    In all honesty ; Davey is a gentleman. He put up with me up the Cairngorms and still invited me on his lowland permission with my totally unsuitable deerhound types more than once ! Proper dog lad is the highest accolade I can give ! Cheers.

    I don’t want to tempt fate, mate , but my dad and mum were well into their 90’s, my older brother almost eighty , younger brother almost seventy, sister late sixties.. all still fit and doing what they want. I’ll come in and say to my missus, (72), “ I’ve been talking to this old bloke today” and she’ll say he’s years younger than you ! Gunter and my Irish pals will, I’ve no doubt, give an honest opinion of me when I’ve been out to hunt with them and I’ll be 73 ! Cheers.

    I actually saw a pair like that second pic at our local whippet track, and of course I had to talk to the owner. He said they were the fastest dogs he’s ever seen and kill hares for fun. I organised a run up the track for him and honestly, they ran like clockwork tin soldiers ! I could have run faster myself ! LOL ! Cheers.

    I could be wrong mate, but even if you “stream” or record terrestrial tv like BBC, ITV, you still need a license. If you only watch the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc you don’t need a license. It’s a minefield, mate. I understand we are the only country in the world that has a television tax, and now we are the only country in the world with an education tax, since Labour put VAT on private schools. It’s only going to get worse at the next budget……but then again, did those who voted for Labour not understand that Labour has ALLWAYS been a tax, spend and borrow party ?

    I wish ! LOL ! We don’t even get a free telly license until we are 75, and then you need to be on pension credit ! I get f**k all from the government, I’m a man of independent means. Cheers.

    I found out that you can go to the PDSA , even if you don’t qualify for treatment, and you can pay for worm and flea treatment! I did it with both my dogs this year and it’s cheaper than buying the gear off the internet, and supports a good cause ! Cheers.

    This is a pure Deerhound bitch, around 26”; Mainly Doxhope/Seaton Valley breeding; Put this non-ped whippet/grey over her and I’d be first in line for a pup ! Cheers.

    I think it’s only the first crosses that go 28/29” mate. Second crosses can be a lot smaller. I had an Ashington bred second cross dog, early 70’s , that went 25/26”. When he went over a greyhound, I had a bitch pup that would have been the size of the bitches I keep now. The one on the right in this pic is a bitch I had with only 1/8th deerhound, the rest was beddy , whippet, greyhound and only went 23” the bitch on the left was Ashington bred , mainly deer/ grey with just a dash of collie and only made 24”; . Billy Doherty had small, ( for pure deehound), bitches,

    A bit too late for me to get into them. Ill just have to make do with my small portfolio of shares, my property, a bit of precious metals and stones and some good old cash under the mattress and hope the capitalist system doesn’t explode too soon ! LOL ! Cheers.

    How do you cash them in ? Do you need a buyer on the open market or is there a bitcoin bank ? What if everyone tried to cash them in at the same time ? Would the bitcoin market crash, just like banks can’t give everyone their deposits at the same time as they don’t physically have the cash at hand. if these cryptocurrency are making such astronomical gains and they were to be cashed in where would the money come from ? Cheers.

    I still know extremely little about crypto currency. Didnt bitcoin start as a computer game where super nerds had to solve problems to enable them to “mine” imaginary currency that had no actual physical worth or form ? Then people stared trading this invisible currency and some companies started accepting them as payment. What I REALLY don’t understand is where all this “normal” currency is coming from when a bitcoin that was worth a dollar is now worth millions ? Surely there is a more or less finite amount of money in the world ? I understand “fiscal easing”, banks printin

    Around this area especially Ashington/Bedlington , where both Docherty and Sankey live, deerhound types were the main types for many years and took plenty of hare and roe, a lot of it on rough ground . Some famous dogs any old timer from the area may remember such as “Thor” and “ The Widdrington Train. Still a few about , and when I go to the local whippet tracks my dogs get a lot of attention from the old timers. Cheers.

    Mate, what I question is the ACCURACY of the 500 yard slips on lamped rabbits and the 12 minute courses. Lads have said to me they have slipped on 500yard rabbits, but when you pace it out it’s about 150 ! Ask anyone to tell you when 12 minutes is up and time it; they will invariably come up very short. Most people tend to overestimate distance and under estimate time. Of course there are very long slips and courses, I just question the accuracy. Cheers.

    I’m just joking mate ! Working deerhound blood is hard to find now but there’s still some about if you do your homework. Ive noticed at the few shows I’ve been to this year that the deerhound types are making a comeback….wether they are worked or not is a different matter. Cheers.
