  1. Reminds me of the computation Plummer once did in a shooting news article showing how many rabbits would need to be caught to pay off a profit hunters average sized mortgage,I think in the same article he mentioned the large numbers caught by an itinerant scottish forestry worker called Lakin or larkin

    on tv now

    Never saw the program,glad I didnt to be honest,the one thing,probably the best thing we can pass onto our kids is education,if my kids couldnt read and write I would feel I had failed them,times are changing,chinese and indian kids are cram-schooling,their grasp of math,english and science is frightening,the employment market of the future is going to be incredibly competitive.I remember wanting to go to uni when I was 16,my old man said dont be stupid,get a job One of my kids wants to be a vet,one vacillates between being a doctor or a saturation-diver I would gladly spend the rest of my
  4. Anything with a high % of Deet.
  5. Beautiful pics,saw a red kite this morning in Chertsey high street,my mate thought it was a buzzard till it came closer.
  6. Biggest I ever had was 28Lb,I got around 120 fish that weekend,a 70+ deserves respect,just to see it swim off would be reward enough,incredible fish.
  7. Thats a fish,wouldnt mind seeing a photo when they are available.
  8. I have some pics of Asils on a USB stick in a bag in the loft somewhere,I will rake around for it when I get the chance.

    I used to visit a pub/restaurant in Manila as Freddy Aguilar plays there live,great music while eating,the place is called "The Hobbit House" every single member of staff is a dwarf,waiters,chefs,the manager,all of them are tiny,good job I dont drink or I would imagine I was in lilliput,great place
  11. Thats going to be difficult,they are everywhere,the AP-7 was the one we came up,and all the prostitutes sitting on plastic chairs on roadsides wearing small mini-skirts just outside the small towns
  12. Three of us did it earlier this year,from 30 minutes south of Benidorm up to Holland,did it in just over 2 days,would have been easier and a darned site cheaper to fly Alicante-Gatwick,we just followed the sat-nav,cant you get the ferry over from Portsmouth to santander and drive the rest?
  13. Just been on the local news,wasnt far from here 12 people pushed the Pony and cart into the lake,one guy was injured trying to rescue the animal.
  14. Is that the rabbinnattors dog?
  15. Collie/whippet/saluki thats just a stab in the dark as I remember there were inconsistencies with the dogs history?
  16. Anyone with any interest whatsoever in growing any type of plant indoors under lights with any growing medium from hydro to coco should read maximum yields,I have been getting it for years since back when it was a genuine magazine,nowadays its online and easier to access,some great articles in it http://www.maximumyield.com/feature_articles.php
  17. I remember a guy called the rabbinnattor or something similar had a dog which resembled that one
  18. In the early days of the Cup a mini-bus was laid on for tours of the Castles grow rooms,they had incredible plants,I dont think the public have access to the Castle nowadays or even if its still used as the Dronkers have diversified into Hemp fields in eastern europe and hemp research.
  19. Veg period for chillies?I havent got a clue never grown chillies I saw a cannabis plant in the Dronkers "Cannabis castle" in Holland that was purportedly 23 years old having been kept in constant vegetative state for its entire life and used for cuttings,it resembled a massive shrub with a gnarled old trunk like some ancient bonsai tree
  20. Always,18/6 is better than 20/4 when I worked in Holland people were experimenting with all sorts of differing light-cycles,but always went back to 18/6 and 12/12 as they are proven to be the most efficient.
  21. 600's are a bit overkill for peppers plus you have the associated heat which needs venting/extracting,best get a 250 to be honest The down side with the halide in the sky is its seasonal,indoor lighting means you have 12 months of growing
