  5. Hmmmmm? I don't want to ruin too much of the craic for this weekend...but as a pre-empt, the fella in question now has a dwarf hamster called Drago to go with his little fluffy hand bag pooch... plus those pink trousers.... f**k he's changed lol

  9. Very droll...love it lol
  10. That's a cracking pike your lad is holding mate
  11. Completely agree mate, had my kids out as soon as they could walk, fishing, hunting, foraging, motor bikes, making ripe swings, swimming in the river and sea, building dens in the woods, camp fires, catapults, air rifles... they've done and do everything I did as a kid... but... as young adults they don't have that bug I had, Fin has his fishing gear in his car, we fished on the rocks for bass on Sunday evening, but he hasn't been since...I'd of been out every evening at his age with this weather etc... it was an obsession for me (still is to be honest), I just think it's different for the maj
  12. I read it about 6 times, but seriously had no.idea, I thought it must be some new code for summer hunting??

  14. You can turn up any time mate, I'll let Mary and Emma know that you'll be late and we'll keep the front gate open.. sure there'll be a few of us sat around the fire with a beer to welcome you anyway! lol No worries on bringing a pup, mines been coming since she was 12 weeks old! lol
  15. She thinks she's still 4 mate, unfortunately her body is starting to remind her she's ten... we'll have a f**k about again this season, nothing too strenuous but enough to keep us both happy..
  16. Brilliant that mate... How many traditions must have been lost now? its sad to think we maybe the last generation to remember these types of traditions and more so still participate.. I've tried to show the kids as much as possible growing up, but none has the real bug for hunting and fishing I did as a youngster, it's pretty much all I thought about lol.. Fin will go fishing a fair bit to be fair, right into his spinning for bass at the minute, had a half decent one last week in Cornwall.
  17. This has all ended now, we got out on the last season with this crew, the old boy who ran this boat is no longer with us, lived into his 90s a family friend as my mum grew up in Topsham and we were all from a mile up river in Countess Weir... My mums family worked the river like this for over 50 years, my Uncle Den is still about 93 now and fit as f**k, has 4 ferrets a couple of chickens and was still wildfowling 2 years back... i saw him 2 weeks ago as I picked an old Vauxhall Frontera up from him, he needed it gone was his old dog truck.. Fin (my lad) is thinking of doing it up and putting i
  18. Mad how quick it goes mate.. yeah Jim done a great job on that litter, 13 pups and they were all in top nick.. cost me a holiday in west coast Scotland before the trip over to Arbroath, the kids didn't know we were getting a pup, they were going mad when the pups came running out lol Jim's a top lad, we stayed the day with him, he made us scones with cream and jam because we were up from Devon, had dinner with them, then done an overnight drive from Arbroath to Exeter...luckily the pup was worth the trip..lol
  19. Good read lads... good input in the main. She's 10 now, whins Rex (SalxGrey/Whip) to Haymins bith Mist (Bull x).. She's done a bit of everything other than around holes over the years, pretty much done what it says on the tin.. no world beater but a good honest dog who's been a pleasure to own..
