  1. I've had young herons beg for fish, one last summer kept walking up and down the bank behind me within inches as I was lure fishing. It was stood watching me retrieve small perch and edged closer every time I cast out 

  2. I've hunted rabbits with a 70s made meteor, get close and head shot them. My first gun, my stepdad gave me it in about 85 and it was old then. My school friend got a meteor super for his 15th birthday and I'm pretty sure he hunted a few things with that. 

  3. I don't use a garage, a friend services my current car. Seat altea xl 2 litre tdi. This is also fully synthetic oil. I have it serviced every 10-12 k so about every 6 months. Breaks checked, shockers etc. Its needed one shocker and the breaks doing, generally wear and tare and it's cam belt etc was done at 85k. 

     

    I do like the idea of a smaller petrol car next time, if it handles 20k of motorway driving a year

    Another vote for the Jazz here,2yr with one ,it was one of the best thought out cars I`ve owned ,like a Tardis for carrying stuff ! Ran on fumes too ,why have diesel!!!!

    Not sure a 1.3 petrol engine is good for high miles, a young lad was given his mum's 6 Yr old jazz and its been looked after but high millage and its starting to cost him money

    Probably blessing in disguise I could not think of a better place to be February than Jamaica instead of up to your knees in rain water & freezing your balls off in the UK.

    There is that 😀😀.. 

     

  6. I've been here 14 yrs, started on **** money but proved myself worthy of more. Hopefully nobody ends up out of work if we all have the mindset of a job doing less work and therefore less money is still better then no job we should be safe. See what October brings when the government stops thurlough

  7. Yes it's a job, I've taken a pay cut. Lost 6. 5 hrs pay on a Friday. It just makes me cross when I wasn't thurloughed and worked to kerp the place running along with the lads that were thurloughed, yet they get 2 days work or obviously non and still get a living wage. If I drop more hours on on less then their rate but I'm still working to keep the place afloat. 

    That's, my weekly rant. Sorry lads. End of speal 😀

  8. Had the dreaded we would like you to think of ways to save the firm money. 

    One is doing your same job for less money!.. 

    Then I'm on the same money as someone less skilled and they are currently thurloughed while I can't be. 

  9. Seen lurcheers and terriers bred older to keep Lines going, they usually have a smaller litter size. If she is fit and well and has what you need in a brood bitch then why not. Just make sure you have homes for the pups and a few people extra because you will always get someone back out of wanting a pup
