Hi PW, has anyone got any idea how I can get to read Multi Media messages sent via text on my Nokia Lumie 610 ? I've only had it a month and I received an important MM message last night and it's doing my head in trying to access it If I click on it, the box just jumps around and "bings" but nothing shows anywhere. Please, can someone help with this ? I really need to read this message asap Thanks in advance Chris

Great post fella Nicely written and great pic's to add to the tale You've made my day Many thanks ps. I'm easily pleased,,,,, kidding atvb, Chris

I saw this one in Sloane Street just before xmas, on a very nice car [edit] I've got a cherished plate with MR and my initials,,,, and coincidently my age at the moment. Don't think it would be worth as much as I paid for it a few years ago though :(

Hi, yes that's all in, 2 good reels, 1 duff one for spares, and 9 spools. They are in good but used condition. HTH Chris

Selling my collection of coarse/match rods. 1] MAP Concept Match 18'/20'. Used 3 times but never hooked a fish, so it's a virgin, and is in A1 condition. Original cloth bag. £50 2] MAP Concept Super Match 15'/18'/20'. Also used very little, [and also a virgin] in A1 condition, the cork handled section still with its plastic covering. Original cloth bag. £70 3] Maver 4-Play Multi Tip [Quiver] 11'6"/13'. In VGC, hardly used. Original cloth bag. £50 4] Daiwa Whisker Kevlar WKL-11,13QT. 11'/13' heavy combo quiver.

Selling some used reels as per title. Firstly is a Team Daiwa- S 2503T. This is in used but good, clean, well maintained condition. As are the 2x shallow spools that come with it. Also comes with a deep spool that's never been used. Also original cloth bag. £30 posted. Secondly are 2x Daiwa 125M's. These are in used but clean condition. They both work well and come with 9x spare spools and a damaged spare 125M reel which could be used as spares, or fixed if it's possible. £30 posted, but can split to an agreed price. Thirdly are 2x Shimano Stradic X 3000 GTM's These are in used but very good well maintained condition. Each come with 2x shallow match spools and 1x deep spool, which are all in great condition. £40 posted each, but will do a deal if both go together. Payment by Bank Transfer only, or cash face to face. These are also for sale elsewhere. Please say yes on thread, followed up with a PM, thanks. Cheers Chris

Hi, if you found sacs with clear fluid and little white eggs in, in the muscle tissue, then in my experience they are tapeworm larvae. The other growth you describe, I've never heard of, so can't help with that. Myxi usually shows externally in some form or another, so I don't think it's myxi. HTH Chris

Yup, seen more than usual down in deepest east Kent. Will have to keep my eyes open for them on my permissions

All my myxi rabbits go in the freezer [carefully wrapped] then on to a BOP/Animal Centre. They are the favourite of the resident Cheetah's and Huskies, and the offal goes to the various raptors

Pub restaurants are worth a try, especially the "private" ones,,,, if there are any Any place that's quite remote is always worth asking at. Just look at their menu's or phone and ask Village butchers too ? good luck

Just a quick Q on this subject if I may, hope you don't mind Gerry What's the best british wood to use for a walking cane ? I've been suggested Hazel, which with my intended project would be ideal But any suggestions for the "best" to last a while, as it's going to get used a lot. Also, what to look out for, ie; what part of the tree [new/old] etc, and as above, how to stop it bending/curving and would it need treatment of any kind ? Or perhaps, would it be a good idea to buy a cheap old one from a "junk shop" ? Q's,,,, so many Q's Thanks in advance, and good luck to the OP cheers Chris

Thanks for that fella, much appreciated If I have any success I'll put some pic's up,,,, maybe

Thanks fella Can I ask,,,, what wood is the stick made of ? Thinking about having a go at something myself,,,, won't be as good as yours, but hey, gotta give it a try atb Chris

Very nice work there fella, by both of you I take it that's a pheasant's head on the stick ? Love the way it merges with the wood, very nicely done ! atb Chris

^^^^ this was me this morning too,,,, until I read this thread [ with a small tear in my eye ! ] Wish Pete all the best and hope he continues to improve ATVB Chris

Hi fella, don't listen to all this doom 'n gloom It's hard starting out in any proffession. If your mind's set on it, give it a go,,,, you can allways pull out, and look back on the experience Good luck !!!

Some good advice for you there I'd recommend a lightweight steel frame, possibly out of small sized SHS [square Hollow Section]. Like I suggested before, run it past a structural engineer, then that'll give you a better detail to price from. atb Chris

Maybe £50 is even more of a deterrent

Thank you kind sir

I thought I'd read it somewhere. It just stuck in my head somewhere,,,, rattling around :blink: If someone can confirm this either way, please do,,,, thanks. Chris

Just thinking along the lines of trapping [picking up] a pest species and releasing it, not despatching it Don't know if I'm wrong Please correct me if I am

Yeah, that of course is correct. Another option/theory to the OP..... There is nothing to stop farmers/land owners picking up infected rabbits and introduce them to certain areas Unseen of course, as I'm sure we all know that is illegal Anyway, it is, and always will be, an ongoing battle,,,, especially for the bunnies

Something that size must involve building reg's surely ? Correct me if I'm wrong. Could you not run it past an architect or structural engineer ? I'm sure the latter would give you what you're asking, and do some drawings for a small fee atb Chris

Hi Mr W, it's not just in your area, and I doubt if anyone would "infect" an area with myxi out of spite or jealousy. I shoot down in east Kent, and have the same as you Also, I'm in touch with a couple of other shooters around the country. Cambridgshire is quite rife with it, some parts of Devon have it, and the Midlands too. Basically everywhere, but,,,, on my shoots, which are very small rural gardens and horse paddocks, there are some adjacent areas that have a healthy, thriving population of rabbits. One theory that has been suggested, is that myxi is appearing in the vicinity of railways through the land Not always, but in quite a lot of cases. Theories are only that, and my mind is open, but my shoots are directly next to a main line track, and as I said, myxi has done my work for me. My sentiments are the same as yours,,,, I enjoy being out there, doing a "job" with pleasure, and hate seeing any creature suffering. Hope it improves for you, as it probably will, as rabbits will never completely disappear atb Chris

Another very nice shot GG. Must say, I look forward to your pic's,,,, very classy and proffessional That bird is looking quite relaxed there, methinks atb Chris
