Just had a chat with Colin who is happy to have his details out there. You can send the package to him direct. Also, BakerBoy sent me a box and terrier collar for him to work on and I believe they are ready to be returned. All good. So. Mr Colin Benham, Blackberry Court, Maidford Rd, Farthingstone, Northants. NN12 8HE. I’ll not give out his phone number but you can always get that from me off pm. Jok.

Well sir. What I think might be an idea is for me to contact him and make sure he doesn’t mind me giving out address details, after which I’ll pm you and away you go. He is a lovely gentleman who has lived his life in and with electronics and relishes the chance for a challenge. If you missed an earlier post, he has built his own television, computer and currently builds and, I believe, flies his own built model aircraft. Jim Chick is missed greatly as he and I got on really well and helped each other. His daughter decided enough was enough. Will contact Colin now. Jok.

That’s more or less what I’m saying. That is the old/new generation of collars which Deben introduced against the old collar. The Mk1/Mk2 were the grey boxes with the old style aerial cap type collars. These new Mk 3 are not really totally compatible with the 1st generation boxes IMO. Jok.
-
Which boxes are you trying with? The grey boxes are marked Mk1 and Mk2 but we’ve found them to be the same. Also, when Deben introduced micro collars everyone thought things would change. Similarly, the 8ft box works perfectly well with a 15ft collar but only to 8ft. A 15ft box does the same but is used more on deep digs more likely on Charlie. When they introduced the yellow and orange Mk 3 the collars altered and I imagine they didn’t want them to work with the old grey box. I met a guy called Jim Chick (sadly passed) who got well involved in, not only repairs, but also making collars and o

Mate. I genuinely feel for you. I’ve read all the posts since it happened and am saddened. When I lost my younger brother I was inconsolable for a very long time. Now getting onto the cooker request. WHY. Today’s slow cookers and microwaves are absolutely the dogs bollocks. A very very god friend, 78 years young, swears by the things. He will never need to use a cooker again, not only because of the microwave, but because I take him at least 3 meals a week and a dozen eggs. The other week I took him a lovely haunch of venison which he lightly explained that he had prepared it in the MV. I coul

Well guys, this is a heads up. Something I’ve never heard of an d certainly don’t want to hear of again. Didn’t even know where to post it this. I’ve just joined forces with the brother in law on his allotment. I interested him in some of my past experiences regarding soil conditioning etc. One of the subjects we talked about was manure. A great friend of mine supplies me with spent brewers hops which over the years has been absolutely brilliant in the garden. Right. Now the downside. One of the 8 month old labrador pups took a fancy to a meal of said hops. Dead within 6 hours. Guys, google th

Lawn care maintenance.. tips and advice!
jok replied to Bush Rummager's topic in Home Stuff, Building and Leisure
Reading this thread made me think. Some time ago I was putting up a marquee for the geezers wedding when onto the lawn came this robot. I’d arrived a bit early as one does and he was getting everything ready. In his garage he also had one of those spiders like on the golf course. He just programmed it and away it went. Fckg great to watch. Every time it came near a border or an obstacle it stopped and re-routed. None of that forking ffs. Jok. -
Stop touching things you can’t control ffs. Lol. Jok.

I truly am surprised. Never would have thought it. Jok.

Sorry. I didn’t mean to be a no it all which believe me I’m not. What little I’ve learned is that racehorses train on gallops which means they run on grass. I can’t for the life of me see trainers taking there rides on tarmac. These are highly strung animals and I would imagine anything other than the norm would spook them. Only my opinion. Jok

Pesky. Again I totally agree with the concept of ‘it’s a lottery’ but having a closer look, most people view the National as a let’s pick a number from a hat and rejoice when, lo and behold, they have the winner and £20.00 from the results. I looked at at the financial gains to the owners, trainers and jockeys and realise that the reverse is true. The question still is, who are you choosing to win The National. Jok.

Last year I would have agreed with you Chart. However, life moves on and TV has not done anyone any favours. I got in with 3 mates, one of whom is an avid follower and got slightly sucked in. It certainly will not rule my life but must admit to having taken an interest in the background, breeding, history of the courses, etc, etc. As I said, Cheltenham was massive for me and interested or not there is a way to quietly ‘make a few Bob’ if you are not silly. I also agree that possibly, next to tipping point and badminton, must be the most boring thing on the screen. On an aside, knowing you have

I’ve a couple needing a new home. Pm me if interested and I’ll measure them and send a pic. Jok.
-
Yes I know but it has come round again. Personally I had a huge result at Cheltenham for which I’m right happy. Her indoors spent the lot but the results are to everyone’s benefit. Now then. Done a little Lucky 15 at Aintree today and need Number 13 to come in and I’m in clover yet again. Question is. What are you lot doing in the Big One on Saturday? I’m thinking Cloth Cap all day long but what are your thoughts? Jok.

Permission to shoot vermin with air rifle wanted
jok replied to murphy boy's topic in New Member Introductions
If you can find a rabbit please let the rest of the country know and we’ll all join you. Jok. -
Dessyb. Not absolutely sure but have a new contact who is trying some bits for me ref Mk1 box and collar. If he gets his head round it he’ll be the man I reckon. Where in Derbs are you as I am at Ashby de la Zouch. Jok.
-
2 new knees, new hip and right shoulder. After that there’s plenty needing a bit of help. Jok
-
Hi guys. Personally not interested in airgunning but notice a few of you guys getting cylinders to charge your rifles. I have a 10 litre cylinder, out of test, 232 bar, available. Down side is I live in South Derbs so you would need to collect. If interested please pm me. Jok.
-
Is the clue in, either the tall trees with lots of nests, the amount of crap on the undergrowth or the shell itself? Corvid and Rook in particular spring to mind. Jok.
-
I think Fred is mistaken. IMO. The z relates to the weight of nylon as on ounces. Mr Ketchum will put us right I expect. Jok.
-
May I be a knob . Why , apart from the obvious, would anyone need or want an orange box? The thing never leaves your hand when out working. Jok.
-
Just an ask. Gold or silver pheasant poults available as a trio please and price. Pick up in the Derbyshire area.

Looking at it yet gain, what the heck was he thinking? At this level he knew the game was over with a touch kick? All the better for our lads however. Jok.
