    Sinéad O'Connor has offered to sing the Prince classic at Barry Chuckle's funeral. Nothing Compares 2 me 2 you.

    Thanks for posting Doug, the pup's coming on well

    When I moved into my country cottage, I was told that the deeds entitled me to graze animals. So I've been dragging pigs behind my motorbike.

    Where I used to live there was a local wet fish shop, and I would often buy conger cutlets and get him to throw in a bunch of parsley. Used to keep the skin on (nice and gelatinous once cooked) remove the bones just leave the main spine bone. Parsley sauce, buttery mashed potatoes, fresh peas and grilled tomatoes... food of the gods. Unfortunately there are no wet fish shops around here now.

    My bloke used to play with a poodle in the local park and they both got on really well, just shows all dogs are different.

    ALL dogs have the potential to be aggressive towards other dogs and/or people, not just Staff's. I would say that if any dog shows any sign of aggression then it should be muzzled. I have encountered lots of dog aggressive dogs and NONE have been muzzled, some were off the lead, and only one of those was a Staff, and I launched that one with a boot to the ribs. My dog has been attacked more than a dozen times in his 3 years and 9 months, mostly from smaller terrier types who all get the order of the boot. Only once did my dog retaliate and that was a bulldog which tried to have his neck. My bl

    The harness does serve a very useful and practical purpose. Coupled with one of those seat belt clasps it is about the safest way to transport a dog, any dog, in a car. You don't really want a dog mooching about loose in the car for obvious reasons, and it is safer to clip to a harness than to a collar in the event of collision or sharp braking you could snap the dog's neck using a collar. I had mine hand made by aecollars, plain black thick hide with heavy gauge solid brass buckles and loops (think it was about £65), an excellent bit of kit. Had a plain black thick hide collar made at the sam

    Just had a trawl through an old forum and the size bulb used was 40 watt, NOT 60 watt. HTH
  10. Mister Gain
    To be honest I can't remember, probably a 60 watt, but remember it's there for heat and a lot of bulbs nowadays are not incandescent type so other bulbs might not be quite so warm. You need a bit of airflow whilst trying to keep the flies out, hence the green mesh and the holes.
  11. Mister Gain
    Haha, with the heat from one light bulb. Mind you it doubled up well for curing chorizo and salami.

    Made a rather elaborate biltong box some years back which worked well. Only ever made beef biltong though but can't see why woodies wouldn't work well. Would be interesting to see the results.

    Almost 3 years ago when me and the wife were out in Aussie, my son treated us to a meal to celebrate our 40th anniversary, in Nikko's Taverna so... Greek. For a starter I tried the pickled octopus salad and it was superb. Thought I would have a go at replicating it, but due to a lack of octopus I tried it with squid tubes. It was almost there but not quite. I messaged my son a picture of it and he said he recalls the big lumps of garlic in it, and plenty of them. I amended the recipe with said garlic and am now just waiting for it to pickle. Photo is the one I sent him prior to

    Same as terryd says, stuffed. Last lot I made were actually cucumbers stuffed with sausage meat with some sage and onion stuffing added dry, to mop up the juice from the veg.

    Plenty or warrens to go at Doug, spoilt for choice, enjoyed the video cheers.

    Get it up mate, your stuff's always worth a look.

    I never used to react too badly to mozzie bites but as I'm an old fcuker now I react quite badly. Got a mozzie bite on the forearm 2 weeks ago and ended up with an arm like Popeye, then thurs and fri mornings got done by tiny midges (same arm) it's so red and hot you could fry an egg on it, even antihystomin doesn't ease it, horrible fcuking things.

    Yesterday afternoon's scenes were remarkable, drunk men openly sobbing and crying, women and children jumping up and down screaming and shouting, but that's enough about Scotland. Well done England on reaching the semi's.

    Sod that, I got claustrophobic in an MRI scanner at the hospital, told them to get me out now . They said about 50% of people get it with the closed MRI scanner. Was OK with the open MRI

    Glad you mentioned the mushrooms Arry as I did have some but forgot to list them. I kept it 'light' by not having any tomatoes. A photo would have been easier I suppose.

    It's got to last until this evenings BBQ of marinated pork medallion kebabs, but I do have some cooked belly pork from yesterdays BBQ which were marinated in Chinese red pork seasoning, in case I get peckish. I'm determined to get into those oversized jeans I bought last year.

    Mine went down the hatch at 0630 after I'd been out with the piss sniffer. 2 Fried eggs 2 Rashers of smoked back bacon 2 Slices of fried bread and one slice of buttered 1 Slice of black pudding Sliced and fried potatoes left over from yesterday Half a tin of Heinz beans followed by strawberry trifle....

    Always fancied curing some nice thick back fat as 'Lardo', but never got around to it, mainly because the pigs seem to be bred lean.
