  1. I don't think it was a BOP, they would generally have plucked the breast first to get at the meat. It may have got itself entangled in something at some point and the damage has been done in the struggle to free itself. Given the regrowth of feathers it didn't happen too recently.
  2. I did the same - Motorway offer is £2,900 more than WeBuyAnyCar!!!
  3. They knocked me back a fair amount on a car a few years ago, but I had my revenge on them with a car they would have lost quite a bit on. They knock you back for each little scratch or mark so an older car will tend to get knocked back to way below its value for it's year as a result.
  4. Yup, was quite a shock to hear of his death from cancer. He was incredibly funny.
  5. Thanks again All. I didn't give myself much hope if I'm honest, but hopefully it will last for a wee while. I'm pretty proud of myself tbh, not bad for a pen-pusher! 😁
  6. I have a DJI4 which is a great piece of kit. I let the batteries drain though so it is $%&^!!!!
  7. Finished article, pretty chuffed how it turned out.
  8. Thanks guys. It is okay if you don't look too closely!! 😄
  9. Thanks TT, I figured it would be near enough a grand for a new replacement hence why I thought I'd attempt a fix myself. I am not in any way handy at such things really, but had a go and it will do as a stop gap until I can part with the dosh! Just needs a bit of caulk and paint to finish off now. Cheers
  10. Someone else suggested Mason wasps (the other name for Potter wasps). Only one displayed any yellow stripes, all the rest were pure black - I wonder if only the female has stripes? There were no stored caterpillers, but plenty of stored flies. There were also no "pots".
  11. Hi, yes planned to speak with TT as he doesn't live far from here. Pic of the culprit below:
  12. I have some infestation on one of my oak-framed windows. They are little black hornet type beasts and they have turned much of the one side of the frame to pulp (you can see the lighter shade are mainly to the right hand side of the upright in the attached pic). I am currently attempting a repair by digging this side out completely and then treating and replacing all affected areas. Is this feasible or am I looking at a new window? Cheers Mike
  13. It looks like multiple pics of the same owl and doesn't look newly fledged to me. They wouldn't sit in a tree together like that either surely. But then again.......lol
  14. Thanks Henry. Yes, it is only about 30-40 feet wide probably at it's widest so a smaller rod should suffice
  15. Hi All I have recently joined a deer stalking syndicate which also has the fishing rights on a small river which is a good back-end salmon river as well as holding quite a few pike. I am therefore looking to buy a spinning rod outfit to use to try to enjoy a bit of fishing when on my stalking trips. Does anyone have anything second-hand for sale or recommend any reasonably-priced new options? Not looking to spend too much on it. Cheers Mike
  16. The ticket to me suggests you parked at 13:01 on the 14th and the ticket expired at the end of the day of the 14th, hence why it reflects the start of the 15th 00:00. It isn't a 24 hour ticket, rather it relates to the day of parking. is that when you parked?
  17. I think it all depends on population levels on your land and importantly the surrounding areas.
  18. I felt it was worth doing certainly, it does teach you some things you may not really have considered. Interestingly, the only guys that failed it on my course were the two older guys who had been stalking for 40 years.
  19. Will do, just trying to finish off a table I've had a go at first but I have got the copper for the priests now.
  20. Try to get the legal side resolved as quickly as possible as divorce cases can drag on and this simply creates a big bill for both parties. Similarly, don't waste solicitor time arguing over petty things as this all adds great cost for little, if any, gain.
  21. Yes, I’m assuming he does not have this option activated. Hopefully he will look in soon.
  22. Hi Does anyone know this member to give him a nudge or have contact details for him. I need to get in touch with him re lab pups and he hasn't picked up my PM yet as he hasn't been online for a couple of weeks. Cheers MD
  23. Lintran are the best in my view, the white materials they use really do stay much cooler than the likes of TransK9 (I have had both). You could also collect from Lintran as they are in Lincolnshire.
  24. Sounds like a fine way to spend a morning!
