Mine does me nicely

Best thing to happen to me. Enjoy it Malt, it's a wonderful thing?

Good shooting. The bunkers and golf balls will be safe now

Gardeners world on telly interests you. And when sex lasts about an hour?

That's disgraceful and dangerous. Those cartons on the corner of the isle need stacking on a shelf. Someone could get killed if they walked into them!?

I'm on my lads stag do in summer. On a Friday we're doing the train pub run up from Stalybridge to Batley. Then God knows!

You like your water effects don't you Rob? It would have looked nice about to pounce on a mouse in a light snowy scene. ?

Don't forget to leave some set aside for the birds and insects. Oh, and a high seat for watching ??

It comes to most fellas as they age. Bit of a mither at first but that's life. I get up once or twice these days. Don't have a drink to near to your bedtime, that should help.

You never see an advert like that about other animals, only badgers!

Ratting With Ferrets N Terriers
cragman replied to ruggers13's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Ruggers, the ferrets I used were bred for ratting and used now and then for rabbiting but they were far too quick and fired up for it. I don't suppose an easy day on the coneys will do them harm, in fact I'd say they would be OK. Hobs will fit anywhere and once a rat knows what's coming they'll be out of it quickly. -
Ratting With Ferrets N Terriers
cragman replied to ruggers13's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Ferreting rats is a job ONLY for the experienced ferret and be warned, your pug will pick up injuries, maybe fatal ones. Be prepared to treat them immediately or your ferret will fail quickly. I used to ferret rats years ago and it's a brutal and hard way of life for the ferret. I lost a couple through injuries and in the end I came away from using them for ratting. Jill's become hardened and are useless at rabbiting, as they become so adept and quick, they more than often killed below and to handle were not always agreeable. I started using hobs to shift rats and they were more suited to it -
I've got a ruger .22 hornet. Nice rifle, shoots well. I'm after selling it to try a .17 now I have my license back with a ticket for one

I used to just dig a trough right through the hillside, following the tube so to speak. I remember catching some Gudgeon in the canal late 60s and taking them home and putting them in the bath. Dad soon shifted them when he came home from work. Record player out, shave, bath and he was out for a pint. Next day he would drop us near congleton in the morning where we'd nest or fish then pick us up in the afternoon on his way home.

A place I hunt on now brings back memories. I was in the barn climbing up to a swallows nest (68/69) when the old farmer came in and grabbed hold of me and a friend. He shouted at us then locked us in the barn opposite, saying he was going to phone the police. I was very skinny in those days and we both managed to squeeze through a small window hole in the wall. The old timer had filled our wellies, (which he had removed from us and left outside the barn), with cow shit just to slow us down. In turn we catapulted all his windows at the farm a week later. He died not long after and now his son

I used to walk the river hunting rats with a menagerie of different breed of dogs and a couple of mates. After four miles we'd cross and do the other side back to home. I also used to hunt on a animal by products works (my dad worked there) and dug my first fox there in the early 70s to a short legged JRT, Buster was his name. Bought an air rifle in '74 from the local sports shop and walked through town with it to the canal to shoot maggies. Afterwards I got on the bus home with it. No cover or bag. Nobody batted an eyelid. None of my old mates hunt now.?

Yes, got one hanging in the shed
-
No, each use their own methods but ten days will do the job just as good. I've a shed full that are years old
-
I leave mine in ten days, never had a problem

Work for a utilities company, out on the moor or patch every day. Part of my job has me liasing with keepers, tenant farmers and many others. Great job, very rewarding and pick up loads of permission. If you like the great outdoors and walking in all weathers, my job will suit. Just advertised a position this week working with me and in my area.

I had a shotgun over my shoulder last week for a couple of miles and boy, was it handy. I'd borrowed the keepers when he had to get back from an earth we were looking at. Came in handy having that sling on and walking the two miles back.
-
Ken, that looks like you've been picking and chewing at it. I have had one the same and it's only there because I picked at a some loose/chipped nail. The wavy looking nail is regrowth. Leave it alone and the nail will grow back to how it was originally.

I'm sure the Everton goalie, Tim Howard, has something similar
-
They're laughing at themselves in some of the clips so I'd say no offence would be taken if you joined in on this particilar one. Hilarious. "Arthur Daly" and "There's oil on the road"?

BOOM!?
