I’ve got about the same to spend on the same thing. I was looking at a Sealand jacket. How do people rate them?

Quick questions Re, using Mk6 traps in a loft: Do you still need to put them in a tunnel indoors? If not, do they still work better in a tunnel? Does loft insulation count as a tunnel? Thanks.

Supplies of trout fly tying materials still buy fur, I don’t think they pay much though. You could ask in the chaps in the fishing section if they want some fur – miss out the middle man.

I think I can answer that: MPs can see it but they know a lot of muslims block vote the way their imams tell them. Consider the woman who is forced to wear a vale and isn’t allowed to look her husband in the eye. Who will she vote for?...whoever the f**k she is told to, that’s who. It makes a mockery of British democracy, but its why most MPs would crawl through a tunnel of turds and wasps if the imams told them to. Don’t believe me? Then look how West Indians are treated…..f*****g awfully for the most part. And why? Because the government know the majority of them can’t be arsed to v

Well mate; I’m a man, and I don’t want 4 wives, or sex with children, or total obedience from women (I’ll plead the 5th on the sexually deviancy ) and I don’t want a government who kowtows to people who do. And I have a vote! Your right; interesting times – especially come next general election.

I tried the Black Pearl pasta-tea-bag things; couldn’t get the mice to take them. Tore a couple of them open still couldn’t get the f*****g things to eat it. -
Everything but moles!

I hate to be pedantic, but; The last flood that could have effected the whole world were glacial lake outburst floods that happened at the end of the last ice age, around 12000 years ago. The largest was so dramatic that it would have caused global sea levels to rise a few feet almost over night! We know this is fact because you can actually go to Eastern Washington, USA and see the new landforms created when the glacial lake flooded into the sea. It is not impossible that this event might have entered folk law, and much later been re-told as the tale of Sumerian king Gilgamesh and th

Mate that’s a perfectly sound sentiment, and not something I’d disagree with. All I - and I think, a lot of other people - are saying is; If people can take comfort from their faith, then good luck to them. But to those people; please don’t feel you now need to discredit main-stream science, or home school your kids, or protest against medical research or any of that other crazy s**t some religious cranks get involved in.

Belief is just lack of evidence - so why believe in anything? I’d like to think there is a god, and I do get a feeling there’s something bigger out there, but I honestly don’t think any one really, truthfully, knows any more about the reality of god than I do – they might convince themselves that they do, but then people convince themselves that they’re Napoleon, there’s a lot of mental illness out there.

Moles and Mice!

Fair enough, apology accepted. Serious question – open to everyone: Why would you be, or expect anyone else to be impressed that a bible (or its later translation) that was actually written in a relatively small part of the world a few thousand years ago, was fairly accurate about the names, places and events that also happened in that same relatively small part of the world a few thousand years ago? If I told you about something that happened in my village last year, and could prove it, with newspaper cuttings or something; I would expect you to believe me too. And just becaus

Thank you for the advice lads, it’s very much appreciated.

Fraz, I don’t come on here to be rude to people, so please draw your horns in. I know which languages the original Bible was written in thank you, but the fact is you simply can’t translate anything ‘word-for-word’ from ancient Hebrew to 15th century English; it would read as unintelligible gibberish. So you can’t possibly say any English translation – including the KJ – is as accurate as the original. That’s not blasphemy, it’s common bleeding sense and I would hope no one’s too thick to understand that. As for me needing to do my history homework - let me say this: When geolo

Sorry I meant to say 'the KJ (king james) is the most beautiful piece of literature ever written'.. my bad.
-
But that's just layer upon layer of denial isn't it, which isn't what i asked for. And, in my opinion the KG is the most beautiful piece of literature ever written, but you cant say its more accurate than scripture actually written in Israel at the time....that's just silly.

Is it ok to pick sloes yet? I know you're supposed to leave till the frost, but right down south we didn't even have any frost till midwinter last year. besides, I want to get them before some other bugger does

Here’s something God based I found pretty interesting, might help keep this thread going a bit longer I recently listened to a radio interview with some eminent British historians /archaeologists who studied the bronze-age Middle East. They explained that the ancient Israelites worshipped many gods, rather than one, and that their monotheism was a relatively recent development – I’m assuming picked up from Zoroastrianism. The ancient Israelites also believed God, or El, or Yahweh – whatever you want to call him - had a wife, a goddess named Asherah. I wouldn’t have a problem squa

I usually use a bricklayer’s trowel, which I stick on the grinding wheel before I go out moleing – generally stays sharp till after lunch. For larger jobs I’ve got a JB gardener’s apprentice spade - the sort of thing posh people buy for their grandkids - that goes on the grinding wheel as well. Bloody good quality; had it for years, still look like new.

Yes, that’s the thing though mate: if something’s environment doesn’t change they don’t seem to need to evolve either. Look at things like the coelacanth: they live at the bottom of the sea in an area where nothing ever changes and as a result they still look - and infact are - identical to fish from before the age of the dinosaurs. If we spend the rest of history living the same way we do now, where would be the pressure for us to evolve? Although I must admit that dose sound a bit boring. Not sure i see that......if environmental change is needed for evolution to take pla

Yes, it’s a tough one. I amid I wouldn’t really expect anyone to be convinced by fossils if they weren’t already comfortable with the idea of evolutionary process. I could also show you the ‘missing link’ fossil ancestors of horses or whales if that would make a difference? There is the genetic clock, but – and I’m not taking the piss or making assumptions here – you would already need to understand a fair bit of science to understand that. Creatures like killer whales might be a good example of a species actually ‘caught in the act’ of evolving. You see there are killer whales in th
-
A hundred and fifty years ago that was true. Now we’ve found fossils of Australopithecus afarensis Australopithecus africanus Homo erectus Homo georgicus, Homo ergaster, Homo pekinensis, Homo heidelbergensis. And that’s just human ancestors! How many missing links do you want?

Here’s some pretty conclusive proof of evolution mate, if you are genuinely interested. It’s one of the little cave crabs from Lanzarote – you might have seen them if you’ve been on holiday there. The thing is; the cave they live in was created by a volcanic eruption that happened not that long ago in historic terms – certainly long, long after the creation was supposed to have happened. Ordinary sea crabs, or their larva, were washed into the caves and over a few hundred generations they have evolved into this completely new cave adapted species. Doesn’t mean you have to
