With the seats down...yeah no bother. I had a manual in England and now I've got an auto and it's great. I really didn't want one as I thought it was a tarts choice, but now I've got one I love it. I've had mine off road a few times since I got it and it's a piece of piss. I do still go to change gear with my left hand though If you are getting one, watch the sunroofs as they are shit. My first one I had to seal myself. The one I've got now has two sunroofs and I've just had to get the rear one re-sealed as it leaked. Typical Landy quality Get the right tires on it and use the

Just found some in the offy over here in Australia.....does anyone remember the adverts on telly in the 70's?

I know what you mean Pip

I used to use 3" magnum 36g No.3 steel and found them plenty for my ground

There's plenty of white's been born to coloured parents (michael jacksons?) so it's not surprising to see some...not all that common, but not surprising. Fred Barkers Illfracombe crosses, through Anthony, his boy, then to Sid Wilkinson and through to Middleton....there's the lakey link. And there's the Staffs used too..... Think Tufftpaul's p***y was down from Ice if I remember right. Think both sire and dam came over to Australia.

Had a 2.5tdi for a couple of years and that was bomb proof. Easily the most reliable motor I've ever had. The ES is the top of the range model which is what I've got now...in a V8 and I love it

I used to work with Andy about 15 years ago. He flew birds over the land fills to keep the corvids and gulls off.

Can't really tell mate...as I say it's just coming out of winter so it's like English summer at the moment. We had a b*****d of a storm last night with thunder and lighning but it's about a 25 degree average at the moment. The dog's fine as it's what she's used to. She's heavily pregnant at the moment too so she's puffing and panting a bit..poor lass. Cant' wait until she's dropped and ready to roll again as we've got lots of work to do. She's a bugger when I take her fishing though as she jumps in the river and tries to land my catch before I do

She was turning into a belter.... but as you can see from this pic, she didn't have the size that Lucky's dog has. Suited me down to the ground though

How well does your mate know the lad that ran the farm when he was away ? You can get some idiots that think its funny to set a dog on things , i caught a so called mate trying to set my dog on some cows once . I was lucky to come round the corner when i did and caught him, a bit later it would have been a different story like the dog getting blamed for something that wasnt his fault and PTS . Just a thought not saying it happened this way. The other bloke is his uncle. I think Ferret15 has got the right idea about what happened.

Not that I've seen yet mate, but we are just coming out of winter so I expect I'll be seeing some as it warms up a bit. Saw a Black Snake the other day but that was up the mountain.

Are you looking for a manual? A kind of digging by numbers job? Or a story book/article type affair? There's not many in the former category but there's a few in the latter. One of the first I ever read with a "how to dig" slant was Jeremy Hobson's.....things have come a long way since then.

Just spoken to a mate of mine who's come back from two weeks holiday to find that his two pig dogs have been into one of his potty calves. Now these dogs are broken to everything and share a farm yard with chickens, turkeys, sheep and cows. They were born there and have co-existed peacefully for years. Another bloke came in to run the farm while my mate was on holiday and once he'd gone the dogs got stuck in. My mate is gutted as he would have staked his life on those dogs being 100% broken but it just goes to show. He said that now they've done this he can't look at them the same way and he w

Seems like everyday me and the dog are meeting new species in our travels. We didn't have to go far the other day though as this little fella lives under my house. It was a warm day and he'd come out to sunbathe. I'd seen him before but it was the first time the dog had picked him up. She was very wary, same as when she finds snakes....extremely cautious He was a handsome little chap and very welcome in my garden The dog wasn't so wary when she came across the turtles sunbathing on the rocks in the brook down the road

You crack on with whatever floats your boat mate. I know what I would and wouldn't use

....I think I'd rather use the dog that beat it though

Do you eat them big freshwater Eels in Oz? Yes mate....they get fairly big in my local brook

No she's roughly 50/50 though....she's 5 weeks pregnant at the moment to a track grey

I eat about 3 or 4 eels a week....I love the buggers. Best bait I have found is a punctured tin of tuna in a crayfish trap.

Mine's a decent ferreting dog but she ain't no fox dog...she did her first three but jibbed on her fourth when it bit back
