  1. I use CCC3............covers you for all fieldsports in one policy. https://www.ccc3.co.uk/home
  2. Reading that article, the only proven crime is driving without insurance ! The rest seems to be bull5hit.............unless having a dog in a car was made illegal while I wasn't looking !
  3. You can't mention that a woman is having the baby. That's no longer basic biology - thats homophobia, mate ! The Daily Mail pointed it out, and several major advertisers have withdrawn ads ! Where would THL be without ads by Mature 40+ and Muslim Singles ?
  4. A lot of those policies will involve banning this, that or the other. Some of them will be impossible to ban while we remain in EU - is this a signal that Labour will finally get behind Brexit ?????
  5. My lurcher and terriers are all raw fed - minced chicken, with some trips. Add grated veg or Apple and a small amount of mixer, for fibre. Supplemented with raw eggs once a week, meaty beef bones or lamb ribs. No wastage, no runny mess to clear up and reasonably cheap !
  6. You should probably clarify that !
  7. Science can't make him any less of an irritating little tw4t, though !
  8. I sent one card............ received none ! The look on her face was priceless, and she's been overly nice to me all day ! Small victories, lads, small victories !
  9. Labours policies are a result of their desire to attract votes from the young and the lunatic fringes - which are all too often the same thing ! To get votes from nutters, your policies have to be nutty !
  10. Legal fox hunting is gone, never to return, in my view. What we should all be doing is concentrating our efforts into make sure that other fieldsports don't go the same way ! I continue to support my local hunt, but not in any real hope of seeing a repeal. These days, I'm more concerned about further restrictions on air guns, and tightening of other firearms legislation. If you work dogs, a reworking of animal welfare laws could see your last time squeezed. Once we allow politicians to set off down a road, they never turn back !
  11. Nice tip about the foil, Mac.........never heard that one before. I'll store it away for future use !
  12. As you say, Chris, my issue is who decides what is "extremist", and what will they be open about what criteria they use to decide ? The answer to the last part is probably "no"........
  13. A sexual predator with a dislike of telling the truth ? With a record like his, he should stand for Parliament - he'd fit right in !
  14. From one Notts lad to another..........hello and welcome, me duck !
  15. My missus left me last month, which worried me..............for a while I thought I'd gone deaf !! Make the most of your new found leisure time, Ted !
  16. Is that the new Nissan ?
  17. Many species of hominoid and human have existed, over millions of years, often simultaneously. Each took their own evolutionary course, but we (homo sapiens) are the only surviving species. Many of us, however, still carry traces of Neanderthal DNA - (insert punchline here)............
  18. I watched Prehistoric Autopsy on BBC4 recently. They did reconstructions of Neanderthal and Australopithecus, going back over 3 million years - absolutely fascinating and utterly absorbing (and presented by Alice Roberts !). It really brought our ancestors 'back to life', after spans of time that we can't even begin to imagine............
  19. Whatever happened to "we reserve the right to refuse service".........? I remember barmaids and landlords saying "I think you've had enough", doormen saying "not tonight,pal"........these are private premises - as Al Murray's character says, "MY GAFFE, MY RULES "
  20. To use an Americanism, she "covered all the bases" - which was the loophole left open by the NI baker. Goes to show that, with a little planning, the soppy, leftie ideology is NOT infallible - even in the bastion of soppy leftishness !
  21. I mentioned licensing to my new FEO (I moved county recently) , and he said that (quote) "the police have no interest in it, whatsoever." Unfortunately, I couldn't pin him down to whether that means "ambivalent" or "opposed".......... I think it's more likely, at some point in the future, that shotguns will only be granted under the same rules as firearms.
  22. The good lady says I think more of my guns than I do of her........... Well, they're useful, reliable, I'm always pleased to see them - and I take them out more often ! What can she mean..........?
  23. I was watching Forces TV the other night (Starsky and Hutch !), and they ran several recruitment ads............ The other army ads show the comradeship that is forged, often under adversity. The Navy advert ("born in Carlisle, made in the Royal Navy") shows the commitment that recruits need. The RAF ad shows the wealth of career opportunities available to personnel. Most of the ads already have black and ethnic participants. I dont see why the MOD paid (handsomely, I would imagine) for an advert aimed specifically at Muslims........to tell them that, if they join the army, they can
  24. I've tried to explain cricket - which I love - to my Hungarian mate, until I'm pulling my hair out (such as it is !). "So, one team goes in, and stays until they're out, then the team that was out goes in, until they're out.........." kind of scenario. We watched a Big Bash T20 game recently, and he annoyed me so much that I ended up switching it off ! "That's a different chap batting !" "That's because the bowlers change ends after 6 balls."...........cue schoolboy hysterics. And so it went on.
