I personally expect nothing of the sort. This is a return to the 'boom and bust' cycle of the 60's and 70's.

Seeing someone dressed in full Realtree gear in public is more likely to elicit amusement than owt else in my opinion. Like the goon I saw at Wells market the other week. Not a hunter as such, just a posy get..... I can't get away from the feeling that the real reason a lot of people wear camo in public is to look like real soldiers. In most cases it don't work....

Agreed. Utterly vile.

Had both root canal surgery and a shattered tooth extracted, different teeth, different dentists. I'm no hero when it comes to pain but neither was overly unpleasant. Both are pretty routine operations. Don't be mithered

Used to be wallabys living near the Roaches in Staffordshire. They were a release from a local collection, I believe. Heard they'd died out a few years back.

The bit where it nearly went arse over tit on the ice was pretty good too.....

You'll know when it's knitted back. Seemed to happen overnight with me, after about 3-4 weeks. Not rugby, but falling off the bike....back riding in 4 weeks

It's an Admin job then. Mods only have certain powers, usually post/thread 'deletion'* and warning levels. They can't usually determine access to threads. *the posts/threads aren't deleted, as I think stubby might already have explained. They're just made invisible.

Agreed. On 'another forum' there's currently at least 4 threads on biting kits, despite the subject being in the FAQs section.

Shamelessly nicked from another forum...... Bin Laden and Pres. George W. Bush agree to meet up in Afghanistan for the first round of talks in a new peace process. When George sits down, he notices three buttons on the arm of Bin Laden's chair. They begin talking. After about five minutes Bin Laden presses the first button. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches Bush in the face. Annoyed, Bush carries on talking as Bin Laden laughs. A few minutes later the second button is pressed. This time a big boot comes out and kicks Bush in the shin. A

Agreed mate but you must remember that animals see different wavlengths of light compared to us humans, so breaking up your outline is crusial to stalking your quarry. And wavelength of light is irrelevent to choice of camo. Animals that 'see' IR are going to 'see' you irrespective of your camo patten. I think you'll find it's UV ultra violet not IR infra red that animals see I think you'll find that insects (eg bees) tend to see IV, and snakes (like rattlers) see IR. I still don't see the relevence of wavelength to breaking up one's outline.

Excellent and thoughtful tribute mate. Thoughts are with you and your family.

If you read the piece carefully, you don't need direct contact with the animal, just it's urine. It was a worry caving in the Mendips a few years back, as you occasionally get rats in cave entrances. Most Mendip cavers wear gloves.

If Realtree was a good as it's price suggests, surely the Army would use it? Because if camo don't work too well in hunting it merely reduces the bag, if it don't work for the Army some poor bugger gets killed.

Salt will eat it. Coat everything not braking related with WD40. Hose the brake calipers down every ride when the roads are salted or you WILL get sticking calipers which WILL warp your discs.

It was like a 3-legged stool on the end of a broom handle, and used in a 'dolly tub'. My mum had one whwn I was a kid....

Good on yer Mal. Mind, a talking ferret might be a bit of an earner on telly

Cows farts cause global warming not acid rain A hypothesis is a testable idea. When it's tested, by repeatable experiment it may become a Theory. Science may be funded by the government (though plenty is funded by commerce) but the decision as to where the funding goes is made by independent peer groups. So your 'facts' are rather debateable.

and where is the fun in putting poison down?!?!?!?! some people will never learn If I'd got a rat problem, I'd want the buggers eradicated promptly, not picked at by some prat with a gun.
