    Its been on BBC Scotland news the last couple of weeks, Goshawks are rarer, than Golden Eagles and Ospreys, so to chap one with a stick, and put the other in a sack, then remove it, i bet this bird was never released. the mans an idiot, especially his excuse, i was protecting my Pheasants. With all field sports under threat, for the public to see on film a rare bird being bludgeoned to death with a stick, what can you say, I would have given him 6 months not 4.

    The Government is stopping funding for 25 cancer treatments, to save million, maybe he should stop the 12 billion going to foreign aid, some going to Countries that have a space programme.

    There is no way, that i usually agree with Cameron, but he said today he wanted to bring in new laws to tighten up new ways that Terrorists can communicate, which i would agree with. Could not believe that Labour and the Libs blocked it.

    There is a happy medium, you don't want a huge Jill, but neither do you want a tiny worker, If you have a dig on, you want a fert that can hold, the one thing you don't want, is a rabbit dragging it all round the bury. Come breeding time there's lots of medium size Jills, having Kits, of excellent working stock, usually going free, or cheap. So no reason for Wild polecat crosses or fancy named runts. Theres nothing wrong with a normal sized Ferret, they have been used on rabbit control for years with good effect.

    they came in a cardboard box Abbot Brothers, I sent away for one years ago, was a young lad with not much savvy, When it arrived, i put my hand in the box where it immediately latched on to one of my fingers drawing a lot of blood.

    Anyone who is radicalized, seeing a crowd holding up a pencil, is going to make no difference.

    Congratulations on picking the perfect cross.

    Did anyone see this last night, It looked like a really bad sitcom, but was real life, the Cavendish hotel Torquay. entertainments manager decided to have a Scottish night, as a party of Scots had booked in. he had a menu that Scots love, deep fried mars bars, and Haggis on sticks, no Scots turned up, but the room was full of English, enjoying the night, where anyone sane would have walked in mins. i think it was channel 4 set up, how else would they have had a full house. also on the subject of the telly is, Still open All Hours the worst thing David Jason has done, I find it unfunny,

    I was with Npower and switched to OVO, npower owned us £100, we had to use the Ombudsman it took us a year to get our money, many letters and phone calls, never again. Happy with Ovo, only had to phone them once, and got straight through, I hate the big 4.

    Being a solo netter i once decided to take my Whippet X Bedlington with me, I tied her and run out 100 yarder, i then took her up the side on the leash, got to the top of the field and let her go. I heard a rabbit squeal as it hit the webs , good i thought, but no sign of the Dug, i bantered the field, and reached the net, there was about four in it, then i came across a bundle, at first being a bit stupid i thought it was a fox, but it was the Dug, neatly wrapped up, and not struggling, waiting for me to free her. that was her first and last night longnetting session.

    its takes time, but you never know whats round the corner, take Labour in Scotland, they thought they had the divine right, to win the elections, then the SNP turned into a major threat and beat them, now according to the poles at this coming elections Labour could be losing more seats to the SNP. It will take longer in England, but voters down there, must be sick of either the Tories or Labour getting in every five years. The two of them need a good kick up the backside. will UKIP be like the SNP coming from nowhere, to become the major party in their country, who knows, only time will tell

    Spot on post, although when out with my ferreting partner, we take a lot of nets and equipment, i think im now at my happiest, with a single ferret box and a few nets in the pocket, just going out for a mooch.

    The numbers game, once i was out netting solo, perfect night, i did two sets with a 100 yarder traditional. total caught 48 good rabbits, now the bad bit, i was five fields away from the car, and one old post office bag. after carrying that lot i was knackered, and was not good for the auld back.

    years ago i had three freezers, i got 20 pence a rabbit unskinned and guts in, i was lamping, snaring, longnetting and ferreting, and one night a week i would go out with the keeper, he shot, i picked up and opened and shut gates, and he let me keep the rabbits. now if i go ferreting myself, im happy with three and four, i like to watch the dog working and watching Geese flying over my head, I just feed the rabbits to my dog and the ferrets, im never in a hurry, and being retired i can pick my days. Utopia. i suppose a few on here would not get out of bed for four rabbits, but i love it.

    Just listened to his speech, nothing has changed, he must have mentioned working people at least twenty times, calling the Tories, stating the NHS is only safe with Labour, more schemes for apprenticeships. doing away with zero contacts, nothing new, heard it all before. looks like its gonna be either Tories or Labour, for another five years, with a coalition. It will be interesting in Scotland with the SNP surge, and its usually a Labour stronghold, But Milliband is thought not to be pm material, and the Thatcher era killed the tories.

    I worked and lived in Birmingham for a couple of years, and i hated being called Jock, at least have the decency to find out my name. What also gets on my goat, people in a bar asking for a Scotch.

    No, its from the Daily telegraph.
