Saw a thing about it the other day. Don’t remember ‘76, but one year in the ‘80’s there was an infestation of them.., seemed to follow after few weeks where there were clouds of greenfly around every bush or tree.

Had one in a bird box a few years back but a bit too close to where the kids played. Waited until late evening and they were all home and took a 3m length of 15mm plastic pipe and filled the end with ant powder and blew it into the box. Worked a treat.

Used to, same as buying the Big Issue. Hardly give anything now unless it’s someone who genuinely looks like they deserve a hand. Half the country would deem you racist if you complained about the gangs of Romanian ‘professional’ beggars up and down the country. Utter fcuking madness!

Unfortunately it was the first thing I thought when I read about it, and maybe a bit unfair as I’ve no idea what experience or training the lad had in driving powerful cars. Thing is it’s way too easy now to climb into a motor with incredible power and which can put you in trouble in a heartbeat.., or even worse, wipe out some poor b*****d coming the other way. Hate the idea of even more legislation and opportunity for the government to rinse us for more cash, but if we’re going to allow the sale of these 200mph rocket ships, then maybe we should insist that some form of mandatory advanced dri

Let's See Your Phone Shots !!

Not had the best of days but came home to find some wee bird having a worse day than me. Always get a lift when I see the neighbourhood sparrowhawk in the garden. Shot not the best.., but decent by my standards. -
Do like a carvery. Probably best I’ve had was in O’Neill’s pub in Suffolk Street Dublin about 30 year ago. Went back a few year ago and it was okay, but nothing like as good as first time round.

This might be an actual ‘pet’ hate. Cats. And more specifically, dead cats.., knocked down and killed by cars. Well not really cats, it’s the owners and the fcukwits who post about it on social media that wind me up. Sorrow (and many crying and broken heart emojis) for the cat, deepest condolences to the owners, but not a shred of anything for the poor fcuker that ran the thing over. Or, actual hatred if they didn’t stop to scrape it off the road and rush it to the nearest vet. Buy a cat, keep it indoors, it won’t get flattened by a car. Simples.

Apologies if this has been covered.., used the app at a favourite spot this morning and I could hear at least five different calls but the app was only picking up one bird. Use with an iPhone, and I guess the app is only as good as the mic is at listening. Bit of a technophobe (lazy cnut) so my question is, is there any way to make the phone or app more sensitive, or can I buy an external plug in mic to improve…, anyone used one?

As a white man you’re supposed to feel offended, it’s the only reason they do it. It’s our turn to feel oppressed don’t you know. Thing is a bunch of white men (probably with beards) made up the Jesus story, and so made him in their own likeness. The same is true of Santa, Tarzan, Popeye, Don Quixote, Sherlock Holmes and Homer Simpson. Typical of today’s victim culture, some feel the need to attack the creators rather than go and write their own narrative, and think they’re on some sort of praiseworthy crusade for social justice, when in fact they only sow more seeds of division and intoleran

They don’t like it up ‘em the old English, do they. Boo every other country’s anthem whether it be football, boxing or whatever, but can’t take a wee bit back. Dry your fcuking eyes…, and to be fair not sure how much this actually comes from Littler, I think he’s better than that. “Luke Littler may never set foot in Germany again after experiencing hostile treatment from crowds during the World Cup of Darts, it's been claimed. The 18-year-old darts prodigy and his England teammate Luke Humphries were knocked out of the tournament by the host nation. They faced relent

This is about my standard. Can you spot the bird?

What are people charging for wasp nests?
pesky1972 replied to PLEDGEY's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Found one in my loft today. About the size of a grapefruit and easy to get at, so hopefully won’t cost too much to remove. I’d have a go at removing it but I’m a bit of a sh!tebag when it comes to wasps. -
Head and shoulders above every other team and must’ve been massive odds on to win the competition. Bookies should be checking all bets laid! Seen Humphries, who seems a nice lad btw, talking earlier and was blowing his trumpet a bit. The whole honours thing is a lot of sh!te anyway, and this sort of nonsense just proves it.

Big one this.., the rapid decline of the pub trade and our drinking culture. I’m right now supping on a pint of Guinness poured through the nitro-surge (which is fcuking brilliant by the way, and pours a better pint than 90% of pubs do) watching ‘Sir’ David Beckham on a TV ad pour ‘pub quality’ Stella ‘at home’. There are a few decent pubs still going, but many a good one has gone to the wall, and most now are hanging by a thread. I think there are a lot of factors which have brought this about and sadly I don’t think there’s any going back now.., some of these places were absolutely the hub a

Recycling in action. Great to see the pigeons getting involved.

I’d love to see a British copper stand up and actually read the riot act. Sadly hell will have frozen over by the time our country finds the backbone to tell these people that they hold neither the moral high-ground nor any sort of mandate or justification for forcing these levels of illegal immigration on our society. This is more of a reflection of who we are now…

My 18y/o daughter was playing this earlier. I should probably hate it but I don’t.., think it’s actually pretty catchy.

When it comes to the great Messi v Ronaldo debate, I’m picking Messi every time. But it has to be said CR7 is an absolute phenomenon. Playing his 220th international game at 40 years of age tonight, and to be doing so when strength and fitness within the game is at the cutting edge of science. Deserves his place in the conversation amongst the select few who can be considered the best to ever play the game.

You’ve taken that too far..

So true. I went through my fly boxes a few months ago and finally threw out a load of stuff I’d had in there for maybe 20 or 30 years. I had all manner of weird and wonderful rubbish which, if it was a choice of tying it on or packing up and going home.., I’d be going home.

Great video that. I’d like one day to put a couple of cameras on a deer carcass high on a hill in the highlands, and maybe catch an eagle on it. Came close a few years ago when I was putting the odd camera out, when I came across an animal but it was picked nearly clean. There were a couple of kites flying around it but the hike in to it was so brutal through bog and thigh high heather that I decided against leaving a camera.

I did not know that. PS. I bought a bra too…, got it for half price.
