  1. Let’s put it this way, I’ve consistently said a non-ped is the fastest dog over the sprint distance, 150-200 yards, you keep moving the goal posts. So, I’ll say one of your dogs, out of traps, on a race track will be well beaten by a top non- ped. An equal slip on a hare, the non- ped will beat your dogs over the first 100-150 yards, of that Im sure. I’m also sure that as the course goes goes on, you dog would take over and the non-ped would drop away. They are dogs bred for completely different purposes, one for initial sprint speed, the other for staying power. If you thi
  2. I’ve had the pleasure of timing and handicapping the fastest dogs in the world over the sprint distance………and they weren’t Salukis ! What my protege doesn’t seem to understand is that nobody is disagreeing that the purpose bred saluki hybrid is the best daytime hare coursing dog, but they are not the best at everything ! I’ve seen non-ped whippets murder coursing bred dogs on the first couple of hares, but that’s it, the coursing bred will go on to run more and the non- ped will be finished; they aren’t bred to be stayers, as I’ve said , ad infinitum, they are bred with the sole purp
  3. A lot of “world beaters” aren’t world beaters mate ! If you enjoy your dog, it’s a world beater to you ! Cheers.
  4. First cross beddy/grey; Cheers.
  5. Loses THIS appeal. Next she can appeal to the Supreme Court, which isn’t really “Supreme “ because if she fails again there, she can appeal to the ECHR ! Over £5 million given to her legal team in legal aid. No way are they going to stop milking this cash cow ! Cheers.
  6. The bird was owned by Sheik Maktoom , ruler of Dubai, and being trained by Hamed Gunaim . It was bought in Germany. Cheers.
  7. My second favourite is War and Peace. I only read it because I was told there is a chapter on borzoi hunting wolves ! Cheers.
  8. The top picture is a bitch; the next picture is it’s sire. Cheers.
  9. A quote from my favourite book; Joseph Heller’s Catch 22. Cheers.
  10. “ Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t following you” ! Cheers.
  11. Beginners lock picking tool; Big Red Key ! Cheers.
  12. Leave your house and arrive back at different times. Always keep at least a car length of space between you and the car in front. Vary your route, never go the same way twice. Wear a baseball cap pulled down over your eyes and don’t look up. Use a “burner ‘phone” and change it regularly. Standard Operating Procedures…. Mackem told me ! Cheers.
  13. You’re under surveillance……. Cheers.
  14. I’m guessing olives, hummus, and black truffle infused olive oil ? Cheers.
  15. I’ve consistently said that the NON-PED WHIPPET is the fastest dog in the world over a sprint distance, 150-200 yards. Now, you will come back and say “but the non-ped whippet has greyhound in it “, and I’d agree, but as you’ve said in the past that a coursing bred will beat a greyhound in the run up, that should be immaterial. If you’re not just on a wind up and honestly believe a coursing bred will beat a non-ped whippet over a sprint distance, I cant see the point in having the conversation. Cheers.
  16. Why would I bring a whippet ? I haven’t had a whippet since the early 70’s, I’ve run deerhound types for the last 20 years ! Cheers.
  17. A $100,000 falcon, and me shitting myself in case it starts baiting and damages itself ! Cheers.
  18. Hamed Ghunaim, who made the film “Hounds Of Arabia”, gave me a dvd of himself and Sheik Maktoum flying their falcons on bustards. A pal gave me a dvd of him flying his Harris hawk on bolted rabbits. Worlds apart, but equally exciting and enjoyable ! Cheers.
  19. Seen a couple of golden eagles when Northernlite invited me to run white hares in the Cairngorms, and there was one circling just a few feet above my head. Cheers.
  20. Placebo effect, maybe? Cheers.
  21. To be honest, I think there is far more good natured banter and a lot less bitterness on here now than there was years ago ; I can’t remember the last “off liner” ! LOL ! Cheers.
  22. I’m reading that as “you’re no educated person”. Colloquially I’d say “ inter ma’afi muk” ! LOL ! Cheers.
  23. Daffs, crocus and snowdrops out here today . Decided to take a chance and sow some peas, sugar snaps, green beans and runner beans in the greenhouse; Cheers.
  24. My pal sent this deerhound up to Scotland to work with an eagle on hare and fox; Cheers.
