Working Party's

Half the time you're better off without most of them. The ones that occassionally turn up spend more time gabbing because they haven't seen each other in months that less work gets done than usual. We get by each week with between 2-4 of us but if I'm honest it does piss me off a bit most don't even make an effort, personally I would have a formal agreement, minimum number of work days or additional financial contribution. Could say something like, £1500 per gun or £1300 if a minimum of 5 work days are attended for example. -
Now I've watched the video I think you are all being a bit harsh tbh. The bloke clearly had no grit at all, he didn't want to leave the woman (partner/friend/sister) but had no mental strength to fight back. He just took the punches like a cowaring dog, too afraid to fight back but too afraid to leave the woman. You can't just put courage where there isn't any! I won't knock a man for lacking courage, we're not all born with it. If he made the concious dicision to save his own skin that's different but to me he just lacked courage, that's not something easily changed. I'd hang my head in s

I can't see the video but i got the jist a bunch of arabs set about a man and woman and the man just left her to get a pasting? Well, that's not exactly very heroic or courageous but what I would say is that not everybody is made the same. Some folks instincts of self preservation are just that strong that it completely overrides the instinct to protect the weak. If that chap just lacked courage then I'd say fair enough but if he actively thought "f**k that, let them paste her I'm saving my own bollocks" then he's a c**t. One's a conscience decision, the other is pure instinct, that is som

Ok it wasnt a test on getting to places........... ..What they done was tried to see if a dog knew when its owner was coming home...........set up cctv and watched the dogs behaviour. They never knew when there owner was coming home as some folk think they do......just happened to be a coincidence sometimes. Not much difference then I seen a test on when cheese melts, f**k all to do with that either the dog I'm talking about jumps in, permission I'm talking about is 45 mins away. He stands for first 10 mins till I get fed up of him panting in my ear lays down and gets back up just before

I'm sure I went to Wells as a kid on a caravan holiday. Is there a beach with a feck off big island within swimming distance? Sort of. But you could walk to the island as well. As a youngster and amateur explorer, as all young boys are, it fascinated me! LOL. I'm sure it's nothing like as grand as what I remember through my 10 year old eyes.

Yeah bit before my time.

Never turned up at home, but can easily f**k off on a hunt and always find her way back, even on unfamiliar ground. A few times I've thought I'd find her dead but fortunately not. Lurchers are like boomerangs!

Nobody is joking about the lads that died or fell ill. Not sure what harm a few ex squaddies having a crack about their service is doing? It's sort of the British way I thought. time and a place......... Yeah and this is a fine time and place. Never had a crack about old work stories at a wake L1? I'm quite sure this is nothing like a wake and just a few chaps on the net discussing recent events, passing their respects and having a crack. Nobody victimised or made fun of to my reckoning. I know you have a close mate that gave his life in service but no way has anybody dissrespect

i thought the Lord Kitchener in Brize Norton village was were the Faggots hung out i remember now, there were 3 pubs Beehive = old farts, Eagle = squadies & rock-apes, Osprey = lobotomized yokels & underage tarts You spent a lot of time in the Osprey then Paul? Amused me when I heard the RAF Regt. called rock apes, thought it was some hard core WWII name they had earnt..................... pissed myself when I found out the real reason!

surely part of the selection would envolve self preservation and the buddy check system, dehydration is a killer and is basic stuff that a soldier would understand and know how to deal with it. You would think so, but then these lads were in the later stages of selection, judgement was probably impaired by the shear will to succeed. Death or glory sorta attitude. Walshie is right though, Afghanistan would be a fair bit hotter! I know it sounds harsh but it reminds me of that SAS chap that used to do that civilian selection programme on tv, he said something like "death is god

They were on selection for the TA SAS. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-23311651 I did wonder why the f**k they didn't just stop and knock up some impromptu shelter when they felt heat stroke coming on. I guess they were quite determined to pass selection.

He looks like an extremist Leprechaun! I'd be in bits if he tried to lecture me on my infidel ways.

I'm gonna go against the grain here. When you're a teenager you dont know what you want and taking on any livestock can be too much of a commitment at such a young age. Ferrets aren't too bad because they can be rehomed a bit easier than a dog but still a commitment for someone still figuring out what they want or even whether they are gonna stick to this hunting lark. I'd suggest going out and getting an air rifle and blag a bit of permission and start from there. No commitment with a rifle so if in a year or two ya lost the bug or want a break it just sits under the bed untill you want to ag

Tbh I was more interested in what he had to say about his own future. Just thought I'd stick it up here anyway.

Fooking EXCELLENT! The more the merrier I say. What nationalities are we talking? Can we encourage the ones with decent quisine to open up a few more takeaways with a few million £££ in grants?
