Copper pumps will last a few years, dependant on how often you pump. If an Alvey lasts you 20 years your not pumping much bait. Before I started making my own, an Alvey would last about 6 months before having to do a cut because the mouth had worn away and buckled, after the first cut you would be lucky to get another 3 months out of one before it was ready to be scrapped.

It is, well done Sherlock. Columbus

After a couple of days to cool down. I have to say. We should have won that game even with 14 men. Sam was sent off and under the new laws quite rightly so. That said, when you miss out on at least 11 points, 3 penalties and one conversion, that is not counting the two attempted drop goals, you cannot expect to win any international rugby match. It was the same for the SA match if we had got the balls (Wayne Barns apart) between the posts we would have won that game. The way modern defences are, it is hard to break them down, so when a kickable penalty is awarded you have to take that opportunity. No matter how flash Wales are playing with ball in hand until we can convert the pressure into points, we will always be also-rans.

That sounds like bad luck LB.

Well done! Nearly as long as me.

In fact Cranfield once resigned as a moderator over a disagreement over moderation. It was he who put Erns name forward as a moderator. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...ic=2088&hl= I must say though the few posts I have had deleted the mod has had the good manners to email me and tell me why.

If anything that netting looks like 4z that the normal cheapo nets are made of. If it is nylon would make a good longnet. Although it does look a bit stiff. Try some purse nets with it see how they go got nowt lo loose. Best bet is to send me a bale of it and I can then test it for you. :blink:

ill print my adress if you print yours and we will see who sleeps the longest and soundest.

Drove up to church stretton ( shropshire) tues seen a lot of rape on the way up there but hardly seen any pigeon at all. As we dont grow rape in this area i know nothing about it, is it usual to see no birds at all on rape at this time of year.

NTTF the bird is 11 months old and never been handled it has not started moulting yet its still in juvinile plumage. Took food today for the firsty time but is very wary. 2lb 5oz is a good size for a male redtail even though hes fat at the moment. He should start flying at about 1lb 15 oz or 2lb.

LOL ern nearly fell of my chair.

Got a new bird yesterday, 2lb 5oz of spitting fury that is a redtailed hawk.

Impresive to say the least.!!!!!

going in anyone fancy it

yp i found one the other day but i put my finger in the pram and she bit me.

First it was deeko's avitar then columba then columbus polumba what next.

And the winner is Maj columba polumbus is the latin name of the wood pigeon.

Does anyone know the latin name for the woodpigeon.

You mean that even though he had had his gun stolen the other two people just kept on shooting. Well ive heard of you pays your money and you taske your chances, but that takes the biscuit.

You need a pair of trainers, for creeping up on them. 32G no 6 shot , applied to the mole hill as its rising, then while the mole is still stunned, you dig with your hands and grab it by the tail. Grabing it any where else will lead to a nasty bite as it is only stunned for a few moments. This meathod has netted me dozens of moles. Try it, it really works.

can some one please tell me what b/deads avitar is i cant work it out.

Some of my dogs have been kept outdoors and some indoors i have not noted any diffrence in working ability some dogs are good some are not so good. I dont think it matters one bit to the dogs working ability if it its kept in or out. If the dog is properly trained to a standard then that dog will work no matter where it lives. By the way mine are kept out (for my conviance not the dogs).although i do think its a lot healthier for the dog.
