    Smoothies, but according to my 2yr old Grandson these are "cocadiles."

    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

    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.

    I'd be tempted to put them through letter boxes along with one of my business cards

    If they do stop ,throw yourself flat on the ground .If they are in a herd fallow will often turn to face you&come back for a look .Bit like dressing in wolf-skin to get in bow range.It's how I got this pic(without the wolf -skin or bow). I crawled away and they just watched me go and set about grazing again.

    50 / 60 holes would be a small bury on some of our chalky ground and like your' burrows might be nice and open but tend to be deep. Wait for winter like everyone says .Less chance of young bunnies to cause lay-ups ,less chance of non-bolting territorial does and less chance of hormonal ferrets. Start early in the day to allow plenty of time for working the burrow through and to allow for any waiting time or lay-ups.If the digging is really bad you may well have to settle -in for a long wait .I'd make sure my freds were well-fed too.Some might say that would take the edge off their huntin

    Yes ,agree with just about everyone ,probably is a Baikal.Has it got what appears to be a brown bakalite butt -piece? There were a few Baikal hammer-guns turning up "as new "certainly up until 15 years ago because a mate bought one .Guess what ? Only one barrel worked properly.Rest of the gun -incredibly over-engineered and sturdy .

    Think it was Nellie the Woolly- Mammoth .Might've been something by Nick Cave or the Sacred Rolling Stones.I know everyone hated T Rex -so yesterday.Cliff Bl**dy Richard was about though.Ah, Sabre-Toothed Tygers of Pang Tang. "What's that nurse?" ."I've got a visitor".Best take these underpants off my head and behave before they sedate me ,take me to the day room and make me watch Randolph Scott westerns with the sound turned down.

    A good mate can't get Broadband where he lives and his children do all their homework using either his books or those from the library.They consistantly recieve better marks and higher praise for the originality of their work than their class-mates and come open day its his childrens' work on the class-room walls.

    Don't know if you candled to check developement of the chicks ,assuming they were fertile,24 days for pheasants is right .As long as you have the humidity&heat right I should resist the urge to fiddle .The humidity is important as it helps the chick break out of the membrane by keeping it supple.Don't let the heat & humidity out until you are happy nothing else is going to hatch which might occur over a period of several hours .Patience and good luck.

    Mole poo.Sorry,could'nt resist it.The novelty of the new camera still has'nt worn off.
  18. comanche
    You 're right ,but ,er. Well you know my sad predeliction for the macabre . The advertising made me buy them. Unbiased curiosity made me try them.Honesty makes me condemn them. Sinclair C5 of traps really.

    Apart from the fact that the Nooski trap is not approved -hence illegal -for use against squirrels it is totally unsuitable . The thing is of dubious value against rats let alone anything bigger,tougher and stronger. Cheers

    The rings degrade quite quickly -would'nt want to use em twice or mess about with a dead rat anyway. . I suspect that the rodent stars of the Promotional video on the web were probably accustomed to going into the unset trap for food .Might explain why they seem so keen to dash to their deaths .Did't expect some b*st*rd with a video camera to set the trigger to kill....I gave it a fair trial but as far as I'm concerned the Nooski is a novelty for the collection rather than a serious or humane tool. Only my experience though .Others might have done better.
  21. comanche
    Yes .Strangely I was thinking about a post myself asking for other folks' experience with The Nooski. Just as I really wanted Eradirat to prove to be breakthrough(Ok, I suspect it's possibly based on a 1920's idea) I really wanted the Nooski to at least prove itself a usefull bit of kit if only in limited circumstances..How in Heaven the thing was passed as a Spring Trap I don't know .Surely " Spring Activated Self-Locking Snare", would be a more accurate description?. I tested them on a smallholding owned by regular customers who don't seem to mind me trying new or different techniqu

    As for being an "Authorised person".Assuming it's your property or rented to make it effectivly your exclusive property the person who can authorise you to shoot on it (ie give you permission) is the head of your house-hold ( you if it is your home or maybe a parent or such-like if you are a youngster.) . Remember the chap a few years ago who caught London pigeons off the streets for the restaurent trade?Claimed they were vermin and that he could'nt be touched for it.His argument fell flat because he was was'nt "authorised "to do so by the relevent London council department who were resp

    what done this ?

    Graffam used to be a trout fishery I believe-might explain the unpopularity of the pike.Don't know if it still contains trout but that little bream(what is it a foot or so long?) looks like its had its head chopped -off with a fairly blunt knife .Poachers ,kids being spitefull or maybe changing their minds about having a BBQ .From the picture it does'nt look as if its been chewed.

    I wonder how they "service" the collar .Apart being able to clean the terminal or replace a lost cap the things are sealed in resin?

    A mate had a 10 shot mag for his BRNO but it did occasionally jam when it got near the bottom so he went back to the five shot.I think the fact that a few people don't rate the .22 rf very seriously is because they've had bad experiences with semi-auto versions.
