  1. Victor's an Australian. Maybe we should make allowances?

    Notice

    I'm not nealey, I'm droid For the record, I don't think it's an unreasonable request for dogs to be on a lead where stock is present. Best not to imply a legal perspective to a notice that doesn't exist, though. A polite request might get a more positive response.

    Notice

    BINGO!!!!! I was waiting for a comment like this.
  4. At least the spelling was OK. Pretty poor use of Capitals though.....
  5. Sorry to hear this scent. My thoughts are with you and your partner.
  6. Only 3 chav twats? Pity.....
  7. Thread's gone, sadly. Probably deleted for 'tuning' reasons, which is fair enough. But I'd have left it there as an example of what can happen when you mess with stuff you don't understand.....
  8. I'll do it when I get back from the pub, mate. It'll keep me off ebay.....save money.....minty!
  9. Back in the dim and not too distant past, I vaguely recall a rather hilarious post by someone who tampered with this power-'adjusting' screw. He buggered the gun
  10. If you keep coldwater river fish indoors you'll have lots of problems keeping the water cool enough. If you don't, the fish will asphyxiate. Oxygen levels drop as water temperature rises. Tropicals have adapted to this, temperate zone fish haven't. If you want to keep them properly, you'll need a water cooler for the tank. Stick to tropicals.
  11. I'd be very interested to know if anyone has bred albino to albino and ended up with some coloured kits among the albino kits.

    WAX

    If you mean Nikwax, then any Outdoor shop should stock it.
  13. The intriguing thing is that albinism is usually a recessive characteristic. That means that in an individual that has a dominant gene for colour alongside the albino gene, you will get the colour showing not the albino. So they aren't that common in the wild. Especially so given that they are more visible and likely to be predated, or if a predator, less successful. So they are unlikely to contribute much to the gene pool. Seems to me that albinism in ferrets is now at least partially dominant. Possibly because of selective breeding for albinos over many generations. There's never a
  14. I wouldn't shoot crowns, mate. The Queen will get awfully shirty.
  15. If you go for the Solo, budget for the 10-shot mag, and barrel band. About £50 new for them both.
  16. OK so this particular rifle/scope looks a little odd, rather out of proportion, but so what? If it does what Liam wants it to do why is that a problem? There's no requirement that a rifle needs to look 'right' to be useful. I wonder how many people that like S16's and Stealths like them because they look military, rather than because they are the best rifle for the job?
  17. Don't. Meeting violence with violence rarely works, you'll just end up with a scared ferret that's good to neither man nor beast.
  18. Can't see what he saw in her....

    Latin names

    As a biologist I'm used to latin names for plants and animals. Bit buggered when it comes to fishing tackle though.... http://www.falcontackle.co.uk/details.php?StockCode=BR131
  20. 30 years ago. Hitch-hiking on the A64 at Knavesmire. Saville came past in his Merc, never even acknowlwdged me. b*****d.
  21. Those windproof jackets are shit-hot. Been wearing one on the bike the last couple of months....do the job....
  22. Stayed in Newcastle-upon-Tyne for 5 years, went climbing on Bowden Doors, visited Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh, so those photos brought back some happy memories. Northumberland is an undiscovered gem, mate.
