    Is there any dog

    comanche replied to a topic in General Talk

    No f*cking way! Sparticus would adopt the 'Cammo Man' position, with his little sword in his hand, and snarl. Then Bodie would fetch something out from under his left armpit and blow Sparty away. End of. Ah but Bodie would have to have a speed loader coz he would'nt know if he'd got the right bloke .Faced as he 'd be by hundreds of greased -up muscle-boys dressed as though for a South Coast fetish conference,each waving his Gladius and wailing ,"I'm Sparticus!" I heard that a dog was the best possible bait for a leopard.

    Don't laugh cos it's true but I've fixed a broken budgie beak by gluing a lady's (I would'nt waste one of mine) false fingernail onto the broken stump and trimming it to shape.Lasted until the beak re-grew.

    Give it a few weeks .There are still a lot of kits in the nest or yet to be born. Going back 20-25 years we used to buy and sell ferrets ,pet rabbits and poultry at our local (now built on ) market.Most of the folk buying and selling were no different from the sorts that buy privatly except fot the odd "dealer" or pet shop owner.One guy regually bought as many decent looking freds as he could which was great if you were selling but tended to push the prices up if you wanted to buy cheap..This chap had a deal with a vet . They tamed and immunised the kits and sent them to America for the pe

    I was in this spot a couple of months ago when my old manual Pentax k1000SLR died. Digital SLRs are lighter but just as bulky and probably not as sturdy as the old SLRfilm cameras . Then there is the expense of extra lenses and big bags if you start becoming serious.The Photograghy side of things could overshadow the original idea of simply having a handy little camera in the top pocket .They take wonderfull pictures though !. Dad has a Canon from the top end of the "pocket digital "selection .His work meant he had almost daily experience of the printing and photograghy and he is a real per

    Lord it's Lazarus .Seem this post has been revived .Pheasant Season 's been over for ages.Let's face it killing pheasants illegally is a pretty skilless and often lazy pastime (hard bit is doing it without anyone knowing)..... Do seem to me that the lad has an airgun and (one assumes )permission ..all that's missing is something he'll not get from reading a computer screen . Good old Fieldcraft!

    Great idea ,forum for youngsters. No swearing ,nothing risque hopefuly.This means my Grand-daughter will be able to have a go.She's probably better than me on the computer if I'm honest and she's excited at the moment because "her " (actually her Mums ) ferret became a Dad a week ago.Stand by for child and baby fred pics in a few weeks ! Nice one

    A girl by Lord in a flatbed Ford ,slowin down......Always found Deep Purple deeply irritating till I actually listened to the lyrics.Strange kind of Woman ,the guy falls in love with a prostitute but she only gives him afreebee when she's on her deathbed. Yeh 70's stuff was alive with passion,feeling,musical talent.Check-out Grandad by Clive Dunn It's forever,er man. :whistling:Ditch ,Horslips?

    tool! Old mate of mine, who just so happened to be tangled up in the aquisition of my Greener, had in his posession - Post Ban (uk Amnesty!) a rifle, of indeterminate calibre. That's to say, I don't remember what the f*ck it was. But he reckoned this thing dated from about the time of " Sharpes Rifles " and it bore .....? Yeppers! A Martini action by none other than W.W. bloody Greener! Yes! Yep I know where one hangs on a wall."Oh look you have a Greener Gp ",says I smugly(also thinking meself clever because the owners surname is actually Greener) "No .It's a Henry rifle".I

    NEW TATTOO

    comanche replied to Garypco's topic in General Talk

    Really good tattoo.Let us all know when you hold the next potlatch ! Know a chap from way back ,bit younger than me .IntoPunk rock. Picture this ; real Pawnee type crest of hair ,shaved sides with a zip tattooed right round his skull. The guy was 17 ,anti-social and proud of it. Ok he goes "straight",marries ,successfully spawns,grows his hair over the zip tattoo ,gets a job etc. Fine , now he is a middle -aged Grandad and bald! Looks like the top of his head's sewn on.

    Can't believe the number of chaps involved in the rent -boy /porn industry on here. Respect . I remember my first night on the job. Came home with a sore bum,matted hair and £244.50p . "Who gave you the fifty pence ?" asked my girlfriend . Struggling to sit down ,I managed to open my sticky lips wide enough to mutter ,"They all did!". I stuck with it for a while but most of my clients wanted their money back.....

    ..Look at his colour..If I was a hen pheasant ,well, "I would".

    Had one last year built around the frame,mudguard and back-wheel of a bicycle taking -in the spokes and chain .Of course the chances of coming across one like it this coming season are nil because I have a new camera !
  13. comanche
    Yep ,it is a "Nye".If I had my vintage OED to hand I could tell you its linguistic origins an all that but it's at home.Think it refers to a family group ,ie Hen and her brood .

    Was this just before he looked down and announced "Oh look my willie seems to be a bit dirty perhaps you would help me clean it".
  15. comanche
    Great .You can almost read what he's thinking,"Right act cool .I'll slip off this way. Bugger the bloke with the camera is still there,,Sh*t ,he's got dogs as well .Try the other way .Damn ,a river .Don't panic.To hell with playing it cool .I'm off!" Great pics.

    Good question, mate. Blowed if I know. But, if ye consider how Common Toads are noted for living a hell of a long time ..... Metabolic rate of an ice cube, I s'pose they just don't wear themselves out so quickly? Tried Google for 'Newt Longevity'? Well prompted DS.I've yet to realise the wonder of the Internet.I'd 've cycled down the library after work :icon_redface .Alpine can live 20 years,G Crested up to 25 in captivity - looking at 10-15 years plus for most smaller species.

    Hello UK shooter.Camera is my new(ish) toy. Pentax Optio S10 just a little portable digital . Hello DS . When I started seeing the Alpine newts, to be honest, in my ignorance I first thought the male and female were different species they are so unalike. I'd like to try and get some pictures of the edibles when they become active but they are pretty quick off the mark and really good at blending -in with the water lilies .My little camera might be under- lensed for the task but I'll give it a go. Out of interest ,how long do newts live ? years ago I took a garden pond from a skip a

    Smoothies, but according to my 2yr old Grandson these are "cocadiles."
  19. comanche
    Alpine male and female I think These are naturalised locally along with edible frogs..They were in three big ponds and at least one garden pond I know of but thanks to twats introducing" anagram fish"(Crap)they have been wiped-out in two of the bigger ponds .

    Customer gave me a box of books today. Strangly one titled "How to offend people in their own languages", caught my eye.I now know enough foreign sentences to ensure I get my head kicked- in almost anywhere in the World. Apparently the word "Pajero" in Spanish means ," one who ,er, plays with onself".To think I used to feel a bit of a gimp when I told folk I drove a Rascal. Any other vehicle names that suffer in translation?.

    Weather

    comanche replied to a topic in General Talk

    I refuse to take part in this base attempt to perpetuate racial stereotyping.Finding this post ,clearly contrived to bolster the myth of Britain's fictitious obsession with the weather, has been the third thing to really p*ss me off today.The first was when I woke up to realise that there had'nt been a shower of overnight rain to boost my grass-seed and the second disappointment came when a friend phoned to inform me that we might have to call a sea-fishing trip off because although it is nice and warm there is a risk of an uncomfortable breeze.

    Those who've gone before have given good advice .Pignuts' "don't be afraid of being firm " to gain the dogs' attention is very good advice.I'd add ,don't ever be too embarrised to tell your dog off in public or it will learn to take the micky when there are people around . Another tip is to walk the pup alongside a wall in such a way as it can't squeeze in front of you. You admit that you hav'nt the strength to physically control the pup and you can bet your life the dog realises this. I know she is considered a bit un-PC but some of old Barbara Woodhouse's stuff is worth a read for this sor

    A lot of people are paid with our tax money to perpetuate this sort of thing .Specialist Lawyers and a whole Gravy Train of support groups are effectivly guilty of aiding International terrorism at all levels. People who would be naturally horrified at having their own children riddled by shrapnel cannot or choose not to see the hypocrisy of hiding behind bogus shields of "Human Rights and Political Correctness" .They see nothing wrong with lining their own pockets whilst at the same time endangering decent people of all cultures and races.

    Hargreaves ,Drabble,DBP,Ted W, Dick Walker and now Fred Taylor .All clever enough to juggle careers with their love of fieldsports and fishing and find time to convert their experiences into film and print to be shared with others.All people who've held me spellbound at various times almost and all gone.Peter Stone -another loss- relates some classic and a not a little risque tales of night- fishing with Fred Taylor. Let's hopeTed Walsh was right in his theory of the existance of Ellysian hunting Fields in the after -life. It must be quite a place.

    Brill pic. Bit of a Milman on the computer but its so good it spurred me to vote for it(I hope I did vote and not join some deviant on-line fetish club by accident).Good luck with it.
