Signed, for all the good it'll do.

You don't usually find them until a week or so later mate. The little buggers are so small, it's amazing where they can hide on ya body! Then one day, you're scratching ya bollocks and there's a f***ing great horrible crawling black tick fast on. Let us know when you find him. LOL LOL

You checked ya own body for the little bugger? Probably filling it's belly as we speak!....... sleep well. LOL

We touched 2nd in the medal table for a moment there! Very successful day! Edited: Back second again! Seriously Fantastic.

Inspiring performance from the women's hockey team tonight against the yanks. Came back from 1-0 down going in to the last ten minutes to win 2-1 with two girls down. They've won their group and now into the quarters. They're looking good for a medal.

BOOM! GB now third in the medal table!

Good Solution, Coexist Rather Than Total Eradication
Born Hunter replied to reddog70's topic in General Talk
Possible wolf-dog interactions won't just be directly about eating the livestock though. Like other apex predators, wolves actively kill other lesser predators when encountered to improve their competitiveness in the local food chain. It just makes you wonder how many of these dogs you really need to be effective in areas that have well established wolf packs. In the video, although wolves were mentioned, it seemed that the most significant threat was coyote packs. Added to that I was under the impression, rightly or wrongly, that coyotes didn't really form packs in established wolf territory -

This lot didn't do to well against wolves ......https://youtu.be/MRv_DqZW-H4 Well ain't that about the bottom line of all this. A flock of sheep are gonna need a fair few dogs to see off a pack of big strong north American timber wolves! -
Good Solution, Coexist Rather Than Total Eradication
Born Hunter replied to reddog70's topic in General Talk
So I got the impression from that that the spike collars are to stop the dogs murdering each other? As well as protection from wolves. Good little documentary that. Those kangals sound like they'd be something to watch 'go'! -
Depends what you want really, fixed or removable hitch, bypass relay or the proper plug in electrics. For my motor for similar needs I went with a fixed hitch and single 7-pin electrics on a bypass relay. About £140 I think from towsure or similar and fitted it myself easy enough. probably have been another 1-200 to have fitted but you can get a quote off of the towing websites. http://www.towsure.com/towbars?gclid=CPelusPguc4CFUETGwodP1wJSQ

I've got half an eye on the Women's Hockey. Little way to go yet but our ladies are top of their group. Local farmer's daughter is in the team. Be nice to see them beat their London '12 bronze! They've beaten the London silver medalist's, the Argies. The Dutch are in the other group, who are Beijing and London gold medalists.

Decent day for Team GB yesterday. Men sychro 3m spring board, Jack Laugher and Chris Mears taking gold. For me that's a particularly impressive achievement considering "The Chinese have dominated the sport for decades, having topped the medal table for seven successive Olympic Games and eight World Championships".

You was up as late as me then that was a great competition the chap Quinquan who broke the world record is some lifter......clean and jerk is a careful balancing act between pure balls to the wall commitment and technical discipline.......to clean and jerk 3 times your body weight is some feat. I'd like to say I was up late watching it all, but I caught it on catch up. For someone (me) who's shit at cleans and front squats I can really appreciate how incredible such a lift is. To throw yourself under a bar weighing over 3 times your BW and go ass to grass like that is ballsy! As you s

What's that Accip, you want regular updates via PM of every event? I don't think we'll have much of a problem with that if we all share the load.

Anyway, I don't want to detract this thread from your socialist movement to infringe on even more of my bloody freedoms!

And on the topic of reform if we were to start from scratch I'd be inclined to fully separate the three branches of government in a presidential system and ditch the Lords in favour of a more democratic house or a more pure form of a house of wise-men. That's the idealist in me. The traditional pragmatic conservative part of me feels like that'd be a step too far. LOL
-
This is why we need voting reform TBH, no doubt a party with a solid libertarian platform could pick up a few seats under some kind of PR and then they may get the opportunity to influence policy in a coalition government. That will never happen in the UK either though Even if it did though, there just isn't the mentality for libertarianism in the UK. It's just not on the table in UK politics. Obviously I can see how your suggestion would more fairly represent UK politics though. Not sure if I'd go for single transferable vote though. But for the above, no fecking electoral system
-
There'll never be a significant libertarian movement in the UK. The British only know authority! Our answer to any problem is regulations and bans! So long as we are regulating the other fellas liberties, we're free right? LOL I'd bet 95% of the UK electorate couldn't even tell you what libertarianism is and in fact I've had debates with educated colleagues who seem to think modern liberalism somehow represents freedom and yet typical libertarian values represent some sort of extreme right wing! It'll never happen in the UK.

Powerhouse that lad. Strange to see a swimmer with such a powerful physique! Apparently he can do a press-up so explosively that he can upright himself! I'm going to have to watch that video because that sounds impressive. Anyway, the lad is a credit to the country and sport. Proper old school mentality of "Queen and country", absolutely certain of his own success. Incredible! when you look at most swimmers , they all have good physics , broad shoulders with a wedge shape bodies , think its near as much in the pool as the gym lifting weights, but not over the top, or they get to h

Bloody good show from Jazz Carlin as well. Silver in 400 freestyle. The lass was so happy in the interview after. It's nice to see that enthusiasm from a sportsman representing the country. That's half the reason I like the Olympics so much, all the athletes have an enthusiasm, gratitude and honour in being there that is just not often seen in the high profile sports.
-
I'm a terrible swimmer and not for lack of trying. f**k knows why but it's something I wish I was better at because i actually enjoy it, or would like to enjoy it. Anyway, just watched that Chinese fella in the 56kg class lift 170kg clean and jerk! f**k me those Chinks dominate the lower weight classes in Olympic lifting. Very impressive.

If they're owt like Notts they'll want evidence to show that you have missed shooting opportunities through not having an open ticket. Which seems a little daft, you've missed them. Lol.

I think some of you lot need locking up! LOL. I'd say mine is bang on. Those that know me probably reckon it's about 40% low mind. Lol 55% - Though your conscience is in the right place you also have a pragmatic streak and generally arent afraid to do your own dirty work! Youre no shrinking violet - but no daredevil either. You generally have little trouble seeing things from another persons perspective but, at the same time, are no pushover. Everything in moderation including moderation might sum up your approach to life.

"There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter." Ernest Hemingway I think for some, that can easily be paraphrased to be the hunting of all men, not just armed men.
