  1. Most of the Welsh villages around my way were built around the mining industry, and the men living with the constant danger involved with their work formed a close friendship, but also constantly taking the mickey out of their mates.

    Every village had a few rat packs, they would spend the weekends tramping the mountains and woodlands after foxes, or whatever.

    They had a friendship that I don't think you will see in other industries.

    And their dogs were a right mottley collection of terrier crosses, and it was not unusual for one of them to open his shirt and take a ferret out if the dogs marked a rabbit.

    They were a different generation of true hard working men, which I don't think we will see again.

    The only ex miner I know on here that spent a few years underground is garygreengrass.

     

    Well you learn something new everyday!

  2. Great work and I bet you've been firmly bitten by your first day out.

     

    Hmm choke size, now there's a can of worms, but here goes.... I'm 1/4 in both barrels, but very occasionally swap out for 1/2, but only when shooting clays.

     

    Next you'll be asking about shot size lol...

  3. Completely agree with you about the mincing state of nitromors, meant to be a new improved formula, my *****. When I bought the London gun stock kit from my local gun shop, they kindly lent me a can of Napier varnish stripper, which worked in one go.

  4. We did this to our garden about 2 years ago, as it was sloping away from the house with a 3ft drop in level. Put in a retaining cement block wall about 18m long, it then took near enough 30 tonnes of rubble/bricks etc of back fill. Waited a good month then 10 tonnes of soil, another month wait and around 5 tonnes to bring back to level.

     

    As mentioned, it was a heap load of work, but worth having done.

    Hi mate,

     

    I planted ten Dorset Naga seeds a few days ago.

     

    Nothing happening yet but I'll gladly send a few seedlings your way if I have any success :good:

     

    Thanks for the offer, I've been in touch with Mungler and have some seeds coming my way, so am sorted. Understand they can take weeks to germinate, so I'll need to be extra patient, which I'm usually not.

     

    I've about 30 seeds left over from a season or 2 ago which are still good. Yellow habanero and cherry bomb, bit mixed up, if anybody would like a few, pm me your address and they'll be in the post.

  6. Three divers sat on a boat, one bsac, one naui and one padi. Suddenly the boat runs into trouble and starts to take on water and sink!! The bsac diver turns to the others, right lets suit up, perform buddy checks, drop in and fin to the nearest island, maintaining regular navigational checks. The naui diver takes his turn, ok after suiting up, let's drop down to 5 meters, get below the swell, fin to the nearest island and maintain regular navigational check. Finally the padi diver put his oar, right then lets wait 5 mins, pay £50 squid and we've ourselves a wreck dive. Boom boom.

     

    Think you'll be fine if you go back to it, most companies will make everybody undertake an orientation dive before unleashing you on local shipping.

     

    I'd say BSAC is probably your best bet, if you don't fancy badge collecting.

     

    Oh and my PADI cards stamped, open, advanced, deep, wreck, rescue, medic first aid and nitrox, etc etc

  7. Use the search function in navi-x, you can find almost any film old and new. Also noticed one thread on there the other day, with all the Sky sports channels and ESPN. Happy days :good:

  8. Great video and a nice find mate. :good:

     

    We could do with some days like that, over here in sunny Wales. 4 times out on Cardiff foreshore and not a sausage, would've been knee deep in curlew though :lol:

     

    Saying that, you can never tell who hit the bird first, down this way :whistling:

  9. It might already be there, open xbmc and go to program's, navi-x will be there if installed. I've only done this once on my Apple TV, so am a bit hazy on the details, but here's the website I used www.xbmchub.com

     

    Good luck
