    Thanks for the link! When I packed up smoking I had 14 out of a box of 25 Cohiba Esplendido Cuban cigars left in the humidor.....according to the source in your link, they are now £41.99 each or £992.99 per box of 25!.........might try smoking one on my 70th? Lol!

    Apparantly they were made exclusively for Fidel Castro at one time, and are reputed to improve with age?

    As long as they have been stored correctly they will be fantastic.

  14. Asking for shooting on first post

    I beat regularly on both syndicate days and let days on a good local shoot, I have done for the last 5 years. None of the beaters get any pay or a beaters day. I also help the keeper looking after the birds and a bit of trapping throughout the year. I really enjoy it but it hasn't led me or any of the other beaters to firing a single shot on the shoot or any other permissions.

    Shame they don't do ear defenders for dogs. My 12 year old springer seems to be deaf now (hard to tell, perhaps he's just fed up doing what he's told!), and a friend who shoots more than me has had two dogs go deaf at an earlier age, as has he in one ear. I've not always worn ear defenders on the marsh as I never seem to get many shots (compared to others perhaps), even so have got near constant tinnitus in my left ear, not a good sign I guess. Could be coincidence, or just old age for dog and owner, anyone else had experience of dogs going deaf?

    You can get ear protector for dogs. We use them at work all the time

    Carrying a card stating that you are unable to be searched at the roadside isn't that uncommon Lloyd,  think precious loads,  jewellery, booze, cigarettes, all have been targeted by criminals . You just show the card to the police officers , through the window , and you will be escorted to the nearest police station for the search to be carried out. 

    I have never heard of this and I've been in the police for 13 years
