No need for PLI or RAMS? Just need dogs?

Intelligent, articulate, class, style. He proved that you can rise to the top in UK politics without having any of those qualities.

I had intended to watch the fight. Had some daft hope that Iron Mike still had 1 last great fight left in him and would show some of the devastating power and controlled aggression that he used to have. But apparently not. I say apparently as I fell asleep on the sofa before the fight started. I don't know what time I nodded off but when waking up 6ish discovered that my glasses had fallen from my face and onto the floor, only realising when I stepped on them. Also before falling asleep had taken delivery of an Indian takeaway. Mutton tikka starter, chicken vindaloo, plain pilau ric

You never loose your punch or They never come back Should be interesting.

A sad situation but lovely eulogy, I should be so lucky that someone writes anything as good when I pop me clogs. Seemed a proper terrier character and lucky too, even though dealt a bad hand early days ended up being given a good quality of life with decent people. RIP.

One of the 1st terriers that I seen worked was a dog called Flint. Long backed, bent legged Sealyham type that was taller at the back than at the front with a head like the proverbial bucket. Beautiful to my eye at the time. Well named but chosen not as a poetic connotation to hard microcrystalline quart but after the character that James Coburn played in a film that was often on the TV.

If you're looking for names with a British connection then some of our rivers have good terrier names. Tyne, Tweed, Clyde, Dart, Dee etc. There's loads of them.

It's just some nonsense regarding aboriginal Australians but funny when all the PC stuff backfires on people. Live by the sword, die by the sword

Turns out he's a proper Nazi and his latest book has been banned by the PC police always thought he was a c**t! I will task one of the youngn's at work tomorrow to source me few copies if any are still available, not that I'm a Nazi, but banned/withdrawn books are only ever going to go up in value

The Wheaten x EBT pics, lovely looking dog. I've never seen a 1st cross. The before and after shaved pics, a wolf in sheep's clothing, would be a handy type to teach uneducated dog owners to keep their rescue shelter sourced curs on the lead

9" or under?

Bring back the toy poodle/cocker spaniel composites. That's all I used to see round here post Covid after years of conflict with owners of dog aggressive labs and such. Loved the cock-a- poos. Even if they had a go they could be easily kicked into touch or flipped by a terrier. The trend seems to be going back to bigger dogs now. Got 4 problem dogs/owners on the go now: A very large show type Stafford but possibly AB blood - do you know his breeding? He's a rescue. Is he OK with other dogs? He's rescue (FFS!) An EBT - are you sure he's OK with other dogs? He's a rescue. A G

Whippets, thickets and working dog classes
eastcoast replied to Luckee legs's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I was going to try and think of something clever, and get into a silly THL nonsense exchange of words. You almost got me. Did you say your Hail Mary's and make a good Act of Contrition? No matter. One the 1st lurchers that I seen run got killed when a hare took her across a motorway. She kicked the hare up a few fields way but it was good hare and a good bitch. We were young. Seen many foxes take hounds down the same route but most were controlled. Seen a clever rat avoid the easy option of going to ground and run across a usually quiet road just a car was passing and a terrier -

Hope there's no hare or fox on the ground. Me being a boring hardinger of doom... just a bit close to a main road. -
Me and a few friends have something similar to the What You Drinking Tonight that's on here. I took a picture of tonight's tipple (early afternoon actually) just as Newcastle were awarded a penalty. I praised Gordon last week for having the courage to step up, but I knew he wasn't going to score this 1 :-), but he's still a bairn and even Shearer missed the odd 1. I enjoyed the game though as an example of how far my club have came in few years. Often I have been envious of Everton as an EPL staple. Always staying up, having decent domestic cup runs, usually finishing mid-table. During mo

My retired next door neighbour cuts mine. Which is nice. But the trade off is I have to put right all his bodged DIY projects

What about the Eurovision Song Contest?

Thank you, I didn't know that.

Possibly the antithesis of this thread but the decline of fish and chip shops. I have seen the decline of them, not in number but in quality. Often thought it would be a viable side line, charging a bit more but offering quality fish and chips. I did witness the decline of genuine quality fish and chip shops, take-a-way only, hold their own when others sold out to the kebab/pizza/crap fish and chips. But they took the money and ran. I suppose I've just answered my own question. How is it possible to turn such simple but potentially delicious ingredients and make them so bland by the process of

Something just pinged in my brain, I've never been to Israel but was once on route. Newcastle were playing there and I had a ticket. Cannot remember why but the flight had a stopover at Dublin airport for a few hours. I went for a pint in town and bumped into a friend and ended up staying in Dublin for a week so never went to Israel. This is what pinged, how come they play in European football competitions and enter the Eurovision Song Contest?

It will not remain there as a untapped resource. At some point some one will mine it, but as much as hate to write this, it probably will not be us.

Our coal mining industry did not come and to an end because we had ran out of coal to mine. I honestly do not think that there is another country in the world that would not be utilising the vast reserves that we have in the name of saving the planet, certainly not those that we are spunking £billions on to help them reduce their carbon footprint. Utter madness, so many conflicts have been fought, and are still being fought (I think there's oil in the middle east) for that kind of resource. I don't think Margret Thatcher had any idea of the monster that she was creating in this country w
