  1. Certainly not me, but Dan the man took it home in the van, the cups resting in Wales for a year with Daniel caine
  2. I no there,s a fishing thread but many don't go there or care so I,ll put my little piece here for all to see, especially those who may be a bit new here and a bit apprehensive about meeting a load of strangers in the middle of no were, i certainly never had any intentions of going but after one or two people i,ve met asked me to attend I bit the bullet and threw my hat in the ring, I thought I was going fishing for 4 days and never had a clue what I was entering I was Ill prepared having just thrown my fishing gear in the van and heading for Devon with DC who I'd met once before, everyone I
  3. I,,m looking out on the m5 bridge at avonmouth and the traffic is flowing pretty well at the moment but will be chockablock by about 2
  4. Just waiting for DC to arrive and I,m all loaded and ready to hit the road, anyone else coming over the Severn bridge there,s been an accident and its down to one lane so be prepared for a bit of a wait c u all soon ??
  5. Had a little bit of interest in the old starship so for anyone interested here's a few I,ve made for others and if you don't have an old crutch you can simply cut it from ply like the two on the right in the group photo, I would also like to add this is not a toy so don't leave youngsters unsupervised with it and always use responsibly with a good backstop ?.
  6. I,m not sure he,s quite an interesting old boy he,s 67 and was going on a 700 mile canoe trip, he,s also done the amozon and lots of others as well he has a little camper and travels in Europe quite a bit as well
  7. Think a good air rifle would do it mate
  8. I will try to contact the guy may take a while in Canada at the mo ?
  9. Say a little prayer ??
  10. In short not guilty, don't know if you can buy them I make them from old crutch,s if you go onto you tube the Americans call them starships, made famous by an old boy called blue skeen who could shoot the tits off a knat with it, and lastly it was probably a stray gunshot if it was that loud as the reason for using a catty is stealth ?
  11. I think the majority of thylosene sightings are mangy fox,s, I had one on my last camera card change it had been out for about 5/6 weeks and you could see the hair loss creeping up the tail every few days as it passed the camera, if your sister is interested a mate of mine has a litter of Cubs under his decking every year, last year they got mange and he found a site online that would send you a remedy free of charge, he had to put it in jam sandwhich,s and leave it out for them (apparently the reason for jam was only fox,s will eat it ??) and it did clear up the mange, though I think it would
  12. There's a plank of wood over a stream that would have been the way to the pens in years gone by its now almost reclaimed by the woods but is used as a crossing point for the badger fox,, roe and munti,s that live in the woods his shelter was about 20 metres in from it and only a few feet off a major run leading to it so I expect it got quite lively as night fell, ?
  13. Fair play to your mate that's special, I fly fish for pike it's exciting as feck if you can't afford to go after the trevely, have also caught most other course fish on flys over the years including carp on imitation dog biscuits made from deer hair ?
  14. If your new to it mate get a multi grip catty that takes tubes and flats like the wasp uniphox or the pro shot bloodshot, they are cheap enough not to worry about to much and are both good starters when you decide what your personal preference is and are,nt hitting chunks out of the forks buy something a bit special like a Romany customs catty or a bill Hayes pocket predator but remember a good catty won't make you a good shot that only comes from practice ?
  15. as long as I can remember every kid only needed a forked tree branch and an inner tube to do damage and even kill the odd unfortunate bird, the old Denise the menace type characters always had one in the back pocket,very easy to conceal and cost nothing if you have to throw it so would be a really hard one to ban and then enforce a ban, the biggest improvement in modern catty shooting is not the catty,s but the abundance of 9-10-11- and 12mm ball bearings being sold for £10 per 1000 without them many would struggle to hit a barn door, I think air rifles will be first before they try to ban cat
  16. Funny when I smashed all the showroom Windows through in a well known kitchen company,s head office with my heavy duty catty because they failed to pay me for my services I never even got a mention nor the following week when I went back and did all the new ones they had just fitted, I wonder if that counts as racial discrimination ?
  17. Little update, sorry to go on but it did weird me out a bit which even I can't work out myself, any ways I think I,ve put it to rest now having found a small shelter in the woods there is no signs of anyone having slept in it but if you ran out the woods in darkness and panicked you would end up on the path in the same spot I found the bag, the square of mud was were a 25kgbag was laying that is now in the shelter indicating it has been moved in the last week so I,m happy that our bear gryl,s has done a runner soon after building his house but without unpacking his bag then dropped it on the

    Jogging!

    Unless it's vertical it's not making a lot of difference then we got to get back up the f****r afterwards, take up swimming or cycling your not a small lad and all you,ll do is f**k your joints up when you do hit your Autumn years
  19. Only you can answer that, but personally I,d take a flatband gangster grip catty all day over a Barnet find the tube a bit heavy but very easy to convert to a sling bow if you ever fancy one, if your unsure what your after have a look at catapult carnage on utube he does some good revues on most of the more popular makes cheers goodluck and welcome ?

    Jogging!

    And 50,s when you concede that non of its coming back ?
  21. Pretty much like you I,m on my iPad now but hate the amount of time it seems to consume from my life, I have a very basic pay as you go phone and this is the only forum or site I use apart from watching stuff on YouTube so I,m not massively dependant on gadgets I like older motors that don't need a computer to fix them and this little cottage in the brecons was my ideal of heaven no wifi, no phone Signal, water from a bore hole and the only thing I would change would be to replace the diesel generator with solar, if I was,nt fishing thl charity match this weekend I would be back over there enj
  22. Well if bjs does get in the ring with demtres boo boo Andre as his next fight you may not have to wait that long mate, he,s a bit of a beast ?

    Scrap men

    My last old tipper, cost me £900 in 2011 sold for £200 when I pulled it out the ditch last year, it put £24.000 through my books during that time, best value for money motoring you,ll ever get ?
  24. Well that's what I,m looking for in there, there have been a few sightings by the farm workers and the girls that ride horses, so maybe I,ll be sticking up pictures of a hollowed out human next ??
