  1. it had a mole on the advert, did it show any footage of moles? I'm guessing from the comments it didnt......I refuse to watch any of those types of programs as my blood pressure cant take it.
  2. ....but still use some common sense, some people are passionate about hares and the good sport the can give, couple this with the fact that in some areas hares are few and far between or get a hard time and wireing them for a bit of a thrill gets peoples backs up. If they are in good numbers and its needed pest control then knock yourself out but no need to rub it in peoples faces to wind fellow sportsmen up.....we have enough enemies as it is.
  3. iv got a locator and collar for a swop/part x let me know postage and we can sort something or cash waiting
  4. Ok with bullfighting what you see is what you get.....a trapped bull, a 'ponce' matador blah blah blah Pheasant shooting? serves a purpose? guns line up and shoot pheasants which are so tame iv seen beaters pick them up and throw them in the air.....and the things iv seen behind the scenes on partridge shoots....... yes there are positive spin offs such as the economical benefits just as there are with the corrida but at the end of the day its done for pure enjoyment...... is that what you want? shall we discuss the bad points, sometimes very common bad points of various passtimes on a
  5. I'll have a duster pal. Wheres northwood?
  6. I couldnt translate it into jock language sorry. ya ken
  7. You seriously can't be comparing bullfighting with fox hunting, are you? Ones a wild pest, hunted in its natural environment given fair law. The others a trapped animal, horns filed, getting slowly killed by an egotistical fanny surrounded by morons baying for its blood. No comparison. It's a sick form of entertainment, nothing more. No i'm not comparing the 2 in any way i'm comparing people who rage against it with no knowledge or experience. Just like with foxhunting or indeed people who eat 6 week old electrocuted chickens in fast food shops I dont need nor want to defend myself to pe
  8. TOMO it was banned it Catalonia but that had been on the cards for years, even Hemmingway said it was out of place there 70 years ago. I wouldnt have seen a corrida in catalonia anyway just like I wouldnt go in one of their plastic flamenco bars.
  9. The bullfights were my passion for many years and I hope one day to go back to spain to follow the bulls again (after the babys a bit older) I'm not going to go into it here as I would end up feeling the same as arguing about fox hunting with an anti, frustrated, if you enjoy it no reason is necessary if you dont 'get' it no explanation is possible. One thing I will say, its not a sport and you would never hear anyone who loves the bulls describe it as such. In spain its protected as part of the nations culture and heritage, they have done better at protecting their culture than we have he
  10. There are many times I could take a lad or a bloke on for a week or so but it just isnt worth the hassle. They dont make it easy to employ casual workers.
  11. no use the yolk, mix with cream of one young boy and a touch of nutmeg, just like a boilie, and before you ask a boilie is what you get on the end of your nosey.
  12. id just buy an air pistol and get some proper sport while waiting for those fat tame carp to set your alarm off and wake you up
  13. feck me just ask a local. we live a thousand mile away, no one here uses 'dough balls' in the sea.
  14. I soak mine in the pisss of a virgin from wigan. its the only way, an old keeper told me and they always know
  15. try using fishnnet stockings instead of tights.
  16. does anybody not have at least 1 pigeon decoy that has not been shot, to be fair most of the holes in mine came from when I first started and decoyed with an air rifle, there is some thing wrong with you if you can resist wholloping the odd! especially when its a mates new expensive flocked decoy!

    Man Hoards!!

    My dad hoarded stuff. I remember telling him I was going to use a pile of his timber to make a new gate as his old one was rotten, he said no as the timber was to good to 'waste'. Two years later we buried him and the day after I burnt the gate and the pile of timber which had since rotten away. You cant take the stuff with you! There is nothing worse than a box of mixed bolts, nails or screws. Trying to do a job with mixed sizes. Just bin the lot and if you want something go on ebay and get it for a few quid, and thats coming from me and i'm as tight as cramp!!!!!
  18. I'm not saying your wrong, just in my experience of (very limited experience admittedly) of pest control mark ups iv seen very little evidence of keen competition and reckon all the main suppliers are in it together! both on chemical preparations and equipment. Certain insecticides that would cost well over £100 in the uk plus vat and delivery are available abroad for less than £20, maybe the market is a bit more competitive there! I recently wanted a pair of telescopic ladders, killgerm were the best part of £200 yet I got the same pair from another source for less than £50. Same with
  19. I'm guessing you have just got that book about Lancashire hunting songs! lol I like the poem about Holinshead hall, the young lad read it so I took him up to see the hall the day after.
  20. What do you mean by 'low mark up on some pest control preparations' ? like what?
  21. look at all the top 3 suppliers and they are all a few quid apart on everything, price fixed to feck.
  22. Just rehome the whole thing to a local organic farm.
  23. your right there mate I believe a special version of that one was made with pennine hounds as a present for AR of the pennine.
