  1. I travelled over to Ireland to judge a show, and I’ve got a standing invitation to judge one of the biggest shows in Australia which I hope to do sometime, but this show is literally a few minutes from me. Theres lads coming from Lancs and Scotland as well as from Northumberland, so there should be some good craic ! Cheers.
  2. Anyone going to the show on Saturday ? Its in aid of one of my local hunts, the Tynedale. Theres a few of us going, it’s only minutes from my house, to support them. Cheers.
  3. I make plum vodka the same way. Cheers.
  4. Wasn’t Branson talking about something like this years ago ? Fly up out of the atmosphere and let the earths rotation do the work and drop down to Australia an hour or so later ? Mind you, I don’t know how he was going to overcome flying upside down when he got to Australia , maybe that’s why he didn’t do it ? LOL ! Cheers.
  5. Sloe gin is extremely easy to make, so why try to “re-invent the wheel” ? Pick your sloe berries after they had a frost, or if picked before a frost, put them in the freezer for a few days. Fill a DemiJohn or another container 1/3rd with sloe berries . Add sugar until it just covers the berries. Add your gin and give a good shake. Leave for as long as possible, or at least a couple of months, shaking up once a week. Strain off into bottles and enjoy ! I sometimes add a bottle of red wine to the mix, but it isn’t a must . Cheers.
  6. Is it only fox hunting, Terry ? Cheers.
  7. How on earth can France demand anything of us ? We have the nuclear deterrent and the best equipped armed forces in Europe, one of our carrier groups is setting sail today ! Europe needs OUR forces, we should tell Macron to go f**k himself, if he mentions fishing again we should threaten to pull all our forces out of Europe, especially those on the front line in the Baltic states and re-assess any defence pact, in force or suggested ! But of course Starmer is a fifth columnist, working to take us back into the EU and relinquish our sovereignty to Brussels ! Cheers.
  8. I wasn’t going to intrude on the Popes passing with something as gauche’ as football shirts, but you’ve opened the door for me, so you’re to blame ! LOL ! I send lots of football kit to my grandson in Saudi , but my missus has just come back from there and brought me these; Al Ahli, my grandsons favourite Saudi team, almost identical to Newcastles away shirt; Al Ittihad, a family friend was Chairman and still has connections to the club; Both teams owned by PIF, so “sister clubs” to Newcastle. My sympathies to all catholics and anyone mourning the passing o
  9. I don’t know. Just had a look, it means two contradicting statements in the same sentence, I think. Like wanting to catch something before it becomes extinct, therefore hastening that extinction. Of course I could be completely wrong . Cheers.
  10. “I want to catch some before they become extinct “ Not sure if that’s an oxymoron or a paradox…….. Cheers.
  11. When talking to Daywalkers don’t believe anything you hear, and only half you see …..
  12. And watched by a goldie as his mate collected hair that I’d stripped from the bitch, to make a nest; An excellent few hours at the allotment ! Cheers.
  13. Mangetout , sugar snaps and asparagus peas ready to plant out; Cheers.
  14. Pumpkins, and three types of cucumber, and aubergines ready to plant out/repot; Cheers.
  15. Villa were the better team, no doubt in my mind but the score line, in my mind , flattered them. A massive deflection for the first goal, and a Dan Burn own goal for the fourth. Then again , Villa hit the woodwork three times, so were worthy winners. Newcastle have been on a great run, losing this one doesn’t mean we’re not in pole position to finish in the top five and a Champions League slot against the teams below us. Cheers.
  16. Ear damage in hares; Caused by parasites, evidently. Cheers.
  17. Maybe they can, but I certainly can’t ! I can tell how good a hare is once a dog is slipped on it, but no way I can say “ that hares got five minutes in it” or “ that hares only good for a minute” just by looking at it standing or sitting in a field. Im certainly no expert, but I’ve seen and ran more than my fair share of hares and could probably say, “that hare with the huge head and torn ears looks like an old buck” or “ that little hare looks like a leveret or small doe”, but I wouldn’t be so presumptuous to look at a hare sitting in a field and say “that hare looks like it’s got fi
  18. You can tell how good a hare is just by looking at it, not running it ??? As Rudyard would say; “ you’re a better man than me, Gunga Din” ! LOL ! Cheers.
