  2. Got a resident one in the garden but it isnt fast enough to describe as a catch
  3. I have shopped in a Cabelas,they are a wet-dream for fishermen and archery enthusiasts,the taxidermy displays are mind-boggling wasnt there talk of a Cabelas-UK?
  4. Peahen once another time a flamingo,one of those big pink gangly things
  5. Its decent of some members to help you out windy Good man
  6. Fox is no longer legal running-dog quarry,and you didnt mention fox,you stated rabbit,rabbits dont work out an individual dogs style,they work out that light at night equals get-the-f*ck-outta-here,the reason that the people who travel get the booty is just that,they travel,some areas get hammered nightly winter and summer alike,some dont,thats the crux of it.
  7. Rabbits dont really have the capacity to suss out a dogs running-style,with dogs its just hard and fast,thats a running dogs style,rabbits educate to the beam in heavily lamped areas,first flicker acriss a field and they high-tail it for cover.
  8. Heres a DIY guide http://www.polytunnelgardening.co.uk/polytunnel-construction-guides/ Alternatively mail this guy and explain what your after gutter@npstructures.co.uk
  9. Kids are a hard juggling act,one of my kids swims like a seal,incredibly powerful in the water so I never had to encourage him in a race I would rather concentrate on their academic achievements,that might be where I nag at them a bit much

    I blame their manager,creepy little f*cker,i think he is grooming the talentless duo for performances in the privacy of his boudoir(I know he isnt female but he is as camp as that guy from pineapple dance studios)
  11. zesta punta known in the Philippines as jai alai incredibly fast
  12. I know a guy who was arrested by two cops,basically they tried to fit him up but he wasnt as stupid as they were anyway,he said their faces when his dictaphone(which he had switched on during the arrest )was played in court was a picture,they hadnt known about his recording beforehand They are now ex-policemen Make a complaint against him,at least then its on record
  13. Always having asked prior permission of course mate
  14. No one ever forgets that,the lesson I learnt then was everything is a commodity when people are desperate,even individual sheets of toilet paper,I was always entrepreneurial I have loads of pics from the caravan days,I will sort some out when I have time,I just wish I had taken pics when the coppers raided us
  15. Crap pics chris,but better than nowt,you can see Shep and Red with some bunnies,the other pic shows Shep after a visit to the vets for stitches,I think he had hit a fence while attached to something larger than himself.Sorry for the quality of the pics
  16. Brek was killed in 1991 Chris,both were bred by Hayes from gateshead if memory serves Shep was a more powerful dog maybe an inch taller than his brother?
  17. I was there the night when Brek was killed in east-london running a fox,I was also there the night shep almost died smashing his head open in yorkshire,I chatted with Tone recently about shep,I have some pics somewhere but they are quite graphic,black & White of shep on fox,I remember watching him racking up a credible tally of rabbit in caithness despite his size.
  18. Reminds me of the computation Plummer once did in a shooting news article showing how many rabbits would need to be caught to pay off a profit hunters average sized mortgage,I think in the same article he mentioned the large numbers caught by an itinerant scottish forestry worker called Lakin or larkin

    on tv now

    Never saw the program,glad I didnt to be honest,the one thing,probably the best thing we can pass onto our kids is education,if my kids couldnt read and write I would feel I had failed them,times are changing,chinese and indian kids are cram-schooling,their grasp of math,english and science is frightening,the employment market of the future is going to be incredibly competitive.I remember wanting to go to uni when I was 16,my old man said dont be stupid,get a job One of my kids wants to be a vet,one vacillates between being a doctor or a saturation-diver I would gladly spend the rest of my
  21. Anything with a high % of Deet.
  22. Beautiful pics,saw a red kite this morning in Chertsey high street,my mate thought it was a buzzard till it came closer.
  23. Biggest I ever had was 28Lb,I got around 120 fish that weekend,a 70+ deserves respect,just to see it swim off would be reward enough,incredible fish.
  24. Thats a fish,wouldnt mind seeing a photo when they are available.
