  1. Possibly the best, last minute try, in history. Well done Wales however. Jok.
  2. This made me chuckle. I know one guy who is going to respond and I’ll bet he’s chuckling more than me. Jok
  3. Must admit to being a beer monster. As mentioned somewhere in here earlier I have a local brewer who literally makes what I want. The order generally, a brown beer at about 4.5/5.00 abc. He tries me on all sorts though an because I can have from 3ltrs to 70ltrs it isn’t a problem. A few of the guys slip round once or twice a week to make sure things are up to scratch. Consensus? Keep the really strong ales for an occasion and keep serving middle of the road. Tap house Brewery. Burton on Trent. Jok.

    Out and out blatant liars. Jok.
  5. Memory is a strange thing, however, when I ran the shoot, we had one silky sitting 17 partridge eggs and another 13 pheasant eggs. So, on that 7 to 9 duck eggs or 9 to 11 game bird eggs. If you are wondering why the odd numbers, it was advice from an old hand who did exceptionally well with his American game birds. Some guys on here may know the nam Ray Arkle who was publican of the Crown Inn, Appleby Magna, Leics. He said something along the lines of the way the bird turned the eggs during incubation vein the key. Might be a right load of crap but who know jo
  6. As a former diver I find those old suits totally amazing yet frightening at the same time. When you look at weight distribution, and yes the weight is lead, it’s a wonder they did their job. The idea was to get down to your work as soon as was safely possible and literally get hauled back to the surface by the boat crew. Very brave people. Jok.

    Ehup Sussex. You helped me once before for which I’m very grateful. Kent is a bit of a stretch but postage might be an option .how can we do this? Jok.

    Looking further the pic of you and your mates, together with your fighting boots says much. Jok.

    Personally I like the wee man with the serious piece of kit. Very nice. Jok.
  11. Dido is right. Now that I think back it is in Wigtown. Sorry guys. Nevertheless what a wonderful little bookshop if still there. Jok.
  12. There’s a great little bookshop in NEWTON STEWART, Dumfries and Galloway, don’t know the name but worth a search. Good luck. Jok.
  13. If only this request had been a bit ago. Big Bev Chapman from Appleby Magna was the man to know. He and his son were inseparable and we we spent a lot of hours on both the Wash and Solway. Myself, Bev, Stuart, Rich Starkey, Graham Hogg, John Bailey, Martin Windridge, Martin Rose and a few I can’t remember. Geeez they were the days. If I can recall a morning, please forgive me but my gut is already bursting. Big Bev lead us out in pitch blackness warning no lights gentlemen please. We had to scale a dyke bridge of about 12 inches and about 3 yards. A voice, reasonably quiet in total darkness,
  14. Baker Boy. Empty your inbox pal. Jok.

  15. Hi Wayne. Tried to contact you a few times not related. You have my number. Jok.
  16. Hi Sam. You know me very well as Mr Ward was your boss. Still speak to Dom. Jok.
  17. Well Samlowe. At the top of Rectory Lane where it meets Measham Road there is a spinner on the left. That was the location and incidentally have seen more than one. Jok.
  18. Gripper. If you don’t know how to skin an animal properly then you have a problem. A butcher generally is working with a carcass, not a kill. There is a world of difference in my opinion. Jok.
  19. Micky. Are we talking wine here as those quantities, mainly the sugar content, would surely make a liquor rather than a wine. JMO. I do the same but with gin, vodka, whisky and a few others. As Arry says and I concur, have used strawberry, gooseberry, black cherry, damson and of course sloe. The lads never want to leave my place when I break open a bottle. Oldest is 2014. Jok.
  20. I’m certainly not in the North East but I can highly recommend any course of this type. I did mine with a guy from near Donnington race circuit and a follow up with a guy at Cannock Chase. You see everything and get to appreciate the equipment required to make life easier but also more efficient with the carcass, be it fur or feather. Good luck in your quest. Jok.

    Crikey, that fell on deaf ears. Come on you lot. Help me out here. Jok.
  22. And you son. I’ve just txd Colin and he can’t wait to have a look. Jok.
  23. I’ve left you a pm mate. Let me know what you’ll do please? Jok.
  24. You aren’ receiving any messages. Inbox must be chocker. Is it the grey knocker box and has it a collar. He’ll need both to calibrate it. Jok.
  25. I mentioned a bit ago that I have found a fella who should be able to repair boxes and collars. He needs a guinea pig to get started so if anyone has a box. That needs looking at please pm me or reply to this thread. He lives near Northampton. Cheers. Jok.
