    So NOBODY else is making "money",  from moling "courses" & "selling useless bits of tat",...or actually equipment ? (like your friend Paul ? ?,..incidentally a purchased some different traps from him, before, to see what all the fuss, was about, etc ),....

    No i don’t think they are

    The only person I see insisting people buy two dibbers and a paint roller on his courses is jeff

     the only person I see teaching people to place heavy turf in top of barrels springs is jeff

    The only person refusing to give lantra accreditation unless they leave a positive review is jeff

    the only person seeking to ban all traps but his own is Jeff 

    i refer you to my earlier comment about not understanding what is being said

    I have zero interest in engaging further with you

    its crystal clear you’re a fuckwit who doesn’t understand what is being said

    jeff makes his money from courses and selling people useless bits of tat on these courses and refuses to sign people off until they leave him a positive review 

    he doesn’t let people actually trap in his courses and teaches people to put a trap in them place the turf back on top of the trap

    Yourself aside everyone hates the guy because he is a loose cannoN who doesn’t understand the implication of his actions

    Well, you really took the  "BAIT" again, pal !! ??,.....& let me ask you straight,....are YOU Paul Stanford ???,....& the next question is,......am I gonna let you 'trigger' me again, here,????,....nah, I'm not gonna repeat myself all over again, (just like you have, here ?),......apart from reiterating, the fact that , I'm independent,....always have been,...& never been interested in membership, of any of the so called 'mole catching organisations' ! ,....& am 'too long in the tooth now' ,...to give a f..k, about being part of any ' molecatchers in group, etc' ?....you can also say what you want, about Jeff,...but he was the first,.... & they all copied,  & half of them charlatans anyway, in my book,.....Too f....n MANY, organisations & GROUPS, doing  "MORE HARM THAN GOOD", now,...& Jeff's videos are available ??,....so put your hand in your pocket, maybe ? ?

    ?????it would be lovely if you actually engaged in the same conversations people have instead of skirting around them 

    I’ve watched Jefferson videos and show at a country fair I’ve read two of his books and if you consider him in any way knowledgeable you’re a bigger fool than I thought 

    im not Paul Stanford although I consider him a friend these days ,not sure of the relevance here

    And  any time you’d like to actually support anything you’re saying we are all ears

    i wonder if you’re Jeff Nichols or kev

    hard to care regardless

    "as for pest stops they are a damn good trap" ,....& as far as am aware,..'Pest Stop' is  STILL a slightly modified version of the Duffus/ half barrel, trap,......& would you know who's responsible for these improvements  ? ?

    Yes I do

    and your point is ?

    my point was for the money it’s a good trap

    it catches well and has far better killing power than similar traps sold at higher prices

    as for Jeff he has done more f***ing harm than good for molecatchers

    you once told me we aren’t fit to lace his boots

    thats your opinion not mine

    quite frankly he’s an arrogant c**t who refuses to support his position whilst working against us in the background

    I asked him repeatedly to see the dvd he produced and he made excuse after excuse and in the end stopped replying to me

    he doesn’t speak for the vast majority of molecatchers yet has elected himself as our spokesman

    When I spoke to Martin who runs the guild he said pretty much the same thing

    the guild sell their own trap the talpa which is a pest stop with talpa stamped on it

    but even pest stop disassociated themselves from Jeff when it became apparent just what a loose cannon he is

    no doubt you still worship the guy but you are very much in the minority in the mole catching world

    No, the ones I had a look at were Pest Stop. Also Defenders are not up to much IMO. The worst was an unbranded trap sold by an Ipswich based ebay seller that could not be set. The things I look for are strength of the wires. If you can bend them by hand I'm not interested.

    The company that distributed French made Putanges has closed. I don't know where you could get them from now. The Lucifer brand that used to be good are Chinese crap now, as are most sold in France. I got a batch from a farm suppliers to try, but they didn't last two months. I mainly use stainless Putanges as they last a lot longer, but my supplier is having difficulties getting stock. There are some stainless Putange traps advertised on ebay, however they don't look like stainless traps to my eye, but possibly worth a try.

    I haven't spoken to my brother in law for a while now so don't know his situation. He might have some stocks of Putanges left. He goes by ian portman on ebay. 

    P.s. don't bother with the hand set traps.

    The company that distributes french Putanges hasn’t closed as far as I’m aware

    theres A new website coming

    as for pest stops they are a damn good trap

    for the money they cannot be beaten

    and if you’re constantly having traps stolen or lost  two quid versus 6  it’s a no brainer

    i have heard nothing but complaints about flat pack for the last few years

    the metal has become a cheaper and cheaper grade

    blokes I know who used to buy three hundred a year refuse to touch them now

    The whole thing is a con. Britain is responsible for 1.1% of global emissions, if we went carbon neutral tomorrow we would make fck all difference. Yet are we putting any pressure on global polluters to stop it? Are we fck. We are filling their order books! 

    We have destroyed our steel industry because its dirty and uses lots of energy, are we using less steel ?. No we just import it from the other side of the world! 

    We are taking petrol and diesel cars of the road. When we passed our tests we drove 250 quid bangers and learnt to keep em going by visiting the scrap yard. Now when a kid passes their test they either have a be bought a first car by parents or the wait until they start work and get signed up to finance. That's what it's all about, getting us on finance, not saving the planet. 

    Local moorlands that are owned by water companies are driving farmers and keepers from the land. Rewinding and planting tress is the call, save the planet! Yet the moorlands are tinder boxes that burn for days at a time each year. Yet local companies can offset their carbon by buying trees to plant. Remember the land as pasture and moorland was already secreting carbon before, and employing people and producing food. Now companies don't need to produce less carbon, they just pay for some trees to plant on the moorland to add fuel to the wildfires. Food for the nation? Nah just buy it from the other side of the world! 

    Apparently black lives matter? Well unfortunately not if your a kid in Africa, mining elements for batteries and releasing heavy metals into rivers and the oceans. 

    Whole things a con and Britain is falling for it quicker than any other developed country on the planet

  13. smoking while pregnant

    in General Talk

    Posted

    I split up with my Mrs over it

    i always said if we have kids you stop and she always said of course my hormones will kick in etc

    she got pregnant refused to give up and kicked me out because she was guilt ridden

    my lads fine but she was an older woman and a c**t to boot

    Its wrong to smoke during pregnancy and all this what about abortions what about takeaways 

    forget that

    youre potentially cutting off the kiddies blood supply when you smoke

    ihuge f***ing difference

    as for abortion you’re terminating a life 

    not potentially leaving a child with permanent disabilities for its life

    Oh forgive me, mate. A didnt realise that was your assessment of them , after field trialing them ? Thought provoking, though ?  "strangling",...you would envision perhaps, as snaring it round the neck, would you mean ?,.....cause NO, thats not the case,....but i think i know what your getting at,....& really cause of the traps 'mode of action' coupled with Bobs triple coiled , high tensile , double springs,.....ive found a swift demise (if caught correctly),....however, i wouldnt claim they are more humane, than the current 'rated' modern traps. (lets face it does a mole perish INSTANTLY in any of them either ?,......a dont think so, overall ?

    If it has a soft loop or fixed snare in it regardless of your views it will be classed as a strangulation

    i have used them they aren’t for me

    i like to see the old ways kept going but I stand by what I said

    theyre not humane
