    Apparently the BNP are to severly restrict the sort of sporting events their members are allowed to attend . Formula 1 is Ok .As is the Grand National and the Derby. All other races are considered inferior .....

    I am (a bit) sorry.Someone must have some good pest control jokes or at least some really ,really bad ones worth telling ?

    Spun is probably the best but there have been plenty of foul wet days when they have soaked up water like a sponge and become heavy and next to useless . At times like these I always wish I'd brought a few of my ancient el-cheepo ,flimsy, nylon things out with me . Some of the heavy-gauge nylon nets available today handle reasonably well and are very good value . If I were a beginer on a tight budget they would be my choice until I learned to make my own .

    didnt know i could use mk3 collar with mk1 box Yep mk3 collar can be picked up up to about 10 feet with a Mk1 locator box . Some folk -including me- actually prefer that combination .

    You don't say if it is a Side by side but if it is and it is a basic model it will probably be a Yeoman(they also made a later over&under by the same name) -a good sturdy gun . Next up is the number 3 which is a little more finely finished but i think is still a non-ejector. The number 4 is a really neat gun. Sturdy , balenced and an ejector . And well sought after . Could the person you aquired the gun from not help or was there no clue from the details of it on his certificate? .

    Seems to me this question is not one of brains versus balls but the age old chesnut of the difference between a simple "running dog" and a lurcher . A dog that will course through the fires of Hell to get to its prey is fine if you have the need or preference for that type of dog and the country to safely work it over . A lurcher though is a different animal .It hunts as much by brain as speed . In short it has to be able to multi-task and respond to its owner in a way that a coursing dog might not be required to do. A lurcher does'nt rely on its own mouth to put game in the b

    Everything already said . Last resort is to get a long lead or rope and pass it behind a post or tree and then back to your hand.The dog sits between you and the tree.If he breaks the stay he can be stopped by firmly holding the rope and re-positioned.Start off only a few feet away don't go for a 30 yard wander about and expect a pup that just wants so much to be with you to just sit there and watch you desert it. This is best only as a last resort but has worked with a couple of rescue dogs that were pretty desperate cases . It only took a few goes to get the dogs attention and once they

    hi. pictures i posted a couple of weeks ago were coming up distorted and required clicking on to get a perfect image which puzzled me but that seems to have stopped.a post i put up on monday had 3 pictures.they came up fine but a day or two later one had been replaced by a white box with a red cross in the corner while the other two were normal.i'm acomputer beginer so these things tend to go over my head so i'm not sure if this is the sort of thing you are asking about . please excuse lack of capitals -new puppy on lap .typing with one hand. all the best, kev

    Well you get black labs and who knows the ancestry of the lurcher .

    Girl walks into her church shoutin,"Where's that b*****d Father Reagan ?". The organist hears her and says ,"Now don't be calling the Father a b*****d . What's up girl?" "Well he took advantage of me ". "Ooh ,"says the organist",Now just what did he do?. Did he stroke your chest ...Like this?." "Yes ,just like you're doing . Then he put his hand here",says the girl guiding the organists 's hand to her private parts . Well pretty soon they are hard at it on one of the pews. When they've finished the organist turns to the girl and says", I can't understand why you were so angry wth

    Our last few ferreting trips had produced plenty of rabbits but were very much of the nature of serious pest-control. They had involved plenty of net-hopping along a thorny 200 yard ridge honey-combed by thousands of burrows . Today as a bit of light relief we decided to tackle some open grassland buries. Not that these open Downland workings are always easy by any means .I suppose because of the exposed nature of the habitat the rabbits are very alert to the approach of danger and can be a little shy of bolting .Some of these little burrows are worryingly deep whilst others are sha

    Big white bags filled with cheesy pus-cysts.Watery bags filled with tape worm eggs, and other odd growths that might be triggered by disease,a wound or a foreign object turn -up quite often .We all get spots ,parasites,growths and cancers why should rabbits be different ?. The reabsorbed feotii are just that -reabsorbed -gone-you won't find them . Occasionally though you might find a mummyfied feotus-a hard ,lumpy little baby bunny a bit like a large kidney bean . I believe the same can happen in most animals but pigs are prone to it.

    They relied on a very flickery Led display and some funny noises to gauge the depth . As far as functionability went they were worse than some of the early attempts to build locators in the sixties and early seventies . Deben had to return to MK1 technology and reinstate the sensitivity knob to create the Mk3 before too many folk started complaining .

    At least I'm not alone .Thanks for the help especially the Malware suggestions . Now I just need my 6 year old granddaughter to help set it up

    Mk 2 and Mk3 locator boxes do not pick-up the Mk1 collar . The Mk1 box will pick up both Mk2 and Mk3 collars though up to 10 or 11 feet

    Cheap fix until you get hold of a sticker . Just get a tape measure and measure off the distance from the collar to locator box . Work your way nearer putting a tiny dot of paint or tippex on the dial to mark every every foot until you are just a foot away . Re-check then replace the paint marks using something like a hot nail to melt a mark on the dial. . These marks never wear off and you probably won't even bother getting a new sticker .

    Sorry to bump this and I promise not to do it again but I really am perplexed .If anyone has any advice I'd be really gratefull .

    last i heard he had to be very wary of setting mink traps because of all the pineys . I sent him a pic of one(mink) i'd caught in a magnum and apparently it made his day. The only man i've ever met who bred maggots in a black bin-liner containing a skinned badger on his window ledge .... Just don't ask the rest of the story ...

    Messages credited with coming from my E-mail account are being sent out to people on my contact list but I'm not sending them . Hope that makes sense . They seem to be advertising material for mobile phones . It'ds as if my e-mail has been highjacked . Has anyone else had this problem and is it curable . Any advice please would be most appreciated as I am a bit of a technophobe at the best of times . thanks in advance .

    I was talking to an army officer on leave from Afghanistan this weekend on this very subject and surprisingly he thought it was'nt a bad idea . Too much is made of the "corruption",nepotism and back-handers endemic in countries like Afghanistan . To the West (who of course are squeaky clean )it is corruption ,to the Middle East it is a way of life ,a way of sharing good fortune with friends and family and buying allegiance . Money talks in Afghanistan and most of the Taliban fighters are young men without much in the way of jobs or money who are easily recruited to a cause by
