  1. Or that stuff they used in Anchorman - Sex Panther, 60% of the time, it works every time.
  2. The judging in boxing seems to be rather prone to bribery I reckon.
  3. Probably in the dock shortly thereafter.
  4. Biggest one I've had for a while.
  5. They didn't get any prize money on this occasion. Their fish were visibly smaller than some of the others in the competition, but weighed in heavier, hence the suspicion they were cheating. The feeling is that they must have done this before as their win rate was far too high, as much skill as it takes to catch a fish, there is always an element of luck, and these guys were far too lucky. They will likely be arrested at some point and charged with fraud or something similar.
  6. You have more chance of bringing back Harry's balls.
  7. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1063877/A01-badger-sett-licence-application-form.pdf This is the application for licence to control badgers to prevent damage.
  8. I've got one in my kitchen, wife doesn't mind, she's never in there. Also in my garage and bar. I'm in the bar.
  9. I have a 3 gun cabinet, and I've had 4 guns inside it for around 6 years. In terms of capacity, 5 pints and I'm done.
  10. 7Exceptions for occupiers etc. of land where deer are. (1)Subject to subsection (3) below, a person to whom this section applies shall not be guilty of an offence under section 2 above by reason of— (a)the taking or killing of any deer by means of shooting, or (b)the injuring of any deer by means of shooting in an attempt to take or kill it, on any cultivated land, pasture or enclosed woodland. (2)Subject to subsection (3) below, a person to whom this section applies shall not be guilty of an offence under section 4(2)(a) above by reason of the use, for the purpose of taking or killing any deer on any land, of any smooth-bore gun of not less gauge than 12 bore which is loaded with— (a)a cartridge containing a single non-spherical projectile weighing not less than 22.68 grammes (350 grains); or (b)a cartridge purporting to contain shot each of which is .203 inches (5.16 millimetres) in diameter (that is to say, size AAA). (3)A person to whom this section applies shall not be entitled to rely on the defence provided by subsection (1) or subsection (2) above as respects anything done in relation to any deer on any land unless he shows that— (a)he had reasonable grounds for believing that deer of the same species were causing, or had caused, damage to crops, vegetables, fruit, growing timber or any other form of property on the land; (b)it was likely that further damage would be so caused and any such damage was likely to be serious; and (c)his action was necessary for the purpose of preventing any such damage. Apologies, I have just copied and pasted from the Act, but my question is, if someone intended to shoot a deer in this way (b)a cartridge purporting to contain shot each of which is .203 inches (5.16 millimetres) in diameter (that is to say, size AAA), where on the animal would you aim?

    I'm off there on a family holiday in a couple of weeks. Never been before. Got one of the 5* all inclusive jobs in Antalya, 14 of us. Should be good, fingers crossed.
