j darcy [bANNED TEXT] a legend that man is and knows his dogs to

i wouldnt say that just because he has wrote a few books and "knows his dogs" he is a legend we could all write a book but most prefer to keep it to themselves

 

 

I think its more than a few stewie, lol... A footballer who scores a few goals can become a legend, so why take it away from the guy who said it, if thats what he wants, then so be it..

 

You say you could write a book, lol. maybe so, and yes people do keep it to themselves but if books werent wrote, how would you and i and others learn. I used to love reading about dogs, fishing, birds, football, etc when i was a kid,(and still do) it would have been pretty boring without a book or two...

 

Maybe because you werent around in those days, it doesnt give you the feeling it does the people who were there... I am not asking you to like the man, or the book... Hope you wouldnt tell a kid that farther christmas isnt real..Atb ..and all the best for the new year.

the same way as i did by getting out there and doing it for yourself not dreaming about it while reading books and i was "there" but with my own dogs and doing my own thing i can remember when i brought "extreme lurcherwork" and i lent it to an old guy i used to work with, he brought it back and his words were "if you young lads think thats extreme, then you need to get out more" i have to tread carefully here as i dont want to get banned (again )over hunting books but i stand by what i said last time books on hunting only give antis priceless information about how its done and for what??? profit?? status?? to be a "legend"?? he even got slated in edrd for the deer poaching chapter in one book that detailed everything about a night poaching deer :doh: and in one book puts a picture of a pitbull up saying they add fire and power to the lurcher when they are banned also he never posts on here about his dogs but knocks out books about them, do we have to pay for the privilege to hear about them :hmm: but the one that really does it for me is when he says be careful about putting pictures on here when his books are full of dead foxes and deer but each to there own and its your money so its your choice and this is just my opinion on a very public matter yes he might be good with a camera and "know his dogs" but he is certainly no legend :thumbs:

 

 

stewie, i wasnt having a go at you earlier and stillarent...

 

You say you were there.... which ones did you go to? forley? calender? etc. or maybe you meant you had been running on the fens when it was legal. Ok, thats good but how do you not get that buzz what is associated with it, when you look at the pics in such detail. When you see the mud clogging up around the dogs feet on every turn, the spins, jumps, twists and flips? surely it must mean something to a guy who was up and at them at 1st light on the massive land, the smell, the mist, the anticipation...

 

And as for the book writing, it is very difficult. We all can write a diary, but to make it appealing to others is very difficult.. I have written short stories, in fishing mags.. and quarterly published books(same size as earth dog running dog) and beleive me you sit there racking your brains, not on what happened, or how it happened but how to make other people want to carry on with your story.... I was asked to write a paragraph in a publication, and basically bottled it and turned it down... I feared i wasnt up to the same level as the other guys in the book and didnt want to make a twat (i know what your thinking, lol) of myself... you seem to rescent Darcy..

 

And in every book i have read of his, he clearly states preban....

f*****g hell you can speak sense sometimes :laugh:

 

i understand what your saying i really do but i just dont see how people can look up to him just because he writes books!!! if i was to put a topic up saying i killed a fox or deer last night with some pictures it would get deleted straight away even if i put the clever "pre-ban" in the post but its ok to publish books full of it and advertise them on here??? ive said my bit russ so im gonna leave it there as ill only get banned again for having an opinion

Ok, i write a few silly books. Big deal!

Buy them, don't buy them.? Your choice guys, i have never forced anyone to buy them, or read them.

And no, i do not post about dog work on here.

If i did i would be called a liar, so then i would have to post pics to 'prove' what i did, then i would be called a braggart. So rather than that i just keep quiet and read the things others write about. Whilst some have been on here all afternoon mincing on about my books i have been out with the dogs. It seems that many today find sitting in front of a keyboard much easier than being out in the countryside. Its certainly warmer and drier i'll give you that....

 

Anyway, they're only paper and ink, worry about the more important things in life. Theres people dying of cancer every day, think yourself lucky you only have to worry about my writings.....

I don't think "some" people appreciate how much time and effort were put in to achieve the photos in the book... Yes its very easy to state, we could write a book... Hats of to darcy for producing something we will all look back on in years to come, showing in true colour, the glory days of running dogs...

[Guest stewie]

Ahhhh could of fooled me....!

show me where i knocked his time and effort then!!!!! i said i dont agree with them or people thinking he is some kind of legend but i never knocked the work he has put into them

I got this book because I honestly believe it will become a classic ! I have a 1st edition of Walshes "The English Whippet" and Douglas-Todds "The Whippet" which are already classics and collectors books, as well as being very good reads! £35 may have seemed a lot, but it will only improve in value.

 

Cheers.
