  1. Post this in the air rifle section and it will get plenty of responses. TC
  2. Sounds like a typical day with a young family. Enjoy it because believe me it does not last long. TC
  3. It's the proving of it is the hard part. Metaphorically trying to brow beat her in to submission will get no where. It is better to educate and show that we are just not callous killers but are actually trying to keep a balance for all species. They may not like it, but most I have come into contact with accept that it has to be done because of man's encroachment on the environment. I normally use an example of a local retail park that was built on marshland. Prior to the park being built it was home to waterfowl, waders, buntings, dragon and damsel flies and a host of other flora and faun
  4. All counterfeits are illegal to use under the Pests Act 1954. They have not been approved under Spring Traps Approval Order (2012) and anyone using a non-approved trap can be prosecuted. Unless they are classed as clones.......then they are perfectly legal... Here is the link to the "Approved List", and if they are not on that list, then they are illegal.... http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/13/pdfs/uksi_20120013_en.pdf This is where the problem is. If you read the bottom of the pdf (Article 2 specifies approved traps, namely those listed in Column 1 of the Sch
  5. They are not "fake" or "counterfeit." They are generic, they do not claim to be anything other than what they are. TC
  6. No answer as yet despite being on line this morning? "Curiouser and curiouser said Sandra." TC
  7. Could be, but the pickles I made from the same batch of vinegar are still going strong and have plenty of flavour. I tend to make up the pickling vinegar in litre batches with the sugar and spices, then return to the bottles to use when needed. I am really anal about sterilising the jars and lids and usually go over and above what is actually needed. It's got me flummoxed right enough. TC
  8. I made a jar of eggs a couple of weeks ago and after 2 weeks they started disintegrating in the jar and opening the jar was not a pleasant experience. It was obviously something I had done / not done, but I am at a loss to know what. I have made them in the past with no problems. TC
  9. When something does not add up in my mind, I tend to re-read the posts in a thread to try and get it straight in my mind. I have done this on this thread and to be honest I am somewhat confused. In post number 8 the OP stated "UntilI get my depatch mechanism I will be using these guys." http://www.pestcontr...ndon-foxes.html That is fair enough. Then in post #16 They sate "Unless I can find a mate with a .22, I will find a "reputable wildlife rescue group" and do a relocation." suggesting that they have not actually trapped any foxes yet. Then in post #34 They state, "
  10. Did not any one clock the time it started? 01-11. TC

    Your all fecking mad!!!!! Every one of you. TC
  12. Go into settings in you email account and allow remote access to your account. I had to do it. But then they will tell you have to change your password because the mobile is accessing your account right pain in the arris. TC
  13. How's your shy pup you got coming on? It's not. It fecking hates me, fine with the rest of the family bit of a chewer but it will only ever be a pet. All be it a good looking one, but a pet none the less. TC
  14. I must be one of those rare people who do not give a fig if I catch or not when I go out these days. That said, it is always nice to come home with something for your effort. The numbers game, the best dog game I have been through them all. But we all see sense in the end and a reverse 3/4 bed collie would do me fine now. Fast enough to take a few on the lamp and with more brain than me, perhaps it could teach an old dog a few new tricks? TC
  15. A nice video of urban fox life. To be honest I think that making that video was your ultimate goal. You have made it and proved that you could trap the foxes any time you like, so your happy. One thing I will agree with though, is unless you have a humane method of despatch, do not trap them. As always just my opinion. TC
  16. So that sequence has come up. When will be the next time that can happen? Your just looking for it because at some point it is going to happen. It reminds me of when I was in my twenties and seeing a girl who told me that every time she heard running water she wanted to pee. Up until then I had never heard of it, but for a while after every time I heard running water I wanted to pee. TC
  17. Fixer all the way, if it can be fixed I will find a way. Drives the wife mad but gives me great satisfaction. The microwave went the floor rusted though where the dolly that holds the turntable had worn though the bottom, simple repair just cut a disc out of ply and it lasted another six months before the ring caught fire. Just replaced the plywood ring and worked for another six months. I hate this throw away culture we seem to have. Certain things I will not have a go at though, gas and electric are a total no no to me. TC
  18. Exactly my thoughts. Net curtains went out with Nelson's eye ffs All the on trend people seem to have a downer on nets but class will always out last trends. (Where the feck is that tongue in cheek smiley) TC
  19. When you say "dark complexion"......? Touch of the tar brush as my aunty used to say? TC
  20. Every one presumes that as I used to fly BOP that as Tiercel is a male Falcon it is a reference to falconry. The truth is I am 1/3 small than the wife. TC
  21. Coal tar soap. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PACK-of-4pc-400gr-Birch-Coal-Tar-SOAP-anti-acne-dandruff-psoriasis-eczema-/291646636580?hash=item43e77e8224:g:IOMAAOSwJcZWfXvh TC
  22. Can you still buy the proper stuff ? Wasn't coal tar banned by the EU (yawn !)... I've seen Wright's soap on sale, but it doesn't look the same as it did ? They sell it in Home Bargains but it's coal tar scented. But you can get the real stuff on ebay, for an arm and a leg. TC
  23. Then it was Suleo shampoo, did feck all to the nits but did smell nice. TC
