    There on sort of modern cobble like stone pavements and they do just ride them down the side of the road,but then again with millions and millions of pounds worth of horse you'd sort of know what your doing when walking out the stable gate.Mind you you do see many a frisky one having a little jump about but never one out of control as such and there are dozens and dozens of horses about every morning....

    Well not on the road as such but they got really wide pavements with horsey pavement bits and crossings across the roads with horses on the green lights instead of people, your'd do fecking well to drive right through the town between 6.30 -8.00 without having to stop to let horses across the road at some point and it's just sort of funny to be driving a small truck along a main town road with 20 odd race horses being hacked out right along side you....

    This last 5 months has seen me driving through Newmarket most weeks early in the morning and it's been really cool to see all the different stables riding the horses out down the streets,there's stables and set up's all over the town and the money spent on them must be staggering indeed but it's pretty cool i think to see it all and i'm not a race fan,follower in anyway...
  4. They don't sit idle in kennels very well and can cause some right hassle when bored...
  5. She one of Derek's? and have honestly yet to see a duff ACD x,they all do seem to reach a decent grade in what work is chucked at them.. Cracking to watch a decent dog at work and well done indeed....
  6. Just being cautious and don't take it personal,but folks have to be careful with what they have no only due to anti's but now the dog thieving is rife it's closed doors and batten down the hatches for a lot of folk with dogs... Good luck with your plan....
  7. No but the chap that Katchum is on about has just this last week told someone about his oil leak and it's a seal that is needed but not sure where to get them. Is it a bad leak or is it weeping out?. He sure knows his stuff and as it goes it was him i got some spare wings for a mk2 off of a year ago and the forums on facebook are well worth getting on Vfr...
  8. Rats did my last birds,but a lad local to me has a few 2020 cock greenies at £20 each and there split for silver or agate i can't remember which one..
  9. He looks to be growing nicely into his skin bud...
  10. The blue egg threw me and the very best of luck in getting what you want mate,i like a small bird myself and did ok with some mules out of some free flying Irish hens in a mixed finch aviary.I once sat and watched 3 different finch type cocks birds tread one once one straight after the other the dirty slut ...
  11. Smart thing and lets hope a spa or cat don't nail it before it can spread some funky genes about,well done indeed..
  12. Bullies?? and i sure miss this time of year in a aviary when it's about to kick off...
  13. Where i launch my boats it's near Orford Island which was one of the best cod fishing beaches on the Anglian coast if not the best,no cod there any more and it's summer fish like rays and Bass being caught as well as just pin whiting during the winter these days..The sea is warming ......
  14. Are the wild chaffies your way suffering from sore feet and legs?,can't remember the name but it's a fungus and it was hammering them hard all over a few years back and iv'e not been anywhere where iv'e seen a few of them about so thought i'd ask as it seems you have a few about..
  15. My one climbed on me first thing then made me a cuppa in bed ,had my jab and my Ranger passed it's MOT so the week iv'e had off fixing it wasn't wasted..Off out in a hide pigeon shooting tomorrow and i'll see if i can hit something flying, which is a thing that has alluded me for some time now..
  16. Feck's sake mate, there's some thing just better left .... ......
  17. Fire engines didn't need MOT's and they were never taxed either,not sure these days but that how it used to be..
  18. Come on lads who else's eyes were drawn first to the arse on the redhead ?....
  19. Many many thousands of pounds are being spent in the courts against HS2 but when your up against the government it's not so easy to get heard even in the courts..
  20. I just used to use the small wicker basket type nest pans for the smaller finches like Siskins and Redpolls and the bigger wicker pans for the chaffies.I found they prefered the wicker ones to the plastic ones i used to also put up,in fact thinking about it it was only really the canaries i had for mules that used the plastic ones over the wicker ones but the wicker ones are really a use once then bin..
  21. Haven't been bothered to get outside yet,but it's about half dozen bolts and a clip for the indicator or something like that as i done one side a few months back and only takes an hour or so..Got 2 rangers to get through MOT's this week mate so i'll get on it soon enough,well more tomorrow if i'm honest about it..
  22. Dribble a line of water,wait ten mins then run along said line with a road sweeper lorry....
  23. Not sure if Milner 4x4 do wings but for there good for most ranger stuff and there the same as Madza 2500 bits bar the body work.. As it goes i'm changing a wing on a MK2 the same as yours this weekend and i got mine from a fella off of one of the Facebook Ranger owners pages so there worth a look on and asking for..Tidy enough truck that bud for the money and i was going to ask you how your getting on with it this weekend....
  24. I lived on a party/rave site around Northampton and we'd put on a free party/rave most weekends and a lass who's dad used to do the sooty show used to come along and one week she brought along the original sooty van.That was a funny old sight to see that surrounded by gurning ravers....
