I saw someone doing lawn treatment a while back, he turned up with a spray pack on his back, it could of contained water for all anyone new or cared, went in every garden in the street I was working in spent around 10 mins spraying the garden and moved on, being always on the look out for a nice little earner I got chatting with him, he said it was a weed and feed solution and he charges £15 per application, he does it for all his customers, then they pay him to mow the lawn once a month as well after they have payed him to make it grow faster, it's like the shop at the top of the hill sketch

As people get more state dependent and think everything can be solved with an app, people willing to get dirty and graft for a living will have some good years ahead, and even the humble window cleaner can charge what he wants as modern man is to busy worrying how to climb a ladder in skinny jeans or if the wind will ruin his hair if he ever gets to the top, we even have the old fashioned milkman making a comeback around here,

This fella was locked on a balcony in a tower block in a shit part of town for 9 months, before he was stolen by some well meaning person who then dumped him on someone else that lost interest after two minutes and he had a shed in a garden for the following 9 months, here he is three years on with his forever owner me,he first walked on grass at nearly 2 years old, so I agree with the first person to answer you,find him a good home and say he ran off, sadly it's the life of many dogs it's just not nice as its being shoved in your face and you clearly have more conscience than its owners, hope

What part of the country you in mate, I know a few of the cider makers in and around Somerset sell the barrels, I guess there are other sources like distillery,s if your in Scotland or Ireland, though I recon it would work out just as cheap to just buy a load of tongue and groove and knock something up yourself in an arc shape

The old jimney is the Morris minor of modern motors, millions made and they will be on our roads for years to come, that thing at the top is to spread it's appeal to the USA I would suggest, though they should fit just one seat if it's as small as the old model to accommodate one lard arse and a supersize premium deluxe monster chicken meal with fries and a gallon of extra fizzy double sugar drink

The amount of skid marks in my Chud,s would have the opposite effect and boil the water, handy if you want a cup of tea ?

Be proud mate, you,ve earned the right to wear your underpants over your trousers for a few days,enjoy it ?

Now there,s a shock, you don't seem like the type of person to just go on there to argue and annoy people, ??

That's good because I done what I thought was a rather impressive tuck and roll through the living room window, they had put a frying pan on full of fat with a plastic spatula left in it then forgot they were cooking dinner and took a seat in the sun, totally oblivious to all the smoke billowing out,

You may be right as it seemed to be under the grass, I had a lurcher and two terriers with me so I understand your emotions ?

When I was a kid a school mate was drowned in about 5ft of water when the person he tried to save pulled him under with him and drowned them both, always a risk in water mate even if it is only predatory fish ?

Quite a strange thing happened to me this morning when I was out on an early mooch, due to the current heatwave been getting out a bit earlier to avoid the heat and on my way back to the van around 9am I encountered a badger out and about, after a couple of interesting minutes getting the dogs on there leads I parted the long grass to see what all the fuss was about and there was a black and white face looking up at me he turned away and carried on through the hedge into the woods, but in over 40 years of being out and about its the first one I,ve ever encountered in broad daylight so was won

I think people that stop and think will never jump in, some are wired up different to others, a few weeks back I ran into a house that was on fire and got an old couple out who had dementia, put out the fire and called there daughter I then went back and finished plastering the house two doors along that I had been working on when my labourer had noticed the smoke pouring from the Windows, I never thought anything about it until my misses found out and went mad at me for being so selfish as I,d risked my own life to save them, but it never entered my head for a moment, then the family tried to

I,d be frightened to put anything on that its better than any car I,ve owned, smiley transits with ply wood greedy boards or iveco,s with hiabs for proper tatters, that thing will cost more than it earns, nice van though ?

So did I until it became unfashionable here to wear a fur coat, I also have a watch of him when I,m in the bath mate and quite enjoy it, also quite like mantracker with terry grant as a bath time watch

bit of a hangover this morning so, you will have to go back and look yourself, look for born hunters contribution as he is a scientist and explained it much better than me, you'll have to put the link up you are talking about as you have put a few up and I,m not going back through it all I,m afraid,

I,ve found a few rabbits eaten by buzzards and they have a very distinct method, they make a small hole behind the front leg and pull all the internal organs out through it they also leave the rumin bag to one side, after that they go in through the ass end leaving a hollowed out glove puppet type of carcass, would imaging most raptors would go about it similarly I,ll try and dig out a vid if it helps ?

I remember the big crash in the early 90,s I think when all the lads headed for Germany, prior to that I was working 12hour days 6/7 days a week had a gang of lads working for me, left home before my kids were up got home when they were in bed and thought I was doing great, after the interest rates hit 15 percent and every other house was repossessed all my mates were in Germany, I got a little maintenance job and thought what the f**k were those last years all about and since that time I value my free time and family more than anything in the world and just do enough to live now,, with as muc

Feck all wrong with Bristol mate, can be on the brecons,mendips,Devon beaches or Cotswolds in an hour and a day on the ale round the harbour side is hard to beat in summer, my only grief is the traffic as I,m on a main road into the center but ten minutes in the opposite direction and I,m in the fields, which is quite satisfying when I,m heading out with the dogs in the morning looking at all the sad faces going the opposite way, I get sad when I see fields and woods I used to hunt over becoming houses, but we're is,nt that happening apart from Scotland so here I,ll stay for now ?
-
There are many weird and wonderful people involved and mad or sane all the stuff that each of us submit is examined by science so our personal beliefs don't count for anything, I even talk with vegetarians who think hunting is horrendous but as long as we are all pulling in the same direction and handing our findings in, it's all good apart from Danny nineham who is a true conman ?

I,m not a vet or expert in anyway regarding animal diseases cause and effect, but if I had to hazzard a guess I would suggest everything that's happening abroad will eventually happen here but as populations are still very small and somewhat segmented I think the spread and effect of disease would also be minute and as yet not caused any real conflict, for Mackem clearly you now have your Jonathan's a looney stance so everything he says is a lie but I have also found things around the outskirts of my own major city that makes me think that they are getting closer to towns and city,s, as they

Last post for a while by the looks of it, but what a lot of people are also failing to take into consideration is how diseases like rabies and distemper affect these cats in there native lands and a lot of the attacks being shown are sick animals, there was a documentary on tv last week about cats, from Siberian Tigers to Pumas in the states that had lost there fear of people came into towns and attacked people all of them had canine distemper or some simular infection, but why let the truth ruin a good story hey, ?
