    Regards the tuna... as the lads have said if you've been out enough around the west coastline you'd have seem them loads, they're everywhere! Will be an amazing industry if done well, people travel all over the world for big game fishing.... its a new market for us... I'm thinking of turning the holiday cottages into fishing lodges and offering day charters for tuna on kayaks...that could be interesting! Lol

    when you say "its a new market for us", who are "us"

    The US suppledĀ us with missiles for our Harriers, ground to air missile systems, use of their Atlantic refulingĀ facilities, two million litres of fuel and had a replacement on standby if one of our carriers got sunk.

    They werenā€™t neutral, they stopped all arms sales to Argentina.

    Cheers.

    at the start the U.S. were neutral ,if they had stood behind Britain from the beginning then maybe it would not of kicked off, yet we always seem to back the U.S.A at a click of their fingers

    When the Falklands war started ,there was paper talk about introducing conscription. I would definitelyĀ  have refused to serve.

    To possibly lose your life because some 19 year old Argie conscripts were instructed to erect an Argentinian flag on a God forsakenĀ sheep island God knows where...f**k that.

    The whole shitshow was text book political spin. The Argies were promised their island back by their leader,Ā  aĀ Ā jumped up military dictator.Ā The argies were out in the streets celebrating as though an Argie flag, flying in the wind, on a poxy island, nobody had heard of,Ā really mattered.

    But Thatcher saw her opportunity ,had her photo taken on a Brit tank and sent a task force to be bombed to f**k in broad daylight by exocet missiles. British ladsĀ were horribly burned, maimed and disfigured.Ā 

    What was scary to me was how the British propaganda machine suddenly sprang into life. f****n Daily Mail and The Sun with union jacks on the front page . Suddenly all our troops were heroes and out came the flags,the bunting,Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Brittania. Even Vera Lynn was trotted out.

    So we sailed thousands of miles, quickly overcame a sorry bunch of shivering , bum fluff argieĀ conscripts and the whole of the UK celebrated. Joyous scenes greeted the troopsĀ arrival home complete with wives and sweethearts waving hankies blah blah blah.

    Ā 

    What a complete farce.Ā 

    what other countries backed our corner/supported us??,we done it alonešŸ¤¬,if the U.S. Showed a bit more support then no lives would have been lost,U.S.A wanted to stay neutral šŸ‘Ž

    My son is currently doing GCSE photography. We bought him a Nikon, simply because that's what his school advised as it's the ones they use. I think it's a D3200? Do you know if they're any good? Re the zoom/telephoto lens; which would be best to pair with it for wildlife photography? I think he has two lenses but they're a general purpose oneĀ and a makro as he was into his close-up work when we bought it.

    here are some photos taken with nikon d3200(not mine), if you click on a photo it'll tell you what lens was used, sigma/tamron 150-600mm would be a good starting zoom lens

    It's awful that someone can do as she did , and get so handsomely rewarded for her wrong doings.

    I'm no left winger , that hates the people at the top earning big money , if you earn it , then fair play to you , but in this instance , she deserves to be put in stocks , for people to throw rotten tomatoes at her.

    you're definately a leftie if you think rotten tomatoes are sufficientšŸ˜®
