    Ive started getting into these series lately rather than films i was laid up with a bad back for a few weeks recently and got through the whole lot of that Peaky Blinders i thought it was great.......just started this Breaking Bad now....didnt think id like it at first but onto the second season and its really good....... like a cross between a film and a soap opera i havent seen a new film come out that ive liked in ages.

    Was going to suggest the series. Peaky Blinders, Breaking bad, Narcos, Sons of Anachy, Better Call Saul (watch after Breaking bad) are all good. We finished watching Prison Break at 2 last night which i'd seen some of when they first came out but being able to watch them back to back on Netflix is better as it's easier to follow the story than when it first came out and you had to wait a week for the next one

    I finished Breaking Bad just before xmas i really enjoyed it......ready for another one now and its a toss up between Sons of Anarchy,Prison Break or Dexter ?.......ive watched a few episodes of Sons of Anarchy but not sure i,ll watch the lot im comparing it to Breaking Bad and its not a patch on that so far......that the trouble with these series because they go on so long its a big commitment so needs careful thought :D

    I didn't like sons as much as breaking bad but it did grow on me. Prison break is really good but as you say a big commitment especially when you can watch them back to back. We always end up watching 'one more episode' and wind up in the early hours exhausted

  2. Great project and really worthwhile as well!

    Our own pond is only relatively small, at around 12ft X 18ft maybe. It's been established a while and is always teaming with newts, frogs and various other bits and bats. Best in the spring when there are hundreds of frogs croaking away with their heads popping out. If you approach it they go mental thrashing around trying to under the water. Its topped up by water from the roof/guttering that runs off an agricultural building that I have close by.

     

    Duck weeds a b*****d mind!

    Crofty 'the off-liner' and the missing pet rabbits

    TB two weeks

    The disabled guy fight in tescos

    All classics..

    The ultimate busher thread was a beauty... The lad with a poodle looking thing that was going to be trained into a bushing machine... Another belter!

    Mr Cuban that was and he reckoned it was a toy poodle.
    Thats the one, wonder what happened to him... and the dog
    As he never came back on I assumed he crashed and burned,

    I got myself a labradoodle pup to try out,3/4 mini poodle x 1/4 lab, but I'm keeping stum incase it don't work out.lol

    Better safe than sorry mate....

    although most dogs of that breeding excel, at everything... so the outcome is pretty safe... pretty much odds on favourite to become the bestest dog in the whole of 2016.. globally! or at the very least, easily the best in the country!

    It's a smart tyke ,though she started rumbling at other people that walk past now,looks I get as they approach and the little golden fluffy dog starts growling are priceless.

     

    Oh right... I thought you were only messing.. didnt realise you actually had one... sorry...good luck with it

  7. Just been informed that I am getting a new Barbour Wax Coat for Xmas but I have to decide which one I want.

    I need to go and have a proper look soon but after a quick look on the old internet I quite like the traditional look of the Beaufort (there is a classic Beaufort and also a Beaufort so not sure exactly what the difference is). The Sapper also look pretty good.

    Anyway just thought I'd see what the lads on here have to say and if they have any opinions.

    Also if someone can tell me the difference in the 2 Beauforts it would be appreciated.

    Suppose it depends what you want it for mate. I like wax jackets and have had a couple of barbour ones in the last two years. Can't argue with the quality of them but both have been slim fitted types that you wouldn't get much in the pockets but I use then for work. I have a cheap £35 job for the countryside with bigger pockets

  8. Mine hasn't worked in about ten years. She was a teacher before but jacked it in a couple of years before our first was born.

     

    The kids are both at school and have been for a few years now so hypertherically she could get something part time now and still manage to be there when the kids need her. Think that ship has sailed though now and she's got too used to faffing around all day with her friends drinking lattes etc

  9.  

    They're looking really good mate, nice and chunky. Should make really good dogs.

    cheers mate, yeah should do ok! hope uncle banjo will be teaching one of the pups a few tricks when you go out..

    Haha am sure he will mate but hopefully not too much as dropped me right in it today with an unauthorised, midday massacre!

    Better to stick with just a few of the common ones that are good eating like the cepe and birch bolete. They are pretty distinctive once you've figured them out.

     

    I was brought up around it with my mum and grandad knowing loads more good ones but I tend not to piss about and take chances with more obscure ones. Most of what I find round here are orange birch bolete or cepe anyway

    Any pic,s mate.

    Cep

    Orange birch bolete

    http://www.first-nature.com/fungi/leccinum-versipelle.php

     

    Both look pretty similar as they're both part of the same family. Both are really tasty. OBB is found around birch trees and has a more orange tint to it.

     

    As the other lad said field mushrooms are another commonly found easy to recognise one

  12. Course it's not too late in your thirties.

     

    About the certs. Sounds like they are taking the piss... The skills and qualifications are yours. The certs in anyone else's hands other than yours mean nothing. To my mind they have no right to hold them as they are restricting your ability to 'ply your craft' which is not allowed. Is there a governing body that issued the qualifications/certs contact them direct and explain what your company has done and ask them to reissue to yourself. They may charge you an admin fee or something though. If they can't see if there is a union you can sign up for that can give you some legal support.

     

    It's pretty normal in my industry to include financial tie ins when training people but these are usually along the lines of paying half the training if you leave within a year or so of the course but this would need to have been agreed in advance to be enforceable

  13. Wow what an article!! '4th biggest crime!!!' Really! 'The sums of money are huge' am I missing something? Are they talking about the huge sums of money made from selling the odd scabby hare?

     

    Bet they are using the sums of money from rhino horns etc to justify coming out with that bollocks
