    We buy lots of flies here. I get them tied from a geezer in Kenya. I WhatsApp him the patterns, he sends me back his efforts, I say yay or nay. Give him half the dollar for materials, he sends me the order, then I pay the balance by PayPal. Very good arrangement Cuts out the middle men and we both benefit from the deal. Been doing this for about 5 years or so. He does everything from small nymphs to large Pike flies.

    My Fathers day consisted of meeting my son at 3.45am. He was just getting in from a night on the razz after a 10's Rugby tournament and I was reconfiguring blocks of cheddar in the smokery, taking advantage of the last cool spell. No Fathers Day was mentioned and to be honest, it doesn't mean owt to me. Although my Misses will dig him out tomorrow.

    Obviously, there's a whole heap of do's and don'ts. Especially as a few places are non working dog people. By the way, none of my dogs fight. There was only 1 incident and that was with the Mali dog. My sister in laws Kiwi, ex sheep farming husband was walking him and to say he was a bit shocked was an understatement. To be fair and considering the incident, he took it well. He had Huntaway's many moons ago, so very different dogs. Edited to add. the Mali/Bull Lurcher that stayed with the non working dog vegetarians worried me a fair bit. Keeps ya mind on edge eh?

    Done 3 weeks away this May. 13 year old Terrier/Spaniel went to my non dog type friend, cost me a days graft in his garden. My 11 year old Mali stayed with my sister in-law at my place. My well worn 9 year old lurcher went to a vegetarian friend of a friend, cost me £300 and they absolutely loved her, said she was the most well behaved dog they have ever met. The 3/8 5/8 Terrier Spaniel stayed with her brother in a friends house. Finally my two 18 month old Terrier/Spaniel bitches had to stay in my friends working dog kennels, along with 48 Spaniels, various security dogs and half a doze

    novelty value, yes. They are good fun for a little while. Not sure if they'd kill a rat. I shot a Woodie out the window of the truck, on the way back from school with my son. At about 15m or less, I had to chase it and shoot it again. My son at the age of 8 said "its not very good is it Dad" I have never shot anything but targets since.

    SGC. Unless you've got incredibly close pests to control, or the reason I've given below, I wouldn't bother. An air rifle is far more efficient in every way. The only reason I got one, was to teach the children gun safety. It was fun for them to shoot plastic milk cartons that were hung in the trees too.

    Be interesting to know how many were shot. I've been to lots of bits of ground that have been over run with rabbits and have had hundreds running about. sound familiar?

    They are talking about Highways officers. As far as I know, they cant give you a ticket, but I'm happy to be corrected. I do know that they are known as "Dustmen" because they pick up all the rubbish.

    3 weeks in Tobago for me. Fishing, eating , drinking and most other exotic past times for me.

    I do when I get the chance. I'm a bit partial to a half smoked Regal too, lipstick flavour is the best.

    All dogs are happy to share a lounge and all of mine quite often do, in fact I'm sitting here with the oldie and the two pups (in crate obvs) at the mo. My dogs are all loved and I make sure I do the right thing by them and if that means pts for what ever reason, then so be it. I know what I'm doing, I think I have now have working dogs for over 40 years and have seen all dog men types. As I've said before, I've been about. To me it doesn't matter if your a bag chaser, a rosette collector, a hardcore lamper, digger, shooter or owt else, just as long as you care. We are all in this game

    Greenfinches went some years ago. They warned to not feed in the summer, because of the transfer of some disease? We get plenty of Goldfinches and this year we have a good number of Siskins.

    Been here on one of the lakes since Friday. Kent that is.

    The bitch is going to a lad that has a large house on an estate. The bitch will have a fantastic life. The reason she hasn't been pts, is because she would be a good dog for many and she is a nice dog to have around. I am with my dogs all day and they are as good as you can get them. As I said before, you don't know me Bangers.

    A friend of mine had a first cross 20 odd years ago. Was heavy on the turn and would hunt up massively on the lamp. Bit of a nuisance really. It loved a fox, if it could catch one. The Wire Haired Pointer dog used was a bit of an animal and a man biter.

    I had one of the first Leatherman tools, Supertool I think. I was given it 30 odd years ago and had no receipt. I snapped the screwdriver, wrote an email, when emails came about. Sent it off and they sent me back a complete new tool, as there were many worn bits. They did charge me, but it was minimal £20/25 something like that. That Supertool is still going to this day. I myself have a Leatherman Surge now, a much better usable tool. One handed opening knife is a must with me. Got searched once by the Police, the young copper said " oh yeah, what's this for?" I said "how long have

    For your information and it isn't really any of your business. I took the bitch on because someone, a well known dog man died, left a pregnant bitch, I took on one of the pups because my old bitch was 11 and on here last legs. I live on a very large site and have permission as far as I can walk. I work dogs and dogs get past there working days. So new dogs have to be brought in. I have 1 yard dog, 1 ten year old Lurcher, 1 thirteen year old Spaniel x, her pup of 7 years and 2 of her pups 16 months. Then there is the Lurcher that I have given the benefit of the doubt over the last 2 seaso

    I meant good looking women.

    I don't give a feck what people think my dogs look like. Conformation for wear and tear purposes, yes, but that's about it. I suppose I've been lucky in that any litters that I've had, have been wanted before conception. So it don't matter much what they look like. I have a bitch here now, 2.5 years old and the best looking dog out of my 7. It goes to a pet/working home before the end of this month. Some of the best looking birds I've had, have been the worst
