  1. I remember a while back the local paper ran a story about gangs of thugs snipping off the legs of frogs and toads at a local reservoir. The paper reckoned the legs were used in the restaurant business. I went to have a look and sure enough there were dozens and dozens of dead legless frogs and toads. I wrote to Trevor Beeby, a professor who has written books on british amphibians, with photographs and asked him his opinion on what happened. He wrote back and said he had been inundated with similar letters as mine from various areas of the country. And that the culprits were definitely o
  2. Yeah me too. Never , ever passed a corrugated iron sheet without having a look.lol
  3. I remember pond dipping one day and I noticed some older lads had caught a great crested. The twats pinned it with needles in each leg and then ran a knife down the centre of its belly. Shower of b*****ds, I couldn't believe it. I'm still traumatised. Lol
  4. I was obsessed with frogs and newts when I was a kid. Come Spring I was forever hunting them. I've got two wildlife ponds which are used by them now.I generally get about 25 males and a dozen females which return to spawn every year. Its usually about March 15 they spawn. I'll put a photo up.
  5. I don't know how he started tats. He reckons its not difficult to breed them as long as they have space, good food and peace and quiet.
  6. His place is like a fortress and he keeps a low profile. He has sports cars and land rovers dotted around his gaffe. He keeps his birds in big aviaries. The tops of the aviaries have a double layer of heavy duty fishing net on them to secure his birds. Wire net is too hard on the birds if they panic and fly into it. I repair the nets for him every year. I can sew and repair nets. We have a few days out with the hawks in exchange.
  7. He even apologised for swearing and littering.lol
  8. Wow, never seen so many. Brilliant.
  9. I know a bloke who breeds birds of prey for export, mostly to the Arabs. He is very,very wealthy.

  11. No baby squeakers here yet, but at dusk you can see the bucks out early looking for does. You often see them scrapping with fur flying. They take risks this time of year. I've nailed plenty of them with dogs over the years. No frogspawn hate yet. Any down your end Arry?
  12. Four minute delay before a VAR decision. Crazy.
  13. Were its balls pink after you booted them or before?
  14. Lurcher game eh? Terrible luck for a pup.
  15. I remember him. A bit overweight when he played and not that tall. Helluva brave goalie with an Elvis quiff.
  16. I love em. One of my favourites.
  17. Is your collie cross missing a toe mate?
  18. Thought this lurcher might be of interest. Rabbits cannot be hunted in Scotland so check this machine out. Something different.
  19. There's been ravens flying over the rookery near my house. Their croak is unmistakable. They are either looking for rook eggs to eat or roosting or nesting sights. Great tits and blue tits have been gathering moss and lichen. I don't think they are really serious at the minute though. Probably just getting in the mood.
  20. Fergie was a master of psychology . He could spin any narrative to his advantage. If you read biographies about him, he was totally ruthless. Sometimes cruel and greedy. He also created this " everybody's against us" mentality. The richest club in the world and he created " a poor us", resentful vibe in the team. He played mind games with other managers, opposition players and refs. I used to really enjoy his mastery of press conferences. He reigned over journalists like they were terrified schoolboys. Discipline was his watchword. Anybody that stood up against him was history. Even world
  21. I've a cat that lurks around my bird table. It belongs to a girl with special needs so I just have to put up with it. The dog has a feud going on with it. But the cat perches itself on a purr _fect safe place, just beyond the dogs reach ...and teases the life out of it.
  22. That reminded me to take my blood pressure tablet. Think I'll double the dose. Fairplay, he kept his cool. Top man.
  23. You can't criticise a God like that. Beware a thunderbolt from Heaven you semi Irish heathen.
  24. Slot must learn from Fergie who said that in any competition , even against weak competition, you start with your strongest eleven. Once you have mastery over the weaker team and put them to bed, then you can then sub elite players and experiment with youngsters. Simples. But I do feel your pain.Not. I hope you feel Man U pain, because on a scale of one to ten, our pain levels are twenty. I have never seen such a team of individuals pretending to be a team. It's hard to watch.
  25. How do matches work? Best of three, best of five etc. I've never been around matches.
