    Yeah the little goblin is nearly 14 months old now and she's never really slept at night!

     

    I might go wild and treat the old girl to a tinkle of the expensive diesel. I do know what you mean about the re gen thing I've heard and smelt it happen.

    or just add a couple of gallons of unleaded to a tank of deisel

  3. Never a fan before, did not like the wrecking of the Reliant  Robin, but watched the Nepal show last night, brilliant! the driving by bigger vehicles in Nepal was harrowing. Now a convert.

    I was always impressed at the Germans ability to make war.  Their two mistakes was to start war with Russian and it’s unlimited man power and the USA with its unlimited manufacturing capacity.  You kill a million Russians and they send another million Russians.  You shoot down a 1000 American planes they build another 1000 planes.  

    At the start of Barbarrossa the russian army would have sided with Hitler after the mass shootings of their officers, by Stalin, but Hitler regarded them as Untermenchen, had them shot or sent back to camps & death,this +SS attrocities turned a potential ally into mass hatred.

  6. A Tyneside council voted a few years ago to fell aline of Horse Chestnut trees IN CASE a child fell & was injured, gathering conkers, & down they came. also took a market trader to court as he was still selling tatties to pensioners by the pound (at the same time Chinese markets on Stowell Street in Newcastle had all of their  goods priced in YEN.The old saying "give a man a fish & he will feed his family "       Call some people a councillor & power goes to their head.

    I think that's exactly the intention because otherwise they'd never have a chance of the EU membership they so desperately crave. And that's because Scotland would be fiscally unsustainable if they accepted their full pro rata share of the national debt and took over from Westminster all the bail out funding for the Scottish banks etc. Couple that with losing at least 750,000 UK public sector jobs that were embedded in Scotland and which would be progressively shipped south. Even if they were given a pass on all those 10s of billions it's still highly doubtful if Scotland's GDP would be sufficient or that they would have a workable credit rating in order to borrow. The SNP isn't quite as Marxist as Corbyn and Co but is still very strongly left wing, which is why they've been able to destroy Labour in Scotland, but history proves that the grab and spend method of running a country isn't sustainable long term and independence would soon bring stringent cuts to public spending. Sensible Scots know this of course and also that the family ties with Britain are a much better bet than becoming one of the serf nations in the EU like Romania. Having said that I would be quite happy to wave goodbye to Scotland but only if they picked up their fair share fiscally.

    As a descendant of Scots I admire the emotional connection to Scottish culture and the sense of a unique identity, but it's also evident that the "real" Scots in the north are generally not as rampant about independence as the mongrel Scots in the central belt.

    Spain will allways veto Scotlands membership, it can hardly do otherwise with it;s treatment of Basque separatists,& Scotland really kissed them off by holding onto the lady Spain wants in court over Basque independance.

    The Snp are in a win win position , if the do get a referendum the government will again give them bribes to stay in the union so win or lose they gain out of it. They should be given a choice but all people born in Scotland should be given a vote, so all the expats who have good jobs in England should get a vote on if they would like to stay or go

    And all who chose to retire here & brought their wealth with them would not?

    All good advice and you just have to learn your marsh in all weather and tide conditions throughout the season. Even then every season is different. By way of encouragement I have shot the Solway since 1977 and now live there. I am having a **** season on the geese. Everywhere I go they either pass wide or high. Out last week in the gales shooting everywhere but not me. It’s called wildfowling and a wild goose chase for a reason. Just stick at it, enjoy being out, and when you are successful you’ll savour it even more!

    good luck.

    +1 For this, keep plugging away,it will klick,like sea trout fishing used to be (when we had fish!)

    All true, but bribery and promises of handouts go a long way when you want people to vote for you. Also, unlike Boris, Corbyn has at least realised that it pays to look professional with his hair brushed, a clean shirt & tie and a suit that doesn't look like he's slept in it.

    I remember last year at the Cenotaph, him wearing his second best "George" car coat in honour of our fallen, this year he looked a bit tidier, but still barely dipped his head, but then he was not vote hunting last year. The head of the labour party, his work record?Unpaid teaching of Geography (In the Bahamas i think.)

    When the wife was doing her bit with jury service, one of the convicted gentlemen requested that he be sent to the local jail because all his mates were there!!!!!!!

    I would gladly pay Prison Officers double wages so we could build Prisons in terrible places around the coast or on the moors. The prison officers would possible get some good shooting and sea fishing???

    Anthrax island off west coast of Scotland springs to mind
