Stabs 3 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 An excerpt from the forthcoming erotic thriller entitled "Badger Digging with Worriers" The bag full of cans was still in the bus stop bin when I got off the number twelve, and I imagine that they’d caused a lot of old ladies to tut under their breath as they’d passed on the way into town that morning. The bus had been pretty empty on the way out from town, as most of the people were heading in the opposite direction to do their shopping. Less people to silently pass judgement on the fact that I was carrying a rifle. I wasn’t dressed in tweeds and I wasn’t wearing a deerstalker, which would have gone some way to allaying potential fears that I was up to mischief. Don’t get me wrong, if I could have afforded proper hunting gear I would have worn it. There’s nothing I would have liked more than a pair of decent hunting boots, and a smart Barbour jacket, but who the f**k can afford that shit at that age? I had to be content to wear my jeans, t-shirt and Adidas Sambas. Sure the snobby fuckers who were two or three times our age could look down their noses at us from their Land Rovers and dismiss us as oiks, which I suppose we were, but last time I checked, there weren’t no compulsory f*****g dress code to shoot rabbits. What sort of f*****g thinking is that anyway? Neil wore white Nike Airs and jeans from Next, because that’s what his Mam bought him from her catalogues. So what? Some of us had families with next to no disposable income so we wore what we always wore and made no apologies for it. One thing we pretty much all had though, was a combat jacket. These could be bought at any of the myriad army surplus shops that were about at the time, and were as cheap as anything. My own was given to me by my uncle who’d worn it during the Falklands, and it was a Royal Marine windproof smock. It’d seen better days but I loved it. A lot of the cadets at school had offered me good money for it, but I never dreamt of parting with it. Neil was sat on the wall at the front of his house when I turned up; smoking a fag and kicking the heels of his Nikes against the crumbling brickwork. “’Bout f*****g time” “f**k off” “Come on then, let’s go and kill some bunnies!” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 There is a huge difference between choosing to eat, cleanly and legitimately harvested venison, and enjoying the quality, and the now illegal running of deer with longdogs. Hence more people making that choice. I take it your BASC membership is fully paid up? , never mind the educated stuff, as far as I am concerned you can take your stalkers snobbery and shooters narrow minded views on the ethics of hunting venison and shove them right up your arse! FYI I cancelled my membership of BSAC nearly 2 decades ago. :D Unfortunately for you. Its precisely on the issues of ethics and morality where you lost the fight. If you can't hold your ground on the ethics and morals front, and are forever on the back foot, you'll never win the battle for the hearts and minds. If you can't win the battle you'll remain forever on the losing side. Subjected to ever more restrictions, along with increasing disdain and opposition to your POV. Until in the end circumstance, regulation and public discontent at your choices closes the book on you. A hard but inevitable lesson to have to learn. Like a bitter pill it might make you choke, but you'll just have to swallow it never the less. :bye: Oh, by the way I never shoved anything up my arse willing or otherwise. I even declined when the quack offered me the regulation prostate exam for my private medical insurance. So you want be disheartened if I decline your suggestion as well. Oh so your an anti as well, well stone me, i never knew......... Its actually quite refreshing to read the thoughts of one that is very very very very intelligent as normally they dont go hand in hand. So are you solely on here to wind up people in between protests or have you got an actual job?......i'm guessing your retired and your putting all your energy into snooping around trying to get 'normal' people imprisoned..... Well i'm off too slave my guts out for a little while in the pouring rain, if only i'd stuck in at school like yourself i could have been someone oneday.........toodle pip old chum...... I'm about as far from being anti as anyone can get! Just another of your assumption that you've got wrong. Enjoy the rain. Its stopped now thanks............ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like the way you felt the need to mention private medical insurance. Private medical insurance is given away with loads of jobs these days I think its interesting that you feel it in some way credentialises you or defines you as a success. You must have some serious self image/confidence issues to feel the need to talk down to people. Its an internet forum ffs why bust a gut to convince others you are well educated/successful.

andyfr1968 772 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I think far more people were aware of realities and what's involved in the running of deer with longdogs and the digging of badger with terriers than you imagine. Yes the antis made full use of the tabloid press to "educate" the uninformed on their views on the subject. However there was already a significant proportion of the voting public who had already decided that it wasn't for them. The fact is antis did a far better job of "educating" the rest of the voting public than the longdog and terrier men is whole heartedly the dogmen's fault.I believe that they realised that as soon as the full beam of the anti hunting campaigners spotlight came to bear they where as doomed as the lamped rabbit with a good whippetx coming down the beam. I'd even go as far as to say that the hunting fraternity would have willingly sacrificed them to the vote if they could have seen a way of negotiating a compromise settlement towards licensed hunting rather than a complete ban. There is a world of difference between venison that has been harvested legitimately and cleanly via legal means, and the under the counter dog run stuff. Hence people making that choice and appreciating the quality. There is a huge difference between choosing to eat, cleanly and legitimately harvested venison, and enjoying the quality, and the now illegal running of deer with longdogs. Hence more people making that choice. It was all going swimmingly till that post and the 'baiting' reference You remind me so much of a guy who used to come and play with us on the old Moochers (pre THL) Some of the older members may remember him, one of his aliases was Danny. He was an anti. An intelligent man who would wind people up so much you could almost see them going red in the face, veins bulging on their foreheads It was all a big game to him, as this is to you Once people stopped biting at your class insults you have turned your discussion towards other things you feel sure will get them at it again and it is working Moll, I think you've hit the nail well and truly on the head That's exactly what I was thinking some time ago. I'm not going to get into an arguement with Magdon as there's not point. His vast intellect and utter mastery of the English language will only dwarf my puney shaven headed brain. Magdon, I'll maybe bump into you at Lodge at some point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magdon 7 Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) You dont have to be too educated to see through your bullshit rhetoric, this thread was never about what people ware and all about hunting deer with dogs and your very feeble attempt to lable people who indulge in this historic practice as some kind of "scum" element which they are not! This thread has been about many things. Thats just the way things go sometimes. It wasn't I who brought up the subject of coursing deer with longdogs. I merely answered a question posed.Bull baiting, cockfighting, infant child labour, and the common man dying regularly of typhus were all historical practices. Simply becos they use to happen doesn't give them a free pass in today's society. Using such a easily defeated arguement is what got you where you are today, banned, ostracised and deminshing in number year on year If you dont like the practice, dont go all round the houses, just say so from the start Fair enough. I have always held to the view that in regard to ethics, morals and practicalities there are better ways to cull and hunt deer. Your attempt to try and highlite differences in hunting folk and apportion blame for the archaic restrictions imposed upon those who hunt with dogs, to one type of hunting is frankly pathetic! There is nothing arachic about the 2004 Hunting Act. Are you sure you meant to use the word to describe the current laws? That the majority of country sports men would have hung the coursing crowd out to dry in order to save tradition hunting. Is well know. Distasteful as it may seem to some. You are no better than an anti yourself with all your attempts to devide hunting folk.I know people who follow hounds, shoot, fish, run dogs and keep terriers and find time and work for all these pastimes & animals.......I will let you into a secret, these people are hunting folk and you matey, sound like a man with a gun, nothing more than that. I'm not trying to divide hunting folk. The divisions are already there. Sure like you and I there are people who participate and enjoy many aspects of various country sports. But I know game shots who would never support fox hunting, I know trout fishermen who find coursing abhorrent. Are they any the less country sportmen for that? Not in my book. I have kept and worked all manner of working dogs and animals over the years. I have hunted, I have shot and I have fished. I still do and will do until such times as I can't physically manage to do so.and for as long as I can whole heartedly, morally and ethically justify my continued participation in those sports. Whilst its true you can't educate pork. You can sure can cure it! Something the 2004 hunting Act and the 1981 wildlife protection act certainly managed to do. Just thing of them as just another bitter pill you have been obliged to swallow over the years. Whether you consider them to be bullshit or not doesn't really count for much now does it.
