    His family came from Washington, Tyne & Wear. His ancestral home is Washington Hall. I lived in Washington for a while and remember Jimmy Carter visiting the Hall and planting a tree. Cheers.

    Trotsky advocated “permanent revolution” to include turning the western democracies communist. Hardly sounds like a western puppet. There seems different opinions on Karenskey’s death, but you asked who the Russians killed, I gave two names one of whom is indisputable. I’ll ask you the same question I asked Peter Hitchens when he was extolling the virtues of Russia over western democracies ; “If Russia is so good, why aren’t you living there?” I hope for a less aggressive answer than I got from him ! LOL ! Cheers.

    Karenskey was the first President of Russia after the revolution. Stalin had Trotsky killed so he could take power. Cheers.

    C’mon mate there’s two I can think of straightaway; Karenskey and Trotsky, both executed by their opponents after a coup. I’ve told you a million time …..do your homework ! LOL ! Cheers.

    I’ve often thought about importing dogs, ( I’ve actually imported three; two from Australia and one from Saudi, but they weren’t working dogs). So why import , well it would be more from the heart than the head, there’s nothing in this country that can’t be caught with our own types and breeds. Years ago, imported Salukis added to the coursing dog, but would they add anything now ? I doubt it. Staghounds from Australia ? I’ve seen them work and as impressive as they are, they are for the ground and quarry down there, probably not for here. They may add something, but I’m not sur

    I’ve generally had very good bosses, but one incident springs to mind. Two of the directors called me into the office and said they had been told I left a training course early and they were going to suspend me for a week. They didn’t ask my version of events, so I told them they wouldn’t be suspending me, as I was already pondering an offer from one of their competitors, and they had just made my mind up for me ! As I was leaving, they said please wait and let us discuss it, I replied that they couldn’t think much of my worth to the company if they could do without my input for a week

    I think it depends how far left the new intake of Labour MP’s are. We could see Starmer defenestrated and end up with Prime Minister Angela Rayner and the most far left government we’ve ever had . Cheers.

    Do you tell the restauranteur that you are a renowned food critic when you’re taking all the photos, and get the grub for nowt ? LOL ! Cheers.

    “Scottish Deerhound “ is a Scottish Deerhound. ”English Deerhound “ is a cross between a Scottish Deerhound and a Greyhound. Simple as that, really…… Cheers.

    Go to any gold and silver souk in the Middle East and buy as much gold as you want for cash, no questions asked . Cheers.

    I’m only guessing but it looks like some “real politik “ is going on behind the scenes. Putin has offered to “share “ the Crimea with Ukraine, and now the horse trading begins with NATO’s counter offer to not allow Ukraine to join. There will be a lot of shuttle diplomacy going on between the West and Russia that we won’t hear of until an agreement that saves face for both sides is agreed, and both sides will claim victory. The West can’t afford to keep pouring billions of dollars into the war, and Russia can’t afford to keep pouring millions in men and matériel into it. Just

    I thought it was quite humorous; he’s sold his car and the buyer has had his pants down ! Maybe it’s just us older members that see the funny side ? Cheers.

    Saudi is actually a hereditary monarchy with a “shura “ , an elected cabinet of ministers, not a dictatorship. And I was free to come and go as I pleased apart from the fact they gave me a salary and conditions I could only dream of in the UK. But all that’s irrelevant, I wasn’t a citizen of Saudi and I’m a great believer in “ when in Rome…”. Cheers.
