    I’m a bit of a stoic and a fatalist mate, so life has to go on. We are lucky to have a grandson who appears to be turning out to be somewhat of a child prodigy and is unashamedly spoilt rotten by us and his Saudi family, but he is pretty grounded. Ive no experience of the modern state school system , both my children were privately educated as is our grandson , so I can’t really give any advice on the subject Cheers.

    Ah, OK, these threads do tend to meander So I’ll just repeat what I said earlier. I don’t think I have the academic ability or patience for home schooling.. Cheers.

    I thought that was what the discussion was about ? Cheers.

    I have absolutely no experience or knowledge of autism, so best to adopt the maxim of “say nothing and let people assume I’m stupid, rather than speak and confirm it”. I lost both my children to cancer, so I know the heartache children can bring. I wish Bendigo all the best with his son, that’s about all the input I can give Cheers.

    How dare you question his credentials? He is a sage, a seer, a savant ! He sits atop his very own mount Olympus and hands down wisdom like a modern Buddha or Zeus He doesn’t need to explain; he simply says, and it is ! So sit back and look on in wonder at this latter day prophet Cheers.

    Just my view, but a pipe line from the gulf through Isreal to the Mediterranean and Europe makes perfect sense ! Quicker , easier and cheaper than the alternatives. Currently, oil from the gulf goes across Saudi to the Red Sea then onto ships and either north through the Suez Canal, with the SCA charging huge transit fees, or south through the Bab Al Mendab, a dangerous “pinch point”, round the Horn of Africa,, where ships are prey to Somali pirates and incur huge insurance premiums, then round the Cape meaning travelling far further and costing more. We are seeng the problem wi

    Gunter, the big man just rang me, he said “ Richie , I’ve got your dog in my kennel” ! I ran out to the yard and checked my kennels and all was OK. He said sorry mate , I’ve rung the wrong number ! Nearly gave me a heart attack ! Shouldn’t do that to an old man Cheers.

    OK, you like a straight back leg, I like a well sprung hock. Any picture you put up , I can put another One of the fastest non/ped whippets ever; Look at the “”spring “ in those back legs, explosive acceleration, yet you continue to say your saluki types would beat these ove a sprint distance ? Lets agree to disagree and leave it at that Cheers.

    That’s over exaggerated in a show saluki. You said you liked the back leg conformation of the saluki I owned, but anyone can see it’s far too straight, no “spring” in it whatsoever. Don’t be moving the goalposts now Cheers.

    Yeah, I’m sorry mate, thinking about it after I replied I thought you might of meant the pure saluki , not the pure whippet My mistake I had that particular saluki in Saudi from a 6 month old pup till he was 17 , he was a great dog to own, killed the odd hare we occasionally came across and would kill pariah dogs, but he had back legs like a clockwork tin soldier Absolutely no curvature from hip, stifle, hock . Not what I want to see in a running dog Cheers.

    This deer x bitch I’ve got kicks back after every shit or piss , and pisses like a dog ! But she will also stand and cock her tail to any dog, any time of the year! Cheers.

    I have a penchant for a Moscow Mule, but it must be served in a copper goblet Cheers.

    It’s just the way it’s standing on a bitter cold and rainy day, the best pic I could get. It was killing hares in Ireland before it came over here Cheers.

    Phil Lloyd, RIP, said to me that bitch in the last pic had perfect hocks, but of course I knew that, she belonged to me A running dog gets its acceleration, initial burst of speed from its “well sprung “ hocks. A saluki is a marathon runner, not a sprinter, it’s like Mo Farrah v Usain Bolt Cheers.

    This is the way a hock should be; well , that’s my opinion anyway Cheers.
  20. chartpolski
    To straight in the hock for me. Yes, I know you like a straight leg but I believe they need a “spring” in their hock. Nothing wrong with its toes. Cheers.

    Yeah, I’ve been around a few Arab dogs, falcons and horses, it’s an experience; Cheers.

    That’s what Sheik Mansour the ruler of Dubai paid for it from Germany. Doesnt mean it’s worth it but I doubt he worries about money Cheers.
  24. chartpolski
    $100,000 worth of falcon belonging to Sheik Mansour and in Hamad Ghunaims mews; Cheers.
