  2. And they have the silkiest most strokeable ears (I'm not a girl, I promise). I like dogs ears.
  3. Pot kettle black; I've seen that welding photo!!!
  4. I hope to look as important as you one day Stav! ?
  5. Yay or nay? Is there a minimum pond size to just having nesting sites? Cheers
  6. Went out for pigeons today, but ended up with one lowly squizzer. Mine was with 12bore though, so I'll spare you the picture!!
  7. So as a newby, in real life terms what do they actually mean?
  8. I'd say a lab bitch. Your missus is nervous of other peoples large dogs, sure shed be fine with your family dog she's cuddled from 9 weeks old??
  9. Cheers fellas. The shop called me back saying it is a 22". I'd rather the short barrel, mainly like stav & flattop says with sound mod in mind. Definitely getting synthetic though I do really like laminate but £££. Wait for my CF! Mr Sausage, I'm not falling into that pun riddled, double enténdre trap!!
  10. Now then, As I'm waiting for mr postie to bring my section1 I've been visiting gun shops (naturally!) and have decided on a t-bolt. My question is that effects barrels length has on the gun? I'm accustomed to how length effects shotgun but obviously won't be swinging rifle. Is it purely shorter are easier logistically in vehicles etc? Does short barrel flip more? Question 2 rather t bolt specific; do they just come in 16.5" & 22" barrel? I ask as local shop reckons there tbolt is 19" barrel.... Cheers
  11. Sounds like a right can of worms that mate. Apply for your section2, cheap 2nd hand semi auto and get some insurance.
  12. Quick skim read, I had to re-read; worried why (and who's) turtlehead you were watching!!
  13. Honestly, I worked with pigs for 5 years, managing two units, both more than 3000 sows.... put me off pork for a loooonnnggg time!! But nah, love a bacon butty!!
  14. I once got trampled by 70 odd cull sows. Loading lorry, all on then they decided they having none of it, all streaming back off, trying to hold them on with board but sheer weight knocked me on back. Pigs ran right over me, luckily only for 5 seconds before another lad dragged me out. Cut me black & blue though and fright of my life. Effing hate pigs!
  15. I'm on another forum too, about watching pigeons.... Someone on there suggested to me if I prefer THL I'm either a gypsy or a chav. Better than being a twať I told him.
  16. Absolutely on the money SL and Si. I'm in same boat; was bunking off school before leaving primary just to do anything outdoors. My dad was a keen hill walker & growing up in snowdonia was a privilege with him showing me every track possible. He taught me all about bird ID and animal tracking. But my dad not into country sports at all. My uncle took me feretting & he started a lifong interest in running dogs. Like everyone else I got air rifle (break barrel cometa) at 10 and shotgun at 17. Started helping with lambing at 11 and I've only missed two lambing seasons in over 20 years
  17. Good on ya mate. I regularly make myself stop & just appreciate what I've got. I know exactly what you mean about the sounds & feeling content you've done a good job. For me the noise that evokes that is when a ewe starts chattering to her newborn as she's cleaning it. 20 years and still I love it.
  18. Why the confused face Gav, oxygen starvation muddled your head??
  19. We have honda trx 500. Abused every day, never let me down. But it is kept clean & tidy
  20. Big thanks to everyone who commented & gave advice. All went well today. Not granted open but he did give 'advice' how I could get open before the 5 years. Cleared for fox and ALQ. Absolute gent FEO, very easy to talk to & question. Just wait for cert to drop through letterbox now, like a kid waiting for Christmas!! Thanks again all, some top blokes on here.
