  1. Just link photobucket photo's don't use the sites up-loader. TC
  2. We have had this conversation before, I honestly do not fear death, I do not embrace it or chase it but when my time comes I will "go quietly in to that deep dark night". I will go knowing I have done my job in propagating the species, which if truth be told is all we are here for. I will go knowing that a part of me will live on in perpetuity the same as my forefathers before me. TC Hoping not to offend you Tiercel but would you say your outlook in any way effects your instinct for survival ?.......what i mean is in a given situation,a house fire for example ( God forbid ) could you
  3. No they can't. he says with a dead pan expression. TC

  5. They must have conducted experiments with the cryo, even with lab mice or rats to see if it is possible to return them to life after being frozen even for a short period of time? Although I am just thinking aloud here, they can freeze eggs and sperm and they are still viable, so maybe just maybe it would be possible? I would not think that a body that has been ravaged by disease to the point that it died would stand much chance of being brought back though? Just thinking out loud. TC
  6. A gwp? Well it's not a lab thats for sure. TC
  7. I don't know what they are all on about? Thats not a bad hedge pretty open in fact. Twelve feet wide, solid blackthorn and bramble with a covering of ground ivy. TC
  8. What way do you go about training them? It's really hard to put in to words but the basis is you work with the dogs natural instincts as opposed to trying to stifle them. say you have been training Spaniels and you want them to work within 20 yards of you. Try that with a HPR and neither of you will get anywhere, because it is against all the dogs natural instincts. The difference between HPR and all other breeds is the pointing when you can cast a dog out 2 300 yards away and know when it finds game it will come on point and hold that point till told to flush. The problem with most dog t
  9. I think the dictionary definition confirms that he is a terrorist - although the word is so overused that it's losing its true meaning.To call him a "Britain First terrorist" is, at very best, tenuous and, at worst, downright dishonest, for the reasons I gave above. I'll admit it's a bit of an oversimplification used as a headline but I'm sure we can agree based on what we know of his motives and ideology that "right wing nationalist terrorist" fits perfectly. I disagree, the term 'terrorist' conjurers up a picture of a trained assassin who is willing to die for his cause. This bloke wh
  10. A few keeper mates have swore by them and wouldn't be without them. They are all grouse keepers right enough but they say they are great dogs for a bit of everything The only thing I can think of that a lab would bring to the cross is a toning down of the flair that the GWP has and perhaps make it a little more receptive to different training methods? TC
  11. If I started listing the disciplines I done with mine you would call me a liar, lets just say they are the most versatile breed, in over 50 years of keeping dogs, that I have ever seen. That said, the only problem is, that you have to totally change your way of thinking to train them. I was lucky and had help from a person who had trained them for years, even then it was hard to unlearn all you had learned and start afresh. Once I did it was a revelation how quick they could cotton on to what was asked of them. They are not for everyone I will agree but if the owner can make the change and
  12. You snared many then? I would say from his response no? But I could be wrong would not be the first time. TC
  13. As long as you remember it yes. by making it private people can only see what you post links too. They cannot see the rest of the album. I have loads of different albums some are public but most are private. TC
  14. Have I?? You sure....not sure how lol By not having the album private, just make it private in settings in photobucket. On the top right hand side you will see a cog click on that then select privacy. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select private. TC
  15. This one seems to be doing alright on the pheasants. Photo borrowed from Mik's thread here. If you do not know how HPR work then save yourself some hassle and leave them alone. TC
  16. My first question would be why? What would the lab bring to the table that is not already there? TC
  17. Depends on the age of the geese what you can do with them. Geese are different to ducks, in that the older they get the tougher they get. If they were this years geese then there are a lot of things you can do with the breasts apart from casseroles and curries and they will still be tender. You can slice the breasts length ways about a half an inch thick tenderise them with a mallet the breadcrumb them and make Schnitzels out of them. Or you could even stuff a whole breast with a garlic and herb stuffing and breadcrumb that and cook in the oven like a Kiev. Slice a young breast and and flash f
  18. To be fair on this if you ordered it this morning and he posted it dinner time first class and Royal mail did not deliver it till Friday that would not be his fault would it? He has done everything in his power to make sure you have the lamp ASAP. The problems arise when Snail Mail do not do the job they are paid for. All a seller can do is expedite an order ASAP, once posted it is out of his hands unfortunately. It really pi$$es me off when a seller does all that he can to make sure you get your product in the shortest time possible, only to be let down by a substandard service by a third
  19. It was one way to make sure he went though with the final visit, I think we have all been guilty at some time or other of delaying the inevitable even for a day or two. "See what he's /she's like in the morning" type of thing, unless of course it's an accident where the decision has to be made on the spot. As I said in my previous post I think it was for his benefit, and no I cannot condemn what he did, if it worked for him then great, the right outcome was achieved. TC
  20. True, if like myself you have never snared an animal and would not really know where to start, I would plum for traps also. Yet there are people who, through hard work, knowledge and no little skill are able to snare a variety of animals at will. TC
  21. I will be the first to admit you have a social conscience. But with this wind-up It's now going a bit too far. Your fishing for bites and so far have a bag full, lets just say you have had your limit? Please? TC
