Hello,
I was out with work yesterday just in the North of Glasgow and found these berries beside some raspberries. I am struggling to ID them, and wondered if anyone knows what they are.
They are slightly smaller than a pea.
Hope you can help
-
would love to see this when its finished. Really balanced look to it.
-
Still looking if anyone has anything similar.
-
As above, looking for a good condition HW97K with scope etc. Im in Glasgow so either posted or within 100 miles for F2F.
Pics appreciated.
PM me if you have anything similar

Hi
Looking to get started and wondering if anyone near Glasgow or South Lanarkshire is selling any of their rifles. As I say, just starting out so would need a wee try of the gun to make sure it suits me etc.
PM me if you have any you are selling.

does anyone have pics of previous years??
-
They are too bold up my way, golfers and old dears feeding them constantly.
There was a wee tame one that used to hang around the 17th and 18th at the Golfy and would get pieces from the golfers. Then some wee a'holes put a club through its heid. I dont go for foxes but would rather it had been taken by a dog than a wee jakey with a 6 iron.
Saw one in my maws kitchen as well, sneaky wee bam.

96k is f**k ALL mate!...lmao...mine ran like brand new and it had done 368.000!!!...i do NOT maintain my vehicahls either...always drving around with low/no oil, same with water in the rad, low air in tires...running on fumes etc, etc...i went straight through a telephone pole with it, and bent it in half like a boomarang...it sat in the drive for five months in the winter, and i turned the key, started FIRST time, like new...our neighbor brought it off of us foe $350, he cut the top off of it, and sold it to a guy in St.Louis for $650...
I would own another in a heart beat, never got it stuck, and i beat the f**k out of it!...GREAT motor!
Kye..
Is it the Isuzu you had Kye? Pretty impressive
-
farmers union maybe?

My preference would be the Navara with mileage from either vehicle not being a problem provided there's some sort of service history. (which the Isuzu has)
The Isuzu is a nice truck but the auto gearbox is a 'cluncker' and 4 wheel drive can be quite difficult to engage and disengage due to the electronics. Quite good on 30mpg which is average for most 4 x 4's but the 3L engine only throw's out 129bhp with a hell of a lot of bottom end torque which again could make the back end skittish off road or on wet tarmac.
Has the Isuzu done 41k in one year ?? or is your year a typo in the thread.
The Navara on a 51 plate isn't the Navara of the present day .. it's a version of Nissans NP300 with a separate manual high / low gearbox lever (none electronic) far less spec than the Isuzu and probably with it's original steel wheels but it may have been upgraded.
Price wise will depend on their condition but both appear slightly overpriced but NOT by very much again it's a condition issue and service history ... that's your choice.
Spec / trim wise the Isuzu wins hands down .. mechanically the Navara is the better one.
Cheers Lads
The owner of the Rodeo said he had it for a year, and that he has serviced it himself since 55k so will need to dig into that a bit more and find out if it has actually done 41k in a year. It is an auto.

Have been looking for a new truck for a while, and saw a Rodeo 3.0l auto Denver for £4.4k. Its a 53 reg
Two owners with no towing, and has a years mot on it. Isuzu servicing up until 55k and then he current owner hasserviced it himself since buying it year ago.
Only thing is it has done 96k miles and I'm a little put off buy this. Would high(ish) miles put anyone else off, or does it all really depend on giving it a deent check over with a mechanic?
Have seen a Navara 51 reg for 4 and has only done 55k miles. 2 owners as well.
What would you go for?
-
Isuzu Rodeo, should be able to find one for £5k'ish

Monster of a dog, walks along with the rest of them. But when he gets locked on, nothing stops him and he doesnt miss. I like dogs with the guts that keep going back again and again, good stamina and all that. Bandits rate speaks for itself though, doesnt need countless slips or hours walking about hoping. Sees it. gets it.
You keep him in good shape benny, its obviously a combination of his makeup (secret recipe) and your methods. Not many dogs would still be going after what he's been through. But youre both reaping the rewards now, credit to you.

Here you go

I dont go for foxes but obviously understand the need for it.
Just my opinion but taking them out will surely be killing your own sport. I dont think it would be THAT true a test to wake em up and toss the dogs and them together. Just like I dont agree with doubling up with decent sized (educated) hounds on them, not fair sport IMO
-
by definition they are racist. Selective breeding, elitism etc etc
But Im missing something here, how does the name Sooty imply racist intent, I dont see a connection?
Stories like this only through more fuel on the fire when it comes to recruiting fundamentalist yobs to head out to the training camps and then return in a couple of years with a sneaky backpack and video message back at the flat.

remember my da bringing our deerxgreyxcollie in with his guts all over the place. From what I remember he had cleared a barbed wired fence, but it was doubled up with another new fence a foot behind it. Dog opened up as if he had a zipper on his underbelly. My old man had carried him down for 2 mile or so. Back before mobile phones.
Same dog lost a bit of his knob on the barbed wire a couple of years later.
The dog I have now lost a toe after popping his collar and running around the back of the shops, broken bottles etc. Months later we found that he had a shard of glass hidden above his wrist, it was about 2 inches long.
There were a couple of my dads mates dogs lost due to injuries on ice. Dont know why the idiots were running them on such bad ground, but broken backs on two of them.

dont think it matters which vet mate, ask them for sure though

i use argos , they paid up quick and without a fuss or increase? just say crossbred and you should get it for less than £8 a month
Have to agree mate, I use argos too and they have been fine so far. Made 5 claims in total for my two "cross breeds". They increased the excess this year so we now pay the first £60 quid.
Defo worth having some insurance, as inevitably the dogs will get some sort of injury along the way, especially as pups
-
mine are 1st cross. Had a fair few injuries early on with them but hopefully settling now. 20 months. Havent had a great deal of work, but mad keen on foxes. They tend to grow a bit slower than other crosses from what I understand so dont let the pup go mental with excercise just yet. Mine are still filling out just now, but havent put any height on since 16/18 months.
Good with other dogs, good pace for their size, mine dont turn fantastic compared to smaller dogs but thats to be expected. They are around 31" tts
