    If you supply marina,s the boatman stove that's the most popular model, only takes 6" logs which can be a pain to cut in some ways but smaller diameter logs and a drop saw make a lot less mess than a chainsaw and is a lot quicker to fill your bag

    Keep looking on review sites, Amazon also do product revues I know some of those cheap machinemart ones can glow a bit red if you get them a to warm but it's only a metal box really let us know how things go
  3. Don't know much about telescopes but on a tightbudget I would always go for a good second hand model over a cheaper new one, not knowing the age your daughter, but if she has an iPhone there are some pretty good free apps for astrology, my daughter holds her phone up and it names all the stars and planets it's looking at which is really interesting and quite educational, good luck with it what ever you choose
  4. The reason prosecutions are up in the north, is because it's really hard to prove that 4 lads accidently crashed through a farm gate in a four X four catapulting a pair of bull X,s out the widow which just happened to land behind a hare and kill it while there mate miraculously was stood by the gate filming the whole incident on his phone, were as one bloke walking his dog,s on public footpath,s accidentally gets on a deer or a hare and is really sorry and upset about it is very hard to convict, as is a group of men/women following a drag scent when there dogs accidently get off after a real
  5. So if your white and have a good day in court it's ok, but if your black it's not, judge,s are normal people like us and react to events in there life like us, so if old judge wakes up in the morning gets the ride with Mrs judge then goes down stairs and checks his lottery ticket only to find he,s had a little win, he comes to work in a good mood and some people that would normally go to prison have a bit of a let off, but if old judge woke up to find his car had been written off by a drunken Blackman he might not be so lenient, its the way the cookie crumbles so stop being so over sensitive y
  6. 200 hours took me two years to complete,got breached because I did,nt do it in a year and my mate who was the reason I got 200 hrs told them to stick it up there arse and got 14 days, truth be told I,m to old for either of them now and just enjoy a normal boring life, as you say lesson learnt ?
  7. I Was discreetly sneaking out of a large private estate I,ve been snooping round for the last 8months when the bank gave way, the guy that owns all the land was very decent about the whole thing and I am now allowed to park on his driveway and have a 1000 acres of pristine English woodland for my cameras to go up in, he even towed my truck into his farmyard when I got it out and let me keep it there for a couple of weeks until I sold it, every cloud and all that,
  8. You should see it when I light the fire ?
  9. Nothing like keeping things in perspective eh mate, surely tar and feather him and burn all his family would be more in keeping with such a heinias crime, as being black
  10. I,ve both been to prison and had to do community work in my lifetime and if I had the choice tomorrow I,d go to prison, community service as it was known in my younger days is a never ending drain on your life, when you only do a few hours a week it takes forever to complete, I don't really think the colour of his skin done him anymore favours than anyone else that could afford a good brief , I expect his solicitor bill was more than a peasant would earn in a year , so not really a massive let off when you weigh it all up,
  11. We are in a fiat monetary system and not a gold backed monetary system which is why governments can just print more money whenever they like, but everytime more money is printed the existing money gets a bit more devalued until we are left with hyper inflation and the money in your bank account is worth nothing, sadly as soon as you enter that system of money the only certainty is that it will collapse, we are fecked just no one has bothered telling us yet, gold and silver will outlast all else it always has
  12. If you have a few quid and want a nice watch, give your local cash converter a look you will be amazed what people will pawn and many of the shops don't seem to have much of a clue either, one of my mates has made a few grand just buying watch,s in cashconverters then taking them to the jewellers about a mile away, his best one cost about £400 and was sold an hour later for £2200 It's about knowing makes, models and brands
  13. Thumbs up to the old land cruiser defo the one, but for proper off road go anywere you can't beat a smiley tipper here,s me passing through a big ditch in mine, it honestly never took me 10 hours to get it out,
  14. I have zero understanding or interest in it, but have a few friends that dabble and seem to enjoy themselves, but from my very limited understanding its much like the old pyramid scam were everyone pays in and the first few make a killing but as soon as someone drops out the lot collapses, if you don't have money to loose stick with gold ,silver or premium bonds, as you can always get your money back and they will always make you money
  15. Toy,s flying out the pram, have a few drams its Hogmanay
  16. Your dead right there most of the cast are to fat or fecked to get in and out of a normal car let alone chase a mythical beast through miles of woodland in the dark it,s an hour of your life you can never get back so I wouldn't bother looking any further as you say lifes to short
  17. That's the one and I,d hazard a guess she,s never walked more than a mile in one go either, werewolf,s are a new one on me, better watch myself as I,m sleeping out for three nights this week and I believe it will be a full moon,
  18. Those programs are a tongue in cheek joke, the fact that people even think they are anything to do with reality, are as far removed from the truth as the program itself is,
  19. Yes really I deal with fact as much as possible, if someone said to me there is a yeti in the Himalayas how could I or you disagree with them as we have never been there and even if we did go there we would probably never cover a small fraction of it, likewise the Rocky Mountains up through into Canada, I know several shooters who travel to Scotland and piss there selves at your reply,s and simply conclude you never go out, as they say anyone who spends any amount of time out especially at night would have seen a cat up there, so you see it's not all about what the Internet tells you to think,
  20. Wonder how many terriers Dirty Harry shoots a year, in days gone by that looks like a good way of entering a pup but not a massive challenge even for one terrier that know,s it's stuff
  21. As disappointed as our terriers looked many moons ago when we thought we had the worlds biggest rats to at with the coypu on the Norfolk broads, turned out to be ten times the size but not ten times the foe, the only beaver living wild in the uk that I,ve Seen you could have run up to it and done a drop goal it just sat there grooming itself not bothered by us in any way
  22. There is a woman who seems to be the main Bigfoot person in the uk called Debora something, it's the lack of space for a creature of that size which makes it a no go for me, last time we had the bf discussion there was a British kid parked in a convenient lay-by with nice trainers on claiming he saw a squash and has been looking for it for the last ten years in a woodland covering 11 square miles a cat has a territory of around 150 square miles and the most nomadic cat with a tracking collar on that I know of covers a territory of 400 square miles, large preditors need to keep on moving so as
  23. Should also say always fit a carbon monoxide detector in the room with the fire and any bedroom the chimney runs through
  24. Same as navek checker plate over the old fire 6" hole through and a foot of flue pipe straight up the chimney been running for years
  25. I,m assuming you meant Lynx, the biggest problem with the tree hugging types that seem involved in a lot of these projects is they are more interested in reintroduction than the environment they release them into, if there are enough prey species to keep an alpha preditor alive and well alls good, but when you release them to places that can't sustain them problems occur, many animals actually thrive because of each other, like the water Vole has benefited from the spread of otters and red squirrels seem to have a strong allie in the pine Martin, so maybe the Lynx may turn out to be an asset
