  1. You can get wardrobes like you want from ikea. Get busy with all the tools you've been buying and get dirty building something 3m long made up of 500mm and or 1m units fixed together. Done this in my daughters room as quotes were silly for built in wardrobes. You can buy filler strips and end panels to cut if you want that built in look. Your probably looking at around a thousand with all the fittings inside. We have a big double one in our utility for coats and shoes dog leads etc.
  2. For me it's a few, little Jenny Wren always flitting about and singing, the skylark for its song in spring and summer,the gold and firecrest for being so rare up here and a joy to see. And our humble blackbird for its song.
  3. I'm not that desperate to eat duck to eat an infested one. They just don't look apetising or even good enough to feed cooked to your dog.
  4. When my cocker was less than a year old I took him I the marsh with me, he just sat watched had a swim and enjoyed the odd duck to retrieve. Shot a big Canada that ran to water before expiring in the reeds. My little dog tried his best to retrieve it but it's flight feathers were caught and he couldn't free it so I lent him a hand to bolster his confidence. Couple of weeks or so later shot since high Canada, down it came folded up into the reeds with a mighty splash, sent my dog for the retrieve and walked over myself getting there to see my dog swimming around looking for a goose. It was injured but still alive and swimming under water coming up at my dog and having a go, not wanting my dog getting goose shy I called him back and gave the coupe de grace, forgot to aim slightly off centre of head a 31/2" bb steel make pink most of the head and awkward to carry off the marsh after the dog made his first goose retrieve unaided out of the water reeds. Some geese are fearsome beast at going for dogs.
  5. Auntie have a look at Oaklodge shooting ground registered fixtures list on cpsa they have a few this year. One the end of this month is a registered sportrap winter series shoot.
  6. Some are greedy and have no morals, others will not be swayed by money at all. You never now how your is till tested.
  7. It's why I'll never buy anymore the ones I have are from a few seasons ago, used sparingly early to mid season then onto no five shot in other makes.
  8. Which ones are the good ones?

    Oop's

    Davyo son would love a pair of them.
  10. I bought a bottle of OVD dark rum before Christmas instead of the usual Lambs navy. Different to the norm, a little bit bitter and not as sweet as others I've had.
  11. It still would be as they wouldn't get a ticket to own one.
  12. If a lot of ordinary people were armed it would be a very short time.
  13. Just on news that the second gunman in the Kosher supermarket has escaped.
  14. Armed police could have stopped him early on when he started shooting at them. Any armed citizen walking u could shoot and stop a nutter from creating carnage, instead they have to run and hide to avoid being a victim. There plus points to armed citizens along with negatives.

    Ebay

    They might do this if they are selling one similar, end your auction leaving theirs for sale.

    Man up and face her like a wimp run quick.
  17. Well done to Old Farrier and to Beretta 06 your and your good ladies generosity is admirable. Gestures like have been made on this forum makes it what it is. Old Farrier I would be very interested in a price to have a shooting stick made by your friend of my cocker dog. Hope the young champion and all on the Crown shoot have the best day. A restless night will be had by a few I reckon thinking of ways to make a great day better Will do my best to make this years charity shoot and hope to meet Beretta 06 and that Old Farrier our very own digweed ringer makes it again
  18. You naughty boy. Shot distance lethality comes into play. I've asked at my local ground when needing to pattern my Wildfowling and game loads. They usuall put me in a bunded area with all shot going into the earth bund.
  19. As above the sun in your face and targets thrown across it ruin a good shoot. Talking to Guy the fella running it now, plans to extend and shoot the other way in future are planned, with some grouse butts and such for practice. More registered grounds the better, but Keats get some meaningful comps on. The north team selection shoots and a few regional championships are all that's held to be honest. Need some of the larger comps bringing north. Hopefully see you at one of these shoots Aunty it's been a while since we were at the same shoot.
  20. Now that's and interesting gun. Hope it goes to someone who will restore and enjoy it.
  21. I know of a few who hate them too. You know when you use a cartridge you like by the results you get. My favorite cartridge is Caledonian XL but they only come with a plastic wad. I like my game carts to be as close as possible to my clay carts to shoot. VIP don't come close for me. I think the best value is the Blackgold fibre wad 28 gram 6 or 6.5 clay load. Smooth quick and does the job.
  22. No doubt later when it's all been dissected no ones to blame for their escape. The French have some good special forces, for crying out loud use them and let them do their jobs.

    Pet hates

    Reading this makes me chuckle, my wife often states the more she meets people the more she likes animals, truth is she means it. Ghetto speech Americanisms and chavs became cool and the way to be through films and music, lots of youngsters and older types wanting to be hip try and talk the same with letters missing and miss pronounciations making it painful to listen to, to the point I'll either walk away or start correcting them constantly. It's nice to have a conversation where people talk properly and are articulate enough to put into words what they want to express. Edit for iPhone
  24. Isn't there chat rooms on here where like minded folk can discuss topics like this without causing the same Odense on open forum?
