  1. First poly tunnel ready, just finished re-potting and caning up the tomatoes; Cheers.
  2. I’ve just used the last of the old stuff on my cauliflower and broccoli plugs that I’ve planted out, so let us know what you think of that stuff . Cheers.
  3. I’m in full training for my Ireland trip; I’ve even been practicing my “mC hull 1,000 yard stare” ! PMSL !!! Cheers.
  4. Not quite ! I’m still out lamping and , dare I say it, daywalking. I won’t hold you lads back too much when I come over in the winter, but I’ll happily leave the digging to you ! LOL ! Just renewed my passport to take up an invitation to the Middle East for some big game fishing and running a few desert hares with Salukis. So still a bit life left in the old dog yet ! LOL ! And , yes, mC; that was almost a bite !PMSL ! Cheers.
  5. Max thinks there’s still some straws off England Expects at the stud place., he’s checking. Cheers.
  6. I know, I’ve not slept, I was up all last night watching the results. The recount for the by-election was about as much excitement I can stand these days ! LOL ! Cheers.
  7. He’s like a prodigal son to me ! My heart rejoices whenever he learns something with my help ! Cheers.
  8. It’s a term Americans use when they’ve been embarrassed, in a nice way , by praise. C’mon mate, you know how I like to set you little teasers so you have to Google ! Cheers.
  9. Shucks , as my American pals would say …. Cheers.
  10. Ah, but what do you consider a “grew” to be ? Theres one man , whose name I can’t allow myself to mention, insists it’s just Scottish shorthand for “Greyhound”. Myself, I consider it to be the term for a first cross whippet/greyhound, which I do not consider to be the same as a non-ped whippet cross greyhound, which will, invariably, have slightly more than 50% of either breeds in its heritage….but, of course, I may just be being pedantic, or far more unlikely , wrong ! LOL ! Cheers.
  11. Correcting people because of spelling mistakes is very dangerous when you have big fingers and a small iPhone…… And it’s not “owt’” or “out” in the context they are being used; it’s “anything “ ! Now turn on your spellcheck, and proof read your posts before pressing send ! LOL ! Don’t make me set you extra homework ! Cheers.

    Missing that blue off the spot was terrible. Got to be the worst session O’Sullivan has played in his career And he’s Xingtong’s mentor ! Cheers,

    Snooker

    His long game isn’t what it was, but he’s still probably in the top four or five with it. His break building , positioning and safety play is up with the very best. Its his first tournament after 5 months off, so he’s bound to be a bit rusty so it’ll be hard work to win it, but there’s still the fear factor other players have when playing him, so I wouldnt write him off yet. Cheers.
  14. Have you been and voted for the boxer, Luke Campbell, to be your new mayor today mate ? Cheers.

    Snooker

    Very early in the semi final but O’Sullivan is being given a bit of a snooker lesson by this young Chinese qualifier. Long way to go. Cheers.
  16. I find its best to tell the truth , wether it’s about dogs or growing veg ! Bullshitters usually get found out ! LOL ! Cheers.
  17. I’m really lucky to have a great pal who must be one of the best veg growers in the country. Every year she brings me a van load of plants, a huge selection of toms, chillis , sweet peppers, cucumbers, courgettes, aubergines, pumpkins, kohl rabi, celery, celeriac and specialised plants like Vietnamese coriander and asparagus peas. All I do is repot or prepare the beds for planting. I grow my own onions, leeks, garlic, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes green beans and Mangetout. Cheers.
  18. You’ve been in a barrack room mate? LOL ! He’ll not come over mate ….i will. Cheers.
  19. Read back through the thread Scotty mate! I’ve got my invite , he’s got his, I’ve took up every invite I’ve ever had , be that to the Cairngorms or to Ireland or Australia or New Zealand or to the UAE or America . Im an old man now but I know a lot of the Irish lads, not personally, but keep in touch with them on line, so it will be great to meet them and hunt with them . It’s what I do, if mC is more comfortable at home, I’ll not denigrate him for that, he makes me smile, and that’s a compliment ! LOL ! Cheers.
  20. C’mon lads , it’s been good craic, let’s keep it fun ! I'll be over in the coming season and look forward to it and giving a good write up on here! Cheers.
  21. You know I love you, in a very paternalistic, prodigal son way , I hasten to add ! LOL ! But you can’t sneak onto my very discerning group by trying to bribe me with videos ! It’s only for mature, well travelled , open minded individuals. When the scales are removed from your eyes and you can see working dogs don’t necessarily need saluki in them , then , and only then , you may be considered for elevation to to the lurcher world’s equivalent of the “Illuminati “…… Cheers.
  22. I said a good while ago that I’d seen one knocked down on the A69 very near where I live , also was told they’d been introduced to Kielder Forest, but I’ve lamped all that area for years and only seen one deer that I thought , at the end of the beam , was a munty, They have definitely been recorded south of the Tyne, a natural barrier for the coming into Northumberland, but I hope they do make it ! Cheers.
  23. No mate it’s very exclusive. No nonsense, no bull shit, just dogs and hunting and a very strict Admin/moderator. Im the gaffer, I say who is invited on and who gets kicked off ! Proper little Hitler ! LOL ! Good lads from around the world, and great craic. Cheers.
