    That was the idea behind getting one, bit of long range practice over the summer months when while I’m waiting for all the crops to come off

    ? oh, it wasn’t cheap, but sometimes when I’m let out on my own I get a bit giddy and go mental ? did you see the life size red stag, almost a grand ? you would of needed a forklift to move it

    Well I’ve just got in from the show, no where near as much there as normal, but me, mosh and longshanx still had a good day out, met up with Robin ( foxer) and Dewayne ( wash wildfowlers ) and got a couple of quality shooting invites for the up coming season and after combining, didn’t really see anything that I wanted apart from a fox target that I’ve looked at a few times, so thought sod it and had a haggle and bought it ?

    That looks like a perfect spot for an afternoon nap ? ? in the sunshine

    Another Saturday another day at the kids play park, getting a bit closer to finishing it, high deck in today and the boards for the climbing wall, he’s now decided he wants fake grass putting between the play park and his games room/bar ( I need to get some pictures of the inside of that, it looks like a nightclub) now the grass comes in 4 meter wide strips, I was ok at the top but 50mm out at the other end so had to move the sleepers ? I think I’ve got maybe another 5 days graft left here ?

    The old girl would let me live in the house, she love me ? I could always ask my new mate to lend me one ?

    Fuel is crazy, I’m putting at least a 100 quid a week in my car now, I’m dreading once the birds are here and I’ll be putting between £200 and £250 a week in ?

    What is it with truck drivers, when I was working for a large haulage company over a number of years we had 2 that were convicted of messing with kids, one that had a prostitute in his cab in a truck stop that tried to rob him so he proper battered her and got jailed for it and another that kidnapped a prostitute killed her and dumped her on the moors, he got life, I think some of these lads spend to much time on there own, some of the stuff we would find in the cabs when they were in the garage was shocking

    ? yeah, madness, he wouldn’t be putting that much in if I was paying for the gear, after 2 cube of concrete he had me shift 7 tonne of type 1 in a bloody wheel barrow ? the tw*t, I’m knackered

    Proper over the top Bricky, who he fu*k puts a 600x200 foundation in for a 2ft garden wall, I tell you who, the tw*t I’m working for, I’m still waiting for Jewsons to drop the sand an gravel off so it’s going to be a late one, why anyone uses Jewsons is beyond me they are absolute clowns ?

    I know loads of people I wouldn’t have in my house and most of them don’t live in caravans, you can’t tar everyone with the same brush, I know a few travelers that I’d have nothing at all to do with but others that are some of the nicest people I know, you just have to take people how you find them, there’s good and bad in all walks of life

    As my farmer mate said, gypsy’s are just farmers that don’t grow crops or have stock, if he said to me can I come with you, or can I have a go then I’d have some concerns and the answers would be no but he just wants a job done, it’s the same as anyone else asking me to do the same, he must be ok because the lad who gave him my number is no mug and has known him for a long time and if he says he’s ok that’s ok with me
  14. Stavross
    I’m doing this more as a favour to the lad who gave him my number but to be fair I’ve never had any problems with them as long as we set things straight from the start, he knows if I go up with the rifle there has to be no one there and he’s told me where I can and can’t go, all he wants is the foxes gone and if he doesn’t stick to what I say, I won’t be doing it, so we’ll get on just fine

    Got a phone call this afternoon, someone saying a lad I know had given him my number and that he’d had a lot of chickens killed and a couple of goat kids on his small holding and could I go and do something about it, so I said I’d go up after work today, so off I went to get the lay of the land, taking a cage trap with me, when I got there it’s basically a couple of fields split into a few paddocks that’s owned by a gypsy and rented to gypsy’s to keep the horses, chickens, goats, ducks what ever they like in, but we won’t hold that against him because he seemed a sound lad and is just sick of

    Honestly mate, it’s a sh*t hole, it’s not very big but the land around it is massive, the house next door is a Manor House and his was where the house keeper used to live, he’s trying to get planning to build a big house on the site but every tree has a TPO on it and the council are having none of it

    At a ruff guess I would of thought it will be costing him between 9 and 10 grand when it’s done, there’s 3500 in timber, the price of timber now is mad, he got the sleepers and I think they were a 1000 quid, then there’s 20 tonne of type 1 and all the other stuff he keeps adding to it
  18. Stavross
    Got it stoned out, but never got the rest of the sleepers in because I thought I’d put the tube slide together, thought, that will only take an hour ? fooking nightmare, nothing lined up, then rain stopped play, luck I’ve built a little house to sit in, back on a foundation job tomorrow so I’ll probably put a Saturday in here to get a bit more done ?
  19. Stavross
    Just put a trail of bread into the oven ?

    Thanks mate, genuinely, this is the first time I’ve done anything like this, 2 years ago before the bat flu I was HGV mechanic for 25 years, the lad who’s working with me is a ground worker ( drains, foundation’s, concrete, that type of sh*t ) which helps because he’s sh*t hot in a digger, my plan was to do a couple of years at it the go back to fitting, but I’ve started buying dewalt gear now instead of snap-on and I don’t come home stinking of diesel anymore, so as long as the jobs keep coming I think I’ll keep working for myself a bit longer ?
  21. Stavross
    ? no, I don’t do stuff like this, I don’t know how I let him talk me into it
  22. Stavross
    It’s never ending this job, need to get the rest of the sleepers in tomorrow and stoned out, then get on to another job, probably have to put a few weekends in here to finish it
  23. Stavross
    Where’s my invite to come and waste all your ammo ?
  24. Stavross
    He’s got to go for the 8th now
