  1. There's plenty of heirs and spares now for Harry to step away from his duty if he wishes. And tbh I can't really blame him given the weight being a member of that family must be to bare. They claim to want to be financially self sufficient and I respect that. HOWEVER, not consulting the Queen and the Crown first and just announcing it on Instagram is f***ing bad form and speaks volumes imo. I always thought he took after his grandfather HRH Prince Phillip, but now there's definite tones of his father and the Queens uncle, the disgraced King that abdicated.
  2. I think tom hanks has infinitely more about him than that fat weasel. I just can't see the qualities folk tell me about the c**t simply because he's such a monumental c**t. I would only piss on his burning body to retard the flames a little so as to prolong the joy!
  3. I'm quite enjoying Messiah. Basically what would happen if Jesus popped up today.
  4. Just to point out, that image is computer generated. Its just to show the extent of the wildfires. Still mad.
  5. I was there in November, before it got real bad. I was sat on the balcony of my hotel room enjoying the morning sun and there were tiny flakes of 'snow' falling. Not enough to dust anything and no smell of smoke but ash nonetheless! I had some meetings 20-30 stories up in the central business district and you got a fantastic view over the city. You could see the haze caused by the smoke. Pretty shit seeing the clips of koalas burning.
  6. Mind if I add some to this thread? Nothing the same as yours.
  7. I can be persuaded not to shoot early season birds, as a large percentage of them will be our own native stock which is under threat I believe. But 98% of the annual woodcock bag is composed of migrant birds, which I believe are not under threat. In fact, I read a stat recently that put the global woodcock population greater than the global mallard population! From GWCT Even if we consider our native stock, is it really us (sportsmen) who are the threat or a reduction in suitable habitat and/or climate change?
  8. Hazel is okay, especially to start off your stick making career but blackthorn is king imo. Other good alternatives to look out for, rosewood (rose hip bush) and hawthorn but I've not personally used either.
  9. I honestly think 'hunting' woodcock is one of the most magical fieldsports available. In my mind their is a romanticism associated with woodcock unlike any other winged quarry and I hope we don't see the end of it because of well meaning but perhaps misguided conservationists within our own ranks.
  10. Aye, I've shot deer out to 300 off them without too much fuss. Head shoot rabbit out beyond 100 all day long. For a quick snap shot on a bumped deer in woodland I'll just flick em out as if regular two piece sticks but for anything I have a bit of time on I'll utilise the full quad utility. Folks can spend a ton on sticks if they want, I'm certainly not afraid to part with cash for the right kit, but for my money these ten quid DIY jobies do all that the other shit does, and I don't give a f**k about loosing them.
  11. Congratulations, Kanny!
  12. Three and a half thousand airborne of the 82nd shipped out to destination classified...
  13. I heard industrial buildings were a steady investment. Meh, what do I know. If it was mine I'd put every penny into land.
  14. Four stick, forming two legs and two rests (quad sticks). Save ya pennies and knock a set up from those plastic coated green garden canes from B&Q.
  15. Harris is worth the expense, knock offs are shite. Only time I use a bipod is when zeroing. Otherwise I shoot off sticks or prone off the rucksack. Wing mirrors are handy too!
  16. I was given a LED Lenser about a year or so ago. Flood or spot been, variable pitch of beam and variable brightness. It's decent. I've lamped rabbits with the spot beam for a laugh.
  17. What, you didn't buy his defence of "every one of them gave consent to be filmed while pretending to be asleep as I bummed them!"? I agree though mate. I'd feed the dirty beast feet first into a woodchipper....... after due process and a fair trial of course!
  18. Just because I say I'm going to murder the President doesn't mean I will. But I'm still a f***ing idiot if I do say it! He's literally threatening to make himself and his chiefs/generals, with no uncertainty, war criminals. The man has the audacity to call out and strike Tyrants on their war crimes and then says he's willing to join their club. But here's the truth, he's so foolhardy with his mouth that he likely didn't realise he was. There is a shitload of legitimate military actions he could take to utterly paralyse Iran but the thick twat wades in with war crimes....
  19. You know! The odd fella no one really wants to get caught in a conversation with but isn't exactly threatening.
  20. Reading it, it sounds like he'd never have been caught had he not filmed it all. Essentially no other conclusive evidence existed! It makes ya wonder then, how many others, who don't need their own 'home video' library, are doing the same!? He doesn't even really look like a dirty monster. Just a 'normal' harmless weirdo.
  21. You're confusing multiple issues just because they have a common factor and you want an outlet for your hate of that common factor. Bombing a mosque etc in Iran will have no positive impact on immigration or immigrant culture in the UK. They're totally separate issues requiring separate policies. Throwing away the Hague Convention to make a point with Iran is utterly stupid. The US will be absolutely outcast and their word left meaningless, even by us. Such international law isn't like ripping up a trade agreement or dropping some sanctions. It's fundamental to our Western ideals. It's an
  22. This has historically been our strength and value. We are the masters of diplomacy and the Americans of war. They carry the big stick while we have the quiet word...
