old timer123 367 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 WELL FELLAS , IVE NO TIME FOR BULLSHITTERS ...... OR DREAMERS AND ALL I CAN SAY TO OLDTIMER IS ..... OPINIONS ARE LIKE ARSEHOLES , EVERYONES GOT ONE .... THOUGH IF I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I FECK I WAS TALKING ABOUT I WOULD'NT EXPRESS AN OPINION !!! IMAGINE BEING SO UP YERSELF THAT YOU WILL TRY AND TELL MEN WITH YRS OF EXPERIENCE ABOUT SOMETHING YOU HAVE NEVER KEPT ... WHAT A JOKE IT SEEMS HOLLY WANTS TO BE SPOONFED ..... WELL THATS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN FROM ME ... HARDFEATHER ,NEIL COONEY .... I USED THE HITCHES PICTURED FOR A FEW YEARS , RUBBER CORDS AND NEOPRENE HITCHES AND TO BE HONEST THEY ARE A DECENT HITCH , BUT ...... AND ITS A BIG BUT ....... AS NEIL SAID CERTAIN COCKS WILL UNPICK THE HITCH AND STEP CLEAN OUT ...... ALSO THE NEOPRENE HITCHES HAVE TO BE WATCHED VERY VERY CLOSELY AS THEY WILL LOOK FINE ONE MINUTE AND BREAK AT THE SLOT THE NEXT ,..... ALSO THE RUBBER CORDS I DONT LIKE , YES THEY ARE EASIER ON A NERVOUS BIRDS LEG , BUT WILL SNAP WHEN NICKED OUT OF THE BLUE WITH LITTLE SIGN OF WEAR AND LIKE ALL RUBBER ARE VARIABLE IN COLD OR HOT WEATHER ......A LOST A FEW DUE TO SUCH CORDS I PREFER A PARA CORD TYPE WITH 3 SWIVELS AND A DOUBLE LEATHER HITCH , A GREAT TIE - CORD I COULD GET 12 TO 18 MONTHES CONSTANT WEAR OUT OF , IN THE ISLANDS THE SAME TYPE SELL FOR AROUND 25 p , I USED TO GET A HUNDRED AT A TIME SENT OVER FROM A FEW MATES IN THE ISLANDS ....... WHO HERE COULD COMPETE WITH THAT PRICE ? .......LATER I MADE A FEW LITTLE IMPROVEMENTS FOR OUR CONDITIONS AND I NEVER LOST ONE FROM SUCH A TIE-CORD ....... ALL THE BEST DUCKWING i might not keep them at the moment but i know plenty of lads that do an if you can make em better an cheaper why not put em up for sale stead of bashing everyone else down Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 23,661 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Its different over there Goldfinch,your spoilt for choice,every village,town,and shopping centre have stores that cater for sabongueros and anything you need for fowl is stocked somewhere in a store,each street has fowl tethered in gardens or waste ground,the dawn chorus is a cacophany of birds greeting the dawn.
