It's called forcing it to grow in low light. The rhubarb is more pink instead of that green roarke shite no flavour other than bitter. Nice on its own boiled down with some custard or cream.

speed doesnt kill hares mate with a good saluki type  once they get there then they are on i prefer that saluki style a running on that open chalky land one runs like a whippet would be smashed to bits one run mate feet ruined 

Speed does kill hares Mc . Average hares fold under intense pressure.  Good hares make a fast dog that won't settle and use its gears look stupid . A methodical runner,  run on nothing but fen land wouldn't suit coming up to Scotland back in the day . Fact

Exactly.  I think knowing it's in there . But it's not blairingly obviously.  Is the way . Unless your matching on fens week in week out . On the flip side . Could out and out fen dogs be really successful week in week out on big fields and a bit hedge land . Now before mchull jumps on me . I mean an animal that's only run fen for first 2 seasons.  ?

It's only my take on it mate and I think without doubt the saluki hybrid lurchers are the kings of single handed hare killing dogs though years ago i have seen plenty of other lurchers with no saluki in them being consistent hare catching dogs though admittedly not on big fens or Salisbury plains.

f***ing true its easy done. My uncle only pushed there neighbour a got jailed for manslaughter. Neighbour had ago at my auntie an he only pushed him. Hit his head on curb. Never been in trouble in his life. Made a mess of him going to Jail. That's when jails were slop outs 5 to a cell. Killed him off. A man with self respect turned to being locked up. When were out an any trouble kicks off he'll walk away.

The cleaners had 4 to 5 to a cell. The normal cells 3 to a cell now 2 to a cell unless you get put on basic.  The cleaners had the end cells on each landing which are abit bigger. My uncle was a cleaner on the wing in Armley.
