    I’ve seen one or two of the exotics, pharaoh hound, Ibizan hound, borzoi, Afghan, etc and every owner of one has told me how good they were at hunting and racing, and every one couldn’t catch a rabbit in a ‘phone box and wouldn’t beat a whippet if given 100 yards start over 150 yards ! These would have all been show types , and I know that in Australia some of these types are used as crosses in their running dogs, but I can’t see any practical use for them here . Cheers.

    I wish I had more pics from the pre-digital days . I remember LDR taking a load of pics with a film camera of a night we had on deer and fox, I said no chemist would develop them, but he knew a chemist that would. If you tried that these days, you’d be getting an early morning knock from the police ! LOL ! Cheers.

    We were there for four days. We did ferreting and lamping rabbits lower down and went up the mountains daytime for the hares, probably 2 or 3 hours each time, I didn’t keep a check on the time. It got down to below -10 degrees at times . Its right what Drover says about the heather; there was a whippet with us that was great on the rabbits, but it’s legs got cut to bits first time on the frozen heather on the hares further up the mountains. Cheers.

    That’s exactly where you need a dog that quarters the ground and finds its own quarry. The heather was knee deep in places, and sometimes covered in a layer of frost or thin ice. Other places were scree and rocks; Hard work for man and dog. Cheers.

    From what his mother told me it was open trials then after evaluating all the entries, only the ones the coaches thought had potential were invited to join the course. Is your pals son at the academy in Jeddah , Saudi Arabia ? Cheers.

    For some reason there needs to be a vote in parliament ! While our politicians dither, the enemy within gets stronger…. Barry Gardiner, Labour MP, has just said the perpetrators are NOT terrorists, they are criminals, then backed down and said they MAY have committed a terrorist offence ! How in hell can you commit a terrorist offence, but NOT be a terrorist ?? Cheers.

    I can dream , mate, but it’s my job to keep his feet firmly on the ground. He will get all the support I can give but as I’ve said, there’s a very high attrition with young footballers. Cheers.

    If he makes the grade he will be sending a private jet for his old granddad ! Long way to go mate, only a very VERY small percentage make the grade, but he’s got his foot on the first rung of the ladder. Cheers.

    Football is huge in Saudi. They are moving on from signing super star players at the end of their careers and now going for younger players with potential . My grandson did a months course here with FA and UEFA coaches and they were pleased with him and he picked up player of the week award. Who knows what will happen when he hits puberty ? LOL ! He may go in a completely different direction when girls come on the scene ! Cheers.

    I said I a previous post that he is fluent in English and Arabic and was learning French. I know there is a very VERY high attrition in trainee footballers, but he is a very focused young lad. Early days, who knows, PSG might do all the hard work, then I get him to sign for Newcastle ! LOL ! Cheers.

    Well, I must be the proudest grand dad in the world at the moment ! We got a call last night telling us our 10 year old grandson has had a trial for PSG , and he’s been accepted into their Academy in the Middle East for a 10 month intensive coaching course that could lead to a scholarship in Paris ! Very early days yet , but I’m as proud as Punch ! Cheers.

    I don’t know yet, it’s not ‘till December. The lads have got a full schedule planned, coursing, ferreting, lamping, digging , hounds, fishing. My pal went last year and stayed at a farm. Cheers.

    Last time I drove to Anglesey and got the ferry to Dublin and drove to Ballycommon because I had the dogs with me. This time I’ll fly from Newcastle to Belfast, under an hour and around £50. Rab is setting up my itinerary, hope to see Gerrard and the Armagh sniper, and the other lads. Dont forget, I’ll be 73 by then, you’ll have to cut me some slack ! LOL ! Get the Air Ambulance on speed dial ! LOL ! Cheers.

    I lifted three sacks of chicken food this morning ! LOL ! Dont worry, I’ll be there, an hours flight to Ireland is like a walk in the park compared to some flights I’ve had ! But don’t forget you are doing any digging, I’m just an observer! LOL ! Cheers.

    Steve Baker has just said it’s an “act of sabotage in pursuit of political objectives”, the exact legal definition of a terrorist attack. Let’s see what happens to them. Cheers.

    Protesters from “Palestine Action” last night broke into the UK’s biggest military airbase and sprayed paint into the jet engines of two RAF aircraft and escaped un- noticed ! Where were the security ? Where were the RAF Regiment ? Russia must be rolling around laughing at us ! No need for drones or Spetznas, just send in a couple of Palestine protesters! Farage is calling for “Palestine Action “ to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation, I’d say they are traitors. The head of security, base commander and last nights security detail are going to have to answer so

    The paper is wrong. The “bunker buster “ bomb can be delivered by the B52. Cheers.

    When I read what he posted I held my head in my hands and thought “ what have I told you about reading back what you are about to post before pressing the send button……..” Cheers.

    Where are you ? I’m in Northumberland and my pal who gave me the cucumber plants is about 150 mile south of me and hers are way in front of mine, in fact everything I grow is months behind her stuff. First time I’ve tried to grow Kohl Rabi, it’s a brassica and the edible part is the bulb between the roots and the leaves, supposed to taste like a cross between cabbage and turnip. Cheers.

    Kohl Rabi bulbs forming; Two lots of garlic lifted; Melon cucumbers growing well; Cucumbers starting to show; Cheers.
