  1. Thanks Moor Man, I'll make sure to look them up. Gary
  2. Hi guys, I've not lived in Devon for long and have got my Dad coming down for the weekend. We were hoping to a bit of clay bashing on Sunday afternoon but I have no idea where to head to. I live near Exeter/Exmouth if anyone knows of anywhere nearby? Thanks in advance, Gary

    School trip

    We went with School when I was about 13 I think, found my Great Uncle's name on the Menin Gate so they let me lay a wreath during the last post which was nice. GaZ
  4. Hemel is ok. The Gadebridge/Warners End/Boxmoor/Chaulden side is nicer than the Highfield/Grovehill?Bennetts end side which are nearer to Buncefield. Although I would say that as I'm from Gadebridge... The trouble with Hemel is that it's now full of people who are quite happy not to get a job and spend their whole lives loitering. If McDonalds makes the decision to close a branch in the town centre you know you've got problems! The town centre is full of pound shops and empty units now, not much hope going forward. It was a decent place to grow up in (I'm 28 now) but the best thing I ever did was move my family to Somerset. Would never go back.
  5. My brother brought me a bottle of Conemarra back from Ireland, as far as I am aware it is the only peated Irish whiskey, and I enjoyed that. it is available on the whiskyexchange site. Great company to deal with. GaZ
  6. You sure it wasn't one of the local girls from Hemel? Easy mistake to make... GaZ
  7. Love a bit of selma. Desperado is a quality film, might pop the DVD on now I'm back from the boozer GaZ
  8. I didn't mean they couldn't do damage mate, I don't doubt what you say for a minute. I was trying to say that even though dogs aren't bred for fighting these days they still possess those traits that made them useful for the job in the first place. Probably didn't explain it very well... GaZ
  9. We bought a teller "dog specific" stair gate for her as she would jump a normal one easily and guess what, she cleared that too so they definitely can jump. And whilst I agree with the "deed not breed" argument to an extent you still need to consider the damage each breed could do. They might not be bred for fighting any more but they will still retain some of the characteristics that made them desirable as a fighting dog in the first instance. The power that Norma (yes she was called Norma) had was unbelievable at times and whilst no dog bite is ever trivial I could easily see her doing much more damage in a much shorter time than say my dad's Golden Retriever. But ultimately responsibility has to lie with the owner. Anyway, sorry to jump on the thread Linny, just thought I'd throw my 2p in. All the best. GaZ
  10. I had my EBTxStaffy (see avi) PTS when my daughter was 3 months old. She was soft as they come at home and was attached to me like suplerglue, to the point where it was detrimental. The problem was she was a rescue that didn't cope well in kennels and her fear manifested itself in aggression. She would go at strangers in the house and out on walks so I kept well away from others when out and about but the trouble was could I trust someone else to be as careful as I was not to let her bite someone? (After we had decided we couldn't keep her with my daughter around) The answer was no, so having spent hundreds on training and behavioural assessments I had to have her PTS. Hardest decision I have ever made and it still gets at me today, but I know it was the right decision. I hope everything works itself out for you in time and, more importantly, your granddaughter makes a full recovery. GaZ
  11. Cheers guys. I had a quick Google, was just wondering if anywhere comes recommended. Local knowledge is normally best lol GaZ
  12. Hi Guys, I've only recently moved to Somerset and wondered if anyone local can recommend a gun/country shop in the area? I'm on the north coast near Bridgwater. I've heard there's one in Wiveliscombe so I'm heading over for a look today. Thanks GaZ
