    Bull Fighting?

    Many younger Spaniards don't agree with the practice on cruelty grounds. It is a tradition, but it's a dying tradition that will peter out over the next few years as the older generation also peter out.
  2. Jesus, that's my idea of high rise Spanish hell! Maybe next time be a bit more adventurous, get out of the tourist traps and go and meet some normal Spanish, who, I should add, have in my experience nearly all been far friendlier and politer than most Brits I deal with!
  3. Well put and I couldn't agree more. How many times have I heard "Oh, he's great around the kids but not good with dogs" from a Staffie owner...what they actually mean is that it's an aggressive sod around dogs but it hasn't felt threatened by the kids yet...just a matter of time too often for my liking.
  4. I'll have it if still available, PM me payment details if so. Paul
  5. If the other dog attacked yours without provocation then, in your position I'd have been having some serious words with the other dog owner. Having said that, you've said that you are new to dog ownership and as such, are you sure that your dog wasn't at fault? Dogs don't generally bite without provocation. A dog on a lead is not necessarily a dog under control and vice versa, if your dog is pulling and straining on a lead toward a dog, then other dogs can take that as threatening?
  6. Unless it's a very large garden it should be pretty precise. For certain a AA S410 is capable of consistent head shots at 30 metres so long as the shooter is.
  7. ....and I'll third that. Picked up an as new A230 for a couple of hundred quid off ebay. Wasn't expecting too much of it, but what a brilliant camera! Cannot fault it for the money, the only thing it's missing is live view on the LCD, but the not much more expensive next up models rectify that if you need it. Picture quality, speed, and useability is all spot on. Big from me.
  8. Working on that one too, will advise you if and when I'm successful.
  9. Newbie airgunner looking for some vermin hunting experience in Sussex, willing to pay reasonable costs, looking to shoot with someone who can teach me about hunting rabbit and pigeon. I am in the Brighton area but willing to travel.

  11. To the user who messaged me yesterday (Steve), I can't get a message back to you, problem with the messaging manager on here. Call me on 01273 230576.
  12. Surely though that's just convenience, you COULD manage without it but it'd require a change in how you plan your life. In the same way, if I had to I could manage without a mobile. It'd be a proper pain in the **** as a lot of my work is emailed through, but I need to be on it fairly quickly, so I guess I'd be getting someone to check it every time I called in, and I could, as I used to, find a phone box after every job and 'call in'. Sure as hell wouldn't want to though!
  13. I'm looking to buy an Air Arms S400, I've been trawling the net quite a bit and so far found the best price relatively locally. Has anyone got a recommendation for a good and competitive gun shop, particularly in the South East please?
  14. As in the title, just registered here, am in Brighton and was actively hunting until a couple of years ago, moved abroad and then came back but had lost my permissions. Now getting my eye back in with HFT and searching for those elusive new permissions.
