  1. I use the wooden pallets I get from work they are heat treated & burn lovely use the lats cut down into kinderling & the strong blocks act as logs once it's up & burning I shut all the vents down & let it just tick over
  2. Have a look on dog & fields website good quality dummies & good prices
  3. If these are still available & haven't been banned yet these would be perfect tied upto a slow burning rope in the field very loud for such small firework
  4. Me & my friends used to make are own bangers with that stuff used to scrape it out of cap gun rings ( took us ages ) & then wrap it in masking tape with a wire wool fuse connected to a 9v -12volt fuse. Although one day I did make a fuse from cellotape with flash powder inside it straight to the banger. Worst thing I could of done still get ringing in my ears from time to time & the burn mark's on my hands to remember that one second fuse 😂 the things you do when you are young.
  5. Always been a daiwa man myself never had a problem with them
  6. Great moor chippy used to be dave wongs many years ago he was a bit of a stockport fish & chips legend in his day
  7. 2 fish 2 any pie or pudding 3 small sausage 2 chips £15 - cheap as chips for a lot of food - Stockport - Manchester Should include your locations so we can work out a national average chippy price😂
  8. If you are on facebook search for the facebook group called " giving up the game " pop a add on there a lot of the time people are happy to give it away or at times £1 a brace in feather , £4 oven ready etc etc
  9. I don't suppose you have a picture of the army & navy you had? A friend has a 20 gauge army & navy there doesn't seem to be many of them around anymore it was his father's rough gun from many years ago he is just getting into shooting himself it's a lovely little side by side.
  10. & chuck a few coats and bags over it all . I was thinking the same very vague
  11. I knew the comments on this thread would be gold 😂
  12. Thank you both for the kind offers if I'm ever down that way in the season I will drop you a line! Both dogs are doing well andy couldn't be happier with them real characters
  13. Pro cook got a set of three various size all metal frying pans all pro cooks own brand 25 year warranty £65 on sale best frying pans I've ever had they don't half hold the heat in them.
  14. Thank you he is my pride & joy he just loves being out retrieving & training I got him as a pup from @WelshAndy on here he isnt fully grown yet (16 months) but he is a absolutely stunning dog & eager to work
  15. Hi everyone thought I would ask on here before I try the facebook groups anyone after a beater around Cheshire for what's left of the season.? I have a dog but he hasn't been on a shoot before I have been training him with the dummies & he has retrieved cold game but prefer to have him on a lead with me while beating rather then him on the picking line at the moment. Currently no 4x4 so ideally somewhere I can park up & jump in with someone or walk drive to drive. Cheers everyone
  16. Ye some of those older idi injected diesel would run on any old oil etc I had my merc running on 80% veg 20%misfuel diesel/petrol mix or what ever scraps of diesel or petrol I could drain from other cars (used to work in a breakers yard) it would always start a couple good long pre heats on the glow plugs & it would always fire up fantastic cars the older merc diesel's.
  17. 100% I often have a look on Ebay for the older Mercs/Peugeots but they are getting few and far between now sadly! Cant beat a bit of crisp & dry motoring
  18. Ye there is a few episodes it covers rabbit shooting, fishing for mackeral, deer stalking & foraging for mushrooms. It might not be for everyone & the food is a bit lardy dar & some heavy sponsor plugging but it's nice to see someone doing something similar to the first couple seasons of river cottage.
  19. i got a W reg (2000) mercedes c220 diesel with the brilliant om605 engine 5 cylinder turbo diesel 12 months mot recent service & some small work carried out for £500 ran it for 3 years before selling it on best car i ever had used run it on waste cooking oil i got from the local pub used to smell of roast potato's on the way to work.
  20. Final pay day for them & into retirement. Watched a interview with kell brook the other week sounded a bit punch drunk to me was never the same after the triple G fight . Khan gets a lot of stick but he has fought some of the best at the time. The press conference will probably be better then the fight.
  21. What are the guns in question?? Perhaps someone on here might be interested in them & could make a donation to a charity of your friends choice?
  22. Whilst scrolling through my YouTube feed the other day i stumbled upon this short series of Tims wild kitchen. Its Tim Maddams from river cottage doing a series of short videos of shooting, fishing, foraging & the cooking up the catch well worth a watch.
