  1. It’s funny I was chatting with the wife yesterday and agreed the players are all huge! Even the little ones. 
     

    Another thing I mentioned was that there didn’t ever appear to be any space on the field! I know this is primarily because of the skill levels of the players and their drills but break throughs are few and far between. 

  2. I’ve read a bit lately about a lack of rabbits and a shortage of ferreting opportunities.

    Well I may be in a position to offer some. I just need to get permission from the land owner next door. 
     

    Last time I was out shooting I counted 42 on the field. They are holed up in a few sections of the hedge around the field. I’m not a ferreter and would be happy to take any advice. 
     

    As mentioned this can only happen if I get hold of the landowner and get permission. 
     

    Ps it’s in West Suffolk. Pm me if your interested. There isn’t any shooting on offer and it’s not an ongoing offer. 
     

    Cheers

    I had a similar negative experience in Mr Steins restaurant a few years ago. I eat loads of fish Hake, Kippers and sardines being my favourite. But in general most people I know will only eat fish if someone else cooks it for  them as they no idea how to cook it properly 

    It’s not like they couldn’t learn? There’s never been as many programmes on tv showing people how to cook!

    I get fed up with the amount of people I see and hear saying they don’t know how to cook!! But they all know what’s goin down in Corrie! 🤣

    Maybe we need a smaller fleet, smaller catches and a higher price for greater sustainability. Watching that fishing program does not inspire confidence that the current system is sustainable. The same with farming practices.

    Absolutely! But I fear that’s not on the cards. We had an opportunity with Brexit to take it in hand and to create a world class sustainable fishery but.....? 

  5. Cornish King crab! A great name for it!

    I would love to buy it but its generally shipped abroad and moving forward I doubt they will be looking to sell more Scallop, Langoustine, crab etc to us as the profit won’t be as high as shipping abroad and once the fracas with China is over we won’t get a look in!!

    I feel for the few small commercial boy and girls but they are few and far between now. Im afraid our quaint traditional perception of little old local boys and girls heading out in a small fleet in no longer in general the case. If we could see the devastation happening under waters we may change our views!

    Image one of the giant super trawlers (below) trawling across the countryside tearing up everything in its path throwing back it’s “dis-guard” everywhere! We wouldn’t put up with it for long.

  6. A fair few EE shops around here! I love them. Some really odd and exciting products in them. They love their sausages and cheeses.  They always find it funny that I pop in but are helpful if you ask what the heck stuff is. 
    some great beers to be had at good prices too! Zubr (Bison) lager at 6% is good for a headache!

    We have looked into this. My son wants to turn one of my hammer guns into a lamp standard.

    I actually phoned the Birmingham proof house and spoke to a very nice guy.

    Short answer is yes you can do it yourself and it takes two visits to the proof house to get it done and completely knackers your gun. RFD wanted £200.

    Hope this helps.

    Lamp stand is what I fancied making.

    Two visits to the proof house! Any ideas why? It’s a bit of a plus for me. 

     

  8. I fancied having a go at deactivating one of my old side by sides and had a chat with my FLO who said I must be done by an RFD? 
     

    I appreciate that it would need sending off to the proof house after required works but thought I could do them myself if the rules are followed? 
     

    Anyone have any thoughts? Also any ideas how much an RFD would charge?

    Cheers

    Gladly !!! Like I said,,,, if haircuts, and someone else's opinion are bothering you that much 😂🤣

    I have a couple of friends who are in the trade and struggling to pay their mortgages presently! I’m sure they wouldn’t mind being out there earning. Whilst most of the country are following the rules these highly paid individuals crack on as normal unless it’s their “wives, girlfriends, partners, mum and dads, siblings, friends in their bubble” doing it for them! 🤣

    You weren’t expressing an opinion by the way you were being condescending towards my comments.

    How do you know this ? Anyway, if that's all you've got to worry about, you're living a sheltered life 🙄

    You seem to be a bit concerned about my posts! Walk on!!

    People have wives, girlfriends, partners, mum and dads, siblings, friends in their bubble as you say, who could all cut their hair,,,, or they could cut their own like I do - 60yr old living on my own 🧑💇‍♂️🙍‍♂️🤦‍♂️ 😂

    I wouldn't let it worry you 😏

    Also,,,, have you seen some of those [professional footballer's] "haircuts" ?! Shocking 😳🤣

    They pay a fortune for those haircuts! I’m not sure many get their wives to do it? 

  12. Even though I don’t agree with it, I understand why they are still playing professional football ££££s and it helps keep urchins like me indoors! 
     

    However I can’t understand how they are all still having their lovely haircuts?

    You need to do it years before you have any sort of care needs or disability or something. 
     

    If you get assessed by the council for home care then the next week sign your house over to someone else after you’ve had all the info on charges for future care they will say you’ve done it to avoid future fees. 
     

    If you’ve done it years and years before you ever needed care they’d have a hard time proving why you did it.

    👍 my boy would kick me out though!
