    I may be completely wrong here, but I’m sure someone will correct me but I though it was Duncan that was originally going to be deployed to the Med but it was on trials or on its way to a curtesy visit some where and Dragon was heading north so the MOD changed course, literally, and redeployed it to the Med instead. It’s all been a bit of a farce anyway, as it’s not on station yet and it’s laid up again, with “water issues”. The Type 45 has problems with it’s propulsion system overheating in warm waters and cutting out and the diesel stand by generators arent powerfull enough to take

    It’s just my take on it mate When Starmer said we would board them , I said to friends it would never happen, sure enough he now says it would be illegal . Cheers.

    To be fair , I think Farage was reacting to the fact that a couple of weeks ago Starmer announced on TV that he had given permission for the boarding of “ghost tankers” , then the moment one appears in our waters , Starmer countermands that order and says it would be illegal to do it. Cheers.
  4. I’ve got a video that won’t post on here for some reason, of the pups running around playing, that parti colour looks very forward and assertive. Cheers.
  5. You’re all over the place mate, not making sense You've just said you wouldn’t have another pure saluki , but you’re wanting to put a pure saluki over a bitch you say is near as damn it a saluki Cheers.
  6. Have a word with Max, he knows a bit about breeding runners. He could point you in the right direction Cheers.
  7. Which pal is that ? Hamed ? I haven’t spoken to him for a while. Last time I was there he refused to line an Omani bitch because they couldn’t prove it was pure, he also refused to sell a saluki to a British lad because he wanted to to use it to breed lurchers. Cheers.
  8. Is that the camels toe I can see ? Cheers.
  9. I know the area well, Consett is across the river from me, a lot of it is Lord Lambtons land , especially around the Derwent reservoir , all keepered shoots Cheers.
  10. The Kielder Observatory is great for star watching, very little light pollution Cheers.
  11. Very varied, fells, coastal, arable, woods, heather uplands. Plenty to go at, deer , hares even wild goats. Kielder Forest supposed to have the biggest roe population in the country. White hares on the borders. Plenty reservoirs if you like fishing, or coastal wrecks. The place where Fullerton was bred and schooled is just up the road from me and is still lifting with hares. A lot of it belongs to the Duke and is well keepered but it’s a vast area and sometimes you don’t see anyone for hours. Thats what I like about this country, you can be on all types of l
  12. Just said on the news that the army has been called in to remove the blockers. Cheers.
  13. I thought NATO got involved because the Bosnian Serbs massacred 8.000 Muslims in Srebrinica ? Cheers.
  14. Yeah, Northumberland, I can guarantee it will get plenty of gear put in front of it Cheers.
  15. Mate, I’m talking honestly and genuinely now. You know nothing of the countries, the people, the politics or the history of the Middle East other than snippets you’ve heard. Theres a book , The Seven Pillars Of Wisdom, by T.E. Lawrence, ( Lawrence of Arabia). He tell of the duplicity , the dishonesty , the broken promises of Britain, France and the Arab Kings, Princes and Potentates of the Middle East in the Sykes-Piqot carve up of the Middle East. I recommend you read it as, at least, a start , in understanding the complexities of the Middle East Cheers.
  16. No, it was the spoils of war. Turkey was defeated, it couldn’t be allowed to keep an Empire that might make it powerful again, just like the Hapsburg Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. Why would Britain and France deliberately want to cause problems for themselves. War in the Middle East isn’t something new, the Arab tribes were fighting each other for millennia before the Ottoman Empire or when Britain and France took over. Why do you allways end a question with “LOL “ ? I’ll try to answer your questions as best I can , but I get the impression you are allways trying to trip peopl
  17. Where to start ? The Persians invading Greece? Or more recent; Japan invading Manchuria,(China) and Korea, not to mention Pearl Harbour, ( I think Trump may have mentioned it). Or China invading Tibet. Or Viet Nam invading Cambodia My point was it’s not just “the West” that invaded other countries, it’s just that since the Middle Ages “the west” has advanced so much more than the rest of the world, we saw an opportunity to gain empires and riches and took it with both hands. Threres an ebb and flow, it wasn’t so long ago we were bullying. China…..not so much n
  18. You’re talking in absolutes again How about the Arabs invading Europe and setting up a Caliphate in what is now Spain and Portugal ? Or the Mongols invading Europe and getting as far as Hungary ? while the “west” has been, by and large, superior, it hasn’t always been one way traffic Cheers.
  19. Which is exactly why I and others are not overjoyed at almost all our net zero technology and hardware is supplied by China and chinese electric vehicles are flooding the market Cheers.
  20. Where do you think we get our F35’s from ? Are you seriously suggesting that a country of five million people can produce every part of their military needs ? The UK has 70 odd million people and still relies on other countries technologies. Russia gets technology and equipment from China, Iran, North Korea, I doubt there’s a country in the world that doesn’t import technology. China does it by reverse engineering, but no country with a modern military is self sufficient in technology. Saudi is almost totally reliant on imported technologies, why should isreal be any di
