    Had similar using the cheap wooden ones where the bait is cleaned right off the catch. Also had an issue using them in the garage with woodlice eating peanut butter right off them.

    I still have the oil stone in the box I made as an apprentice over 35 years ago.

    Aldi, Lidl and a lot of the cheap shops have tools and various consumables at often dirt cheap prices but the quality is a total hit or miss. For every decent buy I’ve had I’ve thrown loads of screwdriver bits, screws, sandpaper, sealant etc. straight in the bin after using once.

    I was in Grangemouth on the river Forth last year and they have a memorial to over 70 pilots who died.., mostly just in training. As well as British there were Kiwis, Aussies, Belgians, Czechs, Poles, Dutch, Irish, American and Canadians all trained and died there. I believe although you could be conscripted to the RAF, aircrew were all volunteers. Between the UK and her allies tens of thousands of airmen died in training and accidents. Hemingway may well be the last of ‘the few’ but the efforts and sacrifice of a great many young men from all over, was absolutely enormous. Incidentally,

    This is what happens when you teach kids that meat doesn’t come from plastic trays in Sainsbury’s.

    Plenty of frogs kicking about now. I ‘rescued’ one off the drive last week. Blowing a gale and the wind chill must have been well below freezing. It was a bit lethargic and looking a bit sorry for itself so I stuck it somewhere a bit more sheltered and turned a few stones over so hopefully it found a bit of grub.

    Came across this, Scottish farming podcast where a sheep farmer describes how his stock has been decimated by eagles, and how he can’t sustain a viable farm with losses annually running into tens of thousands. Starts at about 5’45”. The usual narrative is they scavenge dead lambs and might take the occasional live one. This guy’s story says different!

    One missing presumed dead. One man arrested under suspicion of ‘gross negligence and manslaughter’…, and apparently Russia hacked the auto pilot and caused the collision.

    Sure the tanker was static at anchor and hit by the container ship. I’d expect the fire on the tanker will eventually weaken the hull and it’ll sink. Also, I’d think jet fuel might not be as catastrophic to the environment as say crude oil. I’m only guessing.., the same it seems as a lot of the ‘experts’ rolled out on MSM to talk about this. Just heard one such boffin say that ships “have a thing called autopilot” FFS!

    Well I think the poor little critters, just like foxes, rabbits, hare, deer, badgers etc. in the countryside, are only doing what comes naturally.., and should be left alone. Oh, wait…

    Edge of the Outback. Shooting rats on the thermal. So many rats he could have shut his eyes, pulled the trigger and still hit one.

    Same here. I know blokes here who are in their fifties and think they’re part of a crew but when they were young and should have been into it, were nowhere near it. Like a lot of things, music is another one.., few lads I know all over the Stone Roses gigs a few years ago, but when I was listening to Fools Gold in ‘89 they were into Guns and fcukin Roses.., no joke. All a bit pathetic really.

    Bunch of tramps. The best trainers ever were ZX 600’s, (the original grey/yellow/black) absolutely no contest. Turn up in a pair of them early 80’s and even the dog’s bollocks turned green. Originally came out early 80’s.., then re-released 2005, before another release last year. I’ve bought them each time (two pair of the original colour scheme + two other colours last year). When they came out in the 80’s they were twice the money of ‘ordinary’ trainers and sorted the dressers out from the rest.

    Hibs bested Hearts in the Edinburgh derby Sunday. Not my team but I love when their fans sing Sunshine on Leith when they’ve got something to celebrate…, which isn’t often. https://x.com/grahamspiers/status/1896339730683539638?s=46&t=VY4brBw2Zl3y1kklDlkEFg

    Gladiator II. The plot had so much potential and they made an utter mess of it. Great white sharks at the colosseum ffs.

    I definitely think there’s much less respect for the law than there was 30 or 40 years ago. I remember knowing who most of the local coppers and CID were.., and there were some devious and nasty fcukers amongst them. Not sure just on the face of it today’s ‘diverse’ force command the same respect? Also, the stats for police ‘solving’ these sorts of crimes is shockingly low.., to the point I think some people have given up reporting them…, and the reward is then worth the low risk. I’m no nark or fan of the polis, but a civilised society needs rule of law. Vote for me and I will sort it out.

    He was brilliant in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Come with me.., and you’ll be…

    These days I care not one jot about what is said and done pre-fight by either boxer, I think most of it staged now anyway. The best fighting the best don’t need all the trash talk and ‘bad blood’ to ‘sell the fight’. Both these guys are poor tribute acts to their fathers, without whom and the opportunities and exposure that’s provided, you’d barely know their names. Boring.

    Loved Yellowstone, and watched the first episode of 1923 but never took to it. Might give it another try.

    The younger generation constantly whinging about gen x being well off having bought houses for tens of thousands which are now worth hundreds. Well, we deserve them. We had fcuk all as kids.., lived on the street all hours of the day and night with nothing to do but go looking in hedgerows for old scud books. Few prospects upon leaving school, 4m on the dole so loads of families on the breadline. 3 channels on the telly.., and most of that was sh!t. Everything I have I’ve worked for. I work with guys in their 20’s and 30’s and find their entitled whinging attitudes lamentable. They grew up wit

    Says I’ll live till 76.., that’s another 24 years. Was going to start watching what I eat and cutting back on the Guinness but fcuk it, 24 years will do me just fine. I’ve known a few people live well into their 80’s and even 90’s, and I want none of the life they had. Mother in law in her late 70’s now, just seems to get more bitter and spiteful by the day. I don’t want to outstay my welcome…, and definitely don’t want to be sticking around when most of those I loved, or loved me, have left this mortal coil.., and all I’m left with are the cnuts.

    Every time a running dog is found in poor condition they refer to it ‘being kept for hunting’…, whether there is evidence it was or wasn’t. If it was an emaciated collie that turned up they wouldn’t be saying ‘kept for working livestock’. W4nkers mistreat animals, and there are plenty hypocrites who’ll condemn hunting as cruel, whilst also failing to look after an animal in their care. Edited to add.., some of the best bred and looked after animals I’ve ever seen were used for hunting. Cruelty comes in all shapes and forms and includes buying breeds who have inherent breathing problems,

    The Bikeriders. Tom Hardy, Austin Butler, Jodie Comer.., about the early of the ‘vandals’ mc club. Neither the best or worst thing I’ve ever watched and decent enough fare for a Monday night.
