    The lions are just farmed stock max,the same as pheasant or French partridge,they were never destined to live on some utopian herbivore filled Savannah,their life and death was mapped out in advance,they are a cash-crop,morals doesn't enter into it if your a hard-bitten Afrikaans farmer breeding stock for the hunting market,I get where your coming from though,flip side to the coin.

    We won't see it in our lifetime max,urban legend like van damme,s Hard Target or Hostel.

    Klondyke Trappers is on TV at the minute,one of the guys is trying to snare a Lynx as the pelts can fetch up to a $1000 dollars so he said.

    I don't know how accurate it is but there was rumours of a 240 pound wolf shot in Alberta a few years back,there are pics online of it,Alberta had a bounty on them because of farm stock predation,releasing wolves back into the wild on a tiny overcrowded island is impractical and unrealistic,a ticking ecological time bomb waiting for an accident to happen.

    Very impressive,how did you conceptualise the idea?

    Grayling arent bad,but not as good as chalk stream brownies. You only eat stocked chalk stream Brownies .I am in Canada at the minute mate,had fresh salmon for dinner.

    Its a bad day for old grannies and red cape wearing teenage girls when wolves are reintroduced.

    Katie macs chippie in pennywell yesterday,they sell frogs legs,fried mars bars,and fried kit-kats,i did the rounds of a few chippies yesterday in sunderland and newcastle,all seemed to have a steady trade.

    Cereal-killers.I am in kingston upon thames at the minute,i just passed a breakfast cereal cafe near the station,newly opened,got coco-pops boxes in the window,i they are yuppie pop-up fads without longevity to be honest.

    That's the trouble with the Turkish owned cafe's round this way, good service and very clean but the food is really low end. I don't use them now unless I am really desperate, trouble is I don't know of any English owned ones now. I guess a lot of people will eat shit as long as there is a large pile of chips on top. Jacks is english owned mate,and theres one on staines road thats got an english owner.Theres silly money in the food game socks,my sis was in it,her sis-in-law has a restaurant in weybridge high street that she has just done up,bought next doors property to extend and that wasn

    Good show so far,Ben Fogle gives it a bit more public appeal,Matt Hayes is a much better angling presenter than robson green though isnt a patch on jeremy wade or matt watson,any show thats broadcast primetime and shows angling in a good light isnt a bad thing.

    Anyone own,or have ever owned a chippie or cafe,seen a few for sale fairly cheap leaseholds,just wondering what the profit is like in them as the books seem like creative accounting,mostly its indian subcontinent guys running them so there must be profit but the ones i have seen seem a little too good to be true so why are they for sale,just wonder if any of you gents have practical first hand experience of running or owning a fast-food establishment?

    yes mate,I have been in a cabelas and a bass pro in the states,i was googling archery supplies in canada when i saw cabelas had opened a store in canada which they have been promising for quite a while,then i saw it was right on your doorstep.We are flying to ottawa next week,going to quebec after that to see family,just having a kick around for a couple of weeks but calgary is only £270 return from where i am staying so i am umming and ahhing.
  17. mackem
    Hope your settling in tilly,Cabelas opened their canadian store in calgary last week?I am in quebec next week,if i have time i am going to look at flights as Cabela-canada store looks incredible.

    Good job the tusker wasnt anthropormorphised with a name like Ellie the elephant,then the guy who shot it really would be up shit creek without a paddle,even though his hunt was entirely legitimate.

    Excellent read.

    Cold-reading,and as treecreeper pointed out not so dfficult nowadays with facebook and social media,half an hour with someones name and you could build up a very accurate picture,a little psychobabble and you could have them hanging on your every word,people want to believe and are susceptible,lets face it most customers going to a medium arent sceptics but believers.

    I was stung in the shard 2 weeks ago £35 for a breakfast,London isnt a cheap place to have a nice meal,and to cap it all cookes pie and mash in shepherds bush has closed down.

    Corbyn was shagging her back in the 1970's apparently,she doesnt like whites at all judging by some of her close to the bone comments over the years,so corbyn being her friend with benefits surprised me.

    Some lad a few weeks ago got 2 fish with 2 casts,I think the smallest was around 14LB,from a stream near here that feeds into the thames,the stream is filled with inner-city junk,he was in anglers mail. I wouldnt mind having a go at decent sized shark from the shore like the texans do.
