I started carping in 1990 mate had my first thirty a couple of years ago, I,ve fished rivers and canals out of the way for most of the time, but thought I better join the club so went up the monument and had one, also a good time for catty practice when your sat by the water for days on end, my mates lake must be lined with steel balls from days of winter boredom

I have bolted a hare from a land drain with terriers when such things were considered acceptable, quite a surprise when your expecting a fox to pop out, have also seen a few in boggy ground when there was far nicer grassland around them, had a hare run up to my border Russell cross and start boxing around it in March, and had one run into my legs when the dogs were on it, that's about all my strange hare encounters and all took place in the early 80s when I could

I go a bit soft and because the wife's not feeling great at the moment I carried her down the stairs to make my breakfast, what a gent

but we should be changing to a wind turbine a solar panel and a teslar battery, but we won't because no one will tell you how or give you a hand getting off the ground because they are making to much money selling out of date technology to you and lining there pockets, and reading a set of guidelines drawn up by the very people robbing me does not make me feel anymore reassured, share holders equal price rises

I don't buy from dangkung but use the equivalent to1745, I really like it but the size of the loop you make at the forks makes a massive difference, a single strand on a pickle fork but a loop of one third band length on my normal catty shoots 10mm steels lovely, were as I have a full length double on another one and that fires 12mm leads with ferocious power but the hand slaps are equally ferocious, so I would say a loop of one third is my favourite all rounder, if you make the loop with a piece of tube slid over instead of tuck and wrap you can adjust the loop size with a bit of spit and a g

I recon that's just me and you then mate, I,m old and fecked so I only work two or three days a week which gives me two days were I just wander round in the wilderness with my dogs doing a bit of whatever I want, I have a catty in most coat pockets two hanging up in the tipper and a bag of ammo in most coats to, i always fire a few shots into the coppices before I enter to give the deer a heads up because my dog has a distinct dislike for them and in the valley I spend a lot of my time there are many eyes looking down on me, so they do have many uses apart from getting lunch or cutting tins in

I get your thinking but why does it have to have a left wing solution? If energy companies are all having secret meetings to inflate the value of their products then it leaves the market wide open for competitors to enter and the government should do anything they can to stimulate that and prosecute the cartel. If they can't then why would they do any better job of running it themselves? Better yet, if this accusation has any legitimacy buy shares in any or all of the Big Six! They have to go up in value because they control the market right? yet a quick search for the 5 year share pri

I had our meters read a couple of weeks ago and the meter reader was telling me not to get the new smart meters fitted as they are the same as the ones in the USA and have been linked to lots of illness's,apparently they emit radiation and you cannot read them from outside as they tell you, I will not be getting them fitted, you are legally within your rights to refuse them, your only obligation is to have a meter,it doesn't matter what type, WM and for the privalidge of giving you a small dose of radiation on a daily basis it will cost every home £360 roughly to get them fitted, the only rea

if you go to your local stream or foreshore if your near the coast an hour with a bucket will get you a load of small round pebbles that are pretty good and free I use them with square or Barnett type bands

it's proshot mate,the bloodshot is a model, not to be confused with the eBay seller of the same name, the time of year is massively important when your collecting forks and most other woods, January and February is when the wood has less moisture and toxins in it, as soon as the sap starts rising at the end of Feb the wood is likely to split, I,ve used hazel all my life and never had one split, I also cut a load of hazel sticks to dry out for the stick makers as they take around three years to season and most of them can't be assed so I have a rotation system for drying so I have a load to se

I know what you mean, he is the man and it would be nice to own an original made by him, I,m probably going to order myself a scorpion from him in the not to distant future and as I already have more catty,s than enough I am prepared to wait if I have to

I found a bit of cloth gun wrap tape made quite an improvement on the grip but snap cracking catty

yes that's me I pop in for a look now and then, I think they are a bit further forward in the states regarding the whole slingshot scene than we are though we are catching up fast, people like blue skeen and ruffus hussey were the reason we are were we are today I think and some of the lads on YouTube now are taking it to another level, I guess the Internet is to thank for things like that, if your on the slingshot forum you can ask bill on there what's the delivery time going to be, he's very honest just a victim of his own success some times I think, have never heard anyone say a bad word ab
-
I know I will get slagged for saying it but proshot do make a few of his more popular models and you will get it in 24hrs were as bill makes them to order and they will take a while to get to you plus you may get hit for import tax, unless you can get him to mark the box as a gift, I have a hathcock target sniper from proshot and its sound only thing I think bills come banded up were as the proshot only send the fork,

sadly mate as long as the energy company,s are owned by share holders, they expect an increase on there money every year, so us poor saps bills go up every year even though the cost stays the same to the company, it's one of the few things I think should of remained nationalised, so we pay only for the fuel and not to line some fat b*****ds pockets

checked your page. nice work. now what would consider a good type for general use.for a left handed old fogeyif your not an experienced shooter forget plywood catty,s, they will fall to bits after 2/3 fork hits, they may look the bollacks but don't last, sorry to nick if that's his business but in my experience, ply catty,s are great for those making them but not for people buying, a proshot bloodshot is £25 made from solid ally and will last a lifetime, fires flats or tubes,left or right handed and in any grip you like and in my opinion is the best starter catty out there, i feel a bit bad fo

I read something years ago about the navy,s use of sonar buggering up the whales own sonar system and that's why even if they put them back they just turn round and do it again ?

I,d pack up and foff tomorrow given the chance, main problem is by the time we grow old enough and wise enough to realise just how shit life on the treadmill is we have a lot of baggage weighing us down and the roots that hold us in place have gotten to deep and spread to far, if I was a younger man I would be gone before all of the ties we make through life got to strong, now all I can do is sit here crying watching the last Alaskans on the discovery channel

madly and sadly there are torch forums were people actually spend there life's pimping torch,s, it's a sad place to be but you can learn a lot if you just pop in then get out quick before you become one of them and start fitting regulators and shit to your torch

If any of you have a Costco card they sell very simular torch,s in packs of two for £22 I have a couple and they do throw a beam a long way and battery life is great as they have the Cree chip in rather than an led bulb, it's more than powerful enough to mount on a gun have even lamped a few bunny,s round the local golf course with the dog, here's a piccy for the picture lovers the milk carton is for scale I also have a led lensor p7 with a gun mount, these are a little more expensive about £40.00 on Amazon but are another fantastic bit of kit and used by the police in America which is quite a

nice reading wagon, my family come from the Romney marshes, then my great gran married into a Romany family so I,m a bit of each very dark skin not much hair but when I did it was dark and curly, I have a cousin that still lives in Essex and has also traced our family back for many generations, I would like to see my family tree, but the only time I see my cousin is at a funeral these days and it does not seem the right time to ask, it's nice to have a bit of history, FairPlay to you for keeping yours

just tell him to get a pressure washer in the gap from time to time and maybe a bit of wax oil, the japs have always been fantastic engineers, but under sealing and rust prevention have never been a strong point even on there cars,
