  1. Think the problem is you are analysing the people that make the reports and then the added spin put on by the papers were as all I,m interested in is the geographical location of the sighting and within a few miles radius of this sighting have had two or three more that don’t make the paper plus a deer carcass eaten out in classic fashion, so for me it will tick several more box’s than the more casual observer, the Cotswolds has many spring and early summer sightings year on year, and has done for as many years as I can remember in the 60/70 it was a bolt hole for the rich and famous much like
  2. Try picking up every turd you can find and posting them through her letter box, you will be amazed how quickly she realises the error of her ways, you don’t need to tell anyone or put posts on social media but a couple of bags of shit and she will realise she has pissed someone off so will either get rid of said dog or look after it properly,
  3. The butchers mentioned in the film was not far from you south hams, old but good worth a watch ?
  4. Honey makes a good antiseptic seal over open wounds, have cleared up some horrendous wounds using it, first used it to treat a hedgehog as I could not get at its injury’s and it worked a treat so use it now on any open wounds ?
  5. Did look at making one myself don’t seem to hard, but I have managed to get the old one working again, with a bit of sanding and filing, seems a bit graunchy on the cocking stroke so am in the process of making a piston sleeve for it to keep the cocking leaver and spring separate, I got it for nothing many moons ago when it was running at 6ftlb and struggling to hit the end of a house, have had it in bits and tried out different things over the years and in reality it’s been a great learning curve that I should take away and apply to a more well engineered springer like a hw95/80, as I,ve hom
  6. That’s why family’s were so big back then 3 channels and bed by 10 ??
  7. I lost my patterdale during lockdown couldn’t find a vet that would even see me, so we will go mitigating circumstances, or old photo from the 80s in Ken’s defence ???
  8. During the 80s we all had a sewing kit with a bent needle, I used to dock all my own pups and inoculate them, I never once tried to impersonate a vet was just carrying on what I’d been shown, shame it’s all over now nice to see ken keeping it alive, good job mate ??
  9. It will be in a kebab by Monday, can’t think of anything else that would skin out a whole animal and just leave a fleece and head ????????
  10. The population of raccoons in the uk is in the 1000s mate, they seem to be doing alright ??
  11. Spot on mate roughly what part of the country are we talking ??
  12. Don’t you have a lot of travellers down your way ???
  13. I fall over quite a lot and sometimes wish I was wearing a go pro, would make quite a funny compilation I think, did catch myself on my garden cctv last year done a full trip into a forward roll brought quite a bit of amusement when played back to family and friends, be safe
  14. Just put some bands on and had a little play, absolutely lovely hitting the target from the first shot, your a true gent sir and I’d like to publicly thank you?? now I really must stop ??
  15. Used to have them regularly in my garden then nothing for years, this is the first year I,ve seen them I have 3 different ones visiting, the hot dry weather seems to bring them out more I think they struggle to find worms and snails etc, as soon as it rains they come for the food a lot less, in truth I probably wouldn’t no they were about if my garden wasn’t camera,d up,
  16. If the hat fits wear it but the idiot label wasn’t aimed at you as I don’t no you well enough to justify calling you it, a noddy putting a snap tackle on a match rod is one thing, I don’t care how big a water is or how big the fish are with decent water craft I will always find and catch them in close proximity to the bank, the idiot label comes to people who buy 3-4lb test Curve rods then cast over a 100yrds of weed to drag the fish back thorough instead of walking round and finding them, I own a lovely set of Bob Morris euro spec hand made big pit rods caught one mid 30 on them and have not
  17. Clarissa the British record carp for many years taken from a heavily weeded redmire on a 1 1/2lb tc rod, the first 50lb uk carp caught on a 11/5 lb tc rod, Mary from wraysbury uk s first 60lb carp caught by Phil Thompson on an 11ft 2lb tc rod, these big 2-3 and 4lb test curve beach casting rods came into fashion so idiots could fish at rediculous ranges over weed and bully fish to the bank and are the reason half the big fish in the country are swimming round with half a face because it’s catch at all costs over water craft and skill
  18. Because he never done it, everyone involved from the residents of the resort to the police and parents of the missing kid will clutch at anything to get this put to bed so it removes the spotlight from them, it’s just a bit of prison bullshit being blown out of all proportion
  19. I did try to warn you that it’s a bit early to be taking your training wheels off, maybe better staying in soft play for a bit longer
  20. 11ft 2lb 25lb uncaught river beastie enjoy the fight, ??
