    As boyo says, jump on the bathroom scales with dog in hand, then just deduct your weight, easier if you set your scales to kg, if like me your maths is a bit junior school

    Beer

    Greyman replied to gnasher16's topic in General Talk

    as you have left it rather late in life to start a career on the piss may I suggest you forget the missing years, starting on beer working upto lager etc etc and just get straight on the cider, and I don't mean that clear sparkly shite that's all the fashion but the proper, still,cloudy gear produced in an oak barrel in a rat infested farmyard, only then will you know the pleasures of missing out days of your life in a blur, shitting yourself and waking up thinking were the fudge am I and how did I get here, and if you think that the girl in the exorcist can puke you should see some of the you

    I normally cut mine 30mm straight, for hunting with bigger ammo or 25/15mm taper for 10mm bb,s when shooting targets and the odd pigeon, regarding attachment I use the wrap and tuck method, there are loads of tutorials on YouTube showing how to do it, I,ve just started attaching my pouch,s with a bit of 4mm tube it works well and seems to last longer than when wrapped I've stuck a pic on hope you can see it, just stuck a couple more on hope you can see, you need to form a groove around the top of the fork,a round file is best, then wrap around the groove

    . That's what makes him such a good politician, he has just totally pulled the rug out from under the feet of the limp wristed leftie,s who have for twenty years branded him a racist and little englander, now there whole argument has just sunk, and now ukip can carry on wiping out the last of the labour support in the north, I think in the coming years it will be a make or break time for ukip, looks like Teresa may will win and she has said know snap elections,which gives them a couple of years to regroup and rebrand

    . I reared one some years ago called it Heidi hog, I can't remember the weight figures, but it has to be more than X amount of grams or it will die during hibernation, think it was 600,but could of been 300 I would check, mine was a real runt and took a bit of a beating from the dog so I had to keep it awake all winter it just lived under the kitchen cupboards and used a litter tray, but as a meat eater it did kick off a pong I treated it's wounds with honey which is an antiseptic and about the only way to treat them as you just pour it on, hope that helps a little good luck

    The bit I can't get my head around is, it seems that young people are blaming the older generation, and yet youth unemployment across the eu is off the scale and the main reason every young person in Europe is heading across here for our relatively buoyant job market, little bar stewards would be thanking us if they bothered to find out the truth

    I,m starting to think you are right about tbg being a waste of money and as Johnny bravo says it's just when your getting going they snap, a lot of people seem to be moving onto natural latex sheet, over tbg, don't know what the pros and cons are ? I have been buying 4mm natural latex tube from China lately and I,m liking it more and more, have, nt had any break as yet and I,ve changed my flats twice in the same time on my other catty, I can't see any difference in performance either

    Nice if it was a Wales, Iceland final, bit of a rocket up the arse of all the over paid toss pots from the big money teams,

    that's why there's so many here as there protected and nothing to kill them Badgers kill loads of them up there. Maybe you should tell that hairy prick Brian May, the area I walk my dogs in has taken a battering from pigs, hares barely clinging on, rabbits dug out of setts and eaten, then more young badgers take up residence, some nights it looks like a black and white train going past my trail cams, and the only things thriving apart from the pigs is deer, which are another total pain in the arse, sorry about that rant over I,ll pack my soap box away

    . That is some seriously nice grain in that fork, I would take a natty over a shop bought nine times out of ten, and at £15 banded, when you look into the workmanship involved it's a steal,

    Donator

    Greyman replied to j316's topic in Site Suggestions

    I would also like to become a donator but don't see why I have to put all my personal details in to become one, I would gladly pay a fiver into a PayPal account or even send off the money some way, but I,m an old paranoid fecker that's just started using the net this year, and I am reluctant to put my name and address plus phone numbers into cyber space, I,m sure I,m not the only person that thinks like that and recon you would have a lot more donators, if the process was just a simple clic on PayPal,

    what sort of thing you after mate,as in natty or manufactured, tubes or flats, targets or hunting? I think the main problem for beginners nowadays is to much choice, and to many vids on you tube making people think they can buy a gamekeeper John catty and it will make them into gamekeeper John, truth is he's an exceptionally good shot with millions of hours practice and would still hit a knats ass with a stick and some elastic bands, ATB

    nice gesture, good to get lads started

    I would say yes to that mate,for thirty years that's all I ever used, never had the Internet, catty,s were all home made and ammo was whatever you could find,

    my terriers caught one in the garden a few year ago, sadly the patterdale tore chunks out of it, but I took it in and put honey on the wounds as they are a bit prickly to treat, ended up living in my kitchen all winter as it was to small to hibernate it got quite tame but a bit smelly then in the spring I pass it on to some hedgehog charity ready for release, used to see them every year in my garden but not in the last five years

    used to do this a lot in my youth, great fun, the pigeons stand out like a sheet of white paper and allow you a couple of shots if you get it wrong, if you have a dog with a good nose take him with you as finding them in the undergrowth at night is not easy even when you saw them drop, the worse part of it when I was a young un, was carrying the huge car battery we used to use for our lamp, but with the modern Cree type torch,s you will have a great time, go for it and enjoy, a most effective way of culling pigeons both feral and wood

    one of my best spots and I would imagine it's the same everywhere is a log across a brook, as it seems nothing likes to get its feet wet, I have one such spot and at night it's like a motorway, it's in a thick hedge as well so you have to crawl in to a sort of natural tunnel and place the cameras, but it's none stop busy once darkness falls

    I would be surprised at that price, I have several with red ir illumination and was worried about theft as you say, but in the six months I have been setting them, dozens of people have walked past them and not one has even looked toward the camera, it's not really a flash more a dull glow, I also make sure that when I set my cameras, each one is watching the next one so if any were stolen I should have a piccy of the thief unless they managed to find them all which is very doubtful, I have been trying to capture some otters I found last year so I set cams on both sides of the river so unless

    I,m the moaniest old b*****d you will ever meet, and I am talking from personal experience vets like doctors and dentists all have an unwritten rule of closing ranks and will not testify against one another, I did not say don't complain, I said sort your dog out then speak to a proper solicitor and not an armchair legal expert on here, as there are far to many of you, giving both false hope and useless advice, and right on que you arrive, anyway. Hope the dog recovers I,ll get my coat now,

    Others may disagree, and admittedly there are lots of better catty,s around but as a starter catty the old wrist rocket type design is a good choice, because it's ambidextrous, and those tubes will last a lot longer than some of the thinner Chinese tubes and much longer than flatlands, you can trim them down to length but do it little at a time as you can always cut more but can't put any back on, I would say have a play with it as it is for a while, and if you like it you can either make or buy one that suits your style, and if it just gets thrown to the back of the cupboard you have,nt lost

    Sorry I have know photos, but thought I'd share, on Monday I was working in a nice big house on the outskirts of Bristol , and fancying a break walked to the little shop up the road,on route I passed a row of big old oaks, and saw a couple of little shapes darting round the trunk, thinking I may have spotted a tree creeper I got close and watched, really chuffed when a pair of nuthatch came round the corner, have,nt seen one in years

    Reminded me of when I grew a naga chilli plant, and half way through picking the chilli,s and putting them in olive oil, after trimming a few bad bits and getting the juice on me mitts, I needed a pee, the result was much the same, good story though made me and mine laugh,

    I felt my freedom at 5am on the morning of the referendum, as I have been a staunch opponent of the eu, since the Blair/brown traitor alliances signed the maestrict, Lisbon treaty,s and gave a raft of our rights over to the eu without a care for anyone's opinions other than there own, the ratchet clause they signed would have eventually seen us drawn closer and closer, until we were in the euro and totally governed by Brussels without ever having a say, this referendum started in 1993 for the likes of me, not six months ago, so another year or two to finalise a good exit is fine, i,m still fee
