Sorry for changing the title and all was trying to do something editing wise. But yeah me and the lady finally tied the knot today....well yesterday lol. Guess it was good ,she was happy , said she got the perfect princess moment and all the womanly stuff they like. I don't puke or pass out , and my grandma didn't go on a racist tirade so I'll say it all ended up pretty good. Would post pictures but all the ones I got sent make me look even more like a 12yr old then usual ( don't help the suit she picked made me look like a damn penguin and she wore 5" heels that put her a extra few inche

I’d rather poke my eyes out with a cocktail stick REFORM all the way Labour & Conservatives are the same and it’s good to see Nigel Farage Giving both party’s grief, three weeks to go and I reckon he’s got a lot more tricks up his sleeve, he’s a clever bloke.

Voted Conservative all my life, never again, all they've done is be a whipping boy for the WEF and rob us blind. Eighty seat majority and they still didn't overture the BS hunting ban, Reform this time, at least I'll feel like I've tried to make a difference.

Smoked aromatic duck served in soft tortillas ....couldn't get any pancakes

Slightly early.. but happy dad's day to my fellow hunting lifers. Firstly I'll spare a thought for you chaps that no longer have your dad around. It can't be easy and fortunately I'm not in that position yet. And you lot that aren't a dad yet.. get working at it! Lol.. So.. let's see what you get.. or what you think you're going to get. Going by the adds I'm getting on here I'm expecting some aftershave and a t-shirt!!

I’ll be voting for the party with real right wing polices, Reform, not a party that is conservative in name only. Cheers.

Happy Father’s Day one and all enjoy

Remember watching this as kid with grandad. Proper humour

I showed my wife that t shirt with me being her arm candy ....for some reason she just gave me that look

This, in my opinion, is where the problems become multi faceted lads……not only have we created a system where work isn’t mathematically possible for many but we have also lowered the bar of our society to something akin to 3rd world degradation……behaving like f***ing animals is just normal because that is what has been encouraged while our traditional British way of life has been derided and destroyed at every opportunity. I see these videos of various things where multi racial groups of whites, blacks, pakis are all meeting up for some event or the other and jumping about like monkeys, t

Guess you better start practising,

I used to shoot them with a webley tracker and give them to an old lad Jimmy jay wings/hare masks etc for his fly tying when I was a young teen...in exchange he used to make me fox snares,spinners and Devon minnows for the river ,I was out digging with him when I saw my first black dog at work 92/93 ish....went home and begged my dad for one Just bought my lad a little fly starter set,hes trout mad,but been using spinners,soft baits etc,been pestering me for a while, ordered him a big box of various flies off Temu...knock some up,and I will buy them from you for my lad Jok

Anyone noticing an increase in numbers ?,I back on to woods an the dawn and evening chorus was music to my ears ,now it's just chattering magpies ,crows cawing ,and the cackle of jackdaws ,it's like living in a rookery ! I'm doing my best a couple a day with air rifle, but not making a dent !

Just been up the garden to close the green house and put the trap I set for a squirrel away so I don't catch a hedgehog. Woody Twat. Cheers Arry

I,m ok with most corvids very intelligent interesting birds, the only ones I do shoot at every opportunity are magpies because of the destruction I see them cause, sat watching a couple of young crows yesterday just fledged the nest and learning to fly had a catty and some pebbles in my pocket would have made a very easy shot but was more enjoyable just watching them think we all go a bit soft in old age

Rods are out.... awaiting the first fish of the season

They will surrender to each other in ten mins

True.the tories have been brilliant for hunting.

If labour scum get in we’re all f****d !!

Opening up a new topic, I think. Friend of mine was having a chat. Amongst other things he had just shot 2 Jays. Now in my earlier days making or tying my own flies was the way to go. He said that from now on I could have any wings. SO. Is this of interest to anyone? Also, when I was making walking sticks, my signature was crossed jay feathers on the crook. Jok.

My bitch I lost a few years ago (Black). Got her niece now (Brindle)

Always heart breaking but it is a case of her going doing what she loved

Not a greenie but I like the Oz magpies, they eat young snakes, mice and other vermin around the place. With crows over here, if you go out with a gun you will never see one, when you don't have a gun you see plenty, I swear they warn each other.

When I was at art college in Falmouth we did photography as part of the course. I'd previously been quite anti-photography as I saw it as cheating. However, I really got into the enjoyment of it. I only used black and white of course, but I found after a while that I started looking at the world in black and white. I shared a house with one of the students on the pure photography course and he said to me once that, although he was technically a better photographer than me (I quickly forgot all the f stop stuff, exposure times and everything) I had an eye for a good photo. The way he descr

Congrats Wolfie (our wedding invite appears to have gotten lost in the post?).

Yes, I have seen a number of Collie x labs, who have been trained to do a huge number of tasks, and they do them very well. Without doubt, all I have met have had an outstanding temperament. A couple that spring to mind were under my ownership & used within a pig dog pack. Scamp, was my lead or main dog. He had a very good tracking nose and would go some distance to find a pig, once he had it cornered or stopped he would stand-off and use his huge barrel bark to signal where he was. He was no hero & would bail a 30lb piglet all day long , but he had enough bite and balance to leave a

As my brother is fond of quoting here , I the great words of stormin Norman “going to war without the French , is like going duck hunting without an accordion “

Pups are full off energy at the moment , road walks aren't really cutting it l, even on the lead they want to play . Let them off an they're flying over 8 bar gates to do laps off the field . Had mine out today a wee wander on a hill with cloud cover

I be honest I recon its this cloud seeding they doing

Being born into a dogmans household I learned valuable lessons early on.Whether its humans or hunting dogs 50% are a waste of oxygen.The other 49% are just average.But that 1%,When the stars align perfectly and you get an above average worker.It just ain't nothing better. 10 year ago I made a breeding that produced a runty pup.I tried to give her away but nobody wanted her so I kept her.Named her Mugz. She has worked well since her very first time.Never put a foot wrong.Last week I acquired permission with the biggest farmer in my area.The farmer took me to a groundhog set.Co

That Reform need to be Labours worst nightmare when labour and they will get in power. The tories have had it imho. I have also heard a local Labour party activist calling for drag hunting to be banned as he claims it's another excuse for hunting animals with dogs i also think they will make the licensing of airguns mandatory as lets face it if they banned both these it wouldn't be the ethnic minorities' who would be offended but people with hobbies and interests who labour are not bothered about anyway.

Whenever I read things like that it always makes me giggle at those friends of mine from home who were fully paid up members of the “Monday Club” always the first in the boozer Friday in work stuff, always the last out on a Sunday, chasing the weekend. I’m from quite a small town , maybe 3000 people , there other malpractice at getting out of work for any reason was attending funerals. As soon as someone was dead , no matter how tenuous the link , they’d be there suited and booted , 11 o clock , pints in hand . Genuinely made us laugh over the years at them often attending basica

Thier noise grates on me,Mrs thinks I'm crow obsessed, when I nail one it's like a scene from the birds they go mental

A fledgling Nuthatch having a bath in a stream this morning.

Nice one that man looking sharp congrats to you all, it’s my 40th year next year with my misses and am considering taking the plunge myself

Boots as a pup,here he is at 4 month's & 12 day's old on the first pic then again another 12 day's older on the second pic.. looking back he was never a problem rearing on,he self entered to all & everything,very easy dog to have around.

Postive for rotherham had one of biggest grooming gangs in England over 40 heads a seen at one time. Think it was on crime watch too. And they say positive.

My missus is taking kids abroad next week so that’s my holiday staying at home with my dogs in peace

If you get teh chance to try out the Fujifilm X series Mate then have a go, light but quality. I gave up my sponsorship/ambassador status wit hSony to get sponsored by Fujifilm ( I have the GFX 100ii Medium format series now and the Xh2 ) and the colours nad performance of the fujifilm stuff is unreal. Granted I don't use it for action but the xh2s is fast for sport stuff and the running dogs and the lenses are quite light. I wouldn't fancy lugging my 15k medium format kit up a mountain though. I'll stick to warm studios and the odd outdoor shoot

Grass cuttings and privet trimmings ……? We used to worry about polio, diphtheria, rickets, etc. I guess priorities change, eh ? Cheers.
