Whatever else you do in your gold trading don't take advice from Gordon the moron Brown!!!!
quite a few senior labour figures accrued some serious money around them in the years following that sale as the price rose, liar in chief and deputy ended up with lots more properties than thier salaries could ever have sustained, probably just a coincidence, socialists dont like personal wealth do they?

Instead of beaters getting involved in declaring their names, ni numbers and paying tax, would it be possible for a large commercial shoot to pay the tax for them and keep the beater's pay the same and at the same time maintain their anonymity
For example if the shoot normally have 10 beaters per shoot, being paid £25 each. The shoot would then pay say a token 20% tax for each beater, ie £5 for each beater = £50 per shoot.
Would this not be a simple way around all this cr*p?
its not really about maintaining anonymity and the tax amounts involved are fairly small its the bookwork and hassle shoots and beaters would most like to avoid,

Where is this?
next to the venue for the midland game fair

Unfortunately a bit far for me as it seems good value, out of curiosity is any tea, coffee or food included?
yes tea and coffee on arrival, soup and pie midway through the day, shoot through till around 3pm, unfortunately we dont yet have facilities to offer a post shoot dinner on site, as the shoot lodge formerly a keepers house at one time is in need of a bit of an upgrade and what with all the other work involved i just havent got to that yet, but there are few good pubs nearby, so we have tried to set the price for these days as no frills driven days
-
due to taking on an extra 1800 acres of a neighbouring estate we have a few days left to let in december and january, these will be 100 bird + driven days predominantly pheasant, price will be £325 per gun based on 8 guns,no overage charge we peg for 9 guns.
the estate consists of about 350 acres of woodland with the farming split between arable and veg production and has always been a shoot, although has been run as a small syndicate shoot for some years, dates available to suit providing they dont clash with days on our home estate, saturdays are best for us
if interested please pm me with a contact number and i will get in touch, if you would like to have a look around the shoot before booking with us i would be happy to give you a guided tour,

The one on my leg was defiantly a hornet. I see larch flys with my job. Oh & their only harmless unless your covered in tree sap
yes thought a woodpecker would prob know a hornet from a larch wasp but hornets are yellow and black not brown unless they have taken to dust bathing
-
sounds like a larch wasp to me, not all that common and fairly harmless, but they do look a bit fearsome, the big stingy looking thing is for laying eggs in bark

A totally cynical vote grabbing tactic but I would rather pay to attempt to help improve childrens education than pay benefits to those that flitter it away on fags and booze.
Todays children are the future of this country and will be the ones paying the tax to keep this country going whilst our generation will be wetting the bed.
that is exactly what it is but i would rather kids had a meal via cameron and clegg awful though they are than still be living under blair and browns faux socialist spend anything to stay in power bunch
-
i would be tempted to stick with the farming, i have been keepering for nearly 25 years, the harder you work the more days you get asked to provide, the expected bags get bigger every year the first day gets a week earlier every year. farmers only come out when the sun shines, and even then only after they have claimed a eu subsidy for tinted windows in the range rover, new raybans etc.

did you get fed up of cheesy chips in the cafe next to the pub?

27.5 of accurate arms 2520 not the usual powder for this round, 39gr sbk remington 7.5 primers, rifle savage mod 12fv with thumbhole stock,warne mounts and edgar brothers 20x42 shoots quite straight
-
I would also try extending the electric fence. Either put up an additional fence around the pen, a few metres away from the existing fence, or take a few spurs off at 90 degrees from the existing to give the dog a shock as it runs around the pen. Once its had a shock or two it won't be too keen on going back
why spend money when you can pick up a dead badger off the road, place it and let nature take its course, i dont even speak to the dog walkers anymore, the ones that dont or cant control thier dogs have gone somewhere else, its far less hassle, roadkill badgers are best because nothing drags them away to eat them and they remain stinking for weeks
-
leave some roadkill or dead rabbits etc. just off the path as said if the hound rolls on something stinky and gets in the car or house they will go elsewhere or keep it on a lead, works a treat for us.

the big increase in buzzard numbers coincided with the widespread use of larsen traps, we dont trap or kill any corvids any more, the big flat nests are a soft target for magpies, carrions and now ravens. corvids take far less birds than buzzards
-
best thing i have found to deter them is ravens, we have 2 broods of young ravens near our largest pens and when they are around the buzzrads just disappear, i dont know if they take young buzzards but i would think they do, ravens are increasing rapidly here and dont seem to bother the birds much

if him and his housemate are too thick or arrogant to realise that an ex partner will grass them up with everything she knows when she finds out he is bonking someone else then they really are not special enough to be special forces

aye there's wormer in the mini pellets
what is the name of the drug that is in the pellets? avatec is routinely incorporated into game feed but is a coccidiostat as is baycox and will not cure gapes or any other worms, as paul said aspergillosis and also infectious bronchitus give similar symptoms to gapes, flubenvet is what i use but panacur is faster if you are loseing birds, when its very wet like it has been, it is more useful to mix the panacur with a bit of vegetable oil and mix into the pellets, a cement mixer is handy for this job, above all dont leave it any length of time before you act, the birds start to feed less and less and then become exposed to other diseases and it can all spiral downwards very quickly

We have two ponds on our shoot with predominantly cattle in the grazing fields on one side and arable crops on the other. We use auto timer feeders on 45 gallon drums and the ducks have been fed pond side in the past. Last year we had considerable difficulty in getting the ducks off the water.
If we were to feed away from the ponds, it would be easier to site the feeders in the grazing fields, so that the ducks don't ruin the crops. However, we then have the issue of the cattle getting at the grain, we've got past experience of what cattle can do to the feeders when they've escaped into a field containing them on the pheasant drives.
We can't be alone in having this problem, so does anyone know what methods we could use to protect the feeders from the cattle.
four posts and some stock netting upside down so that the big holes are at the bottom, birds can walk through

Hi all, got my duck poults a couple of days ago and they all settled in well. This is my first year of putting ducks down, and am a bit worried because they seem to be quite tame and not bothered about me being near them. Is this normal or not?? Also how often do I need to check on them without making them even more tame!!! Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
they are always tame when you have them, the trick to getting them to fly is feed them away from the pool if they are hopper fed put it on wheels so that you can move it every few days and end up with them feeding about 200 yards from pool, if you dont you will end up chaseing them about with boats and all sorts of other silly stuff trying to make them fly and eventually give up haveing ducks, this is going to be the last time i give advice on ducks as nobody has the balls to feed them away from the water round here and i am kind of tired of repeating myself

None of mine drilled yet, just to wet with low soil temperatures. Got 11 drives to go in. Raining very hard now with more forecast so cant see anything getting drillled to late next week at best.
As long as its in by the end of June it should catch up.

what are you sowing? maize wont cob here if its in any later than about now, i gave up waiting on farmers and contractors a few years ago and bought my own power harrow, sprayer and fert spreader, did 45 acres this time and it was in before the end of may, looking good so far, although some sunshine would be nice,

had a .204 for 2 seasons and reload for it and haveing used all the others i wouldnt swap it for anything, its cheap to reload, setup an inch high at 100 and its still shooting half inch groups an inch high at 225 yards, components readily available when i want them, very little recoil and surprisingly quiet even unmoderated, mine is a savage 12fv its no lightweight but you would have to spend serious money to find a more accurate rifle in any calibre
