  1. Ice shooting

    She’d been at them all day, then refused when asked several times to cooperate. When she drove at the officer he shot her. Why didn’t she just get out of the vehicle?

    Won't be long and you'll wonder how you had time for work...

    I’ll be beating three days a week during the season and helping out in between with pest control, stalking throughout the year and out at night shooting, I hunt, I’ll be doing bird surveys in spring, I spend a lot of time walking on the fells, I’ve three kids and six grand kids to help out. I intend visiting a few auctions next year and a great friend has invited me up to Orkney anytime I like to stay on his farm, so lots to look forward to 👍🏻

  10. Who plays guitar etc

    Played the drums in a group in the seventies, self taught from an early age and could just pick up where I left off. Toying with getting another kit once I retire. Had to sell my original kit years ago to make Christmas happen for us during harder times

    Lads, I’m picking up a Peugeot Partner Tepee this week, a kind of early retirement present for myself (I’ve flogged my shares), and rather than scroll through every page here looking, has anyone got or had one and used it for sleeping in? I’m hoping to be doing some travelling around and using the car to sleep in when I finally retire in a few months time so any tips/help in gear etc will be gratefully received, thanks C

    BBC should have wiped it before he got going but as ever they let it go and the damage is done and his notoriety made. Glastonbury…my idea of hell but each to their own. Heard that pri%k Dom Jolly this morning saying he won’t be watching Rod Stewart later because he’s a “Reformer”! It’s a music festival ya fat Cnut 👊🏻

    Would love to see that mate. Must be one of the marvels of nature how a cuckoo can lay an egg in another birds nest and the single egg is similar in colour to the eggs of the host birds nest. 

    And size. The cuckoo is a large bird but it’s egg in comparison is tiny, otherwise the host bird couldn’t brood it

    Often wondered how many species of birds the cuckoo will lay an egg in their nests. I know when we were kids bird nesting when finding a dunnocks nest or a reed warbler always hoped they would be a cuckoo's egg in the nest but we never found one. 

    Hi tabs, they’lll lay in a few. You’ll get Robin/cuckoos,  Dunnock/CC, Reed Warbler/CC  pied wagtail/CC pipit/CC etc and these will specialise in only one species. They may be others that drop an egg anywhere in the above birds nests. I think 50 odd birds have been recorded as being parasitised, but only a few are used regularly, as above. …insect feeders and eaters

  21. Coffee mate?

    in General Talk

    Posted

    I don’t know if many on here have the coffee bug but I buy one when I’m out and about, sometimes on the way out shooting or hunting. It all started off at about £1.50 a cup a couple of years ago but on Friday, I was charged £4 for a mediocre Americano from a place I’ve used many times. No more, that’s it for me, I’ve found a guy who runs a greasy spoon and does a Nescafé for £1.50 ☕️ Can anyone beat that?

  25. No fuucking around on this topic

    I’ve learnt to manage it. If you think about it too much, too deeply, you’ll go downhill. I remember loved ones at the right time for me and think “there but for the grace of god…” I’m still here, I can’t do anything about what happened to them but I can bring them to life briefly by remembering good times and that helps. Look around you, everyone is carrying thoughts like this, but we have to keep moving forward. Get on with your life, lead it the best way you can and go out with no regrets 👍🏻 Good luck mush
