    BMW's?

    The Mrs has an X1 s drive 2 ltr petrol, Had it from new in 2022, Before that she had a Rav4 2.5ltr Hybrid. Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with the BMW. Apart from the indicators are a pain in the arse for not turning themselves off and there's no reversing camera, But in my opinion the Rav4 was a far better car, The best BMW i have ever owned was a 1990 325i.
  2. I once watched an actual video of a bloke who caught anaconda's for zoos and that, In the video he dived into a river and waited to be attacked by an anaconda. Once it had coiled around him, he scrambled to the bank and it was removed by his helpers. i think his wife was one of them, I have looked for it online but have not been able to find it.
  3. Some of the best trained dogs i have ever seen belonged to falconers, The amount of time and effort that is put into training and entering a bird is far beyond the comprehension of a lot of dog men, The Harris Hawk opened up this sport to the masses, to the detriment of the sport in my opinion. Anyway back to this topic Lee Green is correct that trained birds will take species that a wild bird would not contemplate for risk of injury. But that's what makes falconry special.
  4. The longest reticulated python ever recorded was found in 1912 and measured in at a staggering 10 metres -
  5. Forecast to piss it down for the rest of this week, My shed roof has decided to give up the ghost, Piss wet through inside with buckets hanging everywhere. Roll on the summer Lol.
  6. Golden Eagle attacks boy on a cliff https://www.tiktok.com/@shortsvideos172125/video/7202313842355916037?lang=en
  7. Blame Thatcher, She was was the one who put us on the course to be a service Nation. Back in the 1970`s everybody had a job and we manufactured everything from knitwear to Ships, Instead of taxing cheap imports so they matched British Manufactured prices on the High street they decided to just let the cheap imports flood in. Every subject you look into, it always comes down to some very powerful people making big money and our Government being complicit with it. They don't give a f**k about the standard of living of the normal citizen and have not done for a long time. Quick example Ofge
  8. You are of a build far lighter than this gentleman Lol
  9. So today i have found out that 16000 have been granted permission to work whilst there applications are being assessed. Apparently this will be good as they will fill the jobs that the British people do not want to do!. What a crock of horse shite. The care industry and the agricultural industry want to employ them as they can pay them 20% less than a British worker for doing the same job. This is a set up to lower wages that will in turn effect the average British worker the most.
  10. I can remember about 10 - 15 years ago, some on here tried to recreate the Alhunt excuse the spelling, seen a couple that were basically a mastiff cross. Handy looking dogs on certain quarry i would of thought, But these dogs are produced for the Div society market.
  11. I can remember Plummer writing in the Countryman's Weekly that his next challenge after getting cavalier King Charles to go to ground on Fox, Was to get an European eagle owl to take a hare. I wrote in and offered him a side bet, That being. He would not be able to get it off it when it did, No reply Lol.
  12. This bloke was called Ray. Owned a farm near West Lyne, amongst other businesses Lol
  13. Yes mate its good but expensive, i had to get the last lot from the States as there was none available here, You have to use the right knot's or else it coils up horribly when you knot it.
  14. He won last years YBC tournament by a Country Mile mate. Don't get caught up in all the Fox Rage vids, They are just to get you to buy shit you don't really need at inflated prices a bit like Corda in the carp world. There's a bloke on FB that sells good gear and more importantly uses it him self. Look for 9 7 Tungsten and his name is Dan Sales. Well at least on FB it is.
  15. Never flew an eagle, although a vey naughty man who dealt in birds, turned up with a female in the back of his motor one day whilst delivering a pair of sparrow hawks to me, He left it on my back lawn overnight whilst he did some business elsewhere, Great big thing she was, 14lb if i remember correctly. But it was half a lifetime ago now Lol
  16. look for the Ginger Fisherman on youtube
  17. Soft plastics mate, Either on a standard jig head or a Cheb rig, sometimes a Texas rig. I like the activity of recasting into different areas of the swim.
  18. Had a mate a good few years ago that got a job up Scotland bolting Fox`s with his terriers for Golden eagles, He went up with five terriers and after the first season came back with two.
  19. i have a very low boredom threshold so i found Drop Shootting was not for me Lol
  20. Another horror story Horror as 'XL Bully' mauls horse and cart in savage attack leaving animal with bloody wounds before cowardly dog owner flees | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK EXCLUSIVE: Karl Canwell was walking his driving horse Doris and cart through Broxbourne Park, in Hertfordshire, when the unleashed beast suddenly ran...
  21. He may or may not have died from Sudden Death Syndrome, But plenty do and not many, If any would have been in such a stressful environment as he was in. I don't see what Putin would gain from killing him now, He could have done that when he was arrested or at any point since. People tend to believe what ever suits the narrative of the moment, Take the Palestinian's and all those calling for a two state solution, When Hamas were voted democratically into power, One of there first things they did was to murder all opposition leaders and as many Party members as they could find, I woul
  22. Google the upside down seven. My old man use to crack on about it from when he served in the 1950`s. Apparently medical centre's on that route where asked to report any unusual clusters of the same illness.
