  1. Mate of mine does the same, not sure if he fines them more if they don’t shoot at them, I’ll have to mention to him
  2. Thank god that weeks over, just about to have an early finish and my phone rang, the old girl from the shoot saying two trees had come down across the drive, so off up there to clear them so she could get out, just got home and I’m knackered
  3. You won’t see any white ones with me, I shoot them all, they are the lazy keepers bird of choice because they will tell you where your birds are, and everyone else
  4. Making a bit of progress on the demolition job, I’m struggling at the minute to get on this job and stay on it, got some good scrap coming out of it
  5. I’ve put 750 down this year, normally put 1000 down but I’m trying less birds better feed this year, hoping for 40 to 50 bird days and to pull a few in from other areas by feeding better than the surrounding shoots, its a driven shoot, them members stand one then beat the next, unless you are my guest, then you stand all day I looked at that but it fair old way from me and I’d have to find a nice hotel because I can’t be sleeping in a tent
  6. Quick chicken dinner tonight
  7. We’ve got 7 this season, starting on the 1st of November, if it goes well I might squeeze another day in January
  8. Stinky job today, septic tank top collapsing, drilled the old concrete top, fitted rebar, a new lid and concreted the lot, company came and quoted 14k to replace it with a treatment plant, I’ve fixed it for a few hundred quid
  9. It’s not the first thing I’d of looked for, I’ll give you that
  10. I was a HGV mechanic/electrician for 25 years before I had a midlife crisis and rapped it all in for the outdoor life
  11. This is just a guess but by what the mileage is showing, I would say both rear sensors are open circuit, I would of thought they share an earth so I’d be looking for a broken wire, I had an iveco daily do that but had lost its earth in the ABS module giving the same fault as a broken wire, I’d also check the phonic wheels on the off chance they are both buggered, this is all just guess work
  12. Digging out putting drainage into stables for a wash area, my mate got the outside with the digger, lucky me got the inside hand dig through sandstone, then off to feed my flying chickens
  13. Told to help myself to eggs today so a yorky pud in the shape of toad in da hole tonight
  14. It drives me mad, I make him leave it in the motor, as soon as we’re back in the yard it’s in his hand, I blame the parents, why does a 10 year old even need a phone
  15. I went for chicken and chorizo tagliatelle today, got the trusty blue tray out and had it on my knee in the front room because Mrs Stav is still in London
  16. Bit more weeding and seeding today
  17. That sounds like Mrs Stav, she thinks a Chinese meal is half chips, half egg fried rice and gravy
  18. Nice bottle of Pinot to finish my lazy Sunday off
  19. You don’t put chips with curry, you philistine
  20. Got the curry book out and went to the vegan section, didn’t hold out much hope for it but went for a mushroom masala, it was bloody lovely
  21. Already on it sweetheart, she’ll never know the excesses I’ve indulged in while she’s away
  22. Mrs Stav has tottered off to London to see Oasis for a couple of days, so I’m treating myself to a day in the house on my own, starting of with bacon butty’s and a cup of Yorkshire, might get my curry book out later, see if I can find something I haven’t done yet
  23. Last night, homemade chicken Kiev rapped in Serrano ham with thyme mini roast spuds, I should of cut it open before the picture because the garlic butter made a lovely sauce tonight was a spicy chicken stir fry, it was nice but if I do it again I think I’ll leave the ginger out
  24. I’ve just sat and watched it, it was as good as I thought it would be, the line that stuck with me was “ if you choose drugs over people all you are left with is the drugs” I felt sorry for Denise Richard’s, they had everything and his madness wrecked everything
  25. No weekends off now until February, my birds are coming along nicely and I’m starting to pull a few into the far drives, always nice to get free birds onto the shoot
