Jack Daniel's and coke for me. only problem is, once i start drinking it, i usually can't stop. my bro & his girlfriend got me a litre for crimbo, i'm quite impressed i haven't finished it yet. it can make me quite hyper, and pretty full-on. if i'm drinking JD, the party has to go on all night. if everyone else flakes out? i wake the lightweights up! if i'm down my local i'll usually have a couple of pints of Buffy's bitter. can't risk going OTT on the JD, cos i live 8 miles from the nearest decent pub, so i gotta drive home (no one to drive me, unfortunately...) if i'm having a dr

suicide bombing gone very wrong (or right, depends how you look at it) or washed his shorts in the wrong detergent....

i don't advise using any of stabs' phrases! well, you might want to... whatever tickles your pickle!

didn't have time to go down today, dog cut one of his toe pads open, had to patch him up before i went to work. i'll pop down there tomorrow though. well, today, as it's gone midnight.

yeah, i did that too! helping my grandad dig the flowerbeds when i was little... was about to shout out "look at this big bit of chalk i found!"... till it fell apart... the whole debate with my friends was sparked when we were watching "Life on Mars", and at the beginning of one of the episodes, DI Sam Tyler & DCI Gene Hunt pin this guy down in the street to arrest him, and Sam looks next to him, sees a bit of white dog turd and says "white dog shit? takes me back..."

--> QUOTE(john b @ Jan 25 2007, 03:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ossie - have a look at this thread - there's a bit of a discussion about licenses and info on identification kits which are available FOC http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...showtopic=17846 cheers for that john! i love eating crayfish, but i'm buggered if i'm gonna buy piddly little ones at supermarket prices when there's hundreds of nice fat ones for the taking!

wow, he's a stunner! if i wasn't having a pup bred for me, i'd have him like a shot. just out of curiousity, how old is he?

hahaha! bloody hell! nice to know i'm not the only person who ponders these bizarre little problems!

the village i grew up in is a veritable magnet for odd wildlife. plenty of pied blackbirds, and the elusive giant brown & white rabbits. the rabbits were kinda my fault... me & dad used to cross french lops with new zealands to produce monster meat rabbits to put in the local auction. we had a fair few escapees back in the days before we had our feral cat population, and i'm guessing a few must have survived & bred with the wild population. one of my friends in the village had her mum up to visit, the poor woman thought she'd lost it when the first 2 wild things she saw were a pied

well, ordinarily i'd put a shot like that down to a clever photshop job - but grass is a bugger to 'shop... the position of the leg is bugging me too - it's just too upright. with that degree of damage, surely it would flop over in one direction or t'other... and if he was fighting something off, the arms would be pretty stated too. most perplexing. just did a bit of googling for some info, but i found this instead... woman attacked with chihuahua and this site is just class!

how do you tell the difference between native crayfish & the invaders? i don't wanna get done for eating the wrong ones!

one of our bottom fields is under a foot and a half of water, i saw a rabbit doing backstroke this morning... moorhens are loving it though!

i wonder if your foot would change direction if you hadn't already been told that it would? ah, the power of suggestion...

here's something that has caused a bit of a debate amongst me & some of my friends... white dog shit. you just don't see it anymore. when i was little, every pavement had a bit. under any hedge, on any road, there it was. now, you hardly ever see it. the debate is - why don't you see it anymore? we have a few theories on this: 1. you gotta clear up the shit otherwise you get fined (and dirty looks). so maybe it takes time to go white, and it doesn't get the time nowadays. 2. (my theory) people don't give their dogs bones to chew. when my boy has a new bone, he shits white. 3. dog f

care advise for pup with broken leg
Ossie replied to brokenleg's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
some terriers get displaced kneecaps, it's quite common apparently. my dad has a 14 year old bitch who has it. she walks normally, skips on one back leg when she trots, and runs on 3 legs! it's never seemed to bother her though, most dogs are fine with it. -
actually, thinking about it, if i could really have any dog... i'd have my first lurcher Black Jack Davy again. he was stunning, a 29 1/2" black saluki x grey with huge floopy ears, could jump a five bar from a standstill without any effort. he'd take anything, he'd have followed my dad to the ends of the earth. one of my dads friends gave him to us just after my little brother was born. they were selling the pups in the pub, they got a round in everytime one went. when the got down to the last one, 13 rounds later, dads friend said "here, take that one home for your little girl". i was only

no worries, i'll pop in on my way to work tomorrow.

was thinking the same millet and me a good tattooist will cover the tattoo with vaseline when it's done, and tell you to do the same for a couple of weeks. it keeps the skin soft & stops big scabs forming, which are easier to knock off, damaging the tattoo. i've got 3 tats, and my god! the difference in colour between the one that wasn't vaselined & was just left to scab, and the 2 that were vaselined! the one that was left is patchy as hell, and itched like nothing i've ever known when the scabs were coming off... :wacko:

they've got a showroom in my town, 10 minutes from me, i can pop in & check the kettle out for you if you like Molly? i grew up with open fires & woodburners, i'll soon be able to tell you if it's up to the job.

bulls eyes! ooh! and chocolate ciggies! i didn't think you could get them anymore! that's a damn handy link, they've got loads of diabetic stuff, and one of my friends is diabetic with a sweet tooth... prezzies for him methinks! nice one DS! :thumbs-up:
-
i know what you mean DS. dunno what i'd do without my boy... i live on my own, it's just me, him and the cat most of the time, can't even begin to imagine what i'd do without him. on a smaller scale, i have a couple of ferrets that i got as babies, and kept them as housepets when i first got them. they're my little babbies... i've had them for 3 years now. i left my best friend looking after them while i went to reading & leeds festivals. on the saturday night she'd managed to not get the top on their run properly, so she put a load of wood on top to keep it down. but we all know how

well, took Gyp out for a run this morning, tried out some of the tips! he belted off after a rabbit, then spotted a squirrel & tried to climb a tree... called him back, but rather than the usual firm command, i pitched my voice up a bit, and he did come back a bit quicker. i guess i sometimes forget that my voice is kinda deep for a girl, so the tone of my "here" isn't a million miles off my "no". gonna give aniseed balls a whirl too, thank god there is a traditional sweetshop in town, otherwise i'd have a hell of a job finding them! i just gotta get over my aversion to the smell... used

My Dogs turning into Micheal Jackson
Ossie replied to Fletcher's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
i did a quick google search for you, the only thing that seems to match is a condition called "Discoid lupus erythematosus". it only affects the nose & face, causes depigmentation of the nose. did the dog receive get scratched, or did the scar just appear? might be worth a trip to the vets, just in case. http://www.vetinfo.com/dencyclopedia/delupusdisc.html -
when i started eating meat again after ten years off it, i started with roadkill. then i got the dog
