Ok pipple, this a light hearted one. There have been quite a lot of threads in here about names for dogs. Folk who have dogs and want names for them. Well, I have two great names for dogs, and no dogs to give them to. In Roman mythology the god Mars was the God of War. He had two dogs, called Phobos and Deimos. In "Julius Caesar" Shakespeare has Caesar's spirit say "Cry 'Havoc!.' and let loose the dogs of war". Swift in Gulliver's Travels says that the people of Laputa had identified two moons of Mars. At the time it was thought that Mars had no moons. In 1877 the American astronomer Asaph Hal

Err, I don't know if anyone has noticed, but this guy has been convicted in his absence and is now on the run. When the fuzz catch him - and they will - he will be deported. He is a foreign national who has been convicted of a crime in this country, and as such he is not allowed to stay. He will be put on the "first plane" to his "country of origin". And bloody good riddance. Ric

And cut your tail off and wipe it across your face . . . Hm, praps not . . .

When the 2nd Iraq war started I said that Blair was either a fool or a liar. He's both. Ric Edited to add that when Blair visited Bush they went to church. Just goes to show that premiers who pray together slay together

You get the brush, the cut off tail of the fox, wiped across your face. It's a very old custom, and it's also one of the aspects of riding to hounds that the antis played on. DON'T lick your lips! Ric

As said, you may not get fox at all with rimfire. If you get "opportunistic" fox there is a growing tendency to go for .22WMR. Although the MV is less than HMR the heavier bullet - 40gr as against 17gr - has much better killing power down range. Also, using non-fragmenting bullets means that rabbits stay edible even with a body shot Ric

CZ. Take your pick of which one but a CZ .22 is the way to go! £500 would cover the price of of the gun, decent scope, bipod, mod, every thing you need.

Yeah. Maggy crawled up to Reagan, rolled over on her back and let him scratch her tummy. Then Blair crawled up to Bush, rolled over and . . . .

One point guys. He's a thieving scumbag and a con man. Make sure he hasn't conned someone else into letting him use his place as a drop address. Nail the right guy. Ric

Getting chatted up by a 19 yr old undergraduate lass. Probably won't go any further but nice at the time.

Some guys I know have wives who are real bitches . . . Ric

whats the square route of 356 18.867962264

Or absence thereof.

I thought "anty" meant covered with ants?

So-o-o-. "Put the kettle on" - You know about making tea with 'shrooms? You are clearly a VERY dodgy character. Nice guys like me don't understand stuff like this. It says here.

Can you split the difference? 1-in-10 should stabilise the longer rounds without breaking up the light stuff unless you really push the MV. Ric

What I was gonna say.

I know a shop in Brighton that sells Ayahuashka shrooms. Legally! Loadsa DMT :crazy:

'shroom, I'm doing my bit to help. Just used up my quota red flagging your posts in this thread. I think it's a real shame I can't get your magic relatives anymore. Ric

I asked a doctor, friend of mine, what he thought. Yup, they'll go blind. The ink will seep over the entire eyeball. Take a while but it'll happen and there is SFA they can do about it. The one sin the universe never forgives is stupidity. Ric

No lambs here, mine won't arrive until the end of March. Last Spring when March came it was like a tap got turned on concerning foxes, they just seemed to crawl out of every bush and from behind every wall. The land here is quite poor so most lambing would occur in March/April. Not directly relevant but . . . Na thract ar an mhinisteir Ghallda, Na ar a chreideamh gan bheann, gan bhri, Mar ni'l mar bhuan-chloch da theampuill, Ach magairle Annraoi, Ri. Just been reading Brendan Behann. Again!

Fair point but . . . Perhaps no-one today takes any pride in looking after their own gaff? As ever, it's a lot more complicated than some folk want to admit. Anyway, remember Fisherman's Friends? Or Black Jacks? In fact, how many people on here can remember when you could get 1/- (that's one shilling) per tail for grey squirrels from the council? Thing was, they slung 'em out at the end of the day. Then we'd sneak round the back, steal 'em out the bins, take 'em round the front next day, get another bob apiece. I recollect one tail we sold 6 times. Ponged a bit too much after that.

And there's more! The village where I grew up there was a culvert under the railway. Come up Guy Fawkes me and the lads would lay out serious money, like 5 bob each, on penny bangers. Then it's up to the top of the culvert. Youse guys nowadays can't buy proper bangers. We'd get up the top-end, first man lights a banger. When it starts to fizz, sling it in't water. Then another one, from t'next lad, sling it in't water. And the next, and the next... When they went off they sounded like a Bofors 40mm ack-ack gun on full auto. We could hit 10 rpm no problem. Now there is another story about t
