  1. I did not read the thread from the start, when I did see it quite a few posts had been made, including the ones from Tonya. As I read the post it just did not add up, but I left it at that, as he still had his sick money coming in so was not in real dire straights. I did not visit the thread for a while and when I did I had already had a pm saying something was wrong. When I looked back at the thread and just read Tonya's posts to me it was obvious that something was amiss. So for the reason that he still had money coming in, I donated a big fat 0. But yes Paulus I am a tight fecker. T
  2. I would agree with that completely, if the reason for the initial decline of the hares could be assessed and addressed. Other wise they will only die out again. Edited to add: The decline of the Lapwing has been attributed to a decline of hares in the same areas, and also a rise in liver fluke in sheep. As hares are susceptible to liver fluke and lapwing feed on the fluke it does not take deal of working out that the ecology of our countryside is changing. The symbiosis that has for a long time kept a balance in our wild life is breaking down. TC
  3. Every year this old chestnut about hare shoots come up. Funnily enough the numbers never seem to decline. You cannot shoot what's not there and to do it every year, says to me the system is working. Heavily keepered ground where the hares get protection as a bye product of the keepering for game birds. What would happen if they did not shoot them? Too many hares for the ground to support and the eventual onslaught of disease and decline. Just my opinion of course. TC
  4. Please pardon my ignorance, what are the advantages of a prime lens over a telephoto? TC Prime lenses have better quality glass, tend to be a lot sharper, a lot faster focusing and of a lower F number allowing more light into camera enabling faster shutter speeds in lower light... Zoom lenses adjust the F number throughout the zoom, so you could be at f5.6 at 150mm and then step down to f6.3 at 300mm which means that you'll often have to change ISO/shutter speed... The zoom lens is a "jack of all trades" but the prime is the "master"... The only zoom I would consider for wildli
  5. The top is married to the shank. The top of the stick is without a doubt blackthorn root. TC
  6. Les. You and I know what it costs to make a net in terms of time and actual cost per unit. Now no one and I mean no one can make a living out of making hand made purse nets alone. It does help though if you are on invalidity and doing it as a side line. TC
  7. This is second hand, so I do not know the validity of it. he did post on face book about the alleged attack but from what I heard no one bit? TC
  8. Could it possibly be, that he thinks that the Face book members do not use this forum, and those that do he can block, so he just gets his side of the fairytale over without contradiction? TC
  9. The 63p could come about through paypal fee's if the money was not sent as a gift. TC
  10. The latest instalment of this sorry saga, from Mr Kelly off his facebook page. right im going to set a few people straight on here. it is obvious that my name is being bandied around saying i have ripped people off on the hunting life well the simple answer is i have not. i have asked many times where the people have got there information from and no one is willing to say but unless you were in the field where i was attacked and left for dead on the 8th december and saw what happened you have no right commenting on what went on. 2 males attacked me and whacked me on the top of the right a
  11. I would say that is a cabbage stick. Look up walking stick cabbage. https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=639&q=walking+stick+cabbage&oq=walking+stick+cabbage&gs_l=img.1.0.0j0i8i30j0i24l2.3928.10929.0.13203.21.20.0.0.0.0.657.2495.0j5j3j1j0j1.10.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..11.10.2475.1jyB3HBKMSw TC

  14. LMFAO never been called shrimpy before. Tiger prawn, yes, shrimpy TC
  15. How can you turn a harmless topic into another of those stupid English bashing threads? Especially when you haven't managed to beat England in the 6 nations for the last 2 years. Calm down dear, it's only the tiniternet! 'In his best Michael Winner voice.' TC

  17. To be honest one foopar apart Hartley has an impeccable record so far for this six nations. Wait till Samson Lee whispers something in his ear in the scrum, then see him lose the plot. He is a volatile person, great player though, but does tend to bite a little too much. TC
  18. And for that you get a Blue Peter badge! As you well know (30-3) it's where you end up that counts. There's banter and bravado, and you have those in abundance, but the truth is in reality and somehow you are not able to grasp that concept. Many true words spoken in jest. TC
  19. Whether we win the grand slam or not, for the next 2 weeks we are the only team that is still in with a chance of it due to the fact we have won more games than anyone else. Of course you have dear, that is why you are favourites to win the Grand slam. You are the only team to have won all of their games, but not the only team not to have lost a game. Enjoy your two weeks in the limelight. TC "Not losing" is not winning though is it? It's nothing like winning. It's not as bad as losing, but it's pretty shit. So I'd imagine. I'm going to enjoy my 2 weeks in the
  20. For the same reason you wanted the Wiki version, because it suited my cause. And to be able to point out that you were actually playing catch up in the home, 5 / 6 nations. TC So we are agreed England are better than Wales? Fixed that for you. But it does look like an England grand slam. 13 years is a long time to wait I know but it will be worth it for the bragging rights.

  23. I don't know but you still haven't answered the question. Neither have you! So I will tell you Wales by one game. So it seems England when the won the last two encounters in the six nations were just playing catch up. TC Wrong. We've played 127 games. England has won 1 more game than you. Read the link I hastily added. Please confirm when you've read it. 58/57 Oh yes the wiki link that well known source of true information. My link is from the official six nation web site. Repeat link for Walshie, as he does seem to have selective reading abilities. http:
