i would n't mind donating, £5 is reasonable,i'd pay more if the site was secure and guaranteed against anti invasion!As I see it now there have been too many problems with this forum ,that's why i post so little but read much more,i notice a good few members have already left(i am considering leaving myself!),i am particularly concerned with recent posts regarding the PM'S of members and the integrity of those members messages and i feel the owners of the site are only concentrating on the membership figures in order to create the biggest hunting forum in the world,but i fear that it's succes

Does anyone remember Thomas Mcphee in Caithness Scotland and the articles of his lamping exploits in SHOOTING NEWS,he used to regularly catch 'large' numbers with a whippet or whippetx lurcher i think she was named Ruby?I can't remember the exact figures,but it certainly sparked a 'Klondyke' pilgrimage to his region because of the sheer numbers of rabbits that abounded,i believe Plummer moved up there for that reason plus it was isolated!

these advisory rules,are they coming from the same DEFRA that could not keep the recent outbreaks of cattle disease spreading in Surrey and were actually the cause of it?If i remember reading the outbreaks actually occured from their premises,i see it's all been swept under the carpet now then?

Can someone explain to me the difference between optical and digital zoom. I've been out with a freelance photographer for work(around the time i got my old phone, so i was all camera techno keen:D) and asked her what the difference was, she mumbled n jumbled but she didn't have an igloo. Some professional she was lol optical is where the lense dose the zoom and digital is where the camera itself dose it like zooming in on a pic on your comp, quality is not as good. I think you would need to balance out how much it costs because a cheap camera is better to stomach when you lose it t

in the paper today..... here's the story; Man in court for DIY tail-docking Adam Derbyshire February 05, 2009 A MAN used a Stanley knife and a bottle of antiseptic to dock the tails of five Jack Russell puppies at his home in Ashton. Simon Kenyon, 25, illegally hacked off the tails of the pups, who were only a few days old, in a botched DIY operation on the kitchen table. But the unemployed labourer butchered two of the dogs by mistakenly slicing through the vertebrae, which left the bone exposed, a court heard. Kenyon, of Hartshead Avenue, Ashton claimed he had

A Para dies and goes to Hell to re-group. When he gets there, Old Nick tells him to sod off up to Heaven; "I've got enough of your sort down here already" he tells him. The Para arrives at the Pearly Gates & St Peter welcomes him in. "I'm not coming in there if there's any bloody Marines in the place. I hate Marines." St Peter says, "Oh, don't worry, no Marines here, they're all down below in Hell." Satisfied, the Para enters Heaven. A few weeks later, he's wandering about, exploring a bit, when he sees a throng of angels around a figure wearing a green beret. He turns on his hee

Once upon a time a powerful Emperor of the Rising Sun advertised for a new Chief Samurai. After a year, only three applied for the job: a Japanese, a Chinese and a Jewish Samurai. "Demonstrate your skills!" commanded the Emperor. The Japanese samurai stepped forward, opened a tiny box and released a fly. He drew his samurai sword and * Swish! * the fly fell to the floor, neatly divided in two! "What a feat!" said the Emperor. "Number two samurai, show me what you can do." The Chinese samurai smiled confidently, stepped forward and opened a tiny box, releasing a fly. He drew his sam

An elephant is drinking out of a river when he spots a turtle asleep on a log. The elephant ambles over and kicks the unsuspecting turtle clear across the river. "Why did you do that?" asks a passing giraffe. "Because I recognized it as the same turtle that took a nip out of my trunk 47 years ago." "Wow, what a memory!" says the giraffe. "Yes……" says the elephant, "…….Turtle recall."

This Aussie farmer has just had a good harvest and decides to reward himself with a bit of a holiday. Deciding on New Zealand as his destination, he packs his gear and flies off. Arriving at the airport, he receives his hire car and thinks a little drive in the country would be a good start. So off he goes, climbing through the lush kiwi hills, when all of a sudden he sees this farmer, totally naked (apart from his wellies) in ‘congress’ with a sheep. "Oi Mate!" calls out the Aussie farmer. "Back at home, we shear them!" "P*ss Off" replies the Kiwi. "I'm not shearin' this with anyone!!

A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door. "Hurry!" she said, "Stand in the corner." She quickly rubbed baby oil all over him and then dusted him with talcum powder. "Don't move until I tell you to," she whispered " Just pretend you're a statue." "What's this honey?" the husband inquired as he entered the room. "Oh, it's just a statue," she replied nonchalantly. "The Smiths bought one for their bedroom. I liked it so much, that I got one for us too." No more was said about the statue, not even later that night when they went to sleep. Around two

Mick and Paddy are standing on top of a cliff. Mick has a budgie on his shoulder and Paddy has a parrot on his. Mick jumps off the cliff. Halfway down the budgie flies off and Mick continues to fall until he hits the ground in a crumpled heap. Paddy then jumps off the cliff. Halfway down the parrot flies off but Paddy quickly pulls out a gun and shoots it dead. He then lands in a similar heap beside his friend. Mick looks up and says, "Bejaysus, that budgie jumping isn't any fun". Paddy replies, "I can't recommend the free-fall parrot-shooting either"

The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue. She gives Tam a blank cheque and says, 'I don't care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing.' The woman returns the next day.

An American, an Australian and a Canadian were on a hunting trip together. Round the fire in the evening they have a drink.

The Canadian throws his empty glass in the air, pulls a gun and shoots the American with the bullet, s

A woman went to her doctor for a follow-up visit after the doctor had prescribed testosterone for her. She was a little worried about some of the side effects she was experiencing. ''Doctor, the hormones you've been giving me have really helped, but I'm afraid that you're giving me too much. I've started growing hair in places that I've never grown hair before.'' The doctor reassured her, ''A little hair growth is a perfectly normal side effect of testosterone. Just where has this hair appeared?'' ''On my testicles, which is something else I want to talk to you about...,'' repli

The new postman visits the farm to drop off a parcel. It has to be signed for, so the postie wanders around looking for the farmer. In the paddock he sees a pig with only three legs. A couple of minutes later he finds the farmer. "How come your pig has only three legs?" he asks. "Let me tell you about that pig," says the farmer. "I love that pig! Last week, the barn caught alight. That pig raced in and cleared all the animals out of the barn, rang 999 for the fire brigade, then organised all the farm animals into a line, arranged the filling of buckets with water & had the fire out before
