Cheers Walshie, thanks for the advice. I take it the best course of action would be for him to apply and just ask his FEO and see what their opinion is. There seems to be a lot of variation depending on where you live in the country when it comes to getting your certificate.

Hi guys, Had my interview today and it went better than I could've hoped so hopefully I'll have my certificate this side of Christmas, which is all good. I was chatting to my brother about it afterwards and he said he was doubtful that he'd be granted one as he works away abroad for 3 months at a time. I said I would imagine that he'd be ok and could, possibly, store any guns he had at an rfd or put them down as shared with either myself or my dad so we could keep them looked after while he was away. I was just wondering if anyone here has any experience of this o

Nice one lads, cheers for the advice/stick in equal measure ?

Ha you know what I meant. I've never even thought about it before to be honest, just always assumed that they made the mounds at night. Why would they only pop up in the gaps in the patio and not anywhere on the lawn though? The only encounter I've had with them is on a football pitch we used to play on and it was covered in mounds so I just thought that there would be a load on the lawn too?

First f all, please excuse the weeds in the patio! It's a rented house and we were on top of them in the spring but it's been a busy summer. Can anyone here help identify these mounds? They have appeared in the last two days in gaps in the patio that the Mrs had planted succulents in to smarten up. First thought was a mole but the huge lawn is untouched and the trouble and strife is positive that one of the mounds appeared between lunch time and 3pm today, I had always assumed that moles were nocturnal? Could it be rats? I haven't got te first clue about this so I look forward to being

They were honey bees, local bee keeper has taken them. Apparently he was quite impressed that they were a wild swarm.

As the title says, we had a large oak bough come down in the storm last night and the resident bumbles have now taken up refuge in the garden. Let me know if anyone knows someone that is interested, in the mean time I'll keep looking on goole lol Cheers GaZ

I believe in God and Jesus. It took me a long time to reconcile my faith with some sort of scientific basis but after reading a series of books by a bloke called Lee stroble that looks a the evidence for Christ, faith, a creator etc from a criminal investigator point of view I can happily say I believe. I don't go to church and I don't discuss my faith with people unless I'm asked directly because as far as i am concerned it's between me and the big man upstairs. Interestingly both my brothers are 100% atheist and think you must be nuts to believe in any God.

Cheers for the info guys

Do you only burn wood or do you burn coal as well?

Does anyone have any tips for using a multifuel burner to heat a house and provide hot water? We have applied to rent a house with one but I've only ever lived in a house where the wood burner was a nice option to have. The house has an emersion heater for if we need hot water at short notice and the shower is electric so I'm not overly concerned about reliance on the burner, I just assumed the fine folk of THL would have some sage advice. Cheers, GaZ

Yeah there are a few platforms being commissioned at the minute. You can do specific offshore apprenticeships or you could do what I did and get a relevant trade/apprenticeship and experience onshore, then worry about trying to get offshore once the price of a barrel of oil rises back above the cost of a KFC family bucket. I'd look at national grid, power stations and petrochemical apprenticeships if I were you. GaZ

Not doing too bad ta Rake, I've just left a 2/3 job to go 2/2 commissioning so we'll see how it goes lol. You gone 3/3?

A friend's wife looked into getting a tumble tots franchise and it's over £20k start up costs! Then there was an annual fee and the soft play equipment was charged extra on hp. I'm assuming there cheaper ways of going down that route though. GaZ

I've heard some stories about the cost of commercial fishing licenses, especially from my mates in Peterhead. Silly money. GaZ

That's the decent thing about my job at the minute blackmaggie, I work a rotation so I get plenty of time at home to start something informally and hopefully build it up over the next few years to a point where I can jack my job in. GaZ

I like the idea of landscape gardening or doing something creative, I work in oil and gas so I'd have to retrain for whatever I went for really as it's a pretty specific trade. It would be nice to have something physical to show for my efforts as opposed to just keeping motors and pumps running if that makes sense. It's only day dreaming at the minute as I'm a way off being in a position to take the plunge even if I did know what I wanted to go into. GaZ

Been thinking recently that I'd like to start my own business and work for myself so I've been trying to come up with business ideas with the idea of getting set up to start in 3 years or so but other than it being something outdoors I don't really know what I'd like to do. So if you could start up a business what would you/did you do? It'd have to pay the mortgage so full time man whore probably won't cut it! GaZ

Did a London to Paris ride but almost feel bad about it now. Charity events seem to have become "oi you lot, pay for me to skydive/row the Amazon/shag my mates Mrs/ anything else I want to do, in the name of charity". Cynical I know... GaZ

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone can provide any info on what the going rate for half a lamb is? It's something I was going to look in to anyway but one has come up in a silent auction near me so I was thinking of throwing a bid in. The description says the normal value is £85 but my mate says that's extortionate and should be about half that. I thought it seemed a fair price? I'll be picking up a chest freezer soon so would like to find out if this is a good way to bring the food bill down over the long term. I'm in Somerset if that makes any difference. Thanks GaZ

I have a couple of pairs of the Peacekeepers and can't rate them highly enough. Got them from my old job and between them they have done 12hr days over the last five years and are so good I took them with me when I left the company. I wear a size 11 trainer and my boots are also 11's but as above, its best to try them on. GaZ
