Thanks for sharing. I have a real love for Manchester and it’s people.All my dad’s family were miners and my grandmother worked in the cotton mills . Although I was born there I was brought up down in Gloucestershire. My dad did his apprenticeship at Dehavaland aircraft company during the war , he was the only one of all his brothers to escape the pit . We later moved to Gloucestershire so he could work at Gloster Aircraft company. TBH the beer in these parts isn’t the best . However there are a few small craft brewers around and things are improving. But Cider , there is some good cider prod

You would need to see a chiropractor after dragging that thing through the bushes . I don’t think your primos sticks are up to it either. ???

That is a fantastic group at that range. It doesn’t say in the write up but that is a Night force scope , fantastic scopes for long range shooting. He probably used more powder in that five shot group , than I would in a month of busy fox shooting. I think I’ll stick to a .223 . ?

I was watching the news the other morning and there was a BAME girl on there telling us that employers are going to be receiving guidance on how they advertise their vacancies so as to not put off ethnic/ black / BAME whatever you want to call them from applying. The gist of it was that if your advert is to grammatically correct and well written it makes them feel less likely to feel that they should apply. For example she quoted one advertisement for a role which read “ must have world class communication skills “ . She suggested that to make it more appealing to a more diverse set of applica

I suppose it would just save them going to all the bother of shanking each other .

Their arguments are based on reason , just emotion . It’s them and us . Snowflakes against common sense . It’s creeping into every aspect of our lives . What a crazy f@cked up world we live in . If our sport was carried out by transgender , disabled black kids , we would be safe , or would we ????

I see that wild justice failed to get Grouse shooting banned on the 21st of June . Not much has been mentioned in the media . But we can’t sit back on our Laurels , these people are persistent, they are used to failure and will just keep chipping away . You won’t change these peoples perspective and a good old fashioned “ass whooping “ would have no effect other than to make “you” feel better. Packem would be just like the “daft kid “ at school who after a good beating would just get up and carry on as if nothing had happened.

It’s not just the women they have to be diverse. They have to have black pundits as well. I’ve always thought Ian Wright was good and never thought he was there just because he was black , he made interesting and valid observations and was there because he was funny and clever and good at his job . So why Ashley Cole ? The guy can barely string a sentence together.

My favourite beer is without doubt a pint of Joseph Holt . My dads side of the family live in Bolton or Westhaughton and If I get up there for a family event I always try to get in the White lion in Westhaughton for a Joey Holt .

Enjoy your birthday Baldcoot. Pissing down here today. Got a team together this morning to run a pen through. I knew there was a muntjac in there , I’ve been try all week to coax it out but to no avail . Anyhow , the team of terriers spaniels and Lurcher’s soon found it and it hit the side of the pen and smashed straight through the wire and out to freedom. The birds were coming tomorrow morning but we are forecast heavy rain tomorrow night so they are on hold and I will speak to the game farmer tomorrow and see what we are doing . Bloody weather ???

True …… they don’t know what pain is !!!

Onto the proper job now , this is my favourite tipple at the moment.

Went to check my squirrel traps this morning and the sight that met me made me wince . There were two squirrels in my box trap , one had managed to somehow get caught in two traps , but both of them had managed to get caught by their testicles and one had managed to get his penis caught too . They were both still alive , so I quickly put them out of their misery. I have got to say that the box trap has been very humane so far with the vast majority of squirrels caught by the body and would have been killed instantly. I think I know what has caused this . I topped up with a bit of wheat and cra

Friday night , chill out ?

I For me the Belfield bubble has burst . He has revealed his true feelings towards something that I feel passionately about . He is an “anti”. And as such I can’t listen to one more word that comes out of his mouth . On the other hand , I might look at “Location, Location, Location “ with a new found appreciation .

I don’t watch much “normal TV” . I prefer to watch YouTube or now Andrew Niels GB news . One of the channels I have subscribed to on YouTube was “ Alex Belfield , the voice of reason “. I often enjoyed his rants against the BBC and the woke brigade . But I tuned in tonight and there he is slagging off Phil Spencer ( the guy estate agent guy who shows people around houses that none of us can afford) for shooting a Roe buck . He said “how can anyone now watch any of his programs, knowing he takes pleasure from killing things “. Well that’s me unsubscribed from the ginger twat .

I haven’t seen a cub yet when I’ve been out a night. I’ve trapped two and I’ve shot vixens that have had Cubs . So I dare say they will show up as soon as my birds go to wood .

My local game dealer is paying £1.90 for clean rabbits. We aren’t overrun with them . But I reckon I could go around with the lamp off the buggy and shoot enough to make a profitable evening. The stupid horse women are always moaning about them , so I’d better show willing and have a go .

They will be hoping that he can reassure the Asians ( because he is one of their own ) that it is ok to have the jab ( not white peoples magic) . Because it’s them f@ckerz that’s causing the spikes and all the problems at the moment. Houses of multiple occupancy, sweat shops , mosques, you name it . When the BBC says Bolton is going into lockdown , we have to read between the lines that it’s the BAME to blame .

I agree with the OP . I’m seeing a lot more hedgehogs around . Not just dead on the roads but with my thermal spotter when out foxing . I am convinced that the badger cull has benefited their numbers. A little story for you . I was driving back home after being out lamping and I was behind a car with some young traveler lads in from the local sight . I spotted a hedgehog starting to cross the road ahead of them , I couldn’t believe it when they actually swerved to flatten it . I was gutted , there was no way that I was going to follow them or confront them . But I was so pissed of

OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101"

Good grief, thank goodness for the Atlantic Ocean. I hope this guy doesn’t start drinking in my local , he’d soon find himself alone at the bar .
