  3. Old pic,we used to average around a thousand a week plus sundry game,sometimes more sometimes less.
  4. The title is wrong,they dont put EASTER eggs on the box for fear of causing offence,nowadays they are just called chocolate eggs,political correctness gone wrong once again.
  5. Surprisedmhe got off so lightly to be honest.
  6. I thought of this thread and the speed of that bolt when i read this link,the kid didnt have a chance. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/03/22/w-va-teenager-dies-after-being-accidentally-shot-in-the-head-with-a-bow-and-arrow/
  7. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1fC6Pxw1eLU Sadly the above youtube clip is reality todaythe guy dressed in arab garb making people paranoid,its never ending,and its an old cliche but its going to get worse before it gets better.Time to stop pussyfooting and pandering to the whims of the limp wristed,we need a hard line approach,something thats going to halt what is surely coming our way,taking conteol of the borders will be a small step in the right direction,RIP to those who passed away today.
  8. A sporting chance,author is dan mannix,i hadmit almost permanantly stamped out in my local library,read the print off it.
  9. "Death in the long grass" "My side of the mountain" "A sporting chance" "Brendon chase" "The man eating leopard of rudraprayag"
  10. Used to know a really nice guy called jeff in Hong Kong,originally from lancashire or thereabouts,he was fishing on a beach in Oz,snagged something,put loads of compression on his rod to pull his end tackle out of the unseen snag,he now has one eye.
  11. The character in the book billy casper was based on Hines brother who kept a bird,i know many a kid kept a kestrel after watching the movie,good book.
  12. Looks likemyour loaded for bear,cant imagine much getting away from that squad.
  13. Knocks spots off the old barnett wildcats of youth,have a look at tenpoints range,i just got petersens 2016 archery equipment mag and theres several pages of new crossbows,some of them are reverse limb compound crossbows,they look like something from the predator movie.I have seen him sussex,instinct shooting,he is accurate as a lazer.
  14. His trajectory will have been like a rainbow,i would rather have seen a three shot group,he didnt mention the weight of the bolt.Theres a couple of guys on youtube doing similar with compound bows,now THATS real skill,fairly tight groups as well.

    Foxy Lady

    I had a fox cub try to nip my boot when i put my foot out after calling it in on a park in west london,town fox arent timid.
  16. Simon Danczuk,rochdale mp has just been told to repay 11k he claimed for 2 adult children who werent even living with him,he has apologised saying he "Indavertently breached rules that reflect the realities of modern day living"???What the f**k is that supposed to mean?Psychobable spin politico crap.
  17. My cousin still lives just west of thurso,fantastic area caithness and sutherland.
  18. I was in cobham a few years ago fishing on the mole,two well-heeled very well dressed ladies were loitering in a hedgerow,everyone in cobham is f***ing loaded especially at the stoke D'Abernon end so once they had vacated the hedge i moseyed over to see what they had been up to,there was a 35mm film container wrapped in clear plastic in a small brick enclave,inside the film container was a load of slips of paper containing peoples names and messages,a geo-cache.
  19. Whether he gets in or not at least its giving a shake up and wake up call to mainstream politics,hilary isnt going to be a better president because she was bills wife,those political dynasty scenarios dont mean she is perfect for the job,Trumpey will be like everyone else however,once ensconced in the white house he will be the public face doing whatever the guys behind the scenes,the real movers and shakers,tell him to do.
  20. I remember maybe 15-20 years back when Wels fishing packages were first advertised,the ebro was an unknown back then,the oackage was to kazakhstan to fish for truly wild huge cats.
  21. First place I ever fished was Canbury Gardens in Kingston by the outflow from the power station. I don't think was anything but snotties and bleak there in those days. Some very nice fish in kingston,the thames is a great river,theres just been a guy in shepperton caught a 7 lb 10oz chub in his local stretch,i live a short walk from the banks and am always throwing micro-lures in as the water is thick with pike and perch,theres a fishing guide takes clients out onto the kingston/hampton stretches for predatory fish.
  22. I love working alone,if something fucks up i always know who to blame,worked with a small handfull of really good lads in the past but they are a rarity.
  23. But drones are fighting back. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MBBC-xL_MTg
