Correct, but then again you are not a member of the Accy Web ferret appreciation society.

Sorry Dotti but you will have to explain that to me. see other answers above.

Sorry, taddy, I thought my comment would be self-explanatory, but in a cryptic sort of way. My sense of humour. I meant that perhaps you had succeeded in turning your spuds into vodka and had been sampling same….please accept my very sincere (hmmm!) apologies for even thinking this.

No Problem, no need to be sorry, I love humour from wherever in the world it comes from, I am not one of the "whinging Poms" of old.

Wasn't even aware such a thing existed. So what does that involve then? Getting 16 pints down your neck while shoving numerous fretlets down your pants? Last man standing is the winner & the loser after getting out of the Ozzy has to pay for the Ale?

It's a very select club Dave, as far as I know there are only two members in it at the moment Ferret Man and myself, all you need is an appreciation of all things Ferret related. Forty odd fifty years ago I used to tie my own "Purse Nets",(nets used to catch rabbits as they bolted from their burrows trying to escape from one of my ferrets that I had introduced but now the four that I have are simply pets, they even have harnesses so that I can take them for a walk, much to the amazement of the locals, the children especially.
I bought two Kits at nine weeks old four years ago and the other two are what I rehomed when they were found wandering along the canal towpath.

Bit like the "Fellowship of the Hat", That was a 2 man thing, Eric (who I believe passed on several years back now) & me. It was in reference to the "Watering holes" in Medicine Hat, Alberta Canada along the "Skatch" Saskatchewan river.

Canada, Troops & training. - Accrington Web

Bad Medicine at Medicine Hat. - Accrington Web

I made a 2 parter "educational" about it some time back.

Many thanks for that Dave, My Lad also went to Medicine Hat as a driver/ gunner on a Chieftain but whilst you were there in 1986 he was there, I think in 1988/9. the two things that he always mentions is the length of the trains that passed across the prairie, (or whatever it is called in Canada) and the "Marmots" that the squaddies were always trying to feed, (catch).
