Purdey - may god pickle you as well! Anti-hunter - yes guilty as charged and can't help giggling everytime they manage to shoot each other

Perhaps Prince Edward will shoot another Royal .....

Hi bibsy

I don't know what your rant to me was about, but I think it was a case of mistaken identity as I have never owned a donkey!

Hi Deniz

Now, is Prince Edward Greek? His grandfather was Prince Andrew of Greece, his father was born on Corfu but has subsequently adopted English nationality, so he is part Greek by blood, but not by Law.

Somewhere, I have a photograph of myslelf and Edward, in Kensington Palace, holding hands - well shaking hands anyway!

Is Edward the dodgy one or is that Andrew?

Hi Lana,

Nice to be remembered by the exalted one. One is not so ignorant as one surmises.
I was very interested in Phil the Greeks' biography when he was talking about his early life on Corfu and talking about the hardworking and pleasant Turkish POWs.

As a part time Royalist you are aware of his early life I suppose?

Hello Milo, sorry I did not get back sooner to you on the fox hunting piece. You should have hung around a little longer, we still fox hunt mabe a little different but hunting still goes on.

[Milo]

Sorry Purdey I suppose I did,nt make it clear in my post as of course its NOT a blanket ban on Fox Hunting as too many people in power would,nt have allowed that. And it does allow riders to hunt in a shall we say a fairer way.

But although the Fox Hunt goes on in a vastly different form, i.e blocking earths up and badger setts to stop a fox going to ground, cubbing, etc has been stopped, previously if the Fox did make it down a hole the chances are it would be dragged out by terriers and made to run again to allow the numpties on horses to enjoy the chase.

Drag hunting has been brought in which many hunts now choose but some flout when a Fox 'pops up.' The one,s that choose to Hunt now realise that the Fox has a much more sporting chance than ever before, so for some its lost its appeal, as the Kill was never the important bit according to previous hunters (yeah right!) Once chased and caught up with the Hunters can instead shoot a Fox.

The Hunting Ban is blurred agree, and the fact that Camerons Party would like to repeal is the death knell for them really, as a recent mori poll shows 75% support the ban after 3 years. Its like a political party in the UK trying to lift the smoking ban, as if.

IMHO its always been a brutal, needless and outdated pastime and glad that at least its positively changed, of course there is still a vocal minority who are unwilling to accept the principle of democracy!

I could go on but its boring to others so I,ll leave it there. By the way I am and never will be part of any anti-hunt campaigns some of them end up usually as bad as the practices they try to stop. No, quiet prolonged action is the best way. And letting others know who did,nt live in the countryside as I did for decades that its never been good for the enviroment, quite the opposite.

Turkey, from what I have read bookings there are up 30% or so and Cyprus are down 40% or so.

[humanist]

Both airports in cyprus have aparently recorded their highest incoming trafic for sometime good uck to Turkey and its 30% increase in tourism that way it can afford to keep the trnc afloat for another year
