  1. So you choose to come on and say that! Why? if you think there's nothing for you on here and its all a "Click" then why bother?. Possibly better of on airgun bbs or is that to clicky for you?
  2. And a couple of bits i made from the leftovers
  3. A couple more pictures of the bike made from odds and ends and a couple of old CJ250T`s
  4. When i was a young un, I got to witness a pair of Merlins flown at Skylarks, Brilliant stuff and defiantly a heart in mouth moment when the come back towards the ground like little missiles only to open up feet from it.
  5. the one i had off Nick fox came with a very detailed diary off basically its whole life.
  6. Khan calling the kettle black Khan claims Anderson is a racist and anti Islamic. He usually calls anyone who disagrees with his views as racists. Another Freudian slip. Anderson is not a racist and has only pointed out that Khan a devout Sunni muslim has influenced negatively the majority of labour London policies. Allowing Antisemitism hate marches to continue with poor controls by the police with chanting ‘River to the Sea’ and messages projected on Big Ben, white family's does not represent London, Knife crime at its highest, Congestion, Ulez and now Charging per mile attacking th
  7. They keep throwing the "Racist" narrative out, Over what he said, There was Nothing racist in the comments he made. It is not possible to be racist towards a religion, This is the same approach they took with Tommy Robinson,

    Spotted quite a few in Albufeira, Portugal
  9. Given there's allegedly only six million of them in the Country. It would appear that every institution in this Country is being influenced if not controlled by them.

    I wrongly assumed it was just Long tailed tits that collected them mate. Long tailed tits remind me of Marmoset monkeys for some strange reason Lol

    The other year i witnessed Gold Finch collecting spiders webs off our fence, First time i have ever seen them do it.
  12. Years ago when i was about 14, i had a shed near the house where i bred Gloster Canaries, That year the weather was mild like it has been this winter/spring. I let them all go down early. It turned colder and snowed in late March beginning of April, I lost the lot,

    i had that book. even marked off the eggs i had in my collection. I can remember getting into a fight with a lad because i had taken a cuckoos egg from a nest, I also found a fire crest nest and took a single egg. When we use to go back to Anglesey, i was always looking for gulls eggs.

    I think most of us of a certain age would have had an Egg collection as kids, Most of us will have grown out of it but some just keep on being obsessed with it. I have not read the link but i assume its the guy caught recently with 2000 eggs, He was previously caught with around 5000 eggs.

    BMW's?

    Watched a thing about the new Tesla battery/Hydrogen car that they have developed. 0 - 60 in less than 2 seconds.
  16. There was a bloke called Dr Nick Fox up Cumbria way who bred Pere/Saker`s for the Arab market. He would train them to fly from horseback. They were housed free flying once trained in Great big Dutch barn type buildings with sheep keeping the grass down,

    BMW's?

    The Mrs has an X1 s drive 2 ltr petrol, Had it from new in 2022, Before that she had a Rav4 2.5ltr Hybrid. Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with the BMW. Apart from the indicators are a pain in the arse for not turning themselves off and there's no reversing camera, But in my opinion the Rav4 was a far better car, The best BMW i have ever owned was a 1990 325i.
  18. I once watched an actual video of a bloke who caught anaconda's for zoos and that, In the video he dived into a river and waited to be attacked by an anaconda. Once it had coiled around him, he scrambled to the bank and it was removed by his helpers. i think his wife was one of them, I have looked for it online but have not been able to find it.
  19. Some of the best trained dogs i have ever seen belonged to falconers, The amount of time and effort that is put into training and entering a bird is far beyond the comprehension of a lot of dog men, The Harris Hawk opened up this sport to the masses, to the detriment of the sport in my opinion. Anyway back to this topic Lee Green is correct that trained birds will take species that a wild bird would not contemplate for risk of injury. But that's what makes falconry special.
  20. The longest reticulated python ever recorded was found in 1912 and measured in at a staggering 10 metres -
  21. Forecast to piss it down for the rest of this week, My shed roof has decided to give up the ghost, Piss wet through inside with buckets hanging everywhere. Roll on the summer Lol.
  22. Golden Eagle attacks boy on a cliff https://www.tiktok.com/@shortsvideos172125/video/7202313842355916037?lang=en
  23. Blame Thatcher, She was was the one who put us on the course to be a service Nation. Back in the 1970`s everybody had a job and we manufactured everything from knitwear to Ships, Instead of taxing cheap imports so they matched British Manufactured prices on the High street they decided to just let the cheap imports flood in. Every subject you look into, it always comes down to some very powerful people making big money and our Government being complicit with it. They don't give a f**k about the standard of living of the normal citizen and have not done for a long time. Quick example Ofge
