  1. There is a video of it swimming away strongly upon release.
  2. The fish i believe was weighed at 47lb 5oz but is yet to be verified, So at this point as far as i am aware its not an actual British record fish, Although it possibly will be, As for Mchull and his great white caught in the village pond, Don't dismiss it out of hand, i have fished the local canal here for over 50 years on and off and the best i have landed was around 20lb. However the elctro fishing team employed by the CRT pulled out one over 32lb from an area just near me a couple of years ago,
  3. Not my pictures, but long may it continue.
  4. I once was the manager of a factory that made narrow fabrics, we had over 500 braiding machines and about 20 knitting machines, Trying to compete in a global market ended up impossible, Towards the end I could by the finished product that we were making, delivered from the east. for roughly the same price as it would have cost me buy the raw material in this country, It was a no brainer to close the company and just sell imported stuff, I am sure that AliExpress or temu would be a good place to look for 6oz nylon.
  5. Came across this picture the other day, What a capture, Australia do you think?
  6. I always thought the old belief that where you find a good population of hare`s then the rabbit population will be low, was a pile of shite, But it appears at certain times of year, when the male hares have a higher than normal desire to find a female and do the deed then it appears that they will chase rabbits off, Raised testosterone perhaps,
  7. The chair was free and the effort was around 5 minutes to lift it in the back Lol, The van is an ex mobility wheelchair conversion, great for loading my fishing trolley into as it has the ramps and the clip belts to lock the front wheels,
  8. You could not comprehend the amount of effort that went into doing all that work.
  9. Just finished. what do you think?.
  10. I have just added that to my post Lol
  11. Nothing new there mate, Back in the early 1900`s the East India Trading Company was paying the wages of whole regiments. They are the reason we ended up with Hong Kong. The exploits of the East India Company didn’t end in India. In one of its darkest chapters, the Company smuggled opium into China in exchange for the country’s most prized trade good: tea. China only traded tea for silver, but that was hard to come by in England, so the Company flouted China’s opium ban through a black market of Indian opium growers and smugglers. As tea flowed into London, the Company’s investors g
  12. All went well until one day after they had started to crack down, a lad who was travelling over with in another van was stopped at customs, he had hired the van and it was crammed full. he lost the lot and the van,
  13. Talk about double standards. Slaughtering them without mercy one minute, then exploiting them for money the next. Lol
  14. Did it myself years ago. Drive over fill the van up and drive back, 50g of Golden Virginia was less than £20 for a pack of 10.
  15. Walked into the kitchen this morning and the Mrs was watching some Border, customs thing on the telly, They had detained a women from Australia who had brought her kitchen knives with her. They concluded she was here to work and sent her back on a flight that night. Could someone please explain to me why that is not being done to those who are coming here in a dingy across the channel?.
  16. A bloke i know is as far as i am aware still on the run after 3 trucks each containing a million quid's worth of fags were followed by customers to his premise's.
  17. I once came across a sheep that was upturned, During the night a fox had chewed off one side of its face.
  18. I hate the smell of coffee beans, when we use to go up the local market there was a stall selling them, i was wrenching when i walked by it Lol
  19. He will get there in his Dunlop's, through the slop without breaking into a sweat. Lol.
  20. Costa, Starbucks or even McDonalds, No mess and no hassle Lol
  21. That is the difference between pest control and killing for sport or pleasure, Something that should be pinned in the Airgun section on here Lol.
  22. What are we learning?. That our weaponry is better than theirs. We already knew that after coming up against it in earlier conflicts. That there standard tactic is to flatten an area and the encircle it, That they prefer the hammer to the scalpel when it comes to conflict. That they are prepared to keep filling the trenches with new blood no matter how long the conflict lasts and regardless of how many Russians are killed. The only thing i think we have learned is that Putin is far more committed to this than any of the Wests pansy leaders would be. How long do you think it will be before supp
