Thank f**k they are back there are some good folk out there. Just picked them up from some lasses house, found running down a road.

There's a pair of peregrines living in the quarry.they raised 2 young this year.been watching them learn to fly and start catching pigeons the last few months.seen many strikes but the pigeon sometimes flys off leaving a load of feathers floating down..often see just a pile of feathers every few days. But they caught 1 today right by the side of the road..First pic he's just below the puddle.second pic zoomed in...after stripping feather and eating a bit and after a struggle to take off about 6 times he managed to carry it up the rock face..

Yer he’s doing ok, this will be his first propper season where I will push him now and find out what his weaknesses are but going off last season I am really pleased with him ?

I’m trying to get through now. I can’t upload a picture of my tea. Can you tell them to hurry up?

Can't agree Wilf sorry mate I would have help drag them out the way and I'm 70 sod them. They are the ones blocking the road stopping people earning a living or going for a hospital appointment etc etc. If they want to make a peaceful protest then do it at the side the road or in a park. Imposing there actions their views on other people imo is not peaceful. Have a petition see who supports you or make you point outside the houses of Parliament. Got no time for them and they are not doing their cause any good. Cheers Arry

Nice basic breakfast today - toast slightly burnt with loads of real butter, a couple of duck eggs and some brown sauce. The only thing missing was........ bacon, sausage, black pudding, beans, hash brown, tomatoes, mushrooms

Pork ribs I smoked yesterday,today!

Very last of my runner beans, mini roasties, foraged mixed wild mushrooms and chicken thighs. Cheers Arry

?

One of the worst traps folk fall into these days. Feck paying the equivalent of a mortgage every month just to have a brand new motor ffs

Facebook down - live updates: Instagram and WhatsApp also stop working in major outage | The Independent our customer care teams here are rammed due to this crap, you would think it was the apocolypse

Personally i think theres ways of doing things......these people are making conscious decisions to put themselves in harms way so have to expect harm can come to them.......could i drag some old geezer and sling him in a heap....no........could i move him as gently as possible...too f****n right i could,would and will if the situation arises.

Tell that to the woman who was crying and begging the protesters to let her through with her old mum to get to her cancer appointment.......... Cheers.

Cancer is here to stay but you hope that one day a miracle happens....you certainly dont promote it !!

Well last night was a case of the Good the Bad and the Ugly ? The Good 2 foxes were shot ....The Bad 2 foxes were missed ...The Ugly 1 fox was gut shot. My mate was shooting at his permission which is basically some stables with a few paddocks but he does keep hens. Set up and after calling for an hour without seeing anything I thought we would blank. I decided to go to the boundary wall and look in the next field as the property owner had already squared it with the farmer next door that if any foxes were seen in his field to shoot them. Immediately I picked up some eyes but the wind was gus

Went out tonight with just the pup, not the best conditions, warm still and ambient light from a nearby industrial estate but the rabbits obliged lol. First rabbit, jumped about 10 yards away, he never saw it ?, second one, good run and put 3 turns into and unlucky. Third one, a squatter, took it out the seat ? two laps of the field later and he dropped it at my feet, well crunched ? Fourth one, he ran it into the hedge and it popped back out and he had it, couple of small circles and he brought it back, almost to hand. ? Had a few more handy ones but he wasn't looking d

Another pic..

I’ve read the last two pages of this as I guess it’s all in response to the video of this insulate Britain mob getting pulled off the road going around. To me they used the minimum level of force needed to clear the public highway. There wasn’t any battering or roughing up. Old folks like many other demographics should be treated with a greater level of respect than the rest of us… but that has its limits, and it’s not unconditional. As much as we need to reclaim our community and morality we need to reclaim our senses and stop letting folks run riot because they fit in an untouchab

Well, I expected my hinges to arrive today. Got my new Opinel and a dreadful pair of knee pads instead! Chucking the knee pads out ~ not worth the hassle of trying to return them. " Wright Fit ". Avoid them at all costs! Or any like them. They're a generic style on Amazon. Anyway, having got That off my chest! Mate of mine, on line, had specifically asked to see the doors. Dunno why. But, as I finally got them pretty well 'fully' fitted, today, I took a shot. Thought I'd may as well show it here. Hinges'll probably be here tomorrow. Then, I have to sort the bloody catches out

Blimey this is all a bit Dear Deirdrie i didnt realise there was so many spotlessly charming gentlemen on here i must be the only dirty horrible Casanova left i used to fall in love every other month and never give a bollock for the sort i left behind.....had it done on me as well and life go's on its all part of learning....having only ever been completely faithful for the last 5 years of my now 18 year marriage i can totally get what true love and devotion is,not actually wanting to rump every bird that gives you the come on is a great feeling when that type of loyalty has never been require

Got them on our work vans..they also pick up on harsh breaking,over revving the engine..my Merc van has sensors that stop you driving up the car in fronts arse..every time a f***ing clown pulls in front of me..the van breaks and alarms go off? f***ing dangerous if you ask me ?

I can always tell when autumn is here when the pigeons start flocking up and I start seeing a lot of deer, where I’m working today is right next to the river Tees and it’s just a constant stream of woodies using the river as a flight line, the amount of duck is mental as well, might have a word with my mate because he has the land 800 yards up from here

I don’t get it, seemingly advanced craft that disappear into the sea and were calling them aliens….. …. they’re clearly Atlanteans!

Found a rabbit playing with two hares Sunday morning. Never seen it before.

Feed time for ginner

You can laugh boys but I haven’t sent a dicaprio meme for hours , it’s killing me. apparently I’m married as well .???

In all honesty no,bollocks to emergency situations or not.......sit your cowardly " look at me " arse in a road im trying to drive along and your going to pay for your arrogance in some way.....if im not allowed to make the rules up as i go along then neither are you,f**k em !

Serious question mate, what if you were following one of your loved ones in an ambulance whilst they were being taken to hospital and you came across them selfish cnuts?

I agree. I'm 69 and if I was being a shithouse, I'd expect a reaction. Just because you are getting on a bit doesn't give you carte Blanche to act the c**t. They are the instigators here, not the people reacting to them. Dragging them off the motorway isn't the same as giving them a slap, which I would completely disagree with. Cheers.

They ought skin the c**ts alive and mek them eat each other, that will teach the lentil chewing wankers

No wonder old tec free cars are making strong money …

Had quite a few stoats and weasels recently, another the other day..

Whoa slow down there amigo, you're heading for an early grave with that crazy lifestyle!!

? We are all individuals,...no set rules for everyman...? Last night could have been 'Red Panty Night',.. but after 47 years of marriage,. I chose to celebrate our anniversary at the Mowchat Tandoori, with a beautiful Chicken Jalfrezi .. I have no regrets, spending my life with one woman,...I had plenty of action in my youth, so I have no complaints? Facts are, its great when you change from constant fecking to priceless friendship,....I would be lost without my Wife.... Stay safe now Brothers,. all the best, OldPhil.?

Lamb kebabs today and cooked some pork ribs for tomorrows dinner also made a batch of chilli sauce

Just setting off on a lovely 6 hour drive to visit my new granddaughter for a few days. Just hope they’ve got some diesel up there for me to get back.

I didn't see anyone get battered , I'm all for protest , but I don't get what holding up working folk going about their day to day or preventing emergency vehicles etc will achieve. It's not like it's protesting against a dictatorship or communism, it's about insulation ffs. Go and bug some MPs...

Nice quick session this morning before the rain came. Met Geth (White Van Man) at 8am, put a few long purse nets in our pockets to stop the top of the hedges and the rest was up to thd dogs...took his cracking young bitch Dotty and my old hound Fergie... It all went well, bolted a few, caught a few mainly thanks to the dogs and missed a couple....sat in the sun and had a yap whilst drinking Coffee supplied by my "in the field carer", Geth...lol... even packed us up some ham and cheese wraps and short cake biscuits... thanks mate.. We were done by 10-30... both had a list of jobs

Fuel drivers need to be ADR qualified this takes approximately 1 week on a intense course and a refresher has to be taken after 5 years (ADR is a euro directive, it used to a hazpak that took a day to complete!) . What is not being reported is a great deal of fuel tanker drivers lost their ADR's during the lockdown and could not or did not want to take their refreshers. The average age of a HGV driver in the UK is 54 and as the ADR is not easy to pass a number have decided not to renew and take advantage of the current situation and switch to standard haulage. Also companies fuel tankering com

Another stoat this morning...

Both would be pretty useless to tbh.Whats the point in a protection dog that can be kicked up in the air

Seeing the rats building up again around our yard, always tell when autumn on the way.

Cheers, D.

Mine from today

Thats all well and good but I seiously doubt theres any line bred ones going back to fully tested bulldogs that havnt been diluted along the way.And there was just as many shit bulldogs about years ago as what there is now.

I held her back with jumping due to the leg break but been slowly introducing at least a fence or a wall on every walk, today was her first gate. Just 2 over and backs but it was no bother.
