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?

Or, if you don't see pussy you can't see the wood for the trees.

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

1 of those musicians that I always enjoyed without becoming a massive fan as such. Did not know that he had been a scholar, boxer and served in the armed forces, but do now thanks to an earlier post. Makes sense, singing a song well has more to do than just having a good voice. KK could sing a song, tell a story with his voice. The best singers tend to have lived a life. Having said that, always thought Janis Joplin did the best rendition of Bobby McGee. RIP (respect for standing up for a little Irish lass).

Not hard to believe at all, seen it many times. When it comes to catching stuff that favours water my terriers where better than lurchers. Flat grass land with streams below land level? Ducks and geese, minding there own business, my terriers smell or hear them, ducks etc rise and terriers launch themselves and catch them before they have taken off in flight. I once owned a whippet that was clever and brave enough to to do it, never seen a lurcher do it.

NUFC v MCFC, good game today. Best part for me was to see Anthony Gordon take the penalty that he had won. Many older and skilled players on the pitch who could have stepped up but he had the balls to take it himself. I would have been more disappointed if someone else had taken it and scored should Gordon have bottled it or taken it and failed to score. But he took it and did not miss. Love the kid!

Good job they didn't have the internet back then, when the Nazi's were running out of resources if Hitler could have put his lasses knickers up for sale it may have changed the outcome of WW11.

I had a young Russell living in the house whilst bringing him on that did not like getting his feet wet. Slightly annoying to me at the time as I loved to hunt along water, occasionally travelling for mink but usually rat closer to home. Just for the sport. This young terrier was just not happy with water, even pulling up at water when close on a rat and watching my others diving in to catch or at least try to catch. As he was live in most days I would exercise him in the park close by and he would chase and retrieve a tennis ball. One day a little mongrel Russell from the estate sh

Arts and Crafts "style", very nice.

I would never intentionally harm one course. Always regarded them as charming little things. Even before they became a protected species. Hated it when terriers being exercised came across them though, even level headed ones would sometimes kick off in cover with their kennel mates to take ownership of the harmless, inoffensive little ball of spines.

May have some tumbler blood in it way back? Or seen the no dog fouling notice and panicked.
-
No need to de-flea, the ones that live on hedgehogs cannot survive on dogs. Just pick them off off crush :-). Same with rabbits.
-
This is how they could find hedgehogs. Get yourself a Jack Russell. Walk him in the old places that you used to walk and others now do. Try and be friendly with the other dog walkers, let him sniff where the other dogs are sniffing, then crunch and shake, he's found another bloody hedgehog in the cover. Mouth covered in blood from a dozen tiny spine pricks, other dogs and people freaking out, Jack Russell covered in fleas looking very pleased with himself.

230V,50 hz frequency. Same as we have here. Unless made totally of plastic should be have an earth but chopping the existing plug off and replacing with 13A will make it usable, but not compliant. Pulls 8.23 amp max, hence the fuse popping.

It's 02:39 where I am, get some decent tunes up man!
-
OK, I got sound. Very nice, each to their own I suppose. But, if you can do that, could you post AC/DC the last scene of the Great ? Anyone who appreciates good music and enigmatic, beautiful blonde girls may also like it.
-
Couldn't find any sound. ???

I dislike the bloody things. Nice dogs in the right hands with the right people but even the modern low hocked crippled things have a strange attitude to other dogs. Not dog aggressive as such, more regarding dogs smaller than themselves as being prey animals. Something just seems to trigger them. They seemed to die out but now they are back.

Looks fit as F. Pictures can be deceptive but some Bulldog blood in there?

I thought I'd discovered a new hybrid wild species Jesus, probably shot many in the past and put them in the ferret food/dumped feral pile. Not really shooting these days but taking more interest in the birds that I see when just walking the dog. The feathered variety.

On sites Jocks call a chase a raggle, and a nogging a dwang.
