Exactly mate. My collie's just a pet & not worked, but gets spoiled rotten with big soft beds, the best food I can afford, a tin of sardines each Sunday to help keep her coat nice, and 2 good walks a day. That poor thing seemed so happy just to get a fuss behind the ears, and nearly took my hand off when I dug a packet of rich tea biscuits out to give her a few. I couldn't imagine even being able to start treating a dog that badly. The vets fed her a whole tin of food & some biscuits while I was there and gave her a nice soft bed while the rescue people came over, and I can't thank

They are giving me a ring in a week or two after they've given her a bit of treatment etc. so I can go in to visit her & see how she's doing. She may well end up going to a new home...

Found this bitch running loose in the lanes today, vets said she'd not long had pups as she still had plenty milk in her, but they think she's probably yet another bitch dumped by the pikeys once they've sold the pups on early. She's been taken in to a (non-RSPCA!) rescue centre to be sorted out & treated, as I'm not able to take in another dog, but would love to be able to get my hands around the neck of whoever starved the poor girl. Lovely friendly thing too, it boils my piss that anyone can treat a dog like that.

Go see the camels down towards the Lizard, it's my mate's farm & is a great place. I worked in Helston when I lived in Falmouth, and there's loads to amuse yourself with in the surrounding areas. A good bet for a decent dog walk is around the Mineral Tramways paths back towards Truro, some nice bits to explore there.

It was too busy munching on a lump of stale fruit cake I'd put out for the birds, I'm taking it as a compliment to my baking skills Plus the bedroom window was already open, I'm one of those who likes cold bedroom/warm missus at night

Good shooting, and good eating. Great work
-
So, I was making my morning cuppa & looked up the lawn to see this fat b*****d munching under my bird feeders. 1 shot later...biggest bloody rat I've seen in a long time. (Ketchup for scale, not for taste).

I've been given an ancient Relum Model 322 by a neighbour who found it in a shed, and told to do what I want with it. It's got a fair bit of surface rust, and well down on power, but it works. Is it worth keeping as a project or not worth the hassle to source parts etc.?

I'm blessed/cursed with a broad Black Country accent (not Brummie, I don't have a brain injury/enjoy touching my sister). Not the worst accent to have, and has got me laid twice when I lived down in Cornwall as I was classed as 'exotic'. I can't understand broad Scottish accents, and not much of a clue when it comes to scouse or geordie either.

Hoggs of Fife coat to replace my knackered Seeland one, plenty aftershave (family must think I stink), and a few other bits & bobs; the folding pocket saw will be quite handy I think.

My brother's gay. He wasn't 'turned' that way by what he learned at school in sex education, or from seeing gay people on telly etc., but was born that way. My mom is a Christian who goes to church regularly, and she doesn't care at all about his sexuality, just that he's happy in life. I for one couldn't give a shit, he's a sound lad, as is his long-term partner (who happens to be a much better shot than me with both rifle & shotgun!), and neither of them are running around trying to 'convert' anyone or bum anything that moves.

I did a little bit of asking around in the family to get various dates of births & deaths etc, then worked my way back from there by going to local archives, seeing what records elderly relatives had etc. If you're looking for old photos, try and see what photographic companies were operating in the area back then. Chances are that most families wouldn't be able to afford their own camera pre-war, and that any shots of them would be taken on days out etc. May be worth seeing if the companies are still going, or whether they left an archive someone snapped up. I've managed to trace Mom'

I hope this isn't turning into some sort of 'nude royal' bingo. The Prince Phillip ones will be terrifying.

RIP to all those who died, murdered by complete twats. I hope all 77 of their virgins were of the Susan Boyle type.

but would lazers stop a photo being taken plus i live in the middle of nowhere Just don't let the laser shine directly into the lens, or across it, as it'll completely bugger the sensor.

Cheapest Rimfire set up for rabbit hunting.
AndyH replied to IanS's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
The bunny-vapour that results from it is rather amusing Shouldnt think theres much in the way of usable meat left after? Depends if you like rabbit puree or not. Only did it once when out stalking with a mate, just to see what would happen. -

Had a couple of giant puffballs so far, and eyed up a few different varieties in the woods that I'll have when it stays dry for a few days in a row.

Grind them down & make my own charlie

I'm with Hob & Jill on this one. Started working the week I left school, worked every day off & evening through college & uni ( 2 degrees don't come cheap!) so I could pay my own way, did crap factory jobs for an agency for a year or so when I left and basically grafted until I got where I wanted to be. Yeh, there's a lot of dossers out there, but it's not just limited to one generation.
-
I was working in a factory a couple of years ago with a fair few lads from Eastern Europe, and they worked a lot harder than the scallies who were sent there by the agency. We got through 3 English lads in a week because they couldn't be bothered, didn't work, were skiving off, getting stoned at lunch then f*****g up the machinery, and turning up late or not at all. The Lithuanians, Latvians & Poles worked their arses off, and were top lads too. Even the Iraqi bloke I was given to train worked better than the English lads.

Ask this chap if you can borrow his dog (photo taken in Wolverhampton Asda carpark yesterday...)

Brummies, they just don't speak proper. Us Yam-Yams, however, have the oldest accent/dialect in the country, with some words being traced back to Middle-English.

Just one person?! There's 650 MP's, I'm not too sure how to choose which one. Oh, and another vote for Adrian Chiles, for being a morose tit with a face like a cancerous potato, and supporting a load of stripey scumbags.
