I,m not a fan of conifers and one of that size will soon be uprooting your fence, they also stop anything else from growing near them as they take all the moisture and natural light, even grass won't grow to close to them, my advice would be to rid yourself of it while it's still a manageable size, or as others have said use the trunk for a bird feeder base,

Should have said the make is Swann, it's around £200 and it takes about 30 mins to set up all the plugs are colour coded so it's pretty idiot proof, and most of the 30mins was taken up clipping the wire along the underside of the facia, it comes with two or four cameras depending on what you need but you can add more cameras if you want, I got it in Maplins, it's been running for over a year and there is still loads more storage space, there is a small box that sits under the telly and you can go back over all the recorded footage or watch it live on your telly, Highly recommend it, even if

I bought a plug and play set up from Maplins for around £200 it takes up to four cameras and the picture quality is great, even picks up mice and frogs on the lawn at night, and for all the people saying it makes know difference they just cover there faces, that may be true and would not be helpful for the police to get a prosecution, but they still wear the same shell suit everyday so face or know face, if I have a photo of a faceless smack head that's still enough for me to collect them from the street and carry out a thorough interview in the back of my van, they will grass on there own mum

I would think it more likely to be were the catty was kept I,e in a window with sun light shinning through or the rubber that the bands are tied on with reacting with the latex, if you ask anyone that goes lure fishing and uses those jelly rubber type lures, they will melt together when stored in the same box or go all sticky and stick to other rubber stuff,

I wear camo trousers and crocks all the time because my backs so fecked I can't bend down to do laces up, I only wear boots when walking the dogs in the winter, and it takes longer to put them on than getting the dogs ready and my Rucker packed, I even wear crocks to work, have one nice pair of shoes to take the missus out but even that entails 10mins of rolling on the bed to reach the laces, as you get older functionality becomes much more important than fashion, I,ve just been out and cleared 4ton of hardcore off a job this morning in me crocks, my backs hurting like shit I,m stiff as a boar -
think it was a Nintendo how times have changed, back in my day the swappers normally went, lurcher for terrier , then terrier for pigeon loft, pigeon loft to canary,s the Internet has ruined everything

old ruffus hussey seemed to do pretty well with stones, there's even an old video of him on some American chat show hitting things out the hosts hand live on telly, pre Internet days I used to keep the wheel nuts off the cars I scrapped and they made cracking ammo for the bigger tubes and square elastic of the time,

I should,nt say it but when I go on day ticket waters I usually look at what things are banned and use that, it took 20 mins on the zig on a water were zigs are banned to have one, but my best fish are Uncaught Unknown ones, I had two 25lb commons from the Gloucester to sharpness canal a few years ago and I still rate them as my best catch as its 16 miles long about 30 meters wide and has no locks I fished most Friday nights for two years for those two, but the wildlife and and surroundings make it worth it, I just like being outdoors really, I,ve seen many things that you just don't get to se

I started carping in 1990 mate had my first thirty a couple of years ago, I,ve fished rivers and canals out of the way for most of the time, but thought I better join the club so went up the monument and had one, also a good time for catty practice when your sat by the water for days on end, my mates lake must be lined with steel balls from days of winter boredom

I have bolted a hare from a land drain with terriers when such things were considered acceptable, quite a surprise when your expecting a fox to pop out, have also seen a few in boggy ground when there was far nicer grassland around them, had a hare run up to my border Russell cross and start boxing around it in March, and had one run into my legs when the dogs were on it, that's about all my strange hare encounters and all took place in the early 80s when I could

but we should be changing to a wind turbine a solar panel and a teslar battery, but we won't because no one will tell you how or give you a hand getting off the ground because they are making to much money selling out of date technology to you and lining there pockets, and reading a set of guidelines drawn up by the very people robbing me does not make me feel anymore reassured, share holders equal price rises

I don't buy from dangkung but use the equivalent to1745, I really like it but the size of the loop you make at the forks makes a massive difference, a single strand on a pickle fork but a loop of one third band length on my normal catty shoots 10mm steels lovely, were as I have a full length double on another one and that fires 12mm leads with ferocious power but the hand slaps are equally ferocious, so I would say a loop of one third is my favourite all rounder, if you make the loop with a piece of tube slid over instead of tuck and wrap you can adjust the loop size with a bit of spit and a g

I recon that's just me and you then mate, I,m old and fecked so I only work two or three days a week which gives me two days were I just wander round in the wilderness with my dogs doing a bit of whatever I want, I have a catty in most coat pockets two hanging up in the tipper and a bag of ammo in most coats to, i always fire a few shots into the coppices before I enter to give the deer a heads up because my dog has a distinct dislike for them and in the valley I spend a lot of my time there are many eyes looking down on me, so they do have many uses apart from getting lunch or cutting tins in

I get your thinking but why does it have to have a left wing solution? If energy companies are all having secret meetings to inflate the value of their products then it leaves the market wide open for competitors to enter and the government should do anything they can to stimulate that and prosecute the cartel. If they can't then why would they do any better job of running it themselves? Better yet, if this accusation has any legitimacy buy shares in any or all of the Big Six! They have to go up in value because they control the market right? yet a quick search for the 5 year share pri

I had our meters read a couple of weeks ago and the meter reader was telling me not to get the new smart meters fitted as they are the same as the ones in the USA and have been linked to lots of illness's,apparently they emit radiation and you cannot read them from outside as they tell you, I will not be getting them fitted, you are legally within your rights to refuse them, your only obligation is to have a meter,it doesn't matter what type, WM and for the privalidge of giving you a small dose of radiation on a daily basis it will cost every home £360 roughly to get them fitted, the only rea

if you go to your local stream or foreshore if your near the coast an hour with a bucket will get you a load of small round pebbles that are pretty good and free I use them with square or Barnett type bands

it's proshot mate,the bloodshot is a model, not to be confused with the eBay seller of the same name, the time of year is massively important when your collecting forks and most other woods, January and February is when the wood has less moisture and toxins in it, as soon as the sap starts rising at the end of Feb the wood is likely to split, I,ve used hazel all my life and never had one split, I also cut a load of hazel sticks to dry out for the stick makers as they take around three years to season and most of them can't be assed so I have a rotation system for drying so I have a load to se

I know what you mean, he is the man and it would be nice to own an original made by him, I,m probably going to order myself a scorpion from him in the not to distant future and as I already have more catty,s than enough I am prepared to wait if I have to

yes that's me I pop in for a look now and then, I think they are a bit further forward in the states regarding the whole slingshot scene than we are though we are catching up fast, people like blue skeen and ruffus hussey were the reason we are were we are today I think and some of the lads on YouTube now are taking it to another level, I guess the Internet is to thank for things like that, if your on the slingshot forum you can ask bill on there what's the delivery time going to be, he's very honest just a victim of his own success some times I think, have never heard anyone say a bad word ab

I know I will get slagged for saying it but proshot do make a few of his more popular models and you will get it in 24hrs were as bill makes them to order and they will take a while to get to you plus you may get hit for import tax, unless you can get him to mark the box as a gift, I have a hathcock target sniper from proshot and its sound only thing I think bills come banded up were as the proshot only send the fork,
