My Nan died in my arms at the age of 97, I,m not a religious person and I don’t fear death or have any preconceived idea,s, but that day I had a very very strange experience that made me think there may just be something else going on,??

for pouch’s just stop next time you see a leather sofa at the side of the road and cut a square out, or the sample books from furniture shops have miles of nice leather in ?

I seem to go back and forth, but in essence I think TTF is easier to learn with as you have a wider band to line up were as OTT is a fine line to get lined up so is harder to start with but becomes a bit more accurate once you are up and running, if that makes sense ?

I use this stuff cheap as chips seems to have similar performance to tbg but lasts ages and don’t loose all it’s power in winter, I use flats more in summer but always have one of these in my pocket as back up, another plus with it is no need for any cutting wheels, band boards, or tuck and wrap just a pair of scissors and long nose pliers only down side is some forks are designed for flats only ??

Without sounding like to much of a snob, but the lad is on some pretty exclusive syndicates so crowding is not an Issue, he’s packing the motor and setting off at midnight ?

Just had a phone call from work and the JLR Halewood plant that I supply parts for are re opening on June 8th so I’ll be back the week before but they must be starting with a skeleton staff as the first few orders are very small, which I’m not to sad about as I like a few days off ,

Not sure were you are but we can go fishing from Wednesday, both my sons syndicates are reopening and he’s tying rigs as we speak ?

Same as that mate, but it’s all part of our learning, ive just been out for my walk and have been watching a pair of red kites that are obviously nesting in a wood I have permission to walk it’s the first time I,ve seen them this near to Bristol I will find there nest but wouldn’t think of disturbing it will just observe from a distance, but if it wasn’t for those early days I would probably never have noticed them or known what they were, it’s just part of my evolution and though I do have regrets I don’t regret it?

In my younger days I’ve dug plenty of Fox’s and badgers and your man above is just reciting what he has read in the press and has clearly never been on a dig, he is describing baiting not digging, when it was legal, I’d simply bag em, release them or shoot them as soon as breaking through, if you had decent terriers they were more about baying to guide the digger than engage in combat, locators and patterrdales changed things a bit, but baiting is different to digging and by merging the two things into one it’s easier to turn public opinion against all terrier work, sad times ?

Observers book of eggs was my guide as a young egg collector had most of the series as a kid ??

Here is a funny little coincidence, have this book on the side of my bed and read a chapter from time to time when I can’t be arsed to rise, am really enjoying it because they are based a few miles from me and are poaching on estates that still excise today and which I am very familiar with, well in one chapter they are out on the pheasants and had a strange Earnie feeling, absolute silence no other animal noises around, just by there description of the evening I new what was coming and sure enough they have squeaked in a black leopard, this would be in the early 70s I’m guessing, from the exa

Have seen sparrowhawks take them with relative ease, they seem to almost mix with them as they are flying round over water then quite effortlessly pick one out and get on with it

Cats tend to differ there methods depending on prey I think mate mostly stuff we find is suffocated by a throat bite or over the end of the snout, only thing I’ve found that had been gripped across the back of its head was a badger carcass, which is quite interesting and quite rare, as a badger wouldn’t be natural prey for a cat it indicates they are adapting to an abundant food source and learning how to deal with it, a jaguar would come off badly if it attacked a crock front first so they have evolved to sneak up and Pearce the scull with one bite

Did you shoot the woody mate ?

Best way not to get upset by what others are up to is stay off face book and row your own boat,?

Sorry if I put this in the wrong place I don’t frequent these parts regularly, I have an old mercury that I,ve mucked about with for years tuned it to within an inch of its life, but the articulated cocking arm has snapped and been welded a few times over the years and now it’s taken on a curve and seems to be jamming and won’t allow the gun to cock anymore, so would anyone have a cocking lever they would sell or can anyone direct me to someone that sells them willing to buy a complete gun if anyone has an old knackered one they would be willing to sell for spares cheers GM

The other problem with conspiracy’s is governments actually like and encourage it as it works as a perfect smoke screen for them to just carry on in there sly feckless manner and brand anything as conspiracy or more recently fake news if it goes against there wish’s, it’s all just a game that we are in but have very little control over, so don’t let it ruin your life

Your best leaving well alone mate, of all the regulars on here you seem to have more trouble reading outside the lines of what your told than most, it will just twist your Mellon and leave you more dazed and confused than when you started ??

It was on the side of a flooded stream so no point dna testing, plus it costs a lot and results are very seldom in your favour unlike on all these police programs on telly the guy that found it is also on the podcast if anyone wants to hear his story ?
-
Good luck with that mate hope it works for you but there is so much small print and loopholes it’s not worth a wank, I,m self employed had to shut my business on the 20th March fail to meet any of the criteria for this magical free money and am living in less than £300 a month which is what they assessed I’m worth, not asking for any sympathy as it’s what I expected and I’ve always relied on me to bring home the bacon which is what I will carry on doing ??

Nice one born, like it ?
-
Another good reason to keep a catty in your pocket mate, they all f**k off when a ball bearing hits them up the arse at 200ft/sec ?
-
Yes but you can’t give them an asbo until they,ve made a nuisance of themselves and it’s to late then ?

Forest of Dean mate ?

I wonder how many badgers and hedgehogs will be rushing to his bedside to help him the dopey prick, with any luck his mate chwis pecker will go to visit him and they both go down with the virus, we can but hope ?
