I've always thought that Tidline books provided a great service to us common hunting lads. Reprinting some books that at one time would only be available to those who could afford a 1st edition, even if one could be found for sale in days before tintnet.

I borrowed Rebecca from the library many years ago but do not own it. The fact that I do not own the book would suggest that none of the lads from my estate stole it from the library. I believe the lurcher in this postcard is Rebecca. Found it in an art gallery in Bradford and bought on the quiet during a day spent trying to impress a girl who was a LACS supporting art student. Happy days.

I used this to sign into a new site I've found, Romanian Girl Gardeners XXX, worked a treat.

Now that's shame. Proper biting-the-head-off bat shit crazy rocker, but with the talent to create great music. R.I.P.

A sad topic but illustrated with beautiful pictures. Seeing your Gypsy from a pup, developing into an adult and then into dotage, with a loving bairn growing with her throughout the years. Very poignant.

Looks like expensive proper bought in an art shop paper.

I have no idea. Just sharing pictures from old book.

Most breeds of dog come in the merle these days, it's what the customer wants. Just a case of saluki breeders playing catch up after millennia of producing boring colours.

I'm sure this was probably a private joke between members rather than a genuine request but...

This is the Lurchers & Running dogs section of the Forum. Not a place for politics, religion or football.

Celtic are in the mix. Have a 2 leg play off and if successful will enter the actual Champion's League, could well meet Newcastle as we are already in it. Still, we were proper shite today.

Let's See Your Phone Shots !!

Gents, I know this is a photography thread not insect ID but also aware that there are some very knowledgeable people on here, anyone know what this is? Crap photo from me as usual but couldn't get any closer as it was top of a wall on a stair. Very chunky and ragged wings so very moth like but I was once told that moths cannot fold their wings at 90 degree to the body, only butterflies can do that. Odd to find a butterfly indoors. -
The hare and the moon, love it.

I was going to like that as a nice vignette but you made a point of your hosts' wife having nice tits. No perverts? What was catching your eye and you remember all these years later?

The lemonade bloke sounds bitter.

Even if it was pay to view? Power lies with the military, something that we have lived in blissful ignorance of for many years. The UK has been the most stable nation in the world since General Monck greeted an exiled king on a beach. The rest of the world could only look on in envy throughout the centuries since. Have we really lost it?

I only tuned in today to see if the Newcastle deal for Ekitike had been done, apparently not. f**k him, he will regret turning down Newcastle in a few years time. And the change in voting age thing popped up. My opinion is that this confirms that we have the most incompetent and dysfunctional government since its formation after the head was chopped off Charles l, they are aware of their unpopularity and rather than have a plan to improve things they resort to widening the demographic of voters to those who may be more easily influenced. Who knows, their last desperate act may end in chopping

I'm not saying that kids are stupid, I manage the development of apprentice sparks, plumbers and fitters. Actually most of them are stupid. But most of them grow up eventually, as I did. It's not those types of kids whose votes Labour are banking on. Clarkson said 6th formers, G B Shaw termed it middle class morality.
-
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this but the voting age is to be reduced to 16 by the next general election. I was never interested in politics, not through apathy or ignorance but more that at an early age came to the conclusion that no matter which party is in power they are not going to give the working class anything. Whether you sink or swim is up to yourself. That changed when New Labour took control as they starting taking things away. Following years of incompetence by the Conservatives that party are calling the shots again. Jeremy Clarkson summed it up as 6th former pol

Looks like an airbrushed Shane McGowan... go on Jack P.S. None of them dogs were F1 hybrids other than the Beddy/whippet IMO

A typical fascinating 1 was on the lost practice of threshing corn. Jack started with, these days it is often said that civilisation is on the threshold of destruction, then went on to explain where the term threshold came from. This was the 1980's and that was what we were being told by the media. If nuclear armageddon (the Cold War) didn't end us then drug addiction would (heroin) , but no matter what, having sex would kill us (AIDS). We just ignored it and cracked on.

Often I think he was just repeating stuff that he had been told growing up and perhaps had not much practical knowledge of? But, give me that over Country File any day! I also used to love watching him on How, tea time on ITV.

Just yesterday I was reading about the 2nd Opium War between us and China. It kicked off when the Chinese boarded a British ship called the Lorcha. I immediately thought it must have been owned by a Geordie but reading further the vessel was called the Arrow and a lorcha is term given to a hybrid trading vessel incorporating aspects of both European and Chinese design.

I've been recording Out of Town. With fresh eyes 40+ years on was maybe remembering it through rose coloured glasses, still enjoyable though. The Holy Grail was on last week, Coney Dogs. Jack informed us that most dogs that are referred to as lurchers these days (1980's) are nothing more than mongrels. A true lurcher can only be a F1 hybrid between a greyhound and another breed that has nose and brains, because the pure greyhound lacks both There was then footage, brilliant footage, of the dogs of Len "Ginger" French, all F1 hybrids. 1 by 1 the various true lurchers were called out into a pa
