  2. i have been having problems with my 5 1/2 month old whippet pup running past or around me on the retrieve, after throwing her dummy. does anyone have any tips to encourage her to come straight to me? i have using treats and praising her when she does it right. thank you.
  3. it must hurt seeing your little guy like that. i hope she will be fine soon atb.
  4. ribeye steak, wedges, breaded onion rings and peppercorn sauce
  5. I've got one of those, a great bit of kit. Just a warning though, when you go to unscrew it to put the batteries in, make sure you don't hold it by the front bell, as that then unscrews and breaks the wires to the UV LED's, so you end up with just a torch. Hold the mid section and the base! A great little torch for the price. Maybe not up there with the £100 odd torches, but still plenty of light and throw for airgun lamping! i just tried it on my street (unfortunately i don't live on a farm no more ) I'm very surprised for its size. good floodlight in front and a surprising sp
  6. i just unwrapped my romisen rc-b2 one of these My link ill test it later and let you know what their like.
  7. i am not giving you advice but own opinion (no doubt ill be corrected ). iv shot for years and i have never had a professional lesson. i was taught by someone with decades of experience and the same affliction/opinion as me. iv done the self test and I'm sure too i have a left master eye. i close my left eye otherwise i see two barrels. i get criticised by my mates but still hit my targets (sometimes better ).
  8. i have wondered this exact same question as i had my 18 week old whippet (at the time) chase a rabbit in an urban park and despite lots of shouting recalls wouldn't stop (thank god, the rabbit got away). she responds to all recalls but not on this occasion and i have often thought that when I'm on public footpaths i will have to keep her on a long lead. i have also wondered if she did catch a rabbit when I'm walking her on public footpaths e.c.t would i be in trouble? i have put in many many hours training her (she is my first rabbiting dog) but she did not listen on this occasion and doubt sh
  9. i saw a .410 walking stick shotgun advertised somewhere, i bet they would have been popular.
  10. wow some goldfish that i remember getting a brown goldfish about 1 lb on maggot a couple of years ago and it put up quite a suprizing scrap. congratulations to that man

  12. have a look into going to askham bryan collage (harrogate / york) theres NVQ courses where you work and study (you still get paid too) they also help you find a job. i went to york and they where great.
  13. i once stood on a plank of wood with two nails in it side by side,one of the tops of the nails was bent at a right angle. my reaction was to lift my foot up fast and the wood span round and so did the nails in my foot so i couldent get them back out my foot. my brother had to stamp on the plank to get them out of me :sick: that hurt!! my foot balooned and was in hospital. walked funny for a few months.
  14. thanks, i can see her teeth coming through allready now after just two days!
  15. my whippet pup is five months old now and some of her teeth have fallen out out(the canines), i was expecting this for her adult teeth to grow but they have all fallen out at the same time is this normal? how long do they take to re-grow and should i feed her softer food as she eats dried food at the moment? thank you.
  16. at the moment she is 17.5 inch at the shoulder and five months old if that helps with any estimation?
  17. looks like you had a good day, nicely done!
  18. hi all i was just wondering what sort of age a whippet reaches its full height as mine seems to have slowed down its growth rate at 5 months now, any info greatly appreciated
  19. i cannot believw he wasnt seriously hurt! iv done a few mile long journeys for some more cans but never resorted to this
  20. have you seen this for a bad burglary

  22. thank you for that info, im going to get one now. its only for sleeping in as i cant do with been stuck in a sleeping bag when i get a run. atb
  23. i think five years it is a long time and a lot can change in someone in that amount of time, especially mentally. may our thoughts and prayers be with the victims families after such a disaster and hope nothing like this happens again.
