  1. Of course, you're right and your argument is unassailable. How silly of us - so much better value than MP's, social workers, teachers, health workers, police, the military etc. Did I leave anyone out? Apologies for the deja vu, could have sworn...
  2. Page 39 http://www.stihlusa.com/stihl_ownersmanual...0_85_Manual.pdf
  3. Personally, I don't think we pay them enough.
  4. Loony lefties, what are they like... http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/sport/sport-...s-201006112805/
  5. This is my chosen shirt for the summer: http://store.theonion.com/product/the-spor...superior-to,39/ Chosen ale may well be the newly created Hook Norton Striker. I think I'll pop over tomorrow and sample.
  6. Thanks a lot, that's almost exactly what I do but without the dredge - I'm always looking to find cheaper food sources as the feed is so expensive, so I'll look into that. I'm also going to see if I can source some brewer's grain from the local brewery.
  7. That's a bit worrying, I shall have to remind him of this: http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...st&p=958612
  8. Pics for me please, too - and serial number?

    It's a real bind

    No easy way. If you want to be chemical free then cover the garden in black plastic for a few years. Difficult to dig out: roots break easily and can be several metres deep. You can use a glyphosate systemic weedkiller by putting in a bamboo cane, training the bind weed up it, then, when there's a decent growth, take out the cane, put all the bindweed into a plastic bag, spray inside the bag with roundup etc. and leave so the glyphosate gets to the roots and kills them.
  10. rimfire, I'm interested in your feeding regime. From other posts you clearly don't go for 6 month ad-lib feeding, but how do you keep the cost of feed down over 10 months? And how much do they actually get?
  11. I don't think the offence is caused by the flag itself but more to do with its one-time and still lingering association with the National Front. It's taken a while to reclaim it from them and the process is ongoing.
  12. From what I've seen Mrs S, your bouncers will be more than adequate.
  13. ...including the rainbow one, no doubt.
  14. You say owner, I say current custodian.
  15. Not sure, El Al? You're going to run into swine flew issues whichever you choose.
  16. Very nice - how long do you intend to keep them?
  17. From an article on the BBC website: Urban wildlife expert John Bryant said such an attack was extremely rare. "I have only ever heard of two cases in my 40 years of dealing with foxes, one of which turned out to be a German Shepherd and the other a cat," he said. So none then.
  18. Quite. Not so much a case of short memories more a case of selective memories.

    RED KEN

    I wouldn't write them off. Voters demonstrate time and again just how fickle they are and how short memories can be. There's always a next generation coming along for whom history has no relevance and for whom the incumbent is always the enemy whilst the fresh, young thing promising 'change' and something 'new' is the saviour. And so we go round again.
  20. Exactly, because that would be a bad thing, wouldn't it?

    David Laws

    David Laws: "I cannot escape the conclusion that what I have done was in some way wrong" No **** Sherlock. Any of you apologists for the coalition and Nu Politics going to defend him like Paddy Pantsdown?
  22. I was going to say justcartridges. I had some Lyalvale Max Game 36g AAA's off them recently.
  23. For new pigs I go for a low stock fence with one strand of electric about 200mm above ground. Whilst they're getting used to electric they can as often bolt through it as retreat back. They soon get used to this and thereafter you can just use two or three stands of electric if you want to move them around. 12v for me too, with a 4w solar trickle charger to help extend the life of the battery. As rimfire4969 says, they can't help but respond to the sound of food if they escape (no experience of Tamworths, though). Price, £40-£45 for mine. rimfire4969 - interested to know what yield you get from yours this week.
  24. Well spotted, it’s all a lie. Hours and hours of photoshop work went into producing this most topical of allegorical compositions. That’s Clegg, Brown and Cameron fighting over the white and pure vessel of parliamentary power; sullied and muddied by their desperate efforts to attain it. But they won’t overturn it as it’s held firm in the circular tyre of our unwritten constitution. One of the statesmen appears to have tired and, of the other two, one seems to be using his head whilst the other is using the bulk of his rear. Beyond, you can see the green and pleasant land of our country bounded by a fence, or is it? But, hold fast, who’s that faceless fourth person lurking in the shadows of the unflatteringly depicted House of Commons behind?
