    Carp

    monks farmed carp 100's? of years ago stew ponds, fish on friday
  2. woo thats a bit spooky both typed that at the same time I'll change the great north bit to western isles
  3. Probably foot-rot with sheep and perhaps not worried by fox being adult sheep without lambs. I could be wrong though, often am,
  4. I've a 53 plate which is "resting" at the moment biggest problem with it, was loosing power at 2500rpm eventually advised a filter in the fuel pump at fault, changed injectors and fuel filter, also despite no warning light on dash, failed to charge new battery ending with difficulty when starting, also rust hole in back axle leaking oil, plus a couple of other problems, it had done approx 100,000 when bought and took a couple of years for problems to show. good luck with your future buy
  5. Me to. I've also shifted a few cases of wine and the odd bottle whiskey when forced too
  6. Thanks for all the excellent replies (PW come up with goods again) So its alright to use the red if your reg as an agric vehicle and you only go from one part of your holding to another, Red will disperse with a couple of filter changes if by a weird mischance you managed to splash some into your tank. Another question Years ago I was an agric contractor and did hundreds of miles per year in Ford 5000's, is this now illegal? Hope you all have good year
  7. Thanks for the great answers Iv'e found it easier to list some of the things that don't make a man arrogance laziness deceitfulness pomposity small mindedness selfishness the list goes on Have a great year
  8. Above are the closing words of the very famous poem by Rudyard Kipling, IF I think this forum would be a great place to ask the question " What makes a man"? I'm expecting not asking stupid questions.
  9. Free range guineafowl that sounds like good idea how much could I expect to pay for say 100 and is there a method of delivery
  10. Surely BOP numbers increase because man has introduced large quantities of prey /food into the wild, therefore sporting estates are in-directly responsible for a large proportion of the BOP we are able to watch and enjoy today, Bird watchers should thank sporting estates, Perhaps keepers should release more to make up for the shortfall, should the RSPB help cover the cost of releasing more Pheasants to feed BOP? should I get my coat
  11. I posted this on behalf of an ex work-mate, (bless) although he made my life a misery I have forgiven him and wish to move on. Thanks for all the great replies though, I will make sure he reads them
  12. We just had the same old turkey
  13. Has anyone made a sound moderator for a single barrel shotgun 410 or 12 if so any tips, or even any point?
  14. Thanks for that. Do you know if these tests/anal izers are available to general police cars
  15. Clearly not, I think the price of fore-court fuel very reasonable in fact it should be more!
  16. Does anyone know how long red diesel would take to work its way through the system if anyone was foolish enough to have used it in the past, if they had run short of white (for example!) hypothetically
  17. Its not ITX and I suspect not as heavy as C&G heavy, I dont think they do 10bore cartridges in hevi
  18. thanks for that.That is the type of load I use, could you explain what you mean
  19. I may be the only one replying to this post so for me and anyone else who may be interested Heavy shot II is At least as heavy as lead ( heavier!) May be used with older doubles Does not require steel proof Does not fracture As far as I know not available to the home-loader in the UK
  20. Thanks for that gents that has cleared it up as far as I'm concerned Cheers
  21. interestingly? the shot count (131) for 28g of UK 3s is approx the same as uk lead in the same size according to the Hallowell & co shot size table. I did recount several times
  22. Another question( didn't want to confuse with the last one.) Iv'e been using recipes mostly Alliant and others that don't specify shot size so Iv'e just gone ahead and loaded the size I have to their given weight am I looking for trouble. The loads are all 10 bore using 3s 1s and BB in lead and usually 50-60 gm
  23. Iv'e recently been given some hevi shot 3s 135 per oz, its a uniform shape round with a ridge easily crushed with pliers. Looking at previous posts I believe its hevi shot II BASC say it can be treated as lead, Q can I use through my full choke 10 bore proofed 1200Kp/cm (1176 bar ?) but without the fluer-de-lys stamp. sorry to bring this up again but I would just like to finally clarify before loading, also does anyone know of any recipes for the same,cheers
  24. I bought a goose call last year, its amazing watching the geese flying off in the other direction probably wont be going to my local tesco as i dont want to be arrested for goose torment
  25. I've always thought( perhaps wrongly) narrow tyres low revs and higher gear on snow and wide tyres on sand and mud, cant see why a deep tread would be a problem on any surface, you could always carry chains!
