working dog

Agree - the focus is at the wrong end of the lead

Just read through this post and tried to reason why would want such a cross. I can see the local chavs buying one and 'training' it through defence to be a mad thing bouncing off the end of a lead whenever it sees another person or dog - the dangerous dog prophecy is then fulfilled. I am in no way condoning the breeding of banned breeds - we have laws surrounding this and have to abide by these laws. Generalising here but people breeding / supplying dogs outside of these laws do so knowingly and have will have clientele from groups of people who operate in similar circles. On the bite pressure, a dog with 200lbs pressure has the same ability to kill a kid as a dog further up the 'league'. I would far rather be around a properly trained protection dog (or attack dog as sensationalised here and in the media) than a windy dog with less bite pressure that has no control.

Two thick slices of white bloomer A spreading of cooked chopped plum tomatoes A good dusting of white pepper Plenty of smoked dry cured bacon (local butcher) A spreading (but not too much) HP sauce Add a fried egg (soft yolk) if the mood takes you

If they are pets / egg layers I would not buy hybrids. These will lay like mad for a couple of years and then fall off their perch. If she wants to handle the birds, consider pekins. These are smaller birds and can be easily hand tamed. Their eggs are smaller and they wont lay as many eggs as some breeds but lay well enough. Being smaller you can get more hens in a coop. Then theres egg colour - you can get dark brown, blue, pink, olive coloured eggs with different breeds / cross breeds. As said before, you dont need a cock for egg laying but they do keep a larger flock in order. You do have the crowing issue and an extra non egg laying mouth to feed.

Started off at about 11 with a webley junior which had no power and no accuracy. Then a relative gave me one of his cast-offs - a Relum Tornado a year or so later. It was ugly as hell, weighed as much as a family sized car but was powerful and fairly accurate. I then moved away from guns for a while and came back to air rifles when we moved house and had lots of rats for target practice. Then, a couple of years ago I foolishly spent an afternoon clay shooting and applied for my SGC within the same week and the shot guns followed not long after.

A lot of what has been said before. A good accountant is a must. Depending on your line of business and your target market, there may be an expectation for you to be VAT registered. If your customers are limited companies they will assume a level of company stability if you operate a limited company. Create a business plan. Understand what you are providing, the markets you are focussing on, expected startup and ongoing costs, simple P&L forecast. This then gives you a baseline to track if your business is performing on target. That said, dont be afraid to change your direction. If another area is proving more attractive and more lucrative, move in that direction. Have as much completed up front of the business go live - web site, stationery, business cards, flyers, bank account etc. as appropriate. Bear in mind that these may be the only 'window' for your customers to your business - create the right impression, even if reality doesnt quite match the image. Expect to have lean times before the money starts to come in. One that I didn't do until the end of my first quarter and my first VAT return - invest in basic accounting software. Tracking your invoices and bills will be a serious headache without this. And good luck !

Ive used Feathers with my DE89 for over a year now and tried Astra Platinum last week. Although not quite as sharp as Feathers, it was a comfortable shave. Not quite as aggressive as feathers but didnt have the drag that I get with blades like Derby or Shark.

Yeast plays a big part in the end result of any beer. US05 is a very clean, neutral yeast and will enhance the hop profile rather than the malt. S04 gives more of a buttery/smooth taste to the beer and takes away the hopiness to an extent. Different yeasts are just that - they are different. Whether the beer is better of worse is down to personal preference. I tend to use Nottingham yeast for most beers as it is a neutral yeast, much like US05.

You can always buy the missus a vintage Gillete Lady blue star so she doesnt blunt your blades. They come up on that auction site now and then at sensible prices. It also provides an outlet for any packs of blades that you try and dont get on with.

I moved to DE shaving a couple of years ago but had the misfortune of using a mach 3 for a day earlier this month. I'd forgot how much the multi blades drag your skin. For me its proraso pre shave cream, a decent soap, Vulfix brush, DE89, feather blades and proraso post shave cream Ive tried other blades but cant find anything to match feathers

We have an L200, a Golf, a Honda CRZ and an MG TF The Golf will be going in January so we will be down to three cars

I missed plenty on that one I couldnt get on it quick enough to take it on the rise so took it as it was falling. Managed to hit it by shooting below it and with twice the lead that I thought it needed

I posted in the latest e-collar thread that I own one and have used it on occasion. This is one of those times that I would not use an e-collar. It is usually more difficult to get the dog to heel off lead so youve done the tricky part already.

Agree its back to basics. You could try stopping as soon as the dog goes in front and not walking again until the dog is at heel. Then walking on again until the dog is in front - repeat. This is really frustrating but the dog will get the message eventually. Another to try if your dog is ball driven is to hold your ball in your left hand and get the dog to focus on the ball as yorue heeling. After a few steps at heel, throw the ball behind you for the dog to fetch (stops the dog anticipating and running forward for his ball). Do this after a few steps and build it up rather than heeling the dog until it fails
