  1. Loads on the farmland around here, feckin nuisance, they want banning and the people that set them off fining for littering the countryside.
  2. The cost to treat and provide water is unbeliveable. I work in the water industry and it would take a book to tell you about the treatment involved, from removing the colour, taste and bacteria etc to maintaining the infrastructure on catchment areas and reservoirs to piping it to your homes. And no, I don't get a discount on my bill, I pay the same as the next mug! Visit a treatment works if the offer comes up at an open day and you can see for yourselves
  3. As Ferguson said, "They're Just a wee team from the north east".
  4. We had our meet today and had a feckin' great day out on the moor, same meet as you came to Leveller when you was up at my place. We had the grand total of.....five followers out today that did the distance, others drove around the roads for an hour, drank all their coffee then departed by 10am. No cap, no photos, we were on one. We came off at 3pm after a delay while the dragman soaked his rag again. I support all forms of hunting and anyones right to do it. I won't be told what I should do with my life and my time here, I'll do what pleases me and hunting ticks that box, always has! Enjoy it
  5. Pugs And Drummers by Marchington struck a chord with me and it's got a cracking bibliography, Foxhunting On The Lakeland Fells by Clapham got me started on fell hunting and Memoirs Of A Gamekeeper, Elveden1868-1953 is an excellent read on a winters night. The chapter on poaching is an eye opener.
  6. Sorry folks I can't post pics but it's heartwarming to say the least. Borrow a copy if you can
  7. If ever you're feeling a little fed up or life's getting you down, take a look at the photo of the little lad in this months EDRD, page 10. Cheers me up every time and the family too. It would make a crackin' front cover on any christmas card.
  8. This photo has appeared on here before, several years ago
  9. Besides EDRD I get Shooting Times now and then. It's still a very good read and they replace those contributors that have left us with decent guys. Cuntrymans? Pure shite
  10. Reduced to £16 inc postage, bargain
  11. Sport Light Tracer Red filter for sale, 210mm. Not been out of its wrapper so as new condition, £18 inc p&p. Will drop off locally in the north west area within reasonable distance. PM please
  12. DLT, as he liked to be called also favoured being called the Hairy Cornflake when he did the morning show. I'll bet there's a few more shitting it now especially those that did the Radio One Roadshow in their skimpy shorts, gonads hanging out. Dirty feckers
  13. We nearly turned out at the Rochdale meet but headed north for a day on the fell with horizontal snow showers! Dirty feckers
  14. Those Endurance socks are fine. You might want to put a finer pair of socks on, (liners) underneath. But really, the way to go is new, decent boots. I had my Meindle Burma pros on yesterday when out with hounds, we had horizontal snow showers, and walked through boggy ground most of the day and my feet were toastie as feck.
  15. I've a couple of taxidermy items I'm getting rid of for sale....A lovely wall mounted cased Two Barred Crossbill. This was done by Roger Fisher and he's probably the best taxidermist of birds that I've had the pleasure of meeting. Great condition, the bird is on a perch with undergrowth around it with a butterfly at its base. There is a light background sketch of a wood, a feature of Rogers work. £35. I also have a brown/red OEG cockerel. In life this bird won many shows, and I recall asking the owner, "When it falls of its perch can I could have it, I'll have done at the taxidermists?". In f
  16. Poor losers Chelsea, if they'd have won you wouldn't of heard a thing. The club's got related racist history so it's a bit rich what'sbeing claimed, aka Terry and that guy who had a go at Evra 'tother year plus the club at ground level is run by the elder statesmen there, Terry again, Cole etc and one or two of the backroom staff. Soft blue noses, seems like Mikel has been badly advised by the afore mentioned here

    Might be a decent programme but I hate that undershot Jones tw*t!
  18. Sadly the country has gone backwards. We kept ours alight for days and had spuds going on them for tea. Couldn't wait to get there after school. We also collected the burnt out rockets you'd find in fields, happy days
  19. I haven't seen a bonty this year yet and there's only a week or two to go to Bonty night. When I was a nipper we'd be out on our bogies knocking on doors getting wood and even using my old mans axe to chop down the odd tree. Where the feck are they? We even used to throw old three piece suites on...settee last 'cos everyone used to sit on that.
  20. I work for a utility company, outdoors all day, and have the need now and then to get the chainsaw out. Nothing major and it's not my full time job. I've got the basic training plus climbing. I enjoy felling trees when the need arises, but it can be hard work
  21. We're being governed by people who have NEVER felt grass beneath their feet, they're all pen pushers and suits with a loud voice. Why didn't they ask someone who works in the countryside how many badgers there are? Not rely on scientists or "experts" for the same thing. Just carry on with your own business
  22. I've a .22 Hornet for charlie and a rimmy for the bunnies. I've also got a .223 on my ticket but haven't got round to getting one yet.
