bit of a clue as to where you are please

thanks for the offer lez, it doesnt work out any cheaper than i pay local for them to tell the truth. all the best Phil.

to far from gloucester as i cant drive that far as i would have taken them if you had been this way. best of luck with your sale Lez ATB Phil.

just need the tinsel to go with them balbals.

looks good Dave but i thought you wanted a 4x4 or is it just to tie you over until one comes up. oh well. put a strap in the back as i have a double hitch point so i will pull you off the wet grass at the same time as Neil. :yp:

**** have a search for the pajero owners forum, all you need is on there. they answered loads of my questions and there's PDF files on there as well. all the best Phil.

there the ones i have but they dont go anywhere near my knees. i put a couple of raps of tape at the top of the sock then turned top over. socks stayed in place all day to day

I have tried the staples but they just pulled out and left a mess on me legs so that one didn't work. i have tried the 2 pairs of socks but not working as i have thin, long feet but my toes are at the end so hurts toes. i am now trying tape on socks job, so far so good but im not sure where my feet are going as they are asleep.

LaCrosse tuff extreme all the way for me. i have used them in the coldest of water out on the marsh and not felt the cold in any way. steel shank foot so glass and sharps dont go throw the bottom. handwarmer pockets for the boston warmer to go in and cartridge slots for a few shells. ok there not the cheapest but never had a problem so worth every penny. also i have a 40" inside leg and these fit.

Pinewood dead bird and then a pair of flappers just until you et two fresh birds to mount. lightest dead bird magnet and only needs a small battery wouldnt be without mine, i have had it a few years and its been spot on. Phil

I will give them a go. i have some 40mm elastic here and a sowing machine so i mights have to try the much cheapness type first but for tomorrow i will try the insulation tape job and see how it goes with thin socks and taped to ankles. thanks all Phil.

their the ones i have. i have the bridgedale boot sock and walking sock and both fall down. i bought these boots to try and save the hassle of lacing walking boots but looks like its £170 wasted at the moment. i might see if i have a long nozzle for the expanding foam gun My main problem is trying to find the socks big enough as well. they dont do many in a 15 Phil.

Are they to big well in some eye yes they would be but they do fit my feet. thick socks and my toes are tight in the end. as for getting them over my knee's well a 40" inside leg puts pay to that one. do they do tights that long. i must go have a look, will they be warm? you sound like your talking from experience :blink: boot size is a 51 euro. :yp:

^^^ what he said ^^^ Also add a good quality fish oil. I use wild salmon oil, higher in omega 3 & 6. good on the coat and skin as well as helps with the eczema but also good for putting the weight on. i was feeding fish in sunflower oil but was told on more than one occasion that Salmon oil was better and wild was better still than farmed.

when you find out how women work then please shout as im still in the dark about that one. most things i can take apart and me being me, i like to try and improve the way something works. but women, well i think i would get locked away if i tried to take one apart..... .....or would I anyone have spare patio slabs? no no i was joking.

Just shelled out on a pair of le chameau vierzonord but im having a problem with socks. no matter what i wear i lose them after a very short distance. i have tried thin sock and i have tried long thick socks, walking boot socks and no socks, but thats to cold. apart from nailing the socks to my legs what do others wear to stop the socks sliding all the way down and under their foot. Phil.

I have just finished a lighter antler pricket with polished buffalo end caps. lead core the end 2" and the polish the horn, it comes up like a shiny black button but with depth. came up even better than my first one and glad it did as its for a present for a good lady friend that has just had a quite wedding. i just need to find someone who can donate some roe Vee's like the ones you use. any idea's I will go take a photos and post it on this thread if thats ok. kind regards Phil.

I did have this when using plastic wads. fowling in the barrel i went to town on it and got it all out but it did look like pitting to start with. i havent had the problem since going to fibre wads. i do how ever have some marks on the outside of the barrel field version for me as well. i cant get then out but i can feel them. yellowy powder came off then to start, i now soak with oil before putting away.

I bet it does fella, not nice waking up to pain. keep popping the painkillers and get well soon. all the best Phil.

Few years ago, one of my other hobbies, but not me in the buggys. dave and will at weston-super-mare X-games. they are flying fexifoil kites. Waiting for the flight a couple of years ago. All my photos are on disc's, i have to many to go though but i will try and find a couple more. every week my favourites change. Phil.

Oh Bum!!! That was just what i was going to do for a stand as a gift for a good friend. i have made the priest out of pricket but need a display stand and your was the sort of idea i was going to use. oh well. It looks great. are you lacquering the brass to stop it tarnishing. do you polish the antler? ATB Phil

Sorry to hear about the tire pattern in you foot sir, if my brothers anything to go by then you'll come good soon enough. my brother had a very similar thing with a fork lift. a youngster driving it and was going at things like a bull in china shop, only thing was he got a little to close to my brother and hit the wrong peddle. brother tried to jump out the way but not high enough, foot went into the wheel arch and then rolled over. this tore the foot off and snapped all the bones in the ankle. he said at the time if he had a gun then he would have used it on himself as the pain was that bad. what made it worse was when the docs has to find a blood supply to tie it back in so the was a blood flow the the foot or he would loose the foot. this was done without any sort of anesthetic. it took him a long time to recover and was told he wouldn't walk again as there was to much damage. he was a roofer so that messed things up a bit. anyway, a while later he was back on the roofs doing what he loved. stuck it out for a few years but now he's given it all up. he doesn't need the money but loves working so he is going to start buying houses doing the job on them and renting them out. he walks with a limp and it plays him up in winter but he is walking with all his own limbs all the best and hope you heal quick matey. Phil.

ow i forgot about the one i did this year. 2 birds passing at a distance so i went for the front one, pulled the trigger and the back one dropped there was about 6 foot between them :yp: now for every a single bird passes out in front i try to go for the front one

Its all in the touch BJ... ..so i'm told. Im just finishing a few priests for people and then im back on to making the sticks for a few friends again so i'll try and get a few photos if i remember.

Nice one BB. I had one a years ago where a bird dropped in to the feild but about 60 yards away over the back of straw that was drying after havest. i seid to a mate that if i shoot over it to put it up he could have a go with a tight choke. so he changes his choke for tightest he had, no idea what it was. andway i put the bead about 4 foot over the top of where i thought the bird was and pulled the trigger i saw the bird lift and was waiting for the bang next to me but the bird just dropped. all as if in slow motion but matey hadn't pulled the trigger. went over and picked the bird, yes on pellet in the head and stone dead. never tried it since and probably wouldn't again. Phil.
