RMweb Premium Gedward Posted June 17, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2021 I had never heard of 'Notan', until my Japanese wife told me about it. Sadly, I lost her in 2019. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pub in Putney used to keep the Marmite for him under the counter. He also used to drink gin and light ale. He was a lovely Irish eccentric.

MrWolf Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 This Setter is called Gordon. He likes a fry up. (With square sausage meat of course.) And Marmite on toast. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium SteveyDee68 Posted June 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 19, 2021 Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Gordon the Setter looks like he has eaten another setter when nobody was looking? Steve S 1 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) He had an extra Belly buster breakfast from a greasy spoon at the side of the A68. They are a big dog with a lot of fur tbh.

They are a big dog with a lot of fur tbh. Here he is "on point" looking out for stray pheasants or those pesky Stukas... Now, this photo shows him off as a very handsome boy! My aunt and uncle bred pedigree Scottie dogs for many years, but in the early days gave my grandfather one of the pups after his Westie had passed away, as my aunt said that she could tell "Scot" (as he got named) was too big to sell, show or breed from. He grew to be nearly double the size of an 'average' Scottie, and also loved cooked sausages as a treat. My very posh great aunt Joan (who attended a Swiss 'Finishing' school as a teenager, no less) once shocked an entire Northern pub into silence when she decided to (loudly) comment upon Scot's size and weight; in a cut-glass English accent, she suddenly announced, "Bob - that dog of yours is overweight and needs to go on a diet - his p*n*s drags on the floor when he walks!" To get things back on topic(ish), my great uncle Stanley started his career (before WW2) working as a signalman for the railways...

Only borrowed unfortunately. The most often seen is the Irish (red) Setter, followed by the English (red and white.) The Scottish / Gordon Setter (black and tan) is quite a rare sight now. It's probably because they all take a fair bit of training and aren't a fashion accessory. I have always preferred them over Labs and Spaniels as gun dogs, plus they don't tend to have the problems of being over bred. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always preferred them over Labs and Spaniels as gun dogs, plus they don't tend to have the problems of being over bred. There used to be a lovely red setter who used to go for walks in our local park. She was a beautiful animal with a marvelous character but a bit flighty. The owners went to considerable effort to train her and to make certain she got plenty of exercise. Her name was Ivy shortened from Poison Ivy (Batman & Robin). They also had an Irish setter as well but unfortunately had to give her up. Ivy got along with my Ziggy famously. Unfortunately she got cancer and passed away several years ago. The owner didn't want another because they also had children. The emotional investment in any animal is worth it but it does come at a cost. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted June 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2021 My mates's girlfriend had a red setter and a morgan 4+4. ith my girlfriend we often went out as a fivesome including the red setter which as is their want would dive into any water it found . Back in the car it would dry itself on my lap. I did like the dog but it could be a pain. Don 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very smooth, very quiet...............but both halt abruptly. Similar to but not as bad as the Peckett. Now I'm more willing to tinker with the Terriers. Both chassis roll freely with the motor disengaged. No apparent resistance. I therefore work on the basis that it must be the motor. I have therefore sourced four replacement Hornby motors locally. At £4.13 each*, why not? I'll run each one and work out which turns over at lowest voltage and take it from there.......... * Elsewhere they are £9.99 ea.......plus postage. Updates to follow. Rob Morning all. By way of an update, Bembridge was the subject of surgery yesterday evening. The four motors were all checked before hand. Two of the four were considered better than the others and deemed fit to be exchanged with those in both Bembridge and Cowes. There was an immediate improvement in the start stopping which perhaps supports my similar position with the B2 Peckett in that the motors fitted to those examples were also dodgy. The 'two from four' situation also suggests a mixed bag landing with Hornby and tge replacements are a bit of a lottery. One of the spares, purchased factory sealed etc also had solder on the terminals. This was one of the two rejected btw. These two will be exchanged with the shop as per their offer should any be not up to scratch. What then manifested itself was a reluctance for Bembridge to run in reverse through the cross over on Bleat. I've noticed that Bembridge had a much stiffer wheelset on the geared axle than Cowes, which was subsequently unboxed and tried. Cowes went through fine. I then swapped the wheelsets and Bembridge now went through whereas Cowes no longer did. Looking at the respective axles and brass bearings, the Cowes original axle's bearings slid in a far smoother manner than those of Bembridge. A drop of oil made no difference and I see no obvious imperfections. I shall therefore order a replacement set of wheels. But we are getting there.......on which basis I should have a better idea when I get the next one..... Rob. 3 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
