  1. Me too! Not for breaky mind. Was quite nice though I heard you have to skin them otherwise it'll make it bitter.
  2. Basically the Hunting Act bans all hunting of mammals with dogs but then goes on to allow certain exemptions. In a nutshell up to two dogs to flush to gun one 'soft' terrier to ground for bolting fox for the protection of ground nesting birds unlimited number of dogs for actually hunting rats and rabbits tracking wounded animals for humane dispatch unlimited number of dogs for flushing to a bird of prey I'm also pretty sure it states that hunting is defined as an intentional act, therefore if you are legally hunting under one of the exemptions but then yo
  3. Not sure that would feel right to me.... Looks good though. The toast looks like quality stuff. I could maybe be persuaded roe heart and liver fried with bacon and mushrooms is breakfast mind....
  4. Because New Labour and Parliament said so, that's really all the sense there is in it. I was just commenting on the law, not my personal opinion on the ethics of it.
  5. Socks is a man of few words, lol. He's dead right of course but I'd add that it would be legal to use a couple of terriers to hunt up and flush mink to be shot and if necessary to find and kill a wounded mink. Something one day I'd like to have a go at myself. You could also use as many terriers as you like to pursue rats and if a mink was accidentally nobbled then no law has been broken.
  6. If you're a lucky boy you can own two of those over here. If you had the SCAR in 22 you could have all three. Fair few loops to have to jump through though! LOL
  7. Well because I'm not a gun nut just one or two ARs will do me.
  8. I think sub prime mortgages are fine in principle provided that they are rated appropriately for the people who want to invest in them. My understanding is that the core of the problem before was that the ratting companies were essentially in the pocket of their clients, the banks, leading to a totally fraudulent system! The financial markets were unwittingly investing money in bonds that were far riskier than the ratting companies were claiming. Had the whole system not been (still is!) so fraudulent the market pressure would have forced the banks to reduce the number of sub prime mortgages b

  10. I worry their short sighted policies wont be rethought until the city of Britain is finally formed!
  11. Yeah the one in Notts. Defo recommend it mate.
  12. Murderers get life in prison, if we're going to have a crime so grievous we call it crime against humanity then let's have a proper sentence. They knew how to sentence such people last century.
  13. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscuits_and_gravy Doesn't look particularly appetising but it's delicious! Basically biscuits are like a scone/dumpling type thing and the gravy is flour and milk mixed in with the bacon dripping and bits of left over sausage or bacon for flavour. Add some scrambled egg, streaky bacon, sausage patties and fried tates (also covered in the gravy) and ya laughing!
  14. I have homemade american pancakes dripping in honey every Sunday. Sets me up lovely. Not a big fan of blueberries.
  15. You ever had biscuits and gravy mate? It's an american thing. Breakfast over there for me is a shovel full of extremely crispy streaky bacon, another shovel full of scrambled eggs, cubed fried tates and two or three 'biscuits' covered in 'gravy'. Glass of fresh orange and mug of black coffee. Kinda there version of a full English.
  16. One day I'll have this. Place is heaven!
  17. Oh I'm in the heart of the East Mids, everywhere is arable! LOL. But still they are hanging on. I love em. Those and Woodcock (which we don't see very many of unfortunately). I hear stories of back in the old days, before the onset of modern agriculture when the local farmers shoots could go out and shoot English into three figures such was the wild stock! If I had the resource I'd love to manage a couple thousand acres exclusively for partridges.
  18. Been a particularly good year for them on our patch. Managed to put a few over guns too. I like watching the young coveys on the stubbles after harvest. I saw a late clutch end of September that were only golf/tennis ball sized, presumably a second clutch.
  19. Herons roosting. Sounds Jurassic! Woodpecker on a dead tree. A covey of English partridges chattering. Muntjac barking at dusk.
  20. I've been probably getting on for 10 times and all but twice I've had the pit burger. Had the Pitmaster tray which I thought was a bit disappointing and ribs which were good. It's all good stuff really, just I absolutely love a burger. The brisket is good. Pit burger comes with it in!
