That's great to hear. Wish we had boar in the midlands. Keep it up.

What firearms do you use Tusker? Standing rifles or shotguns? I would imagine it would be difficult to do exactly as the Europeans do with running shots with big bore rifles. If you got it all going professionally I imagine you would get a fair few folks interested.
-
Would that be because the armed forces belong to the crown, servicemen/women swear allegiance to the crown, and the crown is still head of state in most commonwealth countries etc? But interestingly it appears the irish can join, despite not being in the commonwealth. and obviously the Nepalese....
-
Oh right okay, gotcha now. The Scot's are certainly a valued part of the British forces, 75% of the SAS are/were Scottish, I think that speaks volumes.
-
Hang on, now I'm no expert but do the other Commonwealth nations not have their own Forces? The Royal Navy is the naval branch of the British armed forces is it not? Not the naval branch of the Commonwealth. So surely if Scotland left the UK they would need their own forces? Because the current British Army, Navy, RM and RAF belong the UK not the Commonwealth?
-
I would imagine that it would perhaps follow a similar line to the Gurkhas. It shouldn't happen but if it did I would think it would be something like that. Maybe a free Scotland would put a stop to that though to cut all military ties with the remainder of UK? Be a f*****g sad day.
-
There's no chance of them going off by accident Scot, I think the worry is that if we entered into a conflict with a serious enemy our sub base would be a major target with them being such an effective weapons system. But feck it, that's hardly a major risk and the benefit of being part of the British Forces outweighs that i would have thought. Those subs/bases have the worlds finest guarding them.

Tend to avoid them whenever possible. You learn pretty fast as a kid to read their body language, lol. They have a nasty habit of leaving a calf tucked up in long grass near a hedge which you can't see untill the mother goes ape shit! My lurcher hates them, I'll try to stay away from them but when you get one that just wants some I don't mind my bitch driving it off.

Most of the Galvo pen sections use tubular bar, so not that secure really. Also usually only a 10mm bolt as the hinge for the latch which could easily be knocked off with a hammer. They're spot on for keeping dogs in but not so great for keeping diddys out. There's one company I can think of that make solid bar but their charges reflect this! I think a lot use bar to stop dogs getting their legs trapped in mesh and stops climbing if you have one of those clever little feckers that can climb mesh.
-
I think England is well enough represented. lol. I have a suspision that Gnash's competative spirit will secure an English win. Besides I did'nt really have anything to do with Craigy, I'd feel a bit dissrespectful getting involved with something that isn't really close to my heart like the rest of you if that makes sense. Not that I dissliked him of course, just never had much to do with him so didn't feel the same loss the rest of you have. Trying not to come across cold but being honest. I'll be up to Fort William again next year though. Give The Ben a proper crack.
-
So you're not embracing a 36hr a week training regime and clean living then Scot? Where's your commitment man!?
-
Actually it's not, lol, but to the laymen the terms are used interchangeably. Density is the term you are looking for. Muscle is more dense than fat............. I'm not sure what the f**k that has to do with anything though. The lad wants to bulk up, so eat clean and regularly, train hard, gain lean muscle and inevatably fat and then cut it, which is what every f****r is saying anyway. Like Gnasher says, join a gym or at least a buy a decent bit of literature.

"A six pack on a skinny guy is like big boobs on a fat chick.............. nobody wants to see em"
-
Name one person that is thin and wants to be fat? lol
-
It's not the 10 miles that's the bitch but the 4'000ft ascent and 4'000ft descent, lol. Follow the paths I think is most people's advice, any other way and you're gonna end up airlifted off, lol. Oh and aim to get it all done before 8-9am. The paths are like a f*****g motorway after then!
-
I didn't do it in 3.5 hrs Gnash mate, sorry if I misslead you. We (our little team) did it in a few minutes over 5 hours (up and down), but I'm sure I could do it in 4 with no special training if on my own, so 3 and 1/2 for someone that has done a bit of serious training seems very realistic. The bloke that owned the hostel we stayed in did it in 2 hours, a smoker with cancer in his 50s!!!! Like I said, I was strong going up, the other lads could'nt keep the pace so I would get out of sight then wait for them, this happened quite regular and I was waiting for 10-20 minutes at a time. Then

They reckon between 3 and a half to 5 hours for average walkers........................im hoping for somewhere around 2 and a half ............as long as i get their first i dont care how long it takes.............bit childish a running race.....but a bets a bet 3 and 1/2 to 5 just to the top or up and down? If you are fit and training for it you should be up and down in 3 1/2 I would have thought. I climbed it about 6 weeks ago. Then drove to Scarfell, climbed that and then gave another lad the drive to Wales. 20 mins into the drive to Snowdon my body bailed on me and I was travel si

For the price they are, buy half a dozen and stash spares in ya motor, bag etc. Not strictly necessary when on ya own but I always like to have one.

You're absolutely right............ but that's not what he said.

Reminds me of the two burglers that broke into Duncan Ferguson's home...... He hospitalised one of them! LOL -
No it is not all doom and gloom. It is not illegal to go lamping for rabbits or to take them in daylight. It is illegal to run a hare with more than one dog and to take them at night. Whoever has started this thread is not giving ALL the relevent information. If stopped, write down the collar numbers of each police officer and make notes of what exactly is happening, with times. They cannot prevent you from doing this unless they arrest you - for which you would need to have committed a cime, not just be suspected of it. At the end of the matter, the police are responsibl for the condition

Look forward to getting my hands on it. Already got another of yours I've seen that I'm itching for! LOL. Something a bit more 'normal'. You'll be needing to take on an apprentice before long! -
Stop trying to drum up photography bussiness! Lovely pup, be nice to see him grow. Not a common cross to see develop.

Is this site your only advertising Matt? Good business is all about good advertising, your products speak for themselves! I would consider contacting the sporting mags and get something set up? Maybe even a double page article on what you do and showing off what you can produce?
