Ridgeline Monsoon jacket v Shooterking Venatu
Born Hunter replied to Stone14's topic in General Talk
And I’ve got to be honest. How tough the fabric is and how tough the lining is are two different things. Not sure I’d read too much into that promo video. -
Ridgeline Monsoon jacket v Shooterking Venatu
Born Hunter replied to Stone14's topic in General Talk
Well I’ve just come back from beating today and I was wearing a musto gamekeeper that cost 150 and has their BR2 lining. It pissed it down and I’m dry. Early days yet. Last season I had a Swazi. But one of my c**t face mongrels ate it a few weeks ago. Prefer the musto tbh. -
It did. My mates missus cooked up a plate for us to share but he didn’t reckon they were crispy enough. I smashed them! So she cooks up another straight away with better batter. Not sure he really reckoned much to them either so I smashed them too, LOL. Honestly were delicious! I wish I had filled a bucket with them.

Between four of us fishing we reckon we had around 150. Ten on the bounce. That’s not fishing with feathers either, just single lure. Glad when one would bump itself off by the end.
-
I love little missions like this. Hopefully a season full of them yet.
-
I think the codling (?), one of about half a dozen, was washed up by-catch. But the sprats were pretty much like this all along chesil for the whole week I believe. Certainly like it at Portland end and west bay end so I assume the same in between.
-
Cheers for the tip. I don't know f**k all about fishing really, but I would imagine literal tons of dead fish washing about over the past week probably left everything fairly full. Is that a thing like? The Beach stunk of dead and I was even snagging half rotten lumps of fish. That said, one fella at least caught a bass, but that was the morning we were on the mackerel... Yeah Chesil.

I think it's the Omega3-Omega 6 ratio. In factory farmed rapid grown stuff they have an imbalance, naturally grown birds have a balance which better suits us.

I used to live very close to there, as you might remember. Went once, nice set-up but the lamb didn't taste any better than Morrisons so never went back. Take a dog and go for a walk around the forest down the lane. I've possibly spent hundreds of hours in there. You can do a decent 4 mile loop from the farm shop.

Truth is, I'm not particularly adventurous, it doesn't take a lot to settle me but takes a lot to move me if you get me. Where I live now I feel very settled and my trips away are a nice break. I think if I was a bit more 'normal' and inclined to live in different places like a lot of folk seem to do these days I'd certainly have moved by now, it's perfect down there. But truth be told I'd probably have gone to NZ, the US or even Africa. In another life maybe... Maybe one day, if it feels like the right time I'll move down there. Even career wise it'd be a good move.

I reckon a Macnab down here would be a Sika stag or Fallow Buck, a legal Bass and a brace of Woodcock. One for November.....
-
Would've been if I had managed a bass too.
-
I think I ate my body weight in whitebait and got cold roast mackerel for sarnies for the week Dogs are eating well on the fatty trimming and ribs from that sorrel too.

Me and a mate had planned a beach camp/fishing weekend but he cried off so I thought f**k it I’m going anyway. Grabbed the rifle, rod and pup and headed south to my adoptive county and home of another very good mate and his family. The mackerel were well and truly ‘in’. The water was fizzing with them and bait fish, the bait fish lining the shingle for miles! I had an evening and morning stalking too. A lot of rutting with grunts resonating through the downs. Took a sorrel (probably) that evening and then got on something a bit bigger in the morning. Nothin

f***ing hell, this covid vaccine stuff is news to me..... Someone should start a dedicated thread for it so we can discuss it in depth!

"And the Left equalise after an early shooting from the Right with a late stabbing" But seriously, be curious to compare the tone of the responses from across the board tbh. Murder of Jo Cox - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

f**k him, but truth be told f**k us, because that'll be what happens after stuff like this. It's true enough that hardly anyone will give this any notice but a few more will be swayed against us and not one will be turned in favour.
-
I’ll send you a daily box full of these! f***ing things Nah fair play. Be an educational little project for the family.
-
I get that mate. My mate wouldn’t bother with roe for the same reason. I suppose I meant they seem to have a reputation as being vermin and get hammered for it. I’ve never had access to an area where they are anything other than scarce.
-
Dunno the degree of damage tbh so can’t say. Couldve been an adversary's sub. The other side wouldn’t admit it so we’d never really find out.
-
Full disclosure, I do genuinely believe you have lost your usual rational sense on this one thread, lol, however I do also agree with you that civil disobedience as a tactic can work. “Any publicity is good publicity” right. But 14M from KCL is nothing really, just virtue signalling.

Triple agent!? Next level!

I'm currently writing one discrediting his theory. Title "The THL case study - Well done Roger, everyone but Wilf is now opposed to you". Unless he's really a double agent, working FOR the Big Oil...

There's a lot going on in the SCS right now and subs will be very active. The UK CSG have entered it on the return leg of their first deployment and joined up with two US carriers and a Jap carrier with escorts from other nations getting involved. The chinks and the Russians will almost certainly have subs and other intelligence assets in the area trying to soak up as much sensor data of the allies as possible. Might even be playing some cat and mouse games to test each other out. But truth be told, it was probably just an AWOL shipping container they're like f***ing ice bergs.

It happens from time to time. One of our V boats hit a French boat a while back. Pretty sure one of the Astutes sunk a trawler at some point too, caught the net and pulled it under. Could've been anything. Generally speaking sub ops are treated like SF ops and not commented on.
