    Fascinating creatures to watch when their hunting, sometimes they roll around in a crazy fashion which seems to draw the rabbit into an almost hypnotic state and when near enough they race in and a bite to the back of the neck and bingo, ive witnessed this on two occasions, and for their weight they must be the most ferocious hunter we have in the wild. On one occasion whilst ferreting in an old chalk quarry i came upon a rabbit about ten feet in front of me, all of a sudden it started to scream, and in a flash a weasel jumped on it, i ran over to it and the weasel shot into some rocks and

    Why the rush if you have had the dog from a pup then you should know when to enter the dog to work, thats your part in the training process, 8months ffs let the dogs bones and joints develop. You should have a dog for around a decade for work why bugger it up in its infancy.

    On my local radio the other day was a discussion about rural crime, and guess what reared its ugly head the misunderstood sport of hare coursing Of course it was loaded in favour of the uneducated public that know all about these things, rural crime being lamping, ferreting or just mooching. Not crimes like diesel theft, stealing quads or any other farming equipetment, so i rang the radio station and was asked what i was going to ask, guess what after half an hour on the phone, i was told there was not enough time for me to ask the question, ooh what a surprise. Fact is these days we are b

    Following on from ww2 bunker thread, there was a piece in my local village rag about the hidden locations of the places where these guys operated from, and the headquarters was in the underground boiler house of a large country house, which border the school i went to, a place where we would twag certain lessons. In those days we were completely unaware of the signifigence of this building. Apparently the whole platoon was nearly killed when someone closed the air vents without informing anyone, the owner of the house was the local GP and was on hand to sort the problem. The location of the se

    Friend of mine has an anderson shelter in his garden, and we were talking about it in the pub one night when an old guy we know joined in the conversation. He told us that during the war him and his brother aged 6, he himself was 8 years old, were walking down the street when a german plane came tearing down at low level and opened fire at anyone who happened to be there. They both scattered and a couple of minutes later a spitfire came over after jerry, anyway he could find no trace of his younger brother, and after searching for a couple of hours. the locals found him cowering terrified, in

    Very sad at such a young age, great player, christ would you like to have been in the unenviable position of trying to stop him.

    You hear it all the time people say the same about whippets, fact is the greyhound is the main building block in lurcher production, neither the grey or the whippet are as fragile as some would have you believe, as said the speed of them and the high prey drive can cost them dearly. As for working a pure grey it would not be my choice, a lurcher is a more versatile canine. YIS KIC.

    BBC 1 9pm looks like a decent documentary. Attenborough narrating should be worth a look.

    Ive always been a fan of collie blooded lurchers, truth is they have been around for a long time, and will be around when other types fall out of fashion. They have an army of critics, quite a few who have never actually owned one, but feel they have the right to give everyone the benefit of their inexperience. No they arent the perfect dog for every task, but in some cases they come pretty damn close.

    Had one like johnny kingdoms. till someone took a shot at it, thought sod that and got rid.

    I remember lugging a car battery round in an ex army bag, chrome car spotlight for a lamp, it was bloody hard work youd end up sweating like a pig after an hour of that. Also remember walking down the street with a 12 bore so long as the barrels were broke police didnt bother you, christ today youd have a chopper over your head and red dots all over you, good days. before everyone became a self appointed keeper,

    Is the goverment closing the steel industry, answer is no, decisions are made in brussels by EU ministers not the spineless wasters in the ETON boys club, cameron could have reduced the redundancies by awarding british contracts to british workers, but is powerless to do so because of EU stratergy. Ruining communitys doesnt matter, cow toing to chinks and our natural enemy france, seems to be in fashion.

    Local lad nagged me to take him and his dog with me, anyway id slipped my dog on a rabbit which came running straight down the beam towards me my dog was about 2feet behind it when it was about 30 feet from me i heard him say go on lass and he slipped his dog fortunately the inevitable collision was only slight as the hit the side of each other. The collision of my fist on his chin was harder, needless to say that was the first and last time we ever went. YIS KIC.

    A guy i know has just been sacked by a mate of mine who employed him for 17 years, because of his drunken aggression, wanting to fight anyone who crossed his path or happened to be looking in his direction, when sober he was great at his job, but has a problem with his hearing, which manifests itself in the pub when he gets it into his head that people are taking the piss, because half the time he cant understand whats going on but refuses to get a hearing aid because in his mind he does not have a problem its the rest of us that have, point is drunks can be a real pain in the arse if regularl

    Great bone structure built like a little brick shithouse, good luck looks a cracking pup.

    Never seen one that could match a lurcher in the field, most have a suicidal prey drive that usually ends in grief. best used as the main building block in lurcher production IMO some may disagree.

    As said lurcher is a beautiful word, means THIEF bit insulting really.

    Got a ferreting mate whos a traveller, guy is as sound as a pound,. but he warned me off certain members of his family in his words you cant trust them as far as you could throw them, Thing that gets me is the amount of shit and rubbish they leave behind, local council then has to clean up, and us joe soaps get the bill in the form of a community charge, bit of a piss off really,

    Its a good job hitler remained in power for the duration of the war, he was probably the most inept military leader the germans possesed, attacking russia as he did he commited the cardinal sin of stretching the german armies lines of communication to breaking point, the russians were no saints but the red army was the main force in defeating the germans. Had rommel been in full control of the axis forces things may have turned out very different.

    Classic comedy the three ronnies barker, corbett , and pickering, nearly pissed myself laughing. Lovely estate bransholme, where the milk floats have a rear gunner, and you have to nail everything down to stop it being nicked.

    Does not surprise me in the least, all gamefairs have been going down the same route for years now, most are glorified car boot sales these days. Attended driffield game fair on saturday it was more like a craft fair, no lurcher events and very little else, plenty of psuedo hunters walking round in 70 degree temp dressed in harris tweeds , sweat rolling off them. The old style hunt shows were far better, think ill be giving them a miss from now on.
