Speaking as a person who used on that syndicate : Yes, there are deer in the area. No, they don't get shot - a number of the farmers like seeing the deer, and dropping deer would be a very quick way to lose the land for game and vermin shooting

I would profoundly disagree. Auctions mean you ONLY get real buyers, not the dreamers and timewasters - the usual requirement at an auction is that you MUST pay 10% of the hammer price at the time, the sale to be completed within 20 working days. The fall of the hammer forms a legally binding contract - if the buyers pulls out then they forfeit the 10% deposit. Yes, you may get less than the estate agent valuation, but it will realise it's real value on the day - and if you happen to get 2 or 3 people who really want it and can afford to pay over the odds, then it can do very well indeed. I've purchased a number of properties by auction over the years, and only on one occasion have I felt that I got the property cheaply

Motorway don't touch anything with over 100k on the clock, unfortunately

Strange that the 'Senodd' (it's actually Senedd) 'announced this', but there's no link to the actual announcement, which was probably done on a press release, so, you know, it would be on record or something, like on the Senedd's official website ? I've just had a look, and nothing there I can see Almost makes you wonder if it's a load of bull, doesn't it ? More likely it's one of the lunatic fringe green party has made an announcement that they WANT this to be looked at. Someone has added 2+2, got 46, and spread the word. 'Send reinforcements, we're going to advance', anyone ?

Hopefully that's fixed it - or else I've utterly screwed up ! Technology, eh !

Should be pictures on it, I've certainly got them showing up ?

WBAC are actually where the offer was from - £3.5k initially, dropped due to the damaged bits. I know prices are currently a bit silly, but we'd be happy with this price for the car - we bought it for a cheap price in 2017 (£6k), meaning that it's depreciated by somewhere around £500 per annum. I had a look on Autotrader, but the only problem is that these are quite rare, so not a lot to compare it against

We've decided to sell our old Forester 'X', due to the fact that it gets almost no use any more. 2012/62 Forester 2.0 (150hp) petrol, in blue with a 5 speed manual gearbox, permanent 4WD, proper high/low box. We've owned it since November 2017, the good lady upgraded to a newer version in summer 2019, meaning this became my 'shoot wagon'. Mileage since then on the MOTs : November 2019 : 100,380 October 2020 : 102,125 November 2021 : 105,653 Mileage today : 106,362 All checkable on the DVLA MOT history site. Everything works apart from the radio (aerial broke off, CD and bluetooth for phone etc work fine), the car does have a few scuffs and minor scratches. One light lens (rear driver's side) is cracked, as can be seen in the pictures. The decent-sized scuff in another picture is on the rear bumper, just below the cracked light. Features (I'm not going to list everything, only those things that might be extra - nothing more annoying than someone putting 'steering wheel') ! Heated front seats Dog guard (aftermarket) Bumper / boot sill protector (genuine Subaru item) Towbar with electrics (aftermarket) Average economy pottering about is 30mpg. Can get up to 33 on a run. Subaru had a recall a couple of years ago, they'd had a few cases of valve springs snapping. This car was in for that recall repair in summer 2021 I've been made a firm offer (after viewing) of £3200 from someone in the trade. As such, this is priced at £3500, and I am NOT willing to negotiate. If you'd like more, or higher quality images, or have any other questions, then please ask Any inspection welcomed Car is located near Denbigh, North Wales

A has been said, really. The fluting means the bolt is far easier to operate in frozen / snowy conditions, as the fluting allows the static surface area to be minimised. Or something like that - a friend in Accuracy International explained the reasoning, but I have to admit I wasn't paying full attention

We may have to just reduce number of birds that we take (even if we have to pay the full price and just take fewer) - I suppose we'll just have to wait and see what the situation is closer to the time !

A lot of good advice on here. A lot of people seem to just rock up at a farm, knock on the door, and ask if they can shoot / do pest control. Ask yourself how YOU would react in that situation ? If, on the other hand, the person is "I was walking over by the river yesterday, and noticed that the wheat / barley / whatever was getting hammered by the pigeons. I do a bit of pest control, and wanted to see if the farm had anyone looking after it ? Is it yours, or do you know who's it is ?" Now the farmer is going to view that approach differently, because : 1. You've identified a crop. Well done. That means you aren't a complete townie 2. You've identified a problem. And offered a potential solution. 3. You've shown that you have powers of observation. That you're switched on to the world around you. If the land is his, then you've at least got him interested. And if the person with the permission isn't doing the job, that now gives him the chance to sack them off, and get you in - or even just to give you a chance on that one field. Even if the land isn't his, he's now far more likely to say who does own it, and send you that way. Cold calling - in any situation - has a horribly low hit rate. And you are cold calling, trying to sell something, yourself.

If you only bought it a few days ago, and if you bought it from a garage, then take it back to where you bought it from for them to fix.

Pretty certain it would be illegal. You are causing the bird to basically be wandering around blind, unable to defend itself or escape from any predators. Such a course of action is, by default, 'animal cruelty' and thus a criminal offence. I'm sure there is no specified criminal offence of maiming a wild creature by ripping a leg off it, but it would obviously be a blatant an act of cruelty, and thus covered by the law.

It'd be illegal for any shop to actually fill that with air without a full clean out, the entire thing being repainted, serviced, inspected. the valve changed, etc, etc. Even then, I don't think it could actually be changed to a legal air-type valve, as the thread on those is completely different (precisely to stop people from using it for air by accident)

I would assume the reply was (like mine) in relation to London Best's post about vegetarians who shoot being hypocrites Much like some shooters who just blat away at pigeons or other species on the GLs are hypocrites, pretending they're doing it for all the right reasons, when all they really want to do is 'test themselves' - which they could just as easily do on the clays
