  1. Probably not asking for advice on a hunting forum would be good advice Find a reputable financial advisor. The 1st question they will ask is how much are prepared to lose? They build a plan around that. No magic money making formula.
  2. Well, just goes to show once again that I know bugger all. Well done Saka, even though I lost track of which positions he was playing in, due to my ignorance of the game. Well done Southgate. Well done England!
  3. Come as You Are - Nirvana. Blasting out in a funeral parlour.
  4. We was f****d and now we are proper f****d. The last Prime Minister to be democratically voted in was Boris. Then we got Truss then the last clown by default. Before that Blair got voted in but Brown and Prescott got the power. The back stabbing knives will already be being sharpened and how long before Corbyn or Abbot becomes the PM of our great country? Au revoir mon ami
  5. ... and ont Sunday our Muthas's and our Fatha's would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah...
  6. Have you've seen what you can buy in France? 3 bed modern conversion farm house with an orchard and carp pool for under £200,000? I hope the political change over there does not curtail my options. Left, right, middle, upside down, up until now they seemed to have preserved a nice country.
  7. Milk rounds, used to get the occasional "ooh err misses" flash. I'm delivering not collecting
  8. That's a good question. I think the main reason that a Bedlington dog was put over a greyhound / whippet or grew bitch, historically, is simply because the latter are more easily obtainable and passed on after the litter has been bred. If you had a Bedlington bitch it made more sense, financially, to churn out pure Bedlingtons with the side line of stud fees for your Beddy sire over greyhounds / whippet etc. Probably not now, I see Beddy x Whippets advertised for more than KC Bedlingtons. Strange days indeed.
  9. Milk round before school, pop bottles on a Saturday, "free papers" after school (to be honest, used to dump most of the "free papers"). Try and tell that to the young folk today, and they won't believe you Paid for my 1st proper terrier though.
  10. I had them, well similar, black frames but with the same sprung metal at the end. Not a good look and painful to wear around your ears. Kept them on your face when playing football though. Wore them through several stages of school life until mam and dad saved up to get me a "designer" pair of frames. They didn't last long and it was back to NH issue until I started to contribute to the cost, paper round etc. It never really bothered me wearing glasses at school. When people called me "specky" I would comment on them being fat or ugly or soft or smelly or thick or whatever and then I woul
  11. Or desperate to be appreciated and valued and dare say it loved. Making the wrong choices with the wrong
  12. All of her lovers all talk of her notes And the flowers that they never sent And wasn't she easy? Isn't she pretty in pink? The one who is insists he was first in the line Is the last to remember her name He's walking around in this dress that she wore She's gone but the joke's the same
  13. Brian Clough, ... to me, scoring goals was just like other boys might regard delivering papers, I did it every day... Southgate, at the moment, has turned goal scorers into paper boys.
  14. Hey, we are where we are.
  15. Usually the response from someone who has f****d up due to their own incompetence and expecting someone else to try and change "what it is" to what it should be in a blameless culture. "No harm done", "let's move on".
  16. I cannot remember being more disappointed with an England team in a final. Short memory of course, topped our group stage so should be nothing to complain about. But the football played given the players that we have. Shocking! My team for next game (based on f**k all football knowledge): Palmer right wing. What do we do with Saka? Don't care, looks like an under 14 playing with seniors. Keep Walker right back. Keep Trippier out of position at left back. Gordon left wing. The kid has so much but an added bonus Trippier has played on the left with Gordon in front of h
  17. Knock on the door last night, just before the England game kick-off. Picked the dog up and opened the door. Some middle aged ginger gurning gimp dressed all in red with a big red rosette (1st in show?) Hiyya! I'm campaigning for ???? your local Labour candidate! That's great, I'll just put the dog away Cool! Right, have you got any blue tack? I was just about to put this in the window He f****d off.
  18. I often struggle with your posts and rarely do they not bring a tear to the eye or a lump in the throat. The fact that you somehow manage to soldier on day after day must truly be an inspiration to us all. You hang on in there kid and remember the words of O'l Blue Eyes And if I don't think it was worth one single try, I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
  19. The 2 bloodied ones look like pure Bedlingtons, as we know Lakie blood improves coat texture and colour. The terrier in the top picture looks it has outcross blood, but obviously it is wrong to make assumptions from a photograph as the camera often lies More power to the man who's grafting them though. The photograph is of my great uncle George Johnson. Apparently he made a bit of coin exporting them to the USA, so I'm related to a dog peddler!
  20. These threads usually get around to the lack of quality working Bedlington terriers available to produce quality lurchers. Was there ever any quality working Bedlingtons available? I've had the pleasure of seeing a few Bedlington x whippets work. Never owned 1, had a good friend who kept them and even allowed me to borrow the ones he owned on occasion. Great rabbiting dogs but none bred from the mythical working Bedlington. The sires of the little lurchers were modern KC stuff. Dogs too big to work as a terrier and bitches a bit too sleight for regular work to ground even if they had the
  21. I've been looking at the same things in the same places. Not on the cards at the moment for me as I commented on another thread so wont bore people again here. I love the street views, no streets, just incredible landscapes . It's madness not to live in such places if a person has the desire to and the freedom and resources to make it a reality. As your post illustrates, you don't need to have won the lottery from the financial aspect but could be winning the lottery from a quality of life perspective.
  22. Had not tried this before but took a punt when spotted doing the weekly shop reduced from £12 to £10. Which probably means it retails for £8 in other places. Very nice though.
  23. All work related but: A flood of plumbers A shock of electricians A narcotic of ceiling fixers A graft of ground workers A slumber of painters An angst of apprentices A bumble of builders A confusion of clients A duplicity of quantity surveyors
