    I suppose if I shot birds from tree boughs it wouldn't miss but when I've disturbed a pheasant from cover and took a shot with it no chance powerful little thing with a kick as well, I looked into the history of it and it was a gunsmith in Braintree Essex who was known as Mr Braintree he was the Mayor butcher Gunsmith etc his surname was Bartram I believe going back the best part of a hundred years, funny the things you acquire.

    I've got an old .410 poachers gun with a folding stock and I can honestly say I haven't hit a barn door with it it's useless I keep it because I like the look of it and it's old.

    My old man f****d off when I was five I'm 53 now my youngest son tracked him down to Liverpool indisputable proof it was him I wrote a lengthy letter went to post it then thought bollocks to him I don't need the grief my wife and two lads are all I need. My advise is tip him bollocks but what ever any one says on here you will go with your gut.

    These bunnies were were shot with my CZ .17 if you hit them in the head they don't resemble Road kill but a body shot I get where Meece is coming from I've owned mine for 8 years from new I love it they fire very flat and accurate but the ammo is more expensive than the .22 and they are loud even with a silencer as they shoot a lot faster than the .22 my advise try both before you commit to buying either.

    Joe my advise is if you have a local hunt turn up introduce yourself be sensible get accepted and I can guarantee the invites will flow from ratting ferreting shooting beating and in some but not all cases a bit of digging that way you have laid nothing out and you will then see what suits you best when it comes to hunting best of luck.

    Every time I click one of your posts I have to run out in the kitchen and make something to eat lol that looks amazing the way the light is shining off the yolk and the tomatoes work of food art.

    Nothing like a publisher or any experience in that field but I appreciate good well prepared food when I see it, my first job as a teenager was a commis chef in a good English restaurant in London called the Baron of Beef where everything was made from scratch we served a lot of game and preparation was a major part of the eating, I work on the Railways now so a big difference. I make my own cider I have dabbled in Beers and wine but I always default back to cider. I have read the lot it's great look forward to more thanks again for the post.

    17Hornet this is a great post showing the simplest ways are the best but the skills that are being displayed can only be passed on from generation to generation thanks for the post it's worthy of a book.

    Nice one Jok that was ages ago near the top of Black Mountain in Wales heading down into Swansea before the Welsh Game fair I was busting for a piss and my Mrs took a photo and the rest is history lol.

    Eggs look really good I can tell they weren't dropped in water which I can't stand, a proper poacher looks like it was used there I usually grease the plastic pots with butter and gently simmer with not too much water in the pan with a see through lid on and then give them a little shake and they come out spot on nice looking food.

    They look fantastic Matt well done.

    One that I really like is Birdsong Sebastian Faulks if you haven't read it give it a go, I normally go for autobiographys of people I like, Clarissa Dickson Wrights spilling the beans is exceptional I also learnt by reading that book was that her father was the Queens Surgeon.

    That looks very familiar to me would that be the Wetherspoons Red Lion at Gatwick North terminal I have the eggs Benedict every time it's lovely washed down with a pint or two of Doom Bar.

    It sounds like he's been banged up he will do it standing on his head the East End was always full of characters when I was living there one of my mates went to court I went round his house his wife said he got 18 months and then he popped out of a cupboard laughing his head off it got adjourned , next time he went up he got 3 years lol he didn't give a monkeys had a choice of a soft prison chose to do it all in Wandsworth. I am more upset at Gingerbeard disappearing laundry baskets and all that best post ever that was.

    I don't know where you live but railway people travel long distances to go where the work is there has been masses of OHL work on the cross rail project in the Shenfield area, also age is another factor if your young the apprenticeship scheme is a good starting point or some of the youngsters use what is known as the graduation scheme all the information will be on the Network Rail website and there are multitudes of contract companies out there as well. if you get a start on the overheads they train you up as you go along I used to operate and control Road Railers for them it's a tough

    I was surprised with the lack of creativity with a poxy bowl of rice crispies and then BOOM there it was full English I'm surprised you ain't got the BBQ sparked up it as only -1 when I left for work this morning lol enjoy.

    I've done 18 years which is nothing in Railway terms my colleague has done 45 years still going strong he's retiring in 18 months they say if you stay for five years your here for life, I love the job it's a way of life good banter out in the fresh air and countryside the public don't get access to, it's changed massively in my time we only used to wear hi-vis vests when I started now head to toe in orange and if I started going on about the paperwork just to access the track I would be here all day.
