  1. I didn't want to just drift away ( not my style) so I thought I would let you all know that's it for me, I've decided to call it a day permanently on the PW forum .... I've been a member since 2003 and joined when it was a great and informative site.... but I feel its been eroded away in the last few years.( in part by idiots like me) :lol:

     

    I'm afraid I've outgrown it and its time to move on to something else. I have lots of other things to do and have been spending far too much time on the site in recent months. My wife thinks we are all children and she is probably right :lol:

    To be honest, I've been a shooter for over 40 years and probably wont even renew my shotty this year. I intend to do more conservation work for the RSPB and BTO and also dedicate more time to painting birds rather than shooting them and fishing which is my first love.

    Its been fun winding you kippers up over the last 12 months but its time for you all to play amongst yourselves. :lol:

    I will still honour my pledge for the winner of the PW fantasy league so who ever wins please pm me with your choice of bird.

    You wont be hearing from me again and I wont be looking in ( honest )

     

    Remember all..... shoot within the confines of the law, show some respect and compassion for your quarry and you will always have sport ( particularly if you vote Conservative ) sorry could resist that one :lol::lol:

    Good luck to all (particularly KW, Poontang, Welsh One and Scully who have been admirable adversaries) and all the other good friends and acquaintances I've made in the last 12 years...I sincerely wish you all well.thanks.gif.pagespeed.ce.8dph9GhVFt.gif and goodbye.

    Per ardua ad astra..

     

    Mike.

    FM please don't go back on your word!

     

     

     

     

     

    You are a MAN OF YOUR WORD aren't you?

    Oh yes Tightchoke absolutely...any one who knows me Integrity is my middle name... that's it for me.... I've been a member since 2002 and joined when it was a great and informative site.... but its been eroded away in the last few years.

  3. Spoke to customer service, they put a stop to it already and have said it will be refunded to the paypal account within the next 48 hours. Also changed password and security questions.

     

    I'm just left wondering now how they got my details and password in the first place. Not a nice experience at all!

    You have my sympathy...I got caught similarly last year...the Paypal site was very plausible...I believe they just send out thousands and thousands of computer generated emails until one address strikes lucky.

     

    I changed my email address to as many characters as possible ( within reason ! )

     

    Hope you get it all sorted without any personal loss.

  4. Pathetic Mike, frankly. You try and stifle debate simply by shouting racist often enough; it's a tried and tested method used by those who refuse to discuss openly any topic in which their argument defies logic.

    YOUR Tory government is talking about opting out of this latest spate of 'boat people', unless I'm mistaken, and are also debating anti extremism laws to stifle free speech now they are free from the shackles of Liberalism, and the Governor of the Bank of England has also been quoted saying what Farage initially claimed some years ago. Racists Mike? By your logic, most certainly. You voted them in, not me.

    More political point scoring by the kipper nimbys ? This is fundamentally about the race issue as you lot put it..don't try and gild it up any other way with clever rhetoric because I and other intelligent posters can see trough it.

    Yes I did vote them in so did many millions more who don't have the same extreme political views ...You really cant get over it can you.

    I hope this forum isn't going to be bombarded with 5 years of anti everything other than ukip, white and British otherwise I'm off and you bitter disillusioned lot lot can post your bile amongst yourselves and stew in your own self pity.

  5. Fisherman Mike - Cornish pasties, made in Cornwall and excellent:-

     

    Horse and Jockey at Porthleven.

     

    Philps at Hayle.

     

    Malcolm Barnecutt at Wadebridge - finest I have ever had.

    Sorry you misunderstand me ..I meant to say real Cornish pasties don't know of any one that makes genuine Cornish pasties these days, which are savory (meat or fish one end) and sweet the other.

    saw some in a bakers in Penzance many years back but not recenty.

  6. There you go again; any opportunity to play the race card. It isn't a question of race for crying out loud; just when are you going to get it? I refuse to believe you are simply that stupid or naive, so therefore it must be deliberate.

    Claiming it is these individuals who supply us with the oil is entirely inaccurate and spin worthy of Campbell at his best, and would be hilarious if I didn't think you were serious. Are you seriously suggesting that by using oil, which we pay for I might add, from a government which fails to cater for and in some cases persecutes its own people,makes us

    morally responsible for their well being? Hypocritical muppet? Get a grip man.

    I have no objections to giving aid to these people, and I have no objections to funding it, so long as they're returned after doing so.

    Thats exactly what it is and you know it.!

  7. What the....

     

    Seriously kW, I had you down as a thinking man. What is it, let them die or just hope that someone else can deal with it? If we, as a wealthy, prosperous nation cannot help then who the hell can?

     

    There have been some seriously socially retarded attitudes on this thread as well as some ill informed scare mongering that is nothing but grist for the daily mail mill.

     

    Should we take some of these human beings? Yes. Should we do everything in our power to negate the root causes of these desperate acts and break up the criminal gangs that risk lives for profit? Hell yes. Should we blame and vilify the people that attempt the journey? No, because you would do exactly the same if you were brave enough.

    Indeed and people trying to score political kudos out of others misery... disgusting...as a wealthy developed nation we should be doing all we can to help these poor people...

     

    I'm afraid I've completely lost faith in some members of the human race and they accuse me of being arrogant and self centred. !

  8. are you for real if so think of my grand children you are one very stupid person

    I'm for real mate...boy are the closet racists out in force tonight...I can only imagine you've been drinking..I don't give a **** about your grandchildren...this is now and happening to people we've been trying to exploit for the last 150 years... I bet your quite happy to fill your car with their oil... Hypocritical Muppet

  9. Far too many vehicles in London these days...

     

    Boris is many things but he's certainly not an idiot.

     

    Personally I think a cycle super highway is a great idea

     

    Unless we do something radical about the volume of traffic entering our major cities before long they will be like china gridlocked for hours and hours at a time.

  10. Cornwall is many things but its certainly not cheap.!

    Plus Cornish Pasties don't exist these days do they ?...when I was in St Ives last year I walked up through the town very early morning. A delivery driver was loading trays of pasties into one of the shops on the high street and I had a chat with the driver...He had driven down that morning from Birmingham.. The pasties were made in Solihull.

    Thanks to the return of a stable Conservative Government the pound has really soared, so why not take advantage of a package deal abroad..it will be much cheaper .........one of the benefits of being in the EU :lol:

  11. There was a quite a bloom of greenfly from the local trees surrounding my house this afternoon and the Martins and swallows were having a field day mopping them up in flight.

     

    I sat on a reclining chair watching them, mesmerised for a good hour. They were gradually climbing as the flies rose on the thermals to a height when they were almost out of sight.

     

    I noticed at about 12 -1500m up a single raptor just hanging in the wind I thought it was a kestrel at first but when I got the bins on it I made out the form of a juvenile Peregrine.

     

    It was really amusing watching it single out and diving on the Martins sporadically before climbing and trying again and again.

     

    Then a group of racing pigeons flew down the valley about 500 or so feet below and it folded its wings and dived into the middle of them...being inexperienced it missed the intended target and after pulling up and rounding on it proceeded to chase it across the sky for a good 10 seconds before giving up ( peregrines don't have the level flight speed to out run a 45 MPH pigeon on the wind )

     

    Not to be outdone it climbed again and hung in the wind for a few more minutes until we both spotted its next intended victim. A solitary magpie was fighting directly underneath it albeit quite a distance away. I was amazed at what the bird did next... it folded into dive position and at an angle almost vertical dived at a speed which was incredible to the naked eye, it missed the magpie first pass, which, obviously alarmed, foolishly decided to climb rather than head for the tree canopy.

     

    Quick as a flash the peregrine turned, climbed again and was on it within seconds. The two birds intertwined spiralled towards the ground, The magpie broke free but was obviously injured as its flight was slow. Within a second or two the peregrine hit again from behind and slowly drifted to the ground into a field behind the church yard....

     

    Isn't Nature an amazing thing.

  12. Ordinary people would have been put in prison...he had the money to settle out of court.

     

    Decent club player but played for Liverpool in an era when they were poor generally

     

    Never really consistent for England.

     

    Remarkable achievement playing just for one club though in this day and age.

  13. Australia seem to be doing Ok with that outlook. And as for them being refugees, don't you think they look a bit well dressed for someone who's come from a war torn country, not to mention the thousands of £££ they've paid for the passage ?? :whistling:

     

    They're immigrants and that's the top and bottom of it, they want to come here and live a life of benefits, paid for by us. If the do gooders want them here then YOU pay for them and put them in YOUR spare bedroom, don't get telling me what I should be doing about something that concerns neither YOU or I.

     

    If their country's so bad then stop breeding, that way the kids won't starve to death. Who in their right mind would keep having kids knowing the last batch starved to death, I ask you ? They should be taken outside and neutered with two house bricks. !!!

    Foreign aid and interference cause most deaths, we just perpetuate the misery.

    Sieg Heil !

    As I do have unrestricted access to the information populated by the aforementioned organisations ('Mare Nostrum' does not exist any more, partly thanks to British efforts to shut it down last year) as a means to complete part of the work I do for your master (whose subject you are), I know you are talking out of your pootongue. It will take far more than completing a quick goggle search for immigration statistics or whatever your social worker performed on your behalf to convince anyone that your wild conjectures are based on any actual statistics. I deal with actual numbers nearly on a daily basis so I know what you are full of, pootongue. You make a very bold claim that the vast majority of people coming to Europe from Asia, Africa and elsewhere are immigrants who are after financial gains in our continent. You seem to be very sure about it. I asked to see where you base your claim, and you gave no answer, other than asking me who I voted for. It is you who is evading the issue at hand, trying to divert the conversation. I say that most people who risk life and limb to reach Europe are not doing so because they want to take jobs and claim benefits in this country, scaring at the same time the orange people of Essex, but are fleeing war, persecution and abuse. I answered to KW that most likely the truth is somewhere between the interviews he he is watching and the ones I did. If you would like to demonstrate otherwise, now is the time, and here is the place...

     

    You keep asking me about my vote. Well, pootongue, votes are secret for a reason. It is none of your business who I voted for, and no matter how loud you howl, it will remain so.

    I would say that's game set and match. :lol:

     

    Go steady with the white supremacists though....they get very aggressive when there true motives are exposed. :whistling:

  15. I am finding this increasingly fascinating by the day now.

    There's one who is so full of spite he attributes all manner of detestable traits to one particular party and is so blinkered in his hilariously illogical and blinkered ramblings that he conveniently overlooks equally detestable traits in all other parties, and another who has obviously exhausted his vocabulary of intellectual argument and so has now resorted to personal remarks about the condition of Farages teeth, claiming 'personal hygiene is important' to him. As important as honesty? Still waiting Mike.

    Don't sit on the fence ...which one of your UKIP PW chronies are you referring to..?

    My Money would be on KW. :yes:

     

    Ok I'll stop now, I think you kippers have all been ridiculed and humiliated enough as pay back for the 80 odd pages of pro-ukip drivel you subjected us all to pre election

     

    I hope, though, you can all come to terms with the fact that the Conservatives won a majority, Britain wont be leaving the EU anytime soon, and you will have to accept Mr & Mrs Kumar might still move in next door.

     

    I still think Farage should do something about his stained teeth though. :whistling:

     

    Bye and thanks for a interesting and lively debate...thanks.gif.pagespeed.ce.8dph9GhVFt.gif

  16. Reached the bottom of the barrel i see :rolleyes:

    No not at all... any politician that makes a career of oration ought to at least take some pride in his personal appearance, especially when they are in the public eye.

     

    Personal hygiene is very important to me

     

    Didn't matter what he was saying on qt the other night I was put off by them

  17. seems liebor are in a worse state now ,looks like chukka has chucked it, does no one want to be a leader of one of the BIG ha ha ha two,come on FM how come your spleen is not being vented over them then, or is it as I suspect only UKIP that really really worries your little plums.

     

    KW

    Thanks for your concern about my spleen and plums I would worry about your own...

  18.  

    How's the diet going Fisherman Mike, I haven't seen any progress reports lately? :lol:

    Very well, thanks for asking, I'm 25% through the planned regime and have lost 25% of my target weight.

     

    I have loads of energy, and since I've lost the initial visceral fat which is the dangerous stuff around your organs, have never felt better.

     

    I'm not looking to lose too much weight as I am actually replacing fat with muscle using a high protein diet.

     

    I had a slight diversion at the Cotswold bash recently but all we ate was meat, meat and more meat so the protein intake was maintained. :lol:

  19. I bet Lucille is worth an absolute fortune now :lol: ...was lucky enough to catch a date on his 2006+ farewell tour at Wembley arena in 2009...the 75 year old John Mayall and 83 year old King still rocking it with gusto and passion.

     

    I have several of Kings albums including my favourite "there must be a better world somewhere"

     

    A life well lived. :yes:

  20. As question times go... one of the worst...It was a damp squib for me and I had difficulty staying awake.. Only Zanny Minton Beddoes held my interest and the audience seemed rather damp as well.

     

    I still think the infection in the UKIP party hasn't really set in yet and will increase in the next few weeks... the issue seems to be that the single MP is not the leader or vice versa... Carswell appears to be playing his cards close to his chest over this issue and I think perhaps many Ukip members would at least want to see the Leader of the party have a seat in the commons.

     

    Brian May looked like he was wasted.!

  21.  

    I don't think Brian May has the support of a MASSIVE majority, perhaps a small percentage of the Bunny Huggers at best!

    I think you overlook the fact that 90% of the country are not shooters and are animal lovers., or bunny huggers as you put it and the public always support someone who champions the animals.

  22. Growing pains for an up and coming party, nothing to see move along, still its never happened with your beloved cons has it? oh silly me I forgot about Heseltine turning on Duncan Smith, and Redwood V deadwood :lol: :lol: :lol:

     

     

    KW

    Very Droll...the Tories survived that though and came back twice as strong... I would be tempted to find another militant party to support if I were you because come 2020 I think UKIP will be history.

     

    Hopefully before tomorrow, Ukips ineptitude will have swelled my coffers even more thanks to a donation from Joe Ladbroke. :lol::lol: :lol:

    Complete and utter shambles UKIP is a collection of degenerates, has beens, band wagon jumpers (now jumping off) a joke party with a right wing racist agenda they wont be missed scuttling back under the rock from which they crawled :lol:

    That's incredibly astute of you.

     

    I've just struck another bet with Paddy Power that Farage will defect to the Conservatives.
