy. This is how far divorced from reality the EU's socialist leaders have become. And why, on the global political seas, the EU is sinking like a stone. Macron's comments, which came at the tail-end of commemorations of World War I, are beyond insulting. Some 522,000 Americans gave their lives in two World Wars — caused by European folly and political vanity — s

These 2 dogs are with out a doubt the best 2 dogs I’ve had the privilege to hunt along side .they can find old Charlie boy anyway in any cover , and there has been a good few different lads , some off here that have seen them go , anyway age is always a problem , although they hopefully have plenty of years left , they will be hard to replace , my plans for the future are daughter out of Brian n beagle x cocker I will put the black n tan dog over her , any other lads got a breeding programme ??

My bitch at a year old

Not finished yet lol After collecting the previous days bag from a makeshift chiller and those we had Sunday we headed back to home calling in to my game dealer on the way with 13 deer . Kept back two small hinds and the roe for ourselves . Many thanks mate , an outing not to be forgotten in a hurry

Jim finished now, good dog to have around

Before the grey boxes were out the hardest strangest dig I had on my own was when hounds really pushed a fox to ground in a single hole.I started digging and the dogs baying changed but still where I though it was..13 feet later I opened up to a broken doorway into a room with the fox and dog locked together ..It later transformed it was an old army ammunition room ..Hard dig I was knackered.The same place has now a large sett ranging from 5 feet to 17 very well used now..I never ever trenched on in them days its a knack you have either got or havent I still locate before my mate switches his

I think a lot of celebrities use such illnesses as a get of jail card to win back public favour. Tyson Fury went off the rails partying and got caught sniffing coke and used depression as an excuse, same as Mel B, cock hungry coke whore using Domestic Violence. They are just 2 recent examples.

My son is 11 he's autistic and suffers severe anxiety to the fact he doesn't want to leave the house and if he does go even the shops he's looking down isles to see if anyone there but we are trying to get him out little trips but he has panic attacks melt downs nearly being sick but he wants to try but it's just his mindset I know lads with depression not get out of bed for days have zero energy don't even want to wash and just talking to them you relise just how dark that cloud is and how hard it is for them just to do things we take for granted

if you could put depression into some sort of order this is the way id describe it ,,firstly ,theres slight depression ,kind of like an umbrella over them,...when some one gets down in the dumps, ,,they see a doctor,they get a bit of help and a pill or two and after weeks /months they get back to their old self then theres the shawl on their shoulders of fear ,/dread and uncertainty ,,some get through it some dont ,a lot of counselling and meds ... then theres the Manic Depressive ,there covered in a blanket of doom and gloom,the glass is always half empty ,they see no joy whatsoev

A couple white tails I shot the other day. I was hunting a cut bean field adjacent to about a ten acre woodlot and a farm drainage. This is the most active portion of their rut and bucks can show up anywhere-literally. It's a really exiting time to hunt deer. The eight point (4x4) came by chasing a doe passing on my right. I didn't get a shot so I grunted one time and sat tight. He came back around 20 minutes later and stood broadside in the open maybe 30 yards away. I couldn't believe my luck. 180gr. Remington corelok downrange and he dropped in his tracks. Again, I can't believe my luc

not something I'd wish on.my worst enemy if I'm honest......heart breaking to watch someone.you love and respect spiral down into the depths?

Empathy,...that is the key word to understanding the plight of others,...and if you do not have it within ya to comprehend the vagaries of depression (and it comes in many diverse forms)..well, its no problem,..most of us survive,..so just jog on,.. and live your own life.?

I have a whippet x Russell. He is 11 now but in his day was an awesome dog. If I could clone him to get another the same I wouldn't hesitate.

I was shown this vid which kind of made me realise what was happening ... the kind of dog we can all do without..

You are right Fireman,..and only a fool would seek to compare, the blight of acute depression, or even the far more dangerous tightrope life, of a manic depressive,..to the horrors of terminal cancer. I've lost many dear souls to the Big C, so I am well aware of the horrible, nasty, cu*ish disease...?

Sorry ray but youve not a clue what your talking about ,YOU DONT KNOW ONE THING ,,it looks to me you dont know f***ing anything at all ..someone with ''DEPRESSION'' is incapable of fighting it when in the midst of the sickness ,ive lived through it ,saw my parents do everything in their power to get any and every form of help for my sister ,along the way ive met loads of folk suffering from the sickness,i became friends with a 17 year old lad that hung himself from relentless bullying from school mates ,..its not as simple as pulling yerself together and getting on with life ,not with depres

Here’s a selection of some of the visitors to my hide over the past few weeks...

Had a day off today and used both my springers. A Chinese underlever thingy, all £69 worth of it mildly tuned and a trigger job and my little 99s. Made a cracking shot on a 45yarder crow. Plum in the back of the head! The 99s loves these jsb 16grn pellets. The pellet was in the crows brain so I dug it out! Look how little rifling marks there is but they really want to stack themselves on top of each other! The Chinese thingy although low power is amazingly accurate with a good selection of pellets. I used up my last 17 Superdomes plinking and then went hunt

Red and white dog below was half brother to her another great dog died on me got poisoned on me.woul of being some pups if he didn't die.better pic below of bitch on left.

Getting your excuse ready in case ty gets knocked the feck out max. Lol.

Most of it is already in place, tv's computers, mobile phones bank cards we are monitored 24-7 and credit scored anyway.....................been sneaking in under the radar for years with every piece of new technology. even ya dogs are f***ing chipped now lol

He knows ?

you have hit the nail on the head there, don't breed from suspect dogs, how many times on here do we see lads saying what can I put to my bitch to make so and so right in the pups, answer nothing, don't breed.

Just an obliging Robin sat on a step. Cheers Arry

there a vid of pat x (none ped racing whippets ) and these black little dogs were brill ratters and , good on rabbits day/night, and enough guts to pile into foxes if need be , but for the latter me self i out x again to nice mid size greyhound , then you have cracker for any quarry they see. but just for rabbits, rats these little dogs are 1st class, if i wanted little tough lurcher with good coat/skin/ feet a pat x none ped whippet is what i go for .

Thank you. Both litter brothers, 16 month old, top one had a dozen digs, bottom one 15 -16 digs including a 3.5 meter dig. Doing good for there 1st season.

Your dislike for Joshua and Hearn makes you talk some sh!te. ‘Nobodies and has beens’??? Wilder has made a career out of fighting them.., and Fury has one name on his record, and his last two opponents have been a total embarrassment. Joshua’s fought a unification and a mandatory this year.., and against arguably better quality fighters than what Wilder is. Hearn offered Wilder a bigger pay day than he’s ever had or could get in any other fight. He countered with a nonsense offer of money that didn’t exist. If Wilder wanted the fight it was there for him. He didn’t.., and so AJ and Hearn

The only thing I shave M4d is my balls, I'll have a look Shane.

Depression not Rays chosen subject.......you got a bad back then he’s your man

Ray,its clear you have no real understanding of depression,you can take all the meds in the world and it will never sort out the mind of a manic depressive,and you got the patience of a saint ...id be very happy not to have you anywhere near any poor soul with mental issues,you have a very selfish outlook it seems after reading your thoughts ..ive lived with a family member for 50 years with mental health issues,and its horrendous for all the family but 10 times worse for the sufferer

Nice hunting today.plenty of scent and plenty of work.killed one with lurchers and marked two aground.one bolted and the other we left as it was late.see plenty about.

All 4 walls are brick The roof is steel coated sheets I got all the bricks given off a job came out of a chimney breast I've always liked the old common brick The sleeping area are boxes around 4x3 which will be lined with kingspam Then they will have heat lamps The rest of the shed will have a chest freezer for the dog meat

I suffer with depression myself, and it is a bitch to deal with on many days. Sometimes even getting out of bed to face the world is more than hard work. Not going to go into it too much, as there are certain people on here that will NEVER understand it, and due to their own mental ineptitude, would see it as an opportunity to take the piss in some form. I know there are others on this site that also suffer with it, and I'd just like to say 'keep your heads up guys, and keep battling on' ?. f**k all to do with this thread really, just saying like lol ?
