    I don't know the exact law but this stems back a few hundred years. If you accidentally kill a dog or livestock (nowadays this'd be with a car more often than not), you are supposed to report it to the police. This is because when that law was made a few hundred years ago, all dogs and livestock were part of someone's livelihood (pet dogs didn't really exist a few hundred years ago and 99% were workers) and a figure could therefore be put on the loss and such losses needed to be reported. However............ If someone accidentally kill a cat (again assumedly in a car), you do not need

    Sorry cant agree following orders is no reason for murder.You should do what you feel is morally right. Mate, I was brought up a good Catholic boy and I agree with you entirely, i'd love to think i'd have done the moral thing in that situation. What you just posted is exactly what I said to him when he told me..... His reply: He thought the same til Japs started surrendering then blowing themselves (and his pals) up. After that, his orders and feelings changed pretty quick and they were all fair game: Awake, asleep, pointing a rifle, holding up their hands - It just wasn't worth

    THE ARMY FUNCTIONS BECAUSE OF ONE THING - FOLLOWING ORDERS. Without that it is Impotent. Only the ones who gave orders to murder are guilty, surely? Not the blokes following them (unless there is evidence they acted off their own back). Anyway, I don't know much about that Demjanjuk feller but i know this.... My neighbour died last year aged 95. He fought the Japs in Burma in 1942-1945. He told me that he killed about 30 enemy over there and that only half were killed in proper battles or direct combat. He was ordered to kill ALL Japs and NEVER take prisoners. Half of those 30 he kill

WE LOVED IT WHEN A CAT WAS DAFT ENOUGH TO COME INTO THE GARDEN: THEY GOT DRENCHED (THANKS TO THE SUPERSOAKERS BOUGHT BY MY DAD) OR PEPPERED WITH SOFT AIR PELLETS (BOUGHT SECRETLY FROM A CHAP DOWN THE ROAD) OR GRAPES FIRED FROM BLACK WIDOW CATTIES (FROM THE SHOP IN TOWN).

    PROBABLY BEST TO GET A PUP AND START FROM SCRATCH, THEN YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE'S TRAINED TO DO BECAUSE YOU TRAINED HIM, RATHER THAN GUESSING OR HOPING WITH A DOG SOMEONE ELSE TRAINED.
  9. Tomm Parr
    YOU COULD TRY ONE OF THESE: GET A FISHING CATAPULT AND USE THAT, IT'LL HURT BUT NOT DAMAGE THE CAT; GET A SOFT AIR GUN WITH PLASTIC BALLS, IT'LL HURT BUT NOT DAMAGE THE CAT; GET A SUPER SOAKER AND INSTRUCT YOUR KIDS TO ACT APPROPRIATELY WITH IT...........; PUT DOWN ORANGE PEEL NEARBY AND GET YOUR KIDS TO PISS ALL ALONG YOUR FENCE, THAT SCARES THEM APPARENTLY.... THE PISS AND ORANGE PEEL I MEAN, NOT THE PISSING KIDS! ; WHEN WE WERE KIDS MY DAD ENCOURAGED THE SUPERSOAKER OPTION......... THEY STOPPED SHITTING ON HIS STRAWBERRIES AFTER THAT. THE CAPSLOCK BUTTON IS JAMMED ON MY KEYBOA

    I think they might be earwig eggs
  15. Tomm Parr
    Its probably a red-legged partridge egg, rape fields are full of them this time of year. It might have been laid by a young mother who was spooked by something, hence the random place and no nest. My dog keeps flushing the fuckers out of the field when we mooch about. Shame i don't have a shotgun.... or permission for the land.....

    Got permission the other day to shoot a few rabbits on a bit of land near me. Its only a small place but it's had a rabbit problem in the past and they are starting to show their furry faces again, so it should keep my trigger finger exercised come Autumn time. Big thanks to JusarWhippets who helped me out: He put in a good word on some of his permissioned land that he didn't have time to look after anymore. I think someone might be in line for bottle or two of old Tomm Parr's homebrew.......... Cheers Barney

    The whole badger cull thing was settled and ditched by the Labour government at the start of 2010 i thought. I don't remember the exact details but read that there were tests done all over the country. They tried different culling strategies: 1. Total cull in the test area - HIGH reduction of Bovine TB in test area and NO CHANGE to surrounding area. 2. Selective cull in the test area - SOME Bovine TB reduction in test area but INCREASE in surrounding areas. 3. No cull in test area - Bovine TB remained the SAME in the test area AND the surrounding area. They concluded (after a huge

    Is this from a book or just personal knowledge? if its from a book can you pm me the name of it? if its personal knowledge then welldone Hi Ben, About 2/3 of the stuff are from personal knowledge that i have tried and eaten over the years. I started this foraging malarkey when i was in school, so i have had a few years practice! The other 1/3 are plants i still have yet to identify so i use a few foraging books for them whilst searching whenever i go out for a walk with the dog: Pru Coates, Ray Mears, Richard Mabey have written some good ones. pm sent mate

    There's a p***y site about a mile and a half away but they haven't gone anywhere unfortunately. Feel really bad about the lurcher, not to mention the owner (if he is a decent bloke that is).

    About 6pm today, I was just coming back from a mooch with the terrier and saw 2 running-dogs wandering around a village near me in Worcestershire. They both looked like workers and had about 3 inch leather collars. One (i think it was a greyhound, grey/brown coloured) was caught by a local chap and taken to the pub to hopefully wait for the owner to arrive. The other (a fast black lurcher) ran off when we tried to catch it. I haven't seen any threads on here about 2 lost running dogs in Worcs, so i assume they don't belong to anyone on THL. I didn't put the village name as its only

    If you look into the hole where the filling probe goes there should be a screw which secures the barrel shroud to the air cylinder, undo this and pull the shroud away from the gun it should slide off. Now take the scope off and there should be 4 grub screws, undo these and the barrel should slide out of the breach and give you access to where the pellets are stuck. Im telling you this on the bases that the webley venom viper is the one based upon the webley raider, if not completly ignore this. Richard cheers Richard, my VV is about 13 years old. Is the Raider an earlier ve
