An assumption that ignores the obvious observations. It's an assumption based on your set in stone hypothesis that 'they're definitely out to get us' as supported by all the statements above but which cannot so simply be applied to what we are talking about. I don't care about any of that, none of it has anything to do with the governments attitude on domestic tobacco use! Observation of the governments attitude towards domestic tobacco use is clear...... it's progressively restrictive and inhibiting! Quite starkly contrary to your assertion that they want us to all die from tobacco and al

In 300 years we will be engineering our own genetic future..... hereditary faults will be predominantly solved in the lab, not through more conventional natural selection or selective breeding. The selection process, whether considered an advanced form of 'natural' or not, will be largely affected by us rather than the complex methods of nature.... Outrageous statement maybe, but it's just the next step on the evolutionary ladder..... We've been fighting natural selection for millennia, it could be argued that it's the nature of such intelligent species.

Oh, LOL. That Zoo drama series is pathetically 'animal rights'. Got a picture of a few rough shooters as part of the opening sequence with the monologue something like "....we've used animals for years, persecuted them, hunted them..... what if they fought back?".

The Met office has funding of over £150M a year to answer exactly that type of question......... the US Feds NOAA something like $5B....... what makes you think the brain trust of the THL will know?

What is it? That Zoo drama?

When thatcher left downing street she and dennis signed a deal with some tobacco company to promote cigarette smoking in third world countries, i remember it well. Strictly speaking, she wasn't in power, but she did run the country for a good while, and must have had the same "profit before people" mentality, evil b*****d What about the scaremongering we had recently about vaping, your party did everything they could to put people off vaping, worried about peoples health, or worried about tobacco profits? When we look at the actual legislation regarding tobacco and smoking it i

The State would certainly ban tobacco and alcohol if they could, they don't simply because they daren't. What the Government think is right and what society think is right are not often the same. We are continually 'educated' of the vices of alcohol and tobacco by the State, they don't want us doing it! Taxing sugar and saturated fats to combat obesity and heart disease is wrong. The cause of any dietary linked disease or illness is lack of education and mental weakness, not the food. Why should those that are capable of enjoying sugar and saturated fats as part of a balanced diet be penal

State sponsored doping.............. did the Cold war ever really end?

Those Arctic wolves somehow look more menacing than their timber wolf cousins. This is the first Attenborough series I've watched in years. The filming is very 'cinematic', if that's the right word, feels almost 3D.

On a similar tone, I thought it was a shame to see the day used to highlight the Trident debate. Current political issues, even ones of defence, should be left for another day.

Tottally agree well said, feel sorry for the family though enough grief without that shite stirring it, Of course, they don't deserve that and it's them I feel for. If I was to die prematurely I'd love it to be at the hands of mother nature while on some wild hunt. To be remembered like that..... I could only wish that my loved ones would laugh at the vitriol from the antis knowing that hate is their problem, we don't need it, and if there is an afterlife I'm smug in the knowledge that I caused the hateful bunch to fill their lives with a bit more of that shite. f**k em..... You'

Bless them, so bitter and twisted they spend every waking moment of life filling their time with hate and anger while we hunters fill it with passion and freedom. What a sad existence.....

As much as I'm usually against the state sticking their nose into my business I do accept that it's part and parcel of living under the protection of a government.... This is one of those situations which I would support. It does not infringe on any of my freedoms. It still allows me full freedom to have whatever I want done with my body after death. It forces people to make the decision rather than ignore it, the consequences of ignorance now being positive (lives saved) rather than negative, which I'm always in favour of. Nothing will change, those that don't want to donate will now

I get the impression the lad isn't a professional keeper, just a part timer..... correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, yes a terrier will dog in if brought on right and of the sensible biddable type. But why do you think you would be better off with one of them over a small cocker? Only yesterday I was invited on a boundary day and asked to bring my terrier that I beat with and shoot over among other jobs. She's useful and stood next to a small lemon cocker, no significant size difference.............. but for a keepers dog the spaniel is born and bred....

Contact your local council. Be a 5 min phone call. Might even have the info on their website, some do.

My Beating Experience..........
Born Hunter replied to TRUEBRIT66's topic in Driven, Walked Up, Rough Shooting
They're taking the piss mate. Find somewhere else. We get 20 quid a day, pork pies, biscuits and beer at lunch, hot food and beer after. I come and go as I please doing vermin, get a few walked up days just kicking hedges etc, a small beaters day. The shoot isn't the best in the country but it's great crack. I know of a top quality private shoot where beaters are treated just as well with access to stalking, dog work etc as well as quality beaters/keepers days. -
Actually I think the opposite ,,,some might be killed quick ,,,but I bet the majority weren't .... I'm led to believe them SAF missiles detonate befor they hit the plane,,and it's the shrapnel that downs the plane,,,,I bet born hunter knows ... So it wouldn't surprise me if some folk are alive befor they hit the deck,,,or possibly unconscious with the altitude... Some need a direct hit, some have a proximity fuse and detonate when within a certain range. There's multiple systems.... but they still reckon it was a bomb on the plane from what I've read. At 40k feet it's out the range of most

I've had bearings go with no such symptoms so could still be the bearing. But generally your advice is what's given so I'm not saying you're wrong. With one, on stripping it down to remove the assembly itself showed the bearing was totally f****d. Another time a recently replaced bearing showed no sign of wear on inspection but on replacement fixed the problem. They can be b*****ds, lol.

Tilly, just read how you are getting on and it sounds like a dream. It sounds f***ing amazing! I'm almost certainly not brave enough to leave the UK on my own but Canada or N.America more generally is the only place I'd want to go if I ever did. The big game hunting, general wilderness and freedom over there is just SO appealing. Well done....

SAM or a bomb on board. The media seem to be favouring an ISIL bomb..... They seem to think it was out of the range of a SAM, but I guess by that they mean a man-portable SAM, not a vehicle mounted system which would comfortably have the range to drop a commercial jet. Also ISIL have already taken credit....... so must be true, the trustworthy souls that they are.

The new photon 6.5x is an excellent piece of kit. Been using one over the past month on the rimfire and really impressed. Certainly not limited to rimfire use either...... Been playing with a thermal monocular for spotting too, as a combination (thermal for spotting, NV for shooting) it makes controlling vermin a formality! But that's another story.....

LOL, they're under investigation for doing an illegal barrel role over Grantham on the 4th Oct! http://www.granthamjournal.co.uk/news/local/video-did-vulcan-do-banned-trick-over-grantham-1-7033833

With your background and understanding if you can find the time to get involved with a couple of local shoots I would have thought that you would soon have plenty to go at. I'm sure you know as well as I do that there are plenty of decent keepers about who are helpful to those that know the crack. By the sounds of it that area is made for such a person. For those that don't understand driven shooting though, it sounds a hard place to live! LOL
