  1. It’s not just sentiment I do it to make money, have bought and sold future classics for years, have a 1990 Saab 900 aero turbo locked away that I paid £800 for current value around £5k the series 3 £600 bought now at around £3k, buy and sell one or two every few years, a good clean unmolested early scooby would be what I would be after now for a big profit in a few years time but hopefully once I,ve got shot of my current crop I,ll be long gone, the secret is not to pay to much for storage as it will just eat any profit ??
  2. FairPlay some crackers there must say only ever had a couple of goes for mullet and found them one of the most frustrating fish I,ve ever fished for worse than floater fishing for carp ??
  3. The daughter got caught in a bit of an un forecast storm in the North Sea before entering the Caledonian, they had nets over the beds to stop them being thrown out and a bucket each as it was to dangerous to go above deck, loved the never ending daylight at this time of the year and the midges have been forgotten already so I definitely would not let them put me off going ??
  4. I never realised how important water is to our well being but after a thread on here a while back I have started to drink 2litres of water everyday, apparently if your mouth is dry your joints are even drier so rehydrating has become another of my daily routines, It’s just like running an old motor you have to dip the oil and water a bit more often and prevention is better than a cure
  5. Brings a tear to my eye every time I see another smiley going to the great scrapyard in the sky the last great transit ?
  6. Looks like Kev has stolen the lucky pink sleeve mate,
  7. Was told I,m bordering on high blood pressure at my last old bloke mot, main problem I get stressed going to the docs so it rises when I go in, I now check myself as suggested by gnash, and have cut out salt and gold top milk in my diet, have never done diets or anything else just moderation on everything, sadly excess weight and a lack of activity is a curse of getting old so I,m now the same weight as I was at 21 and try to be as active as I can, walk to the shop instead of driving and silly things like that ??
  8. Spell. Checker mate but yes you are right, ??
  9. My daughter just returned a week or so ago from a trip on a sailing ship down the Californian canal, scenery was pretty impressive but she was constantly spitting out midges while we had our evening FaceTime, would not let it put you off though plenty of deet or skin so soft, and some damp leaves on your fire at bedtime, reward is worth the payment ????
  10. Can’t help with your present pest problem, but I believe the common wood louse is a member of the shrimp family or has ties to shrimps and can be eaten in much the same way https://www.combatbugs.com/en/home/pest-identification/bug-files/pest-identification-lawn-shrimp.html
  11. If I had the space mate, but I,m clearing mine out to sell up, FairPlay to you and hope the girls dream continues ??
  12. This one was quite well known for obvious reasons, you would have thought everyone would have a pic of it, have also had wallaby,s taken from an enclosure on the Cotswolds carried over a 6ft electric fence and stripped out and eaten in the woods nearby, but after a thorough investigation it was done by Fox,s ???
  13. Quite an eye opener that one, have followed efa for a while and had him down as a big hurdle in dubious progress, but looked rather one dimensional and never had much of a plan B when walking over casually and knocking the opponent out in a round failed ??

  15. I use my iPad as my camera I carry a rucksack full of gear with me everywhere I go anyway so it’s no real problem and it does everything I need from macro to panoramic plus video also has the added advantage of storing everything on my iCloud so even if lost destroyed or stolen my pics are still safe ??
  16. A mate of mine cut a Perspex window into the bottom of a bait boat and fitted a camera in that worked quite well ??
  17. just received this lot in the post the gov are on the case should all be sorted within around 25 yrs ?? it’s a free survey I have to collect ticks in the files and send them off,
  18. And the cat fish doing rather well in our rivers and lakes, mostly due to smuggled and dumped specimens
  19. There is a bloke down your way has a couple of clouded leopards, legally kept so you never no mate ?
  20. Gave me a fright for a second there mate ?

    You forgot they are racist as well ?? I no a lad who’s mum taught in South Africa and brought one home with her had a very real hatred for the darker types ?
  22. Time to get on the Chinese snide ones mate breaking or loosing a £20 go pro won’t hurt half as much, no a few lads that have bought them and recon they are the bollox plus you get all the bits with them that are extras with go pro like waterproof case etc ??
  23. I was told some years back that around a dozen cats a year still get seized being smuggled in( have never looked into it) makes you wonder how many don’t get caught, the serval is what a lot of the savanna/Bengal cat type things are bred from so would imaging it’s someone planning a get rich quick breeding project, all helps to top up the gene pool ???
