The missus is off on her travels again so I’m a bit bored! LOL ! Cheers.

I’ve never seen the point of a bull/whippet; slower than a whippet and not as game as a bull ! There; back on track, with a contentious comment ! LOL ! Cheers

Yes, a sad state of affairs ; 14 years of a crew without a compass; now a new crew about to scuttle the ship ! Cheers.

I fear the site is drifting along like a rudderless ship ! An absent owner and non-existent moderation. Cheers.

I think the meandering nature of threads on THL is what keeps them interesting and relevant. Cheers.

Just had a look and as of 2024 the US has twice as much gold reserves than China and Russia combined ! Gold Reserves by Country 2024 WORLDPOPULATIONREVIEW.COM Cheers.

If China is going to bring down the West by returning to the gold standard, and not by obliterating us with nuclear missiles, I could accept that ! Cheers.

When the crash comes, if it does, and if I’m still around, I’ve got my allotments, poultry, dogs and fishing gear, I’ll probably not starve, I live a pretty frugal life anyway! LOL ! Cheers.

Glad I’ve got my own little gold and silver reserves then ! LOL ! cheers.

Lammy called Trump ”a Nazi sympathising sociopath” Trump has already said if he becomes President, he will only deal with Starmer through Farage. Could be some fun ahead ! Cheers.

BRICS is just a trade agreement, much like The EU, NAFTA, AUKUS, CPTPP. If they want to have the Chinese Yuan as their currency, so what ? The EU is one of the biggest trading blocks in the world and has its own currency, the Euro. What would happen if the BRICS countries demanded to be paid for their goods in Yuan and America, the EU, the Uk, and all the other nonBRICS countries refused and said they would only pay in their own currencies ? China couldn’t afford not to sell to the rest of the world. All countries will continue to have their own currencies and trade with each othe

I think the Rolex issue was just the culmination of many other issues ! Cheers.

Talking of Rolex’s, years ago I knew a bloke in the Middle East , his nick name “Dodgy Dave” should give an insight into him. Anyway, his missus wanted a Rolex for Xmas, so he bought a snide one in Thailand, then went to the Rolex dealers in Saudi, where he had bought his own genuine watch, and put on a sob story about the box getting damaged and could they give him a replacement box, which they did. He put the snide watch in the genuine box and gave it to his missus, who was over the moon! Of course the obvious happened and after a short while the snide Rolex packed in. She too

Oh, I listen ! My day wouldn’t be complete without reading your assessments of everything in the world, it puts a smile on my face ! LOL ! Cheers.

“Italian Greyhound x Yorkshire Terrier; miniature lurchers ideal for city apartment dwellers; only £2,000.” There a money maker ! LOL ! Cheers.

That’s Moscow, litter brother to Jack. He was a big dog, not mine by the way. Co-incidentally, Slack was mentioned on the deer/grey thread, that’s his wife standing next to me with one of his old deer/greys, in a veterans lurcher class, the dogs were the veterans I hasten to add, although the handlers could probably be so described also ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
Errors ? Yeah, we all make them, best to admit them and learn from them, I’m never too old to make mistakes ! LOL ! Cheets.

Ooh ! You’ve done it now and mentioned the”M” word ! Cheers.

At the beginning of last season I thought I’d sharpen my bitch up for the hares on a few golf course/playing field rabbits. She was surprisingly sharp for a 28” deer/grey; caught the first one, turned the second inside out but lost it in a hedge, turned the third one away from the rough but tumbled over, got up and caught and retrieved the rabbit but I could see she was hurt, a sprained wrist ! Took me six weeks to get her right and the irony is I’m a great believer in “horses for courses” and “hounds for grounds” so I had no one to blame but myself ! Cheers.

Tell that to those bloody golf course rabbits ! LOL ! Cheers.

Scottish deerhound or English deerhound
chartpolski replied to Jude85's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I put a post up some years ago entitled “Are Pure Really Pure ?” I traced the lineage of one of my deer/greys back and found the deerhound sire had Ms. Nobles breeding that had , with the permission of the KC , greyhound blood added. I traced the greyhound dam all the way back to “Pilot” in the 1800’s and along the way found “Rough Greyhound” and “ Scottish Greyhound”. So, the Deerhound and the greyhound are fairly closely related in the grand scheme of things. Cheers. -
It’s an analogy, not a comparison , mate. Basically poking a little innocent fun at your question “ what have the American ever done “. Cheers.

Cheers.

Forgot to mention the layer of strawberry jam ! Cheers.
