  1. Exactly! I put 25 on each ring, count them out, count them in, 25 out, break a twig in the hedge or bailer twine on the fence, eazy peezy.
  2. I'm not doing cider this year (probably), so I've started a few gallons of wine instead. At the mo, I have rhubarb, strawberry, and today pea pod. Plum next then beetroot and finally mead and parsnip.
  3. I bought my first 97 last week, out the box I'm so impressed, it's bloody awesome.
  4. That was mildly amusing that! Recipe sounds good too.
  5. And even after all that rigmerole you'll still find sachets of broadifacoum and jaguar blocks broadcast all over the yards by the farmers.
  6. So these are the star nosed moles your trying to catch?
  7. To be honest, I think £300 is very generous even for a mint example, usually more like £100-150. I've got one here at the mo, great bit of wood, rusty but perfect working order with all original parts, I'd be lucky to get fifty quid for it.
  8. I bought one of the super carbine as soon as they were released for work, topped it with a photon, binned the silencer and put on a hw, it is truly lazer guided! Awesome bit of kit, mine is the tactical version.
  9. Possibly just pick up s new one, for the price of a wasp job you've got a new one that will last year's without any problems.
  10. Probably because at the end of the day he realises it's only an internet forum not his whole life lol.
  11. Probably forgotten more about pest control than most twats on here who have a pop at him in this section know about the subject!
  12. It's been dry in the main here except for a couple of days, thankfully it's slowed the mole jobs up a bit as the wasps have started and with how humid it is the fleas will be kicking off any day "ching ching". Could have almost made enough to get by on this year from moth jobs alone, very strange season, think I say that every year though!. Now, if you could arrange for some of that 30c to be up around Brittany next Thursday for five days that would be lovely, see if you can get that arranged Clive if you,d be so kind lol.
  13. Hopefully you get your motor sorted, but is the 97 still up for sale?
  14. Mrs makes a lot of the cordial, we pasteurise ours though. Came in real handy this year as my cider had too much tannin so was harsh, mixed a bit of cordial with it and it's great.
  15. Personally, I blinking hate summer mole jobs! Ahhh, they are driving me to distraction here at the mo. Ground is dry as a bone, moles only travelling through every week or so. So frustrating!. Forecast 25-26 degrees here next week. NP, still not caught in the putanges yet, but not worried "yet" as I'm barely catching in any of the others. Looks like I'll be over again, end of next month for a few days, hopefully it will still be hot hot hot!
  16. Bill fountain, top bloke, proper insurance cover. We've been with him about ten years now.
  17. Or, never ever sub for these or any of the other twats who ring on a weekly basis offering work! Honestly unless your on your arse and are so desperate for work you'll take anything, tell em to jog on.
  18. Boll%%$#s! Oops, sorry, I mean I must try this! How on earth have I made a living catching moles the last seventeen years without out it?.
  19. It's becoming a ruddy nightmare, to the point I'm considering dropping the farm contracts next year. Try telling a farmer paying you in excess of a grand a year that you're going to be putting down non tox to monitor, then only put down bait for 28 days, but we're only going to put down stuff that's not going to possibly have the effect other bait might, they will tell you to jog on and A, get someone in who doesn't give a monkey about rules, or B, go to farm suppliers and by jaguar, storm et al, and broadcast it around like fertilizer (most likely scenario). See why Matt said stuff it an
  20. That's really helpful np, I was wondering about how far in to set the trigger, already attached my triggers using fishing line and crimps, but not as you said, so I'll take them apart and do again using braid, and to the correct length. (Why didn't I think of that), oh yes, because I didn't know where to put the trigger.
  21. Funny enough we drove the van up a couple of those mountains, as you say get out mole hills everywhere?Those gamme verte are very interesting! Lots of traps, hunting gear etc, unfortunately the wife came in with me and found stuff she can't in the UK, that got expensive!!! Shame Shropshire mole didn't tell us we were meeting up for you to sell me traps, I wouldn't have needed to go in there. Lol. Good trip, can't wait to be back in September.
  22. Glad to see you've all been missing me! Lol. Just got back, bought the putanges from gamme vert as suggested by nicepix, they had the crappie ones you do with your hands, they would barely kill a mouse. The real ones are pretty powerful, looking forwards to giving them a spin. Nicepix, if you look in, we did go to Ile de leron as well, see why you like it so much.
  23. Seen lots of queens recently, won't get too excited though till the phone starts ringing. If the weather us good end of next week the first bee swarms will be needing collecting. Hopefully nothing will happen now though before 5th June as I'm in France.
  24. Yep, pissing in the wind! Stop manufacturers selling to retail. Qualified persons only to be allowed to buy, and I don't mean some micky mouse one day course either.
  25. Working on a Sunday! Taking up traps from religious ground on a Sunday?Rather you than me. Lol. Two nights a month I work crematoriums, you would not believe how dark one of them gets on a suitable rabbit night. There is one area right at the bottom tight to the woods , called the baby garden for obvious reasons, I hate going to this bit, it seems so wrong to be there with a gun, it also happens to be a very creepy place to be at night. Not nice.
