Whose going to be the next labour party leader ?
Born Hunter replied to Meece's topic in General Talk
I think a fella like this could really threaten the Tories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Jarvis A Midlander who has his seat in the North and a veteran of the parachute regiment, some of that time in the Special Forces Support Group. That's altogether more acceptable (even admirable) to the masses than what Corbyn offered. -

Be a polished as f**k blairite sort. -
Just to clarify, I'm pretty sure bowfishing (and spearfishing) in freshwater is illegal.

Woodcock-nice to see them back
Born Hunter replied to tegater's topic in Driven, Walked Up, Rough Shooting
Got out for my first ever woodcock flight this past week, again this morning. Just walking the dogs in the forest local, no gun. Pretty awesome just to watch them tbh. -
I find wolf hunting quite fascinating. A wolf skin rug throw for the bed would be epic! Take a certain rare kind of female to accept that in the bedroom though.

About a hundred quid sounds like a deal to me mate! No rush. Quite happy to have it tanned in it's 'tube skinned' state too (rather than cut down the belly and opened up. It can be ornamentally hung by the nose like in a trappers cabin then.

Depends on the price I guess but yeah. Look nice next to my Tahr skin. It'll just bug me a bit that it wasn't me that harvested it.
-
Do you harvest the skins? I want one.

There's obviously variation from place to place but just think about how many events involve social drinking. How many people you have become friends with that you met or developed you friendship with that involved drinking. How many romantic/sexual relationships were forged around events that involved drinking. How many personal/business opportunities have been through a social drinking event. It's just endless! For some little villages etc the local pub is as central to their lives as the local church is to a Mormon.

What a fine looking animal that is!

Cope or thrive? Exactly, but whether or not you diagnose it as an addiction the importance it has in our collective social, and to a lesser degree business, lives should not be over looked. I think it's such common part of our culture that we often fail to see that and focus on all the ones who couldn't live healthily with it. Also, I think 99% of people, quite naturally, embrace the drinking culture early in life, maybe too much, but ultimately benefit from it by building a strong social base, so when they decide to cut it out or at least cut back the only impact it has on their liv

Speaking as someone who is the exact opposite of an alcoholic, I think people generally focus on the bad side of drink when talking about it. IMO I genuinely think our 'drinking culture' is a central pillar of British society. For that reason it just can't be considered similar to any other recreational drug.

No Escape Body of Lies

Agreed. I think Scotland's argument is weaker than N.Ireland's but stronger than it was last week. Simply because Scotland had their "once in a generation" go at it knowing full well that we were potentially leaving the EU a couple years later. The political shift in N.Ireland is ground breaking. The strategy really will be to delay such referendums until Brexit has settled. Hopefully allaying the concerns of many of the more marginal nationalist voters back towards the Union.
-
It's looking shaky though mate. For the first time you have a nationalist majority and the border question remains the most contentious issue in Brexit. I genuinely hope you remain in the Union but if the people of Northern Ireland want out then they have a right as much as anyone.
-
Now they have their majority, see what excuses they find to delay it further. If nothing else, thank f**k we have binned off proper socialism for another generation and fieldsports are safer this morning. Unfortunately, we might lose Northern Ireland as a result...
-
This is the first time they have a workable majority (re hunting) since the ban and it's the first time they have refused to promise a free vote on it. Yes they a slippery c**ts but they didn't f**k us on the ban. Frankly it's best left consigned to history.

I remember finding an adult swan dead on a green lane and I wracked my brains for what caused it...... until I looked up and it was directly below power lines! Apparently not uncommon.

A Tesla merced 'em. Sneaky f***ing electric cars.

I don't know what the law is now but 5-10 years ago the EU passed some game hygiene legislation that meant anyone selling game needed to have done a course and be registered with some authority. There was however an exemption for those selling game in fur or feather (not processed beyond simply paunching/gralloching) to the end consumer. I believe a restaurant was classed as the end consumer but a game dealer was not. No idea if it's been tightened to do away with that exemption.

I think that being a countryman means you have to roll with the punches and cycles of nature. I'm from similar area as micky, tomo and sid g and I remember fondly ferreting 10-15 years ago. I had f**k all money but a couple of ferrets, some home made nets and a few mates and we had some sport. Heaps of rabbits to go at in hindsight! The railway lines were breeding hotspots! Moved away from rabbiting just as it started to go down hill but I often talk to a couple of mates about how it'd be great to get back into it again, casually like. It just ain't worth it though. I'm glad I e

They the ones that set fire to one of their rape victims as she was on the way to court? Absolute f***ing animals.

Brexit Party have gone tactical and backed out of Tory strongholds.

Given that they are designed for more than just working holes are they more biddable than fells? Not the odd one, I mean as a general breed trait.

It might've been Benghazi, but I'm sure it was Hull.
