A year old now

As some of you know my best mate Chicky died last year and in his honour the lads from Yorkshire had a plaque made and set on a spot that he loved ferreting. Maybe something similar could be done for Johnny ........

Today marks the 77th anniversary of D-Day. The average age of those landing on the beaches was 20 years old, babies that became men. It was a honour chatting to a veteran who was there, he'll be 101 now.

I'd still shag her

A week to the day after receiving the awful news I decided to pay my own little tribute to my old buttie John - or 'gobby' as he was affectionately known to us by taking a walk out with the lurchers to the forestry and moors above our little village where we spent most of our childhood. In no time time at all those long forgotten memories came flooding back to me, like the time we miraculously found in pound note as we were literally in the middle of nowhere - we invested that wisely in pop and crisps when we got back home ?. Also, the time we saw a couple shagging in the forestry and crept up

Hi all, I'm John niece, just dropping in to say thank you everyone for all your lovely words and messages, us as a family are heartbroken from the sad news, I've seen a couple of people asking what have happened, John was in a bicycle accident on the 30th May, in the home town where he was living, I've set up a fund raising page on Facebook, the link have been put up, everything is up and running on there, once again thank you all for your lovely words and messaged John was a really loved person and knew so many people. ??? John Harris you are going to be missed. ???

Deer/grey bitch pups, two weeks old; Very even, so I'll wait a few weeks before choosing one. This one has a slightly bigger head, but they'll change over the weeks. Cheers.

Last night, courgette, tomato and spinach stew, cooked with white wine, garlic and chilli, very Mediterranean and very nice today a bit of a treat, Cumberland sausage ( the missus pick up from stokesley farmers market) creamy mash bit of veg and shallot gravy ? very nice ( I need to learn how to take decent pictures of food)

Managed to bag this vixen tonight at last. It’s been a long job. Had her mate three weeks ago, her nippers last week, (only two) and missed her on the same night. Spotted her lying down on the hillside as I drove up to my parking area and she legged it on seeing me. After waiting out elsewhere thinking she’d head there, on near dark I went back to where I’d seen her earlier and there she was, mousing. Sticks up and down she went with the Hornet. Got another litter nearer the farm to deal with next week ??

Working class people couldn't give a fck. Don't like what mps are doing....well get out and campaign for a candidate that represents you, or stand yourself. British people may moan online, but then they go down the halal kabab shop or queue up at the Romanian car wash giving em cash.

The glory of the character of that generation of young men throws the shame of our generation into stark relief !

Nice idea that....or what about a bench put on a nice scenic spot he frequented. We lost someone very close some years back and me and his son carried a bench miles to a spot we both liked.....me and the lad sometimes go and sit there its almost like we're all back together again....bit morbid but comforting in a strange kind of way.

First cross; Cheers.

I have this fantasy where I'm giving priti Patel one and we have a whole line of African servants that we have rescued from a dingy, we dress them up in funny gold suits and they serve us glasses of prosseco and pigs in blankets. Yes, I have been on wine and standing in the sun all afternoon before someone asks ??

Well, made the long drive home yesterday. Me and John were very close mates for a lot of years, sadly when I moved away we drifted further apart, but sadly that’s life. I’ve got so many good memories of the times we spent together, some I’ll share here at some point. But we spent a hell of a lot of time stomping hills and fields together and occasionally even stranger places like Alton towers! His kids were a big part of my life for a lot of years. I went to see Wales 1234 and the two of us went to see John’s Mrs and kids. They were pleased to see us, and as heart breaking as it was, it always

Nice catch & Retrieve by Ronnie & Narla getting a mouthful as well which can only do her a world of good ?

problem is not with her or any other previous home secretary, it`s the judges, solicitors, the human rights act and the do gooders who block planes taking off to take the scum home

In recent polls, around 80% of the public said aid should be cut. Boris wants to cut aid from 0.7 of GDP to 0.5, about four billion pounds. At least 30 Tory MP's are going to join Labour and vote against any cut, in fact Labour actually want to INCREASE overseas aid ! Any MP who votes against the cuts should have 25% of their salaries deducted and given to British charities !!!! See which way they vote then ! Cheers.

I think when you get older you start to appreciate your hunting fishing etc more and personally I don’t clash myself as I used to years back, I like to make all my own gear for all sorts of hobbies as I have always done, numbers arnt the big thing for me now, firstly the rabbits and fish are not here in the numbers no more, I take everything at a much slower pace nowadays, I had a heart attack 8 yrs ago yesterday and also get angina, I like to do my hobbies myself mainly, I can go when I want and come home when I want, nothing like being out with a ferret and my collie netting a few rabbits or

We had a great day! Went to the gunshop an shooting range. Went back to bigmacs for some of his wifes home made spag bol. Very nice and great hospitality from them. Then went to bigmacs awesome farm shooting. As we got there we parked the cars up got the guns out.. there was a jackdaw in a tree i took with a perfect headshot jist dropped like a stone. Then mac got a crow from a hedge next to it. Went for a little walk and i saw some woodpigeons in a field about 100 yards away. Crept up the side of a fence and a few flew off but some stayed.. got rested on the fence an took the c

Well my Gout is a lot better and I can actually walk now so decided to have a wander. On arrival at my ground I spotted a doe in the buttercup meadow and watched her for a while, no kids in tow. I then headed to the bottom of the ground in search of the old buck I've seen a few times but nothing about apart from a foxy deposit ? Heading back to the buttercup meadow I spotted the doe and watched her for around 20 minutes or so as I needed her to move off so could set up on the side of the copse. When she moved to the corner of the field I was able to slip around her unnoticed, just as I was i

I have noticed one thing which might be a strange side affect since having the jabs. I been drawn to buying tools n shit off tinternet which all suspiciously seem to originate from China. Spooky

That's a nice view ?? This used to be my view but I took redundancy late last year and don't have to go any more!! ? That's me with my back to the camera with the silver coloured helmet on, Had 42 years of the foundry, Was ready to pack in as I got a dose of (I think) covid early last year, I'm asthmatic and have copd but since then I can't even get up the stairs in one go!! Still have three years til my oap but everything's paid off so can take it easy now!! I was cleaning the downgates on a 70t ladle here, My mate must have been off as he used to do

My mum has a bench for my old dad and a brother,it's on southsea front and looks out over the water,each time i visit my mum i go down and have a sit and it sure feels a bit different that when i sit other places and think about them both.

Now, I think you know what you're doing charts, but these'll be too big, too slow, won't have enough drive, no agility, and will take too long to mature before you can start working em. Do you really think you're making the right decision? ?

Only 5 or 6, amateur!?

I meant to say above, the main thing that the kids asked when we saw them, is could anyone who has any photos and especially videos with John in them, could they please forward them to me or Wales1234 (drop one of us a pm for a number), so that we can pass them on. The idea of forgetting things like the sound of their dads voice is a hard one, but there must be a few videos out there of John at the fishing competition etc which would be lovely for them to have.

I accidentally became a mole trapper 9 years ago after moving to France. The farmer that we rented a cottage off knew I was into fishing and shooting so asked me if I'd give it a go. He bought me 6 traps that turned out to be worse than useless. After struggling for a couple of weeks I phoned my old mate who had showed me how to go on when we used to drop in on his mole jobs while out shooting and fishing. Keith sent me all his old traps and it went from there. I put six of his traps in and caught five moles by the following morning. The farm is 300 hectares of very mixed soil types and I

I've bred these for feeders next season hoping I've a few hens. Plus the hen bird that's reared there was a last year's bird an she's going to be a feeder. So I needed to makesure she was going to be a decent rearer before I put any goldfinch eggs under. I've two Mexican hens bringing four chicks up each. They laid four an reared four so not bad going to say there's no cock birds in with them.

Fury fan boys are sickly creatures.

As most of you know , I shoot slugs in both of my FAC air .22&.25 . Well to day thought I might go back to shooting pellets in 22 18 gr , as I have a difficult permission for slugs , .22 H&N 21gr slugs alway pass through so went down to my range , but out side , so I could try these 18 gr out to 100 yards . Without altering any settings it’s bang on at 45 yards same as slugs . Went out to 100 yards and even in the wind , a very tight group about 20 mm . who said pellet can’t be shot at high speed are completely wrong , these 18 gr are close on 1000 FPS ,998fps From now

The kindness of the lads on here SKoT wolf got in touch with me on here to say he had a little some thing for me, And could we meet up now iv talked to skot for years on here Took the mick out of him more than once just banter mind as we do lol So I told him he was welcome here any time Well a day and time was set and he turned up and strait away pulls out a hw97kt black line out in 22 And hands it to me IT'S YOURS Naaaa I can't take this No you wanted a project now you have one Take the wrap off and blue it I was gob smacked

Funnily enough we’ve had that same discussion mate. Think something will be in the pipe line. His kids also had a couple of requests yesterday.

That sounds a great way of life fellah? I'me a retired old guy, but I still do four months on the Wasps during the Summer,.. then I trap the moles in the Springtime. I still like to travel around the country in the late Autumn /Winter time, meeting interesting folk and playing around just hunting up a few rabbits..I never take many, just enough for some sport for the dogs. Locally, here in the South, we do not have the shushis in large numbers anymore, so unless I get asked to clear a particular place (for cash)..I pretty much leave them alone. I've killed more than enough...?

A time when boys became men , and a time proud to be English deepest respects to those who fought and gave there lives for the price of freedom , But .. oh how far our country has fallen ,

The smallest mesh you can get is the best to keep vermin out but the normal inch by half inch stuff does the job.

If nobody is willing to give him a reference and if he’s got a police record of recent irresponsible or violent behaviour then he won’t ( or shouldn’t) be granted a certificate. No need to contact them. We all have our own moral code , and I for one wouldn’t be able to look the guy in the eye again if I’d been on the phone and bubbled him to the FEO . Remember he is a friend , ok a bit of a prick but still a friend . The police are very good at keeping records, ask anyone who has a DBS , they can Chuck up 30 year old driving convictions.

Brought the pup for a early tench session might be a lucky charm

Hi, I’m John neice, I’ve just had this link sent to me by someone that knew my uncle.which may I add( thank you soo much) . words can’t describe how we’re feeling right now, but all your lovely comments mean soo much to us as a family. John was a great man and a wonderful dad, someone who we looked up to as our brother more than an uncle.. he sure was an inspiration to all of us, we share soo many memories as a family, John will be missed dearly, thank you all for your lovely messages and thoughts we as a family are sure going too miss this man so much, and I noo he was a well loved man that w

Just being devils advocate here . People grow up , and people change as they get older and think of consequences. For my part I got into some violent scrapes when I was younger. This is before CCTV in town centres . So I never got a police record. When I got my shotgun certificate I fell in love with shooting. I wouldn’t do anything to jeopardise my shooting. “Have one more pint for the road “? No chance . Any form of physical confrontations , have to be , you are backed in a corner with no other option . I honestly believe that my shooting made me responsible , and behave myself
