I think Germany has a problem with boar coming into suburbs and trashing the landscape, forest of Dean is starting to, vehicle write offs from collisions, accidents where they flick the turf out onto road edges, green areas and gardens rooted up. Dogs injured.bins overturned. I'm sure I read a report that said there is an estimated boar population of 9000 in Berlin City! LOL

There has to be a habitat, climate or food issue that haults an animals spread. Chinese water deer suffer high fawn mortality rates and prefer arable farmland or phragmites reed beds etc, i woukd say that a mixture of unsuitable habitat and food has slowed their spread exacerbated by their fawn mortality rates. I would suggest you are right for Roe. They are selective browsers so maybe again in the Midlands what ground there is is perhaps lacking suitable browse. I believe the Roe one is habitat simply because the Roe that are here seem to generally be in cracking health. They do

There's not many people grown up enough to just be mates with a bird and also drop into bed together once in a while....... I agree, I didn't say otherwise, not sure if you misunderstood me mate.

Depends how you define platonic, lol. Can two mutually attractive people have a genuinely valuable friendship without f***ing each other or crossing any lines? Yeah I think so but it does take a bit of integrity. Does that mean that they wouldn't f**k each other given different circumstances or frankly play with the thought? Nah, bollocks of course you they do. LOL

I wonder how many people think that the SAS soldiers involved in the embassy siege who essentially executed the two terrorists in the telex room that hostage eye witnesses say had disarmed themselves and surrendered (along with video evidence of them discarding their weapons) should also be imprisoned for murder? It's also widely known that one of the troopers intended to execute the one surviving terrorist until he was told he was on camera! Probably best to do him for attempted murder too. Our country sent Sgt Blackman to the most violent place on this planet where everyone, including so
-
Your inference of their mindset is based on the assumption that they filmed and passed around the footage for their own pleasure. How do you know that? You have no idea. Eight years may seem reasonable to you for murder but to many the circumstances of such a deployment are extremely mitigating. If indeed killing an enemy combatant seriously wounded by an anti tank canon round is even morally murder. For most the argument isn't one of doing away with the laws of war and RoEs, it's about re-calibrating what they are and not what the politicians tell the public they are so as to sanitise

Who are you and what have you done with the Scothunter that used to be on here? Impostor! LOL LOL

Would the fish species not generally be dependent on Man spreading them to isolated water systems? They have these natural barriers unlike the mammalian species you mention. If there is no great desire by Man to continue the spreading then they'll remain localised within their current water systems would be my guess. An interesting one is Chinese Water Deer, they're not restricted by any physical barriers like fish but seem to be fairly localised and not spreading to the same degree other deer species do. Similar topic but I find it interesting why Roe heavily populate Northern and Sou

Whining in a national newspaper LOL. He was interviewed because there are a f**k ton of people protesting his incarceration! It's not like he's here banging on about this on is own. In fact if nobody wanted to interview him or support him he'd just be sat there doing his time and liaising with his legal team on his options like every other convicted criminal. A man doesn't just accept his fate from an injustice, that's what weak willed cowards do. Don't expect him to just accept it. But a man does move forward and fight for his justice with dignity.
-
LOL, soooo thousands? What's your point? Who said it was overwhelming, I said all the noise is being made by supporters, not him. For those that seem to think the man himself has not taken this on the chin like a man.
-
Very true and I think it's worth pointing out that the man himself isn't pleading for everyone's sympathy. The noise around this is being made by thousands of civilians, marines, soldiers and other servicemen! Just look at the sea of green. The naivety of the politicians and Left who believe this sort of thing isn't part and parcel of every conflict they fight in, whether the battlefield be Europe, the Falklands or the Iranian embassy in London 1980. The public are delusional to these facts, the politicians verbally sanitise war so as to more easily justify their policies and for a long ti

You don't honestly agree with him being jailed surely ?He's a convicted murderer, jail sounds like the right place for him hes hardly a murderer for killing a enemy in war more of hero in my eyes just remember it's folk like him who keep us safe after allHe's a murderer in the eyes of the law and at the end of the day that's what counts.What counts is the man left his wife and kids at home to go to a hostile country to fight so that people such as yourself don't have to leave their wife and kids and you can sleep safely at night .........I reckon being a murderer in the eyes of law counts for

The Geneva convention does not differentiate between treatment of signatories or none signatories, the difference is combatants and none combatants and terrorists are not classed as combatants unless a Government refers to the conflict as a war. As a signatory to the Geneva Convention Britain is bound by it and as the breach was filmed and produced as evidence it was not possible to refute the charge, Really? Article 2... "The Conventions apply to a signatory nation even if the opposing nation is not a signatory, but only if the opposing nation "accepts and applies the provisions" of the

He hasn't got three years, he's done three years, of an eight year sentence which was originally ten years but reduced on appeal. The man has been shit on. And just to put a few more things straight, Sgt blackman didn't film it, another marine had a helmet cam from which the footage was found on a laptop sometime later and handed to police. Not smart but it wasn't him that was responsible for filming it.
-
The Geneva convention WAS NOT broken because the taliban are not signatories. It wasn't even brought up in his trial to my knowledge. I'm pretty sure he was prosecuted for acting outside of our f***ing ridiculous rules of engagement and therefore illegally.

Got a set of Grabber AT on my FL2. Similar requirements to you and they are doing just fine. Seems to be a very popular AT at the moment.
-
That's the sort of stuff I like to read! I'd be utterly made up with either of those stags.

My bitch terrier is a c**t for it. Badger shit usually.

I'm a long way from enjoying my job but I'm not sure the grass is any greener so stick with it. Mondays can be f***ing hard work and by Monday I mean Monday to Thursday! LOL
-
Very little detail anf actual fact in that report, it's almost laughable.. The biggest ever nuke detonated was a Russian device called the Tsar Bomba and it was far too large to be deployed in a real world situation. I'm guessing that new missile is a MIRV configured with multiple warheads. It might well carry enough of them to devastate on a countrywide scale, but then so would a salvo of trident missiles from a UK or US sub. It's liberal reporting I think! I think the combined yield is around 50Mt from around 10 MIRVs which is obviously a more efficient way of spreading that destructiv
-
Nice read that and something I keep saying I will do but haven't yet. Please do post more of you stuff from the other side of the Atlantic too.

Hawks I think. A small training jet.

The Typhoons covering the North are based at Lossiemouth but I think there are Tonkas there too. Every Typhoon I've ever seen has been in the clouds whereas most Tonkas fly just above your roof, lol, and in pairs making a hell of a racket. Dunno if that helps ya. Yeah the Harrier went ages ago but it was based just south of me in my youth so saw it a bit. Just read that recently our Typhoons have been training with our Destroyers in a maritime role so maybe he was up there to assist with the Russians. Feck knows.
-
When I lived in Linc's I would see Tornadoes, AWACS, Herc's, Red Arrows and Vulcan regularly and the odd Harrier and F-15 but the Typhoons are just a little out the way and I'm not there daily anyway. Just unusual seeing a Typhoon in that area. I often wonder why our jets don't have an anti shipping role seeing as we only have a poxy 19 surface combatant ships. Be a five minute job for them flattening the ageing Russian Northern Fleet. LOL
-
LOL, they could open up whatever they want on those old tin cans, one of our Destroyer escorts is capable of handling it. They do mock attack runs on NATO ships too. It's something like that that would start a hot war. Wonder if it was a coincidence that I saw a Typhoon doing acrobatics over the skies of Lincolnshire yesterday evening. Not a common sight where I was and it made me wonder.
