    I’ve allways been a stickler for being on time, even now I’m retired , but sometimes if it’s just me and the dogs, I go to “Beduin Time” and disappear off the grid for a while. Cheers.

    A true story, I was shift manager on an airport and just before the shift ended one of the workers radios me and asked to be picked up. There was a Philipino sitting in my office waiting for the next shift to start and I asked him to go and pick the lad up. He said his shift doesn’t start for another ten minutes , so no, he wouldn’t go. I went myself but I knew I wouldn’t forget him not giving me 10 minutes of his time. Some time later he was on the night shift with me and I caught him sleeping on the job. I sacked him immediately, his pals begged me to give him

    “No got the time” isn’t done because they can’t be bothered to turn up on time , it’s a decision made by an overworked NHS. They let you know and schedule a new appointment, they don’t just let you turn up and say to you “the doctor can’t be bothered to be on time today” . unless they are faced with an unexpected emergency….like someone having a heart attack, they will strive to keep appointments or re-schedule. Cheers.

    I was going to ask him if he just turns up when he feels like it for his doctor and hospital appointments or if he would be happy for his heart surgeon to say, “ ah f**k it, I’ll not bother doing that operation on time, I’ll do it later….”. Cheers.

    Did he work for BAE ? I got to know a lot of lads from there during my time with the Royal Saudi Airforce and Saudia. They were the only civilians to be awarded the Gulf war Medal if they stayed in post during the Gulf Wars.. We got double pay Cheers.

    “ Good speed and mouth like a pure saluki “ ? Behave yourself , I’m not biting Cheers.

    I was out with him a few times, a top lad. I remember him slipping on a lamped rabbit in November which turned out to be a leveret ! Cheers.

    That’s got me thinking “what if ?”. What if Paul , ( Lamp & Battery) , had kept the bitch ? I doubt it would have been in the Forley, more likely it would have been running Northumberland along with my bitch Delta and LDR’s Bruce the Rescue Dog ! I wonder how many dogs or bitches were just out there with ordinary lads , doing there jobs, that would have won these big competitions in different hands ? Cheers.

    The Saudis are terrible, they have no concept of time. When my daughter in law is here she still thinks she’s on Saudi time where they go shopping at 11 o’clock at night. I go as soon as the shops open in the morning, get it over with and have the rest of the day doing important things like being out with the dogs or being at the allotment Cheers.

    No, it’s till going , but very quiet. A shame , it was a great site but, in my opinion, Carreg let Whin spin his poison far to long before he was banned. The damage had been done and lots of genuine lads left. Cheers.

    No, I’m actually an uninterested bystander as I doubt any of the summer rhetoric will transpire into winter reality Cheers.

    To anyone thinking of voting “Green” next week; Zac Polanski, the Leader of the Green Party has re-tweeted a tweet saying that the police who took down the Somali maniac who had just stabbed two innocent members of the public , and was coming at the police with a knife in his hand, acted “with undue force “ !!!! My personal opinion is that the police should have kept kicking him until he was in a vegative state and the knife dropped from his hand and he was no longer a threat , and they should be commended for their bravery . Cheers.

    I wish Google had been available when I was still in formal education , I’d have been a Professor by now We weren’t allowed anything in the exam room with us, all formulae, equations snd mathematics had to be shown in the papers margins. Later on , we were allowed a slide rule, I doubt many today could use one, or a mechanical , not a digital , micrometer ! Yes; Google truly is “ our friend “ Cheers.

    I’m definitely a compulsive obsessive when it comes to being on time for meetings, appointments, etc ! I think it is just common courtesy and a sure sign that you are reliable. Just yesterday my missus had an appointment I was taking her to, the appointment was at 9:30 and at 9:10 I said “ come on , let’s go “. She said “ there’s plenty time”, so I said ok, get a taxi or the bus, because I’m not going to be a party to you being late. She had a “ face on” but got in the car. We got there at 9:25, and she was called at 9:30 ! I didn’t say anything ,but the smug look on my

    It’s part of our ongoing education process; I write something and he goes on Google to see what it means , it’s something I’m going to talk to the Education Secretary about to have it added to the curriculum. Cheers.

    You’re a sly one , Gunty You bring me into a thread that has stalled, knowing that I would give a reply guaranteed to get the saluki blind telling us their dogs were as good as any purpose bred lamper Kudos. Mate; kudos Cheers.

    I had a short list of who would be the first to bite But to be honest, you weren’t on it Max entered a retired coursing bred bitch in one of the lamping competitions, and I was told by people who saw it run the lamp that it came back with its rabbits as quick as it went out ! Must have been an exception Cheers.

    I think Salukis and saluki types are just “point & slip” dogs; and if you can get one to come back to you, it’s a keeper . Cheers.

    Yeah I watched Emma Lewis, she’s a local MP, a very impassioned speech. I doubt Starmer would dare to sack her, she’s old school Labour and would probably win her seat as an independent. Gardiner should have been charged with treason when he accepted £500,000 from a Chinese spy and gave her son a job in his parliamentary office. MI5 had her kicked out of the country. He’s not known as “Beijing Barry “ for nothing Cheers.

    Anyone else having problems accessing the site ? A little while ago, I couldn’t get on , kept getting a message “server not responding” so I gave up and didn’t try again for a week or so. Now it’s hit and miss, sometimes get the same message or get on but it’s incredibly slow. Has IanB gave up on the site, has he stopped getting maintenance done ? Where are the moderators ? I think the site hasn’t long to go, over 70,000 members but probably not even 20 posting with any regularity. Virtually no hunting posts. Is it because social media has overtaken forums li

    55 Labour MP’s didn’t turn up to vote. They are the cowards. They didn’t have the integrity to turn up and vote against Starmer or even turn up and abstain in the vote. I think Farage SHOULD have been there, but I can see his reasoning to keep a pre arranged canvassing day in Norfolk that was organised well before the vote, but was it impossible to do both ? Anyhow, the leftist Starmer supporters will make a big thing of it and turn a blind eye to the 15 Labour MP’s who voted against Starmer and the 55 who stayed away. Lowe will, quite rightly , in my mind, try to make pol

    At the moment I’m finding watching politics more exciting than watching Newcastle, but “non desistas, non exieris “ as they say Cheers.

    Starmer shows huge political naivety with almost every decision. Kemi, and I’m certainly NOT a supporter, played a blinder by asking for a debate and a vote on whether Starmer should be referred to the Privileges Committee that she knew had no chance of passing but would put Labour and the Speaker in a no-win situation. Speaker Hoyle couldn’t refuse the request as it would look like he wasn’t impartial and supported Starmer and Labour. Labour MP’s had the choice to vote with their conscience or toe the Labour line. Starmer had three choices; Refer himself to the Privil
