jigsaw 11,863 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I was talking to an old gypsie friend of mine lately and he told me this tale and swears its true and I'm inclined to believe it. He had a lurcher for 12 years and worked it on everything,from rabbit to deer to pheasant,hares were no problem to it.Well he fed his family on poached game for years,took thousands of rabbits with him.One day he was coursing a hare for the pot when the lurcher hit a gate and broke his neck.Barney was heartbroken,he carried the dog back to the camp and laid him in front of the fire.He went to bed and thought he would bury his companion in the morning,he just couldnt face the task that night.When he got up the next day he approached the spot that the dog lay and the corpse was gone.He enquired as to where the dog had gone and his wife proclaimed that she buried the dog knowing her husband was upset facing the job. Two months passed by and one day the wife gave her husband a brown paper parcel and when he opened it he found a fabulous waistcoat his wife had made.She told him she had skinned his dog and made the coat out of him so he would always have his favourite dog with him .Well barney was thrilled with it and wore it everywhere he went,telling people the tale of his dog and its accomplishments.In the village where Barney lived,a charity cricket match was organised and the names were taken for the game,during the game Barney stepped forward to bat,since it was a warm day Barney took his waistcoat off and laid it by his side.well the match commenced and Barney hit a ball way into the rough,the ball rolled into a large clump of gorse,suddenly a rabbit ran out and to the amazement of the village people(not the pop group)Barneys waistcoat flew across the grass in hot pursuit,even in death the dog was still game.I'm inclined to believe this story,what do you reckon? This story was induced by a lot of beautifully chilled MILLER DRAUGHT,I hope I'm allowed to advertise for such a noble company as MILLER DRAUGHT,AMERICAS QUALITY BEER.....hic!!

Brrrrrrrrrrr I can recall it as if it was yesterday , it was very bizarre & i also had another strange thing happen an over powering smell of perfume when i got back from the walk, i sat & thought all sorts , did i imagine i saw her, did i actually see her, but in a second she went it was a lovely december afternoon, sun was out all day , but very low down , so it made it near impossible to see anything properly. I have never had another experience like it since or before it, it wasnt scareyi just couldnt work out what was happening, i rang everyone i knew to tell them when i got back I was curious as to what i think i saw so i did a bit of searching on the net and came up with a cricis apperition, she had basically committed suicide and opd at 3.30 that afternoon, it was the only death i struggled to deal with, she was a very special woman & very much loved . I hadnt known her for long around 2 yrs but it was as if i had known her all my life, someone i think about everyday still after 3 yrs of not seeing her. salt of the earth she was Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Nolan 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I'm not sure how to say this but even joking about the quality of Miller Draft could be seen as a sign of instability or worse. The words quality and Miller (or Budweiser) should never be used in the same sentence. Let's just say they're one of the biggest breweries in the States and already do a great job marketing their products. Quality never into the Sales equation over here.
