    Well, I thought with the hard time you lot give him on here I'd give the fella a compliment!

    He's busy with year 6 English lessons.

    Dunno if anyone else has tried them. Be interesting to hear some other opinions...

    I mean, I haven't been yomping the winter rape like normal because it's all failed this year. And that is the real test of a pair of gaiters for waterproofing imo. But I have been in puddles half way up my shin and remained dry, very simply because they are designed to fit snug (like a wetsuit) so you get no water ingress between the gaiter and boot, unlike with a traditional gaiter. They also seem shockingly bramble resistant. They also enhance your ankle support a little. I wear them with my Altberg Highcountry boots.

    Talking of gaiters. I've been using neoprene MacGaiters this season. Couldn't really get on with gaiters before but I'm loving these.

    Sounds a cracking day with the exception of your mates bitch going back.

    Tangent... look how f***ing stoned Joe is here! This is why I can't take him seriously when he's spouting the virtues of weed. It doesn't improve shit! LOL

    Save ya self the bother, I'm not an expert, just thinking out loud until one comes along. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I wouldn't have too much faith in the Iranian military's ability when compared to a Western one. All of the units a probably fantasising about the prospect of being the ones to shoot down the 'american devils' first. And those higher up are probably shitting themselves at the thought of what trump will splat next! Yep, accidents happen in these situations. When we were skirting the coast of the Gulf coming home from Oz a couple months ago I was looking at that flig

    The Iranian's are shitting bricks over US air strikes now, either drone style assassinations or similar to what Syria has had a taste of under the Trump administration and Tehran is their heart. I imaging everyone there have been on a knife edge recently. Not to mention they flung a load of ballistic missiles about within hours of it. Any speculation that it was a US false flag has little credibility in my mind. A. what does it achieve? It's hardly grounds for invasion or regime change. B. Tactically, how do they achieve that without the Iranians knowing? To my knowledge the US

    Western governments are now claiming that Iran likely shot down the airliner. I find that much more plausible than the other explanations offered so far.

    Our constitutional monarchy gives a check on government that is free of the partisan childish BS that goes on in the Commons, historically answerable only to God. Whether there is still value in that today might be questionable but I think it's quite indisputable the contribution our monarchy makes to our world leading diplomatic and soft power. The UK would be a hell of a lot poorer without them.

    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.

    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!

    NO! Im on #7.

    I'm quite enjoying Messiah. Basically what would happen if Jesus popped up today.

    Just to point out, that image is computer generated. Its just to show the extent of the wildfires. Still mad.

    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.

    Mind if I add some to this thread? Nothing the same as yours.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    What a day! Brilliant stuff!
