Immense!!!

Oh, come on. Religion has been around in one form or another for almost as long as us.

More than one it would seem.

Had my best day on a spring ploughed field that had been maize the autumn before. No idea what they wanted, as you couldn't see any maize kernels lying around, nor anything else come to that, but they sure wanted that field. Well done all.

Exactly and will never get a penny from me.

Indeed.

No, we need incentives to increase the birthrate of the indigenous population.

In the autumn of 2013 I saw 7 reds in a field next to the M25 on the northbound carriageway not far from Staines. This was around 4:15 in the afternoon.

Yes, IMO, religion was originally a way to account for the things that we could not explain, and then morphed from there.

Yep, and all inherited from our distant ancestors. This documentary about our closest living relative gives a good insite. 🤣 No, but you can bet he was thinking it.

Superb. Bravo, sir.

Bog standard terrestrial.

Also committed a robbery and kidnap, for which he served 9 years, I believe.

Funny, that, hey!

There's been many a time when I could have slapped a fallow on its backside when flushed from the wild bird seed cover. They love to couch in it. Give it time, they'll get there.

Had fallow want to commit hari kari quite a few times, in and around the Epping Forest area and around my shoot near Chelmsford. Essex is alive with them.

Have you seen the footage of them stabbing each other on the French beach to get a place on a dingy? Jesu, that cannot even wait to get hear before they get all stabby. Ah, I see someone has posted the very same above. Of course you have. Are you Whoopi in disguise.

I get through a paperback a week or week and a half on average. If you like a crime/detective novel with a bit of history mixed in, the Matthew Shardlake series by C.J Sansom, set under the Tudor reign of Henry VIII are are good read. Dissolution. Dark Fire. Sovereign. Read them all. Love Tom Sharpe. Kaffir Killer Konstable Els 🤣 Boom boom!!

Indeed, a great way to get the messages.

Similar to rolling baits for barbel and chub, then.

Are you holding bottom, or bouncing the bait through with 2oz?

The last time I saw game hanging in a butchers was in Wells Next the Sea in 2014. I also remember a poultriers/butchers in Leadenhall market in the heart of the City of London had all manner of game and wildfowl hanging up in season, but that was a long time ago, now. It's now a poncy sandwich bar.

Indeed. A good shop that has been around for years.

Regularly use 5oz of lead for carp fishing. If starting out with a fixed spool reel, you'll do a lot worse than watch this guy, Terry Edmunds, Intl. casting champion. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=terry+edmonds+casting+tuition+

Absolutely bang on.
