A Trip To Meath..80S

[chesney 5,492]

Ye agree keep it going treehands and ignore certain shit talk from lads

[BlackBuck 655]

Classic tree hands , enjoyed that . Great thread , think mixed grill is only breaking that mouth in for an asshole , he'll be grand in the morning

[neil cooney 10,416]

Mods clean the tread I'll hold the hands up shouldn't have posted on this tread I'll start me own

Please do, be my guest.

And in the thread you should admit that in a PM you've admitted to telling lies.

Now I wasn't on line all weekend, I was digging, but everyone's calling you a wanker now.

By being on this forum and using my real name I leave myself wide open for assholes like yourself to criticize . That's fine, I can handle tossers like you but you said that a man (a good honest man who's not on this site to defend himself) said something he didn't.

That makes you a liar. It's assholes like you what's wrong with the terrier game. Your type are it's cancer.

Now since you have admitted you've lied I can't see how you can ever add to this forum again as you know you wont be taken seriously.

But even if you left this forum you'd come back under a different name, just like your buddy did.

Mixedgrill, I would say you're a sausage short of a mixedgrill.

 

Now, back to the topic please. If a good man like Paccy Tormey was to read it, he'd laugh for a week.

[neil cooney 10,416]

Treehands, did Paccy ever tell you the story of the roadkill fox ???

I can't remember it correctly but Paccy used to tell it brilliantly.

Roughly what happened was that Paccy came upon a dead fox on the road and pulled up, but another fellow pulled up at the same time.

Paccy wanted either the whole body or the brush and the other fellow wanted either the whole body or the brush. I cant remember which.

The two of them ran for the fox and got it at the same time.

A tug-o-war ensued and the tail came off.

Which ever of them had the brush wouldn't give it to the lad who wanted it.

A funny story, does it ring a bell ?

[BlackBuck 655]

Stories like this are what it should be all about , humorous tales of the good days . Days we will never get back , but we can listen and learn from the guys that have lived it and done it . Il be the first to admit that my first impression of mr cooney was that he was a know it all , but we can all get it wrong . The man has probably done as much and more than any of us , his only fault if you could call it that is that he tells it how it is and doesn't mince his words . Keep it up lads , a great thread that I hope hasn't ended

[neil cooney 10,416]

Thanks Black Buck, haven't done it all yet, doubt I ever will.

Mind you, done plenty and spent yesterday in the company of two lads a bit younger than me, so I'll call them young lads, but believe me it's a long time since I seen such good terriermen.

They didn't make a move without thinking first. They were with the terrier and ahead of the game the whole time. Good lads.

Terrier work is far from f****d because of the likes of the terriers and terriermen I seen yesterday.

Put me in a such a good mood I drank a few EXTRA glasses of cider last night for them.

[BlackBuck 655]

A few extra glasses never done anyone any harm , it's good to see good men at work with decent dogs .

[Mary 352]

did any line of dog survive with the memories treehands , Neil?

I remember Packie 1 time we were out he was bursting for a crap so strolled of down the hedge to do the buisness.He was wearing overalls and as he was taking of the top half to get the bottom half down he forgot what he was doing and laid out the top half behind him on the ground and shit into them,and if that was not bad enough he then proceeded to pull them back up when finished no realizing the mistake he had made until he felt the warm shit against his back,f**k it was funny.Seen him another time while out on the local river poaching salmon strip off to his boxers and we started going down the river.He had left his clothes bundled up under a hedge.After about an hour the lamp went dead so we headed back down the bank to where he had left his clothes but it took us about an hour to find them in the dark with me another 2 lads and Packie walking up and down the field with a pair of working boots on and he in his boxers,if anyone seen us i think they would have brought Packie straight to the big white house[Mental] lol.

[chesney 5,492]

Your mate paccy sounds like right legend God be good to him

[pablo esc 1,598]

Did you ever see or meet the man up that way, he be going on and the lad would be stood there with him saying nothing, but nodding his head and smiling to his chit

[Treehands 1,417]

Only wish I spent more time over there with Paccy an the crew but alas the terriers took me elsewhere..

Had some good craic over the years with the dogs, and have met some proper characters. An enough story's to fill a few hours.

Back in the day , regarding terrier work anywhere a fox would go me an my mates would follow.

And truly was a case of "He who dares wins"

Though I'm Terriers to the core, we done a lot with lurchers.

Haven't times changed!!!!!

I still have a skulk in places I shouldn't be, just to "dare myself".
