  1. Ronnie Wood singing, he done a much better job than Rod on this track...
  2. Seen things done every which way over the years, with differing results. Had plod catch us bang to rights, sat under a hedge squeeking. Told em to shush and get down, as a fox was coming in, so they did (!!!), and hung around to see the run, which (thankfully) was a miss, but they were fascinated. And though I've always gone down the 'diplomatic' route, I've got mates who've torn into them with vengeance, and gotten away with it. As McH says, never admit to anything, find any alternative to your real activity, give them nothing. Worked for me for my first three trips to Orm

    IN-LAWS

    My inlaws were polar opposite from my parents. My parents were the sort that 'nothing' was too much trouble, 'salt of the earth' types. No matter how my mother was, even in her final week in hospital, asking how she was, the reply would always be " Smashing, how's Lilly-May" (my daughter) My inlaws, though very nice, very much had their own lives. The father in law (ex police and publican) had moved to Portugal years before, and came for the odd visit, and we did go over a few times, but nothing too involved. The mother in law was a lovely person, glamorous and ditzy, i honestl
  4. This year, Sungold, Roma, Alicante & Rio Grande The sungold have grown like mad, over 6ft now, so the question is, take the top off, or train them along the top wire...
  5. Oo... Not tried em in a G&T, but will be doing now..! Grew them along the floor last year but thought I'd try em up the string. Those photo's are over a week old, and everything is far more advanced. Especially that cucumber, flowers and fruit all over it.
  6. My little self-made greenhouse is flying now. As are my outside toms.
  7. The badger act 'was' the only law...
  8. Depending on the area, if it's 'known' or not, then it's dog types, dress, a thermal, binoculars etc. They don't really care, if something 'fits' then they will try and pin it. For them, if nothing else, they will just feck your operations up for a season, till its concluded, one way or another....
  9. I believe the 'going equipped' law started right here, from local kids on their way to run Altcar estate. They got nicked crossing Lunt Lane, dogs thermal etc. Went to court, no brief, an 'example' to be made, and they changed the law. We now have regular patrols along the roads that surround the estate, looking for those equipped. Lunt Lane is the last road between North Liverpool and Altcar, as well as daily road patrols, they sit day and night over the two footbridge crossings. Thing is, as McH says, if you've got your wits, and you think one step ahead, it's just business as usual.
  10. We really need to get away from using terms like 'the slop', or 'land where it matters'... All land matters, your all just playing into the hands of some... And it really doesn't make a blind bit of difference where you hunt your chosen quarry, if you can kill your game on the land your hunting, whatever it may be, well then your fecking hunting, and don't let anyone tell you any different...
  11. Just took 10 mins to open this thread...
  12. How can you tell if a Wigan bird has an orgasm... She drops her pie...
  13. As I said, they are not the same hounds, and almost all of the owners are involved with their local hunt. It's just a fun summer sport to get them out on the fells.
  14. There's some shit chatted on that Facebook site to sell shit puppies...
  15. Your right Gunter, world's apart, BUT for many, me included, it really is a good watch. Maurice Bell, the old Wensleydale huntsman, had hound racing at his 'day in the dales' shows. I used to love watching the hounds go out, then see them moving as swift white specks over the top of the fells, whilst your also watching the dogs ringside. And finally the race down, to the rattle of buckets. It really was a sight. Many of the owners/racers are hunt supporters, and walk puppies for their local hunt, but kennel and race their own trail hounds as a similar, but separate entity. I've
  16. I'm not the biggest fan of a carvery, I really don’t like the 'school dinner' way of self service, and hoping the jobsworth 'chef' is generous with the beef (i only ever get beef), then he asks if you want a giant Yorkshire Pud, so as to fill up your plate, to screw you on the meat... No feck off! I want more of what I want, the meat. And the shittyarsed look he gives you when you ask for all the offcut trimmings. Woe betide anyone who asks for them infront of me..!!!! So, i almost always I end up pissed off, and them posh ones are even worse, so it's not the best start to a meal. Th
  17. If anyone needs hoknow a bit more about Trail/Fell Hounds there is a good Facebook page with loads of information and video clips

    Mink man

    I've not seen this before. TBH since he stopped posting here I've not followed his content on SM. Enjoyed that video. Love the fact that he's gone for a full working APBT, and am interested to know what lines it's off. That 'thing' I own and hunt, is a gen half cross working APBT (a working Cocker is the other half), and I can only agree to how good they are as ratters and general knock-about hunters. Ronda's nearly eleven now, but she will still find, mark, dig and kill rats better than any dog I've ever seen. Which is a huge boast, but I've worked and watched ratting dogs for
