  1. I used to keep pedigree Texel sheep had some big Tups, that would have gave them sheep short thrift, and that without horns.
  2. Okay im in, its years since I had a Clootie Dumpling.
  3. For those who know what this comp is about, could someone stick up the details, or is it a secret.
  4. I could be wrong, but i think i heard on the radio this morning, he was seen, in the cafe, so would it not have been better for a sniper to take him out.
  5. One hostage dead, The so called Cleric shot and killed.
  6. Have two Boys and two Girls primary school age, go live in a village surrounded by farms heaving with Rabbits. get them into the local village primary school, your kids will pal up with local farmer kids, you go to all school events, where you will mix with the local Farmers and Wife's, bingo, tell them you are looking for ferreting permission. You will soon have as much permission you can shake a stick at.
  7. Couldn't believe what ive just heard in a radio Scotland interview, ex Celtic player Murdo McCloud says Celtic are a better football team than Inter.
  8. I think you could waste them, why don't you just wear overtrousers or wax chaps.
  9. ive just bought the Vikings box set, from Amazon, will watch it over the festive period.
  10. If the weather is nice, ha ha, you can drive through Glencoe which is stunning, make yourself to Oban, then get the ferry to Mull, and finish of your holiday staying in the hotel on Iona, beautiful wee island with a lot of history, the ferry from Mull to Iona only takes 20 mins, you go as a foot passenger, cars not allowed on the island. But as i said all depends if you get a decent weather break.
  11. I know its different down South, we have the SNP, and it looks like Labour in Scotland are in for a big shock, and the Cons and libs are a no no, up here. if i was down South i certainly would not be voting Lab, Con, or lib, they need a big kick in the teeth, i have never known the public to be so fed up. and i agree with last post, for that labour person on question time to say Labour have apologized for getting immigration wrong, the whole lot involved should have been sacked and booted out. you also need to get rid of that giant gravy train, known as the House Of Lords, i was listening to
  12. Cant believe that on prime time television tonight we have Mary Berrys absolute Xmas favourites. Years ago all cooking and baking programmes would be on in an afternoon slot, Why don't these people just retire, her face appears to be everywhere, then we have the British sew in,, Strictly come dancing, Xfactor, and that horrible pair Ant and Deck who should be dropped by helicopter into a real jungle, and with a bit of luck never to be seen again. rant over.
  13. mary kings close, they discovered under buildings in Edinburgh streets, that remained in tact, at the time of the plaque. you are taking round, and told all the history, also the ghost tours Mercat tours are the best, you are taking round all the old closes in the City, classed as ghost tours, they are more of actual gruesome historical events, tales of English being nailed by the lugs, (ears) to the tollbooth door, and lots of tales of hangings and torture, the one we were on the Lady taking the tour was excellent. lasted a while and was well worth the money.
  14. Last year Martin Lewis, money expert, put this following question to the Archbishop Of Canterbury, Do you feel guilty over the amount of debt some people get into over Christmas. he paused, and answered, the Christmas they are celebrating, is not the one that i celebrate.
  15. How to ferret hedgerows, is one of the more popular threads,, as they are all different, some have a fence at the back, some a fence through the middle, there's a lot of different methods when dealing with hedgerows, but all the ferreting dvds or on Youtube, seem to be about ferreting moorland, where its a case of a dog marking, and the purse nets being put on, rabbit bolting, maybe time someone like Simon Whitehead put up a dvd of all methods when dealing with hedges.
  16. sad news, same happened with my young Whippet, appears a common fatal injury, caught the rabbit down the bury, and went over.
  17. Have a look at the thread Leather net bags, have put a photo up with what I use, a seamstress made it, it was not expensive, you can design it anyway you want, and what hard wearing material you want to use.
  18. a seamstress made this years ago, goes round the waist, holds plenty nets.
  19. Northern Lad i have one, but hardly used it, its as stiff as a board, does a wash soften it a bit, or do you just have to give it plenty wear?
  20. had the pleasure years ago seeing Phil Lloyds Bitch Speckle, on a wee mooch, Cattle dog X Greyhound, was very impressed, theres quite a bit about the cross in Phils books.
  21. one of the local golf courses i go on, has a new fence, double stranded barb on top, but a foot and a half behind it is the old fence with a single strand on top, a bad un, mines is just a rabbiting dog, and i would rather the bunny escaped, and he will take me back to the bury its popped down, and i can ferret it, rather than have vet bills, usually when a rabbit goes through a fence, it will escape anyway, unless it was open ground.
  22. Theres lots of choices out there, i think although its great to see a dog bowling them over, when it comes to ferreting a marking dog is a priority, a good marker will save time, and put far more rabbits in the bag, some of you may know, I prefer the beddy cross, always found them to have a good nose, but most dogs will mark, in fact i know a toy Poodle that will mark occupied burys, A farm i go to is putting out in lamb sheep out in his fields, and wont be wanting a dog on, my ferreting mate suggested we ferret it without a dog, but that's a no no for me, I could not imagine ferreting witho
  23. why doesn't someone put up the phone numbers of Company Directors, of the worst culprits, and then we can all phone them, at different times of the day, and see how they like it.
