    His best friend that will fight his corner all the way will be our old favourite......ECHR.............the damage it has done to our way of life over the years is emmense 

    Ditchman i disagree with you there, his best friend is dead! .....his best friend is thankfully dead! Sir Jimmy Savile defended paedophile pop star Gary Glitter saying 'he did nothing wrong' and calling child porn just 'dodgy films' | The Independent | The Independent

  2. Guys well done all, once again the PW community has given good and honest advice on an sensitive issue. Nice one. I'm having my over 50 well man blood tests on Friday which includes prostate tests.

  3. Interestingly some of  the worse conversations I've had regarding harvesting wild meat have been with omnivores who would quite happily eat a Tesco chicken, but would turn their nose up at wild rabbit or duck...my Mam being one! I've met vegetarians who have said "if you take responsibility for killing it, preparing it then eating that's fair enough"

    Cheers. Aled

  4. Strong mining ancestry on both sides of my family as well Shambam 1962. I always thought that there would be a place for coal in the future  as i expected UK technology to have looked at using it in a more environmentally friendly way, we still have quite a lot of it. Sadly (unless someone here knows different i would love to be wrong) that does not seem to have happened, I agree though importing coal from Columbia seems totally wrong. 

  5. There are some medical conditions which mean that protein intake needs to be v low phenylketonuria (PKU) being one. I also have a friend who only eats shot meat and game and rod caught fish. I also know one person who is a vegan, but does eat cleanly shot venison, stating its the ultimate in humane organic meat! 

     

  6. Don't people mention the three "W"s, if the dog still enjoys its Walk, Wags its tail and Wolfs its food, it should be OK, when one of those goes its time to assess the situation. 

    As an aside many years later it still bugs me that it was not me that took the family dog on his last journey. I had said that i would but had gone back to Uni fully expecting to do the sad deed a few weeks later (i was the dog's alpha 2), i left it too late, just glad Mam and my brother were there, so for your own piece of mind, don't leave it too late. 

  7. I had some a couple of weeks ago, i just stuck in a cooking dish with some sliced veg a la "Nigella Lawson One pot meals" it was really tasty with gravy! As a student we used to BBQ them ,and they were fine like that as well. 

  8. Personal belief here and it is not backed up by any social science facts: I always thought that "the dole etc" was meant to be a walking stick to help you through difficult times e.g. the factory has closed its not your fault you need a bit of help until you find your next job, rather than a crutch you can't do without which others have outlined as a lifestyle choice. However where are peoples self respect? After i left Uni getting a proper career start was not easy, so i signed up with a work agency and worked on factory floors, did spells as a bin man, and other mundane jobs. I usually worked 4 days a week, which i preferred to signing on.
