  1. Jesus Christ. I come on here in the hope of seeing a nice picture of a Jack Russell but it's all doom and gloom. We are an island. Whatever little faith I have in the people who are tasked with protecting this island just because it happened in Germany should not, and most likely will not, mean that it comes here.
  2. In regard to pretending that they cannot see you (I deal with this every day even more so now since Tyne Bridge down to 1 lane), easily resolved, lower your window, stick your head out, smile and wave... very few are stoical or ignorant enough to avoid eye contact. You get the eye contact for a brief second, then you're in. Then you say thank you. Them make a point of letting other people in.
  3. Looks like Jonjo Shelvey has parted company with his Turkish club. A strange lad. Blessed with enough natural born talent to play at the top level, when he could be bothered. Days when he could not be bothered you were playing with 10 men.
  4. Cue Simple Man Lynard Skynard (Shinedown did a canny cover)... not taking the piss, always loved that song. I don't have the skills to post videos on here, still a simple man.
  5. I think it was a good grounding for terrier and lurcher lads. The little game that was still around were truly a case of survival of the fittest. Required dogs with good noses and great drive to have any success in those areas of vast overgrown bramble and gorse for little reward. And you cannot train that into a dog, they need to have it in them. You cannot force dogs to do that type of work, they need to love doing it. Taking good numbers on beautiful land in places such as the Scottish Borders or Northumberland is piece of piss in comparison
  6. They already did that and called it the French Bulldog. All a load of nonsense of course but true.
  7. Well, that's unfortunate, but... 1 less
  8. No, it's not that. I am aware of the effects of seasonal changes but the number of the c**ts seemed to have gradually and significantly reduced in the last year.
  9. Yes it peaked then, same with clueless fuckwit dog owners, but they existed in number before Covid.
  10. Where have the cyclists gone? 40 years ago you would never see an adult playing out on a bicycle, other then genuine people keeping fit or "odd balls". I witnessed a rise in the number of cyclists out and about. Reached plague proportions a few year ago. Now they are a rare sight. Have they gone the way of the jogger? Some type of virus from imported Chinese lyrca? Very strange, not complaining though.
  11. I enjoyed 1st and 2nd series. Pleased that on 2nd they do state it is not a history lesson. Daft thing is most of the incredulous things are true. The most poetic licence is how they portrayed Paddy Mayne. 6' 2", the actor looks a lot smaller. And I don't think he was an anti-establishment working class hero as portrayed. A hard as nails great soldier and officer.
  12. I remember the Brococks, just before PCP tech got perfected. Seemed a good idea at the time. Best/worst that I seen was a converted .303 SMLE. A travesty.
  13. The mountains, fields and streams is the cliche, I would add derelict neglected industrial wastelands. Those were/are the places that I've always been happiest in. I used to think that it was because I was out in pursuit of game, and it was/is. But not until I stopped going the those place that I realised that it was not so much the hunting that I missed but the places themselves. Ironically these days areas of outstanding natural beauty are fairly easily accessible, the neglected industrial wastelands seem to have gone and those were the places that were the happiest places to hunt.

  14. SAS: Rogue Heroes season 2 "drops" 1st Jan. Obviously I haven't seen it yet and it's not film but should be worth a watch.
  15. edited to say that she never lost the love.
  16. The poor lass never really knew what she was. But believed in a God. A God being basically love. Nothing to do with religion. Despite the love being battered out of her from an early age.
  17. Shut up man, you've been everywhere
  18. Too much booze, my apologies IWW.
  19. Come on man, chin up. Easier said than done I know. Get yourself a deerhound/greyhound, a better one that Charts!
  20. Panic has just set in. My FAC is due for renewal shortly. I must edit previous post. Just got the whiff of cheap perfume.
  21. Jesus Christ bonny lad, merry Christmas.
