  1. Good afternoon Charts. Nice looking crop. I’m doing a heck of a lot of both red and green tomato chutney. It’s flying out the door. Nice little touch as well is adding 3/4 chillis. Lovely. Jok.
  2. Wolfe. Don’t know mate, but, when I was a sprog, my father made his own mole traps. (We we’re On a farm). Now I’m fairly sure that someone is going to jump on this but the trap was barrel shaped. I’m guessing about 150 mm long and about 60mm in diameter. There was a hole in the top whereby fitted a wooden paddle which connected to a spring affair which, when dislodged, sprang two ring wires at either end of the barrel catching said mole. We had a lot of success with these traps. I’m fairly sure that there is a half barrel trap but once again I’ll leave it to the experts to explain. Fairly sur

    How about that.

    Know what Will. I reckon you are bang on. Here we are, Bank Holiday, not a flicking word from him. Was my best friend ffs lol. Jok.
  4. That is what is was pal. Beautiful. Jok.
  5. Strange but true. First thing we bought when back in the UK was a black Escort R/S which was in 1984. Everyone thought you lucky rich b*****ds. I’ll admit it was the most amazing car and quick as hell. Didn’t realise it was virtually a one off. Jok.
  6. Yes mate. From 23m in a quarry. She decided the only way was up which to be fair is not ideal. Stopped her ascent, got her on a buddy bottle and she made it. Happy days. Also was saved myself. Was diving a submarine, 2 sets, I was leader and decided to go to the the bottom. We infiltrated, did what we did and went for the surface. Got tangled in a net which unfortunately had the wire in the mesh which got tangled up on my pillar valve. Luckily my colleague was cool enough, as was I, to sort it out. We were at 53 m so bit of a problem. Ended up with 25 bar at the surface which is pretty close

    Know what you lot. I’ve known this guy for years. He and I never wished for much. We got on with work and not much else really. We enjoyed immensely the local where a great deal of our work came from. I doubt very much that this will change him in any way no mattter what people might think. I doubt any but his close friends will even know about it. Jok.

    Aye up Sussex. Nice to hear from you. Yes, I realised my minor error but as you you know, no names, no pack drill. Hell of a thrill for my mate though. He went through a storm and has come out of it blazing. Hope all’s well pal. Jok.

    Jon Jon. No kids. No mortgage. Handed over his house and everything else to his ex 3 years ago. Never asked a penny from anyone. He and I had a lovely woodworking business and were well thought of locally. This guy deserved a bit of luck and by gum he got it. Jok.
  15. My best mate just won the big one on a scratch card. Can you believe it . £1.000.000. It could not possibly have happened to a better fella. Fckg brilliant. Jok.
  16. Looking at that pic Charts really made me smile. We did Skipton and nailed 110 rabbits on the day. 5 guys carried them off the moor exactly as in your pic. Hard work.Jok.
  17. Hi pal. Enjoyed the vid. Little dog looks good.Jok.

    Dido1. Yes mate. All true. A bit barbaric but it certainly focuses the mind. Chop square in Jeddah is not the place to be and if you are white you are pushed to the front making sure the message is sent. Look back in our history to see the way that criminals were treated and there is not much difference. OMO. Jok.

    Guys. All this talk about shoplifting and the consequences really break my heart. However. Charts help me here. Jeddah is the place where any criminal activity is punished. I’ve been there and witnessed the carnage. When you are on chop square, as has been said before, there is no remorse. If you are a thief, your hand is removed. If you you are a bigamist then, yep you’ve guessed it. I’ve seen women being buried and stoned to death. This in the middle of Rhiyad. Here we are moaning about what should be done to stop crime. I think maybe we should have a look at proper retribution to all the cr

    Charts. Can you imagine this conversation or the outcome in Jeddah or Rhiyad? Jok.

    This subject is so off target but interesting never the less. A mate of mine has had a look at a diary which was found in the cellar of a house in Melbourne , Derbs. One of the many transcripts was of a guy who was flogged in the market square for wearing a hat beyond his distinction. There are many more. Jok.

    No mate. Just making light of a situation. When I think back it was quite a comedy. Jok.

    Jury service

    Well Charts. The buggers took my car, any belongings within the car, the salmon and to be fair a bit of my dignity not having been caught for quite a few years haha. I don’t actually remember the fine but it was huge for that time. They missed two fish which I retrieved and sold in the local hostelry so not all bad. Jok.

    Jury service

    Slightly of subject. Got caught red handed with a number of salmon. Went to the court. No jury. No predujice. Just the biggest fine handed down to anyone in Scotland. The Sherriff owned the water. Justice. Jok.
