They started celebrating once before, a few years ago. I think that this year they will wait until it is mathematically sound.

The term shock collar probably is the reason why so many people are against using them without actually having seen or used one themselves. Shock implies an electric shock when really all you are doing is applying a shock to the dog's train of thought in the same way that throwing a bottle of marbles or those cymbal type discs near to a dog. It shocks it from its pre-occupation. A bit like a hypnotist clicking his fingers and you are back in the room. Quite often you don't have to resort to anything other than the bleeper or buzzer. If used correctly you apply the 'shock' when the dog is

The problem with the UK's position now is entirely down to Remainers refusing to accept democracy and undermining the Government's position at every opportunity. Appeasement didn't work against Germany in the 1930s and it won't work against Brussels. Theresa May dropped a massive bollock in calling for the mid-term General Election and refusing to appear on TV. I realise why she did that. You only have to look at how Corbyn fared against the pit-bull interviewers but it cost her the majority she needed. I said right from the start that the EU would play dirty and try and stall for a secon

Its just like Edward and Mrs Simpson all over again. He's Cnutstruck! You can't blame him. It can't be easy picking up a decent bird when you are ginger.

Yes, we are aware of the pension question mark. It is only really an issue when inflation is high and / or you are dependent on it. At the moment the rises are smaller and we have other income so the UK pensions are not as important to us as they might be to others. I'm planning on retiring from Mole Patrol if and when I get my pension. ? I appreciate that we ex-pats are likely to come out of the Brexit situation worse off. But, I firmly believe that the UK itself will benefit over the medium to long term, and if Brexit has the affect of knocking the EU hierarchy back a peg or two then E

What is going on? For the last two years the EU have been complaining about the lack of commitment to leave the EU and now Boris is steaming ahead with plans they are all trying to make out that it will take years to sort a trade deal. Even that creep Macron who has been trying to get the EU to pull the rug from under the UK's feet all last year is now whining about a 3 year trade talk period. Two month's ago he wanted shut of the UK ASAP so he can continue his plans to take over control of Brussels (as if the Krauts would allow that). It isn't like we are coming together from new positio

I always have thought of Gervais as a self-serving w@nker. And he isn't funny.

I can second Greyman's recommendation for the Digicam. I was dubious about them having seen some of the footage online;- Is it a mouse or moose? sort of thing. But I've had good results with the one I have and to answer Rabid's post; this model takes a photo and then fires up the video cam and you can select the side facing sensors as well as the front one. No red light either. Best thing is I can rent the camera out to people with rodent problems so it will pay for itself and more. But for the OP I would suggest that one of the trail-cams that sends photos via a SIM card would be b

Seriously, that is how I work. Once I've cleared the garden I leave a few Putanges in the commuting tunnels either under a clod marked with orange paint or in soft ground, a wooden cover made from decking boards. The traps are checked twice a month, more often if there is a new infestation that the permanent traps have missed or if the customer contacts me about new activity. In practise it is rare for the permanent traps not to deal with newcomers. The customer pay for the clearance and then a monthly service charge. They get a mole-free garden and I get regular income. Only takes betwee

Don't forget to invoice every quarter ?

When a player comes off substituted typically the player gets a hug from the manager, but the manager isn't looking at the player, he's looking past him at what is going on the pitch. Not Klopp today. He made it special for each and every one of them. He cares and that is lovely to watch. We've spent Christmas and New Year doen in France on a camping site. Two of the families we got talking to in the bar were from Dortmund. They said that hey actually cried when he announced that he was leaving their club. He is a very special manager and a very special person.

Let's see your river catches 2019
Nicepix replied to Daniel cain's topic in Fresh & Salt Water Fishing
Thanks, but I tried that along with float fishing worms, and bread under a cocked float trotted downstream. Some days they will take anything you put in front of them and other days they ignore everything. Because of the bank holidays, shops closed situation I couldn't get any shell fish. I've had success with pieces of whelk or mussels cut up with scissors and fished on a small hook. As it was, the first day I only caught a terrapin and the mullet ignored worms, spinners, bits of weed float fished and suspended off weed rafts. As many of the fish were feeding just downstream of a weir I put m -
I considered that. but we only have red squirrels here and the customer has never seen one in his garden or nearby. He's been here ten years almost. The trail-cam footage shows wood mice, known as mulots over here, and adult rats. I've been away for a fortnight and during that time he sent an email with a photo of a new hole under his shed. Definitely a rat.

Let's see your river catches 2019
Nicepix replied to Daniel cain's topic in Fresh & Salt Water Fishing
Had a couple of short sessions on the Riu Ter in Catalonia. The river is full of mullet, some in fast shallow reaches and others in the slower main channel. I tried trotting in the faster stretch but they weren't having it. I got some interest in the slow stretch by prebaiting with bread and waiting until they got confident. Managed to catch two both around 2lb, maybe a little more. A few days later we came across a couple of locals fishing the faster stretch with about 6oz of bread moulded round a ledger and a trailing hook to snag any interested fish. I watched them for an -
In that instance about 3 yards. In other placements it will trigger on a mouse at 6 or 7 yards and a hedgehog at about 15 yards.

We had a situation in France where I live where the two 100 hectare lakes were closed for fishing due to the drought and the rivers were unfishable due to floods. Thankfully the rain in Spain stopped last week and it is wall to wall sunshine here now. Mullet fishing tomorrow.

I agree that there is gamesmanship in the PL. But my view is that the South Americans and Italians take it to a higher level in feigning injuries, play acting and inciting reactions from players that will get them booked or sent off. It goes well beyond buying fouls.
-
I think that a lot of English teams like Liverpool ad to some extent England have difficulty playing teams that excel in professional fouls and other snide tactics. Fair play to Liverpool for rising above it without losing a player or their composure. ?

I leave the traps in when they become submerged. I've even set new ones under water. As soon as the water level drops moley will be along to harvest the drowned worms.

Yes, that's the stuff. It is my preferred rat and mouse bait as it is so versatile and lures them in. You can break it up and squish it into the cups on rodent traps, or put the crumbs under a Mk, IV trap or for the live catch cages hang a couple of biscuits off a wire. The double mousetrap boxes have a spike at each end in the bait compartment. I put a couple of Frolics on each spike and then put a sliver of wine cork on to secure them so they don't fall out when you are shaking a mouse out of the trap.

I don't know the how's and what's. I was reading the blurb about the new MOT which is supposed to be parallel all across the EU and one of the main points of the changes was to prevent people chopping the DPF out of the system. Maybe some testers don't look too closely at them.
-
Apparently the new MOT checks are supposed to fail that modification.

It was more than that Ted. He continually failed to realise that the country has no stomach for old style socialism / communism. His biggest supporters were the Islington set, not the working classes. His whole campaign was a disaster. Anybody in their right mind would have sacked Dianne Abbot for any one of her many incompetencies yet there she is fast asleep on the front bench for all to see. Can you imagine her as Home Secretary? Corbyn flip-flopped from one disaster to another and the NHS claims that he made were totally shambolic. Nobody believed him. As much as his Brexit views worked a
