everything that comes over the boundary is yours including roots, my friend had a simular situation with a large tree on his neighbours side of the boundary, it was big,old and a danger to my mates property, but the guy next door would not let him touch it, so after digging a trench inside my mates fence all the roots were chopped off as we're all the branches that crossed the line, you have to offer them to the neighbor as they are his property, I don't think he wanted them judging by the language used, then during the next big storm it fell across the neighbours garden and not my mates house

I`m gonna buy you a beer one of these days Mac. They mentioned fitting a BSA piston head seal shaved down which is not for me. The airgun spares site is selling genuine parts and made replacement parts, so now she stands a very good chance of staying with me. Only one beer twat ! mate I just bought an end of ptfe bar about 9" long for a fiver off eBay and made loads of piston heads just get one the same size as the internal of the cylinder then slice it up into the thickness you want, it's very

I had a little whippet cross back in the 80s that was a master at catching squirrel, they normally run up the tree to a safe height then turn round and start chattering, she mastered a tequniqe were she ran flat out after the squirrel and as they stopped to turn she would hit the trunk and shoot upwards grabbing them off the trunk in the process, I never took it really serious, just on walks in the local wood her best trip was five squirrels in a couple of hours, she also went to ground and would quickly kill a fox on here own, I paid £2.50 for her in the local dog pound, and back in the days

i,m a bit of a Landy purist and I think, that thing like most modern Landy,s would be left wanting against a proper 101 ,I think the beauty of the original series 1-2-3 and the 101 was the fact they could be repaired at the side of the road if they ever did break down, were as a modern one has to be fixed by a technician with a diagnostics computer and a van full of spare parts, landrover ceased making proper Landy,s after the 200tdi defender, from there on it was all down hill, if you want to go fast get a sports car but if you want to go anywhere get a proper landrover I thought the 300tdi w

Bought The Fwb Sport Mk1 .22 Cal
Greyman replied to mark williams's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Thanks for the kind words, To be fair it was so knackered when I got it, there was nothing to lose, I might not have been so bold if it was worth saving, the metalwork was rusty, the barrel bent and it was doing around 6ft,lb it was also given me free, it was good to try before I try it on an hw80 which I,ve always fancied doing, cheers -

Hmm, there's a thought I sold my old Mercury Challenger to a biker - I might go see if he still lives at the same address but, it was 20 yrs ago. I'd love to have that one back. never had a challenger so I made one even better, it bangs out 11.5lb with five coils removed from the spring I,ve honed the cylinder made a ptfe piston head,top hat ,Spring guide and opened up the breech port, it was about 2mm it's now tapered from inside from around 6mm down to 3.5mm i also cut the barrel down and recrowned it then fitted a vortex silencer it is smooth and quick and at 25 meters it's almost pellet -

. If you have time get a rummage on around your local charity shops, a lot of elder people require a stick and when they pass on it usually ends up in a house clearance down at the local charity shop, some of them have a big box full of them, usually the normal wooden crook type, but the odd nice one ,good luck with the knee and the stick hunt

Who forced you to read it all? if people have a valid point or some useful information I,m all ears, I,m not a leftie or a righty, I have know religion, and my family are as ethnically diverse as you can get I,m open to all intelligent arguments from every side, but sadly your blinkered political leanings are blinding your opinions and killing what could have been an interesting topic, know one forced me to read anything but I hung on in hope, now after ten pages of shite from your good self, I'm not only loosing hope, but the will to live also, I,m sure I,m not alone, so I thought I would a

Do Russian and Syrian airstrikes not displace people and create refugees then? Earlier you were quite happy to accept those displaced by airstrikes as collateral damage, seems you're the one who's relaxed with the idea of creating more refugees...About as much as western air strikes don't you agree???It's part of war yes, do I want then coming to this country? Do I fcuk..... Why the need to let them in here? Plenty of nearby western armed countries nearby to escape to don't you agree??? The Russian and Syrian airstrikes are more concentrated on areas with large civilian populations and ther

I still watch him on utube, he has done shows in other country's as well, supermarket sprint reminds me of being chased around by store detectives as a kid and I still piss my self laughing everytime I see it

personally I think the west is arming every raving looney in the desert to overthrow Assad without getting there hands dirty, and Russia are helping an elected leader as written in most of the war law books, we have deliberately caused the unrest from Iraq,Afghanistan, Egypt and Libya, and if we are successful in Syria we will move onto Iran, and who knows what will happen when the heavily armed by us, Kurds turn there attention on the land along the Syrian Turkish border that they wish to call home, it's a frecking mess and the blame is firmly at our feet, sorry but that's my ten pence worth

. One of the biggest causes in my opinion is frecking badgers, I wander far and wide on my travels and the one thing that is clear to me is the more badgers on the land the less hares, I,ve also seen the growth of badger populations decimate areas once rich in hares, leverets are just eaten before they have a chance to stand up, a lot of these shoots though not legal and never talked about still gas badger sets and that's why they are running alive with hares, simples

i,ve said it before on this subject, but get out and knock on farmers doors, it's a lot harder to say know when you are stood there than it is to ignore an email or letter , I,ve even gone out on the land when they are working and asked them, a day of door knocking will normally secure you one or two perms,

I wear army trousers all the time, main reason is there is something in them that stops shit from sticking to them, I am in general a scruffy man and seem to find dirt even in places dirt does not excist so a pair of trousers that just brush off when dry is a must, but I still get peppered by mozzies more than most people around me,

I am totally unemployable to a firm and have been most of my life, I have raised three kids put one through uni, bought a house own several vehicles and live a relatively comfy life, the answer is just hard graft, if your not shy of work you will be ok, I have a tipper I collect scrap in, I sell shit on eBay, I do plastering, and work a day a week in a scaffolding yard clearing up and greasing fittings, I,m in my mid 50,s and the last proper job I had was in 93 for two years, if your a cleaner get some flyers printed and go cleaning, all you need is a Henry, some polish and a rocket up your a

i have a pair nest in the garden every year, they are nice to see and hear, but when I was a young man they were great fun to shoot in the areas around the docks because even if you were a shit shot you would hit one even if it was not the one you were aiming at, they lived in a massive area of waste land just outside the dock gate, also used to shoot the ferals and sell the rings to the pigeon club, I think we got around 20/30p per ring which paid for our pellets so we could shoot more, even the docks in the centre of Bristol which are now full of trendy flats and wine bars, we could spend al

they turned them into shit same as everything else in the areas they converge on
-
when the docks near me imported a lot of grain the trees in the area were white with them,there were literally tens of thousands of them, but have,nt seen them in those numbers for many years as coal and cars seem less attractive to them and that's what comes in through the docks nowadays, so I guess they have all fecked off to yours now

I can get the damson but the walnut I'd have to pay for is the nut a seed from which the tree grows, if so can you not just plant a walnut? I have four walnut trees on my foraging radar, will have a look when I next go by and see if there are any saplings underneath them if so I will try and get one up if you want it, though one of them is in a grave yard so don't really want to start digging around that one

Anybody Have Step By Step For Making Naturals
Greyman replied to astraman1's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
I only cut forks in January and February because there is less moisture and toxins in the wood, I mostly cut from hazel bush,s unless I see something special, and I never get a split in the wood, as soon as the sap rises at the start of March the wood is likely to split, it's the same with walking stick shafts, January is the month to gather wood, if you have some forks you can give them a two minute blast in the microwave to drive the moisture out and season the wood artificially, that's about it for my forks, I will be out cutting again after Christmas, it only takes a few hours to get a box
