    Looking good Mac, those medullary rays (flecks) always makes wood more interesting IMO.

    Looks a good job on the gun Mac, sorry to hear about your dog, have had to make same decision in the past. Waited about 19 years and got another one and glad I did. This bloke has NO aggressive tendencies at all against people or dogs, despite being built like a brick sh1t house.

    That liver looks like coccidiosis (I googled it), and opinion is that it is unfit for consumption, couldn't find anything about the rest of the rabbit that the liver came from though. I'd rather be safe than sorry and discard the liver and the rabbit.

    Never thought of that where can i get them from ill have a look on the bay and see if i can get a set off there thanks MG atvbmac :thumbs: Here you go Mac, http://www.amazon.co.uk/3pc-Shaped-Cabinet-Scraper-Set/dp/B001C06BLE You might want to have a look at this youtube clip first to give an idea of what is involved, and always go with the grain, smooth as a baby's arse. https://youtu.be/dOmAWhgdEJA You might find it too much of a faff though, what with the burnishing.

    Mac, as you do so many have you thought about getting yourself a set of cabinet scrapers? only about £10 - £12 for a set of 3 and it'll save a fair bit on wet and dry, just a thought.

    I've got exactly the same as you mate, they are last years tadpoles which for some reason didn't develope properly like all the others. The frogs always spawn in my redundant concrete filters (away from the carp) and I have been watching them from about this time last year, and no, they don't hibernate. When the filters got a layer of ice you could see them moving about underneath.

    Last injury I had was a few years ago when I was pole fishing for tench in the Silt Pond at Horton Kirby. Bit of a bird cage swim, and I got snagged on something on the bottom. Managed to ship the pole back and grab the elastic, which was well under tension and kapow... float through finger, didn't pierce the other side of the finger but put a fair lump on it. It actually pushed the float body along the stem. Pulled it out OK and hardly any blood and unbelievably NO pain. The consequences could have been much worse had it aimed towards my mince pies. I recall a time I was fishing a small l

    No mate, you don't need to use a hosting site, just need to use a bigger picture as some of us are the wrong side of 60 and the old mince pies aren't what they used to be. Looking at the size of the image you have posted (2.32kb) I'd say it's a thumbnail picture to a link to a bigger picture as it claims 640x480 pixels, or an old avatar picture.

    Used to use it until Micro$oft took it over, then they suspended my account because I was using Win XP SP2. Was handy for keeping in touch with the grandkids out in Aussie. Fcuking Micro$oft told me I need to upgrade my OS, seems they are desperate to get everyone using Win 10.

    A muslim was sitting next to Paddy on a plane. Paddy ordered a whiskey. The stewardess asked the muslim if he's like a drink. He replied in disgust "I'd rather be raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips!" Paddy quickly handed his drink back and said "Me too, I didn't know we had a choice."

    Yep, can recall both the Minor and Traveller having them. Just had a look on google and the new indicators, the ones we know now, had to be fitted on all cars registered after the end of 1958, just as a matter of interest.
  12. Mister Gain
    I can remember the NSU Quickly's which you had to pedal to start.
  13. Mister Gain
    I stand corrected mate, nice find. Looks like they had the pop out indicators as well, my mates dad used to refer to them as trafficators, used to pop out of the 'B' pillar.

    Think it might be a 1950's Triumph Renown, possibly. Looks like one doesn't it,fuel filler on rear near side wing?Beautiful car, love to have old car like that,I wouldn't let kids near it let alone in it,lol That'll be an indicator lens.

FOR THE LAST TIME. . .THE DOG IS NOT FOR SALE!

    Well I got my wish, just made a stew with 6 dumplings. She bought one of those 4 bird rolled roast things out of Lidl for sunday and it ended up dry as fcuk, so I used it for the stew. Turkey, chicken, goose and duck and plenty of chunky veg, guts are rumbling.

    Used to see a few of these, lucky to see an ordinary one lately, but the farmer's a happy bunny

    A couple of camo coats I bought came with 'high visibility' reflective armbands, obviously for if you are beating or are part of a live shoot. I thought it might be prudent for something similar for airgunners at airgun ranges. I have trawled the internet and found something to do the job. If you are out with 2 or more of your shooting mates it would make for a safer situation and an awareness of each others presence if you are plotted up or fancy a wander around. All you need is a yard of string and you can attach it to your cap, coat, hide, or even a tuft of grass to let your mates know

    There's no need for calling it Vindows, they can pronounce the 'W' easily enough, as I have heard many times in the past whilst ordering chicken Windaloo.

    same here you won't beat ya nans cooking must be a generation thing When I used to walk into my nans I used to smell the lamb stew and think 'for fcuks sake not again', but I now realise how good it was and a good way to feed the kids etc, definately going to make one next week. BTW, the wife liked the tagine, but she'll deffo get hotty botty in the morning LOL

    This thread really made me want to make a stew, but without thawing rabbits and going shopping it was going to be something different. I found 4 roast chicken thighs in the fridge, a few spuds, tin of chick peas, few olives, carrots and other stuff, quickly turned muslim and dug out some harissa paste and ras el hanout, as will as the tagine. It turned out nice and fiery. Told her to get some stuff in at the weekend and we'll have a proper stew with dumplings next week.

    No mate, just an ordinary household incandescent light bulb, can't recall the wattage though. You get a fair bit of heat from the bulb as it is contained within the box. I didn't use the bulb when curing salami or chorizo though, not needed.

    Matt, I stopped doing the charcuterie some years back as there's only me and the wife, and she's not keen on it, she thinks it's raw if it's not cooked You are right, there is a lot of conflicting advice out there, hence the small practice salami in the hogs casing. It's beneficial to use a starter culture (LS25) to bring the ph down and give it between 12 and 24 hours of incubation time at about 85F/30C, this will grow lactic acid and stop any nasty bacteria (botulism) forming. Then aim for about 60F/15C and 60% to 70% relative humidity (RH). It's impossible to give exact times for curin

    Filling a salami in a Hukka casing. Salami's curing in the homemade box. The final product. A batch of biltong drying out. Some bresaola. (not cured in the biltong box) A small salami testing a recipe using hog casing. Salami and chorizo curing, Got a nice white mould blooming. Final result. A couple of rounds of pork loin cured for Lonzino/Lomo, just like parma ham.
