neil cooney 10,416 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 The Kerry Blue one jumped out at me too, to be fair the Kerry Blue of 30 years ago was a fiery breed, maybe not game but liked a tussle and I remember bringing a Jack Russell of mine 3 different times to the vet because of a neighbours Kerry Blue. Another one I liked was the Jack Russell pups for sale "time wasters beware". And also the one looking for Rhino Horn, nowadays your door would be kicked in within the hour, LOL Nice one, keep them coming. Quote Link to post
eastcoast 4,190 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 A neighbour got themselves a Kerry Blue and I have seen it almost daily since it was a pup. About 14 month now. Physically it's not a bad sort but obviously massive. My God though it's a strange one temperament wise. Never makes a sound, never wags it's tail, never makes eye contact with me. Just totally focussed on my terrier. Good job they keep it on a lead. And it's a bitch. Quote Link to post
Lenmcharristar 9,887 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 used to be buy & sell up here in the 90s couldnt wait to see the pets corner pages to see what dogs were for sale or the fishing/hunting page 1 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Len, you mentioning the Buy And Sell reminds me of during the early 90s a friend of mine's phone was hopping one day with lads asking him was he still looking for live foxes and badgers. He bought the Buy And Sell and here was an add looking for live foxes and badger with his phone number, and him with a yard of working dogs. He told some of the callers he was from the ISPCA and they'd hang up. A week later he started getting calls asking was the tortoise still for sale ? LOL. It was a drinking buddy of his sending in the free add every week and in the end he had to ring Buy And Sell and tell them to cancel his number ,LOL. 1 Quote Link to post

fat man 4,741 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I done it before to a lad I worked with. A proper prick. Put an ad on buy and sell. With his number. Selling hens also put on it to ring after 8 because he was worrkin on the farm all day. Drove him nuts I used to park my van in a little village where i got picked up to go further on to work.In this village lived a chap i had worked with for a couple of years previous.One evening i arrived back from my work place to find my van covered in all sorts of graffiti done using shaving foam.I knew right well it was him that did it so it was pay back time.He owned at the time a nissan sunny which he thought the world off so i advertised it in the buy and sell free to take away with tax and nct left on it,reason being owner emagrating,gave his number and said nothing to no one.His other brother worked with me and a week later sais that Jim was persecuted with phone calls mostly from non-nationals looking about the car,lol he never interfered with my van again. 3 Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,416 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I recently had a loan of some Grit And Steel and some The Feathered Warrior magazines from the 1940s and the classified adds was a look back at a completely different era. There was adds for Trios for sale or will swap for guns, there was adds for guns and adds for Pit Bull Terriers from the best fighting stock in the world. I also seen an add for a convention that Earl Tudor ran in the US of A in the 40s (I think) and at the bottom it said "Entry $1, Women 50c Children 50c and Coloreds 50c. Quote Link to post
