June 16th ,the magic day. I'll snatch a couple of hours before work . Be hunched with me little black dog under a bridge on the Arun .Freelining big worms down to the chub and roach I've been watching for the last few weeks.Of course on Monday I'll probably find they've mutated into a pack of cute but tiny gudgeon. Or even worse, "anagram fish" (crap) Good luck to anyone else up to the same.Can't beat the swish of a cane rod

Gary Glitter,little did we know! The Alice Cooper Schools Out LP that looked like school desk and opened to reveal a pair of knickers and a bit of chewing gum.......Still got me Thin Lizzy tee shirt from 74 and me well road- rashed motorbike jacket with Bad Company burned into the leather .Just about still get into them as well..I've obviously had worms for the last 35 years!

A slightly obvious observation. If you were really worried about Weils disease would you have handled the dead jay and its feathers.

What a really kind lady...I expect she treats all her trades-people the same .Forget the artificial lubrication .Simply wait until she's "paid " the milkman,window -cleaners etc .. Everyone say"UUURGH".

Yeh and I bet that if she did do a bit of freelance circuit training round someone elses dog you'd be genuinly apologetic Like you I have to be use a bit of fore-sight when I take my older dog out. Since his attack the old s*d can be very quick to warn-off any dog that so much as gives him a funny look.Still you get people saying "Don't worry he's friendly",when their tiny,bum-sniffing, and dangerously bite-sized pooch refuses to leave my dog alone even after the growl that says "That , my littleDougal dishrag was fair warning". It does seem that a lot of old time dog -lore ,the unspoken s

Sadly for every athelete who wants to compete honestly in the sport they love there are hundreds of dodgy characters riding on their backs who will corrupt the ethos of fair play for financial and political gain . This starts at a local level. Example .The Counciller /developer who decided we needed a hotel on a bit of my town's green space .Shortly after this application it was anounced that the swimming -pool next to the proposed developement site had been approved for Olympic training Then there is the Chinese government.A political system genuinly and desperatly seeking acceptance

The lady obviously comes from the modern school of dog training .The pupils of which will spot you and your obedient dog strolling along or doing a few retrieves and allow their dog to belt 100yards towards you,bowl your dog over and take great offence when you steady your own pup in a decent sit and stay and ask them to call their dog back. Usual response is ,"Oh come on let them have a play together". This translates as " My dog won't come back when I call it so I'm going to let it spoil your dogs steadyness too!"". My old collie lurcher was permanently crippled by a pack of just such dog

And do you know something Kay ? To this day nothing I cook for myself tastes quite right unless it is well-done,falling off the bone or covered in a patina of charcoal.Except toast.Maybe that's because all the burnt toast went to the horse .I never had a chance to get a taste for it!

Ginger ,the milkman's horse . He was there from the time I was old enough to notice things . .As a toddler I was allowed to feed him the burnt toast.Even then Mum was making a name for herself with culinary pyrotechnics and Dad reckoned Ginger was the fattest horse in Sussex because of it! Sadly one morning he collapsed of bloat and had to be cut out of the shafts.But this was before he reached our house so Mum was'nt to blame..The milkman had to then pass his driving test so he could do the round. Those Swappets were great too.Little cowboys ,Indians and knights with tiny intechangable wea

.Having a piccy sort-out.Amongst the snaps of the "why the hell did I keep that" out of focus ,badly lit ,my thumb across the lens type there is some atmospheric blackn white ferrret/lurcher show stuff. Mid eighties ?

DS .I found a picture of your old Bull terrier (,brindle, sturdy) the other day .Your legs were in the picture as well .

Had a mate used to swear bullshit was good for getting your end away but whether that was for lubrication or just for chatting girls up I'm not sure.

I'll be going .What do you reckon is best Saturday or Sunday?.Never been to the main show but simply because by sheer chance I actually for the first time in years had an urge to buy the CMW because my local garage started stocking it. Mind you I think it is a repeat of one I read about twelve years ago with the juicy bits taken out I did score a couple of their free tickets though so it was'nt 2 quid wasted.Bring back Steve on Stuffing.

223?usable but probably a bit too much gun and a bit limiting as reguards noise ,backstops and range for regular bunny bashing . . So as people are saying ,a .22 rim -fire with sub-sonics for the rabbits. Bruno bolt would be my choice and it would not cause familiarity problems when you picked -up your bigger tool for deer- shooting.Might as well go for a 243 simply because (as Snap shot said,"keep your options open.")you may well end up having oppertunities to shoot deer other than muntjac or in other parts of the country in the future.

Last year.No one else to blame but meself,didn't shut a cage properly.Had that"worried,panicky, sicky feeling "straight away. Photo-copied notes to the neighbours,rang the usual suspects .Searched ,called,placed cage-traps. Ten days later at dawn little sandy face appears from under my shed.Fat as a piggy(I suspect a diet of hedgehogs ).Don't know if she'd been around all along or just found her way home.I've chickens and so have a neighbour but even they had'nt drawn her out. So ,keep hoping and looking.The best of luck.

Two Newcastle brown bottle tops araldited together to to form a hollow disc.Drill hole one sixteenth of an inch or so through the middle and blow (exhale ) gently.If ,before you glue em together, you trap a loop of string between the caps you can attach a cord which leaves hands free for the rifle.Not original but very cheap.

Yeh, "tackle tarts" ,"graphite groupies". I'm as bad but split -cane does it for me ....

what a wonderfull answer!

just a bit.I mean even if it had been an empty display pack i was going to offer him a quid just as a collectors thing.Even he could'nt remember it there was anything in the box he had'nt handled it for so long.I wonder if Deben will honour the warranty if it goes wrong.

Worked like stink this morning because we'd arranged a sea-fishing trip in the afternoon.Driving to the coast could,nt help notice the trees swaying.Sure enough by the time we'd grouped on the quayside a very ill-wind was blowing.Skipper said it was'nt dangerous but it would be unpleasant and hard to fish.Wind against tide n all that nautical stuff. Fishing cancelled we masochisticly trolled to the nearest tackle shop to stroke the shiny things..."What the Hell is this doing on a ferret site?",you may ask. While the others fondled the silky contours of the rods in what to me appeare

Worth asking the Green Keeper of your local golf course. Mine came from a pile of broken fibre-glass flag poles in a skip .Along with a battery from a crashed Golf buggy.

Far as I know 410 adapters are not that rare.Chap who used to come on fox shoots had one .The walking Guns were allowed to shoot rabbits while obviously the Standers stayed quiet for a fox.Often X would cry, "Hold the line".He'd spotted another squatter in the brambles ,range 10 feet.This was because he'd forgotten to put his 410 converter into one of his 12 bore barrels before the drive.Cue hurried unloading ,rumaging in pocket for adapter and reloading .Rabbit rewarded for its patience ...If I remember it sounded like a .410 going off I 've heard 28 bore adapters are available but they ar
