Sorry Daz, not me. Going fishing instead.

Not to be a complete sado TPS works great for UK cld calls as there are huge fines for ompanies that call TPS registered numbers. If a company has a relationship with you were you have bought goods of them in the past they are allowed to contact you. This is the case with BT as most of us in the UK will have our line rented from BT as they are the incumbent. BT will not take notice of TPS and will continue to try and sell their over priced phone services. I'm not a geek just work in telecoms. Cakie

What should they be fed. I am always worried about these mixes containing non indigious seeds that will grow like weeds in the gardens and hedgerows. Cakie

I no longer need these items so I need to get rid of them to make space. Make me an offer on any of them... 1 bucket of steam 1 bucket of compressed air 2 boxes of grinding sparks 3 boxes of rubber nails and a glass hammer 1 left handed claw hammer 2 long weights 1 set of sky hooks 2 skirting board ladders 1 bucket of tartan paint I can post pics if need be. Buyer must collect.

An 80-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up. The doctor asked him how he was feeling and the 80-year-old said Things are great and I've never felt better. I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. So what do you think about that?" The doctor considered his question for a minute and then began. "I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter and never misses a season. One day when he was setting off hunting, he was in a bit of a hurry and accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun. As he neared a lake he came across a very large male beaver sitting at the water's edge. He realized he'd left his gun at home and so couldn't shoot the magnificent creature but out of habit he raised his cane, aimed it at the animal as if it were his favourite hunting rifle and went 'BANG, BANG! Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead. Now, what do you think of that?" asked the doctor. The 80-year-old said, "If you ask me, I'd say somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver." The doctor replied, "!!!right??"

George was a gentleman, a very warm heart that people from all over the UK and Ireland respected. He was hounded by the press whom always couldn't wait till he tripped up. He was more of a man than all the press people put together. RIP

Hi I read this article on a US website and enjoyed it. Even though we believe our mad US cousins are a bit crazy. enjoy Cakie Hey PETA, Eat This! A Thanksgiving tale. By Stephen Spruiell Each year around Thanksgiving, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals makes the evening news with some new campaign to get people to stop eating turkey. This year PETA wants me to believe that if I enjoy my annual serving of turkey at Thanksgiving, then I'm probably going to get the Asian bird flu. In order to make sure I'm aware of the threat, PETA members will "lie naked in flower-decorated coffins outside the Department of Agriculture" — just in case I walk by. As an alternative, PETA says I should ingest something called "tofurkey." Although I'll pass on the tofurkey, I would like to thank PETA for its sincere concern for my health and in return, offer up a little Thanksgiving anecdote sure to warm the cockles of their turkey-loving hearts. We show up at the ranch pretty early — usually before dawn — to start setting up for the turkey shoot. For me, that involves standing around, drinking coffee and trying to avoid any actual work. Slowly, folks from all over start trickling in — greeting friends, trying to stay warm, and setting up tents where they'll serve barbeque, tamales, and beer for the rest of the day. Still others take out their rifles and start sighting in at the firing range. At the end of the range is a ditch. Pretty soon, if I'm working at the shoot, I have to take the four-wheeler down to the ditch and help set up. That involves taking a live turkey out of a trailer full of them, zip-tying its legs, and putting it in a wooden box with just its head sticking out. Another zip-tie holds the head in place, and then the box goes on top of a platform in the ditch so that just the turkey's head and neck stick up over the top. It's $1 a shot. If you hit a turkey, it's yours. Same rules apply to the archery range nearby. A man and his wife are on the scene to clean your turkey and bag it. Local people get a turkey for (if they're good shots) less than they otherwise would have paid. Sometimes, if they're lucky, they can make two and have a Christmas turkey also. In addition, the proceeds from the shoot go to community organizations and charities. And it's a whole lot of fun. Everybody wins! Of course, I understand that the folks at PETA might not see it that way. Let me see if I can anticipate their objections and offer rebuttals. 1. The turkeys don't stand a chance: True, but neither do they stand a chance when they're lined up for the chopping block. At least this way is a bit more sporting. 2. It's not sporting at all: Okay, PETA, let's see you hit a target the size of a lemon from 100 yards. 3. What happens if the turkey doesn't die right away?: The box sort of explodes with wing-flapping, at which point one of us has to run out and drag it down and take the turkey out of the box and strangle it. 4. You're a sick freak: That may be true, but which one of us parades around in the nude on the sidewalk in front of the Department of Agriculture? Which, due to its proximity to the Smithsonian museums, is heavily trafficked by small children? 5. Yeah, but — : Speaking of children, PETA activists have always targeted this demographic in an attempt to alienate children from their parents and create a new generation of carnivore-hating radicals. The latest salvo in this effort is a series of comic books like "Your Daddy Kills Animals," featuring a villainous father hoisting a fish in the air and slicing it open with knife. The books contain graphic images and passages like, "Imagine that a man dangles a piece of candy in front of you. ... As you grab the candy, a huge metal hook stabs through your hand and you're ripped off the ground. You fight to get away, but it doesn't do any good... That would be an awful trick to play on someone, wouldn't it?" Probably the best thing about the turkey shoot is that there aren't any PETA weirdoes in the part of Texas where we have it, so no one has to put up with college students in a giant fish costumes calling us murderers or naked protesters telling us that Thanksgiving is worse than the Holocaust (unless, of course, we venture too close to Austin). I'll be going back there soon for a little break from the p.c. circus, and that's something for which I'm very, very thankful.

Thanks guys for all your advice. The jury is still out. What about black labs for my situation. Its a criminal situation but i have to take the other halfs (Mrs) consideration into account as she will have to see it and smell it and i want the dog in the house on an evening. I think my way forward will be to visit a few breeders or trials and introduce the two to various breeds. Cakie

Hi I am hoping to be in a position that i can own and keep my first working gun dog within the next six months and was hoping that you can offer me advice. I would prefer to get a Golden Retriever or a German Pointer for mainly rough walked up shooting. As this is my first dog i would hope that someone could advise if this are a suitable breed for a new owner. Were do you start looking for your dog? Is there a better time of the year to purchase and train? Can your dog be working and a pet? Is there any source information that you could recommend? Should i consider a part trained dog? Does anyone know of any breeders in Northern Ireland? Any advice would be welcomed Cakie

FM Im sure its a stupid question but whats a Boomslang?

Does anyone have any sure fire solution for keeping spiders out of the house. We same to be being over run with them this summer and they are huge. I don't want to kill them just prevent them from coming into the house. Thanks Cakie

What can each of do to help? I was disgusted
