Oh No. It was me not getting on with the job. it was a case of "do I want it.? Do I not want it.? my fault. I hope the new owner gets good use from it.

This is a good case of he who dithers about does not win. I asked a question but did not act of it in time. I would have had it but came back to find it had gone. shame I would have had it but another fish somewhere.

If it was the case it could have been due to the competitive atmosphere of the way he grew up to fight for his place in club and for country. And eventually to take the Republic of Ireland to a football world Cup. Bad form though to go against the wishes of a host. Should have been invited to remove himself from the field. Never mind the money.

Archie coats was a cantankerous old fellow. He sort of had a contempt for Jack, and it seemed to me as if Archie would not have had this low fellow out in the hide were it not for the fact that the film company were greasing Archie with cash for his services. I felt a bit sorry for Pru, Archie's wife. I bet that he was a bit of a handful.

😁😃🤣😵‍💫 Ha Ha Ha. YES. Bare knuckle stuff it was. Jack was out there cheering them on. Still at least there was one person that was alert and read the text.

What actual size is an XXl.? Whats the measurement across the back pit to pit.?

Well it was and it wasn't. I was a kid and Jack used to go out actually shooting stuff. Pigeon decoying with people like Archie Coats and ollie Kite. Ferreting., duck fighting and other good stuff... then it all changed and it was less good. Stuff like basket weaving, stuff to do with horses and carts. I remember that one program was about fireman's braces to hold his trousers up. Country fairs and other such Toot. Total waste of air time. A bit like the shooting times or basic. Originally good stuff but degenerated into nostalgic tripe. I could have added a lot of other words but what would be the point. We're doomed. The only redeming thing is that things like FEOs and basic are cutting their own throats because at some stage systems collapse like smoking or pints in the local pub. And that's the way it is. Edit.. at one time there was big brother that would know everything about us in 1984.. was it and then when we went in to the year 2000 all of the world was going to collapse because there was a 0 missing from computers. But since then we ....the country ...the World has sort of tripped up. A friend who is a welder said that they cant get anyone to work there. No one has any sort of practical ability and no interest in turning out to work. Perhaps the country will have to pay the illegal immigrants wages and bonuses to stay here and get a job.

Ha Ha Ha. For clarity purposes. APPLE Imac NOT hair removal cream.

My imac sorts them out. I get lods & loads of random spam emails which automatically go in the junk mail folder. When I think about it I just go and block remove the whole lot. Fee spins, lucky dip, you've been selected, your delivery couldn't be delivered, would I like to have a larger implement. You've been selected, a person wants to be my penpal and the wife of some foreign government wants my bank details in order to deposit X millions of Mbongo dollars because I am an honest person. This is from someone who is proposing theft, corruption etc. If it sounds to good to be true it is too good to be true. I did ask the Mrs if I should apply for a larger implement but she declined the invitation. She said that it would mean dragging unnecessary weight around. Some years ago when I had a windows computer I was watching a music video on YouTube and suddenly the screen/computer was jammed with a picture of a policeman in a lord kitchener pose accusing me of mass spamming, child pornography and attempting to break Into national security computers.!!! I couldn't shut them computer down and when switched off at the wall and reloaded the same page opened and froze the screen. Luckily I had another laptop and googled how to reset the day and delete the rouge file. A bloke who worked on the firm had the same issue and I was able to advise him how to get round it.

Yeah but isn't it a bit one sided. The unions only sent a ten quid postal order to Liebor party.

Again, so far away.

BACK THE MOT0R UP BOY;;; YOUS GOIN ON HOLIDAY.

Hang on a minute. please reconsider your post. Where is there any mention in the posts above of the OP being in the USA.? AND where have I remarked about anything to do with the internet.? I've been shooting and wild fowling for many years to know that punt gunning is setting up the punt and gun to shoot at a LOT of duck generally in a pack. AND this was generally done to shoot a LOT of wildfowl to send to market. It has died out because it wasn't viable as a job. Areas of quiet water aren't there like there were. It's the same as duck decoys. There's only about four or five left and they are mainly only used for research purposes to tag birds and check for avian flue and stuff like that.

Is/Are there situations where there are numbers of duck available to actually shoot at.? Back like in victorian times..? I personally don't think that I have ever seen water with the amount of duck roosting other than protected wildlife lakes to make shooting a weapon such as this viable. This is akin to shooting a first worldwide battleship main armament to start the 100 yard sprint at the local primary school. Fun to do but really.?

Last year one of the son in laws was in a Tesco and a couple of caravan club members came up to the chilled meat joint department and proceeded to to fill the large family sized trolley randomly with joints, the thing that caught his attention was the fact that they weren't looking at the weight or price or whether the meat was beef, lamb, pork or cornflakes. There was no other types of grocery, just a BIG trolley of meat. They just walked out of the door. He informed staff members and 5hey went out to confront the members. They got in the motor and drove off. Leaving the loaded trolley out in the car park.! The trolley was so heavily loaded that it took several staff to drag it back in. I was in another Tesco and there were a couple of youts of the membership wandering around the store helping themselves to stuff, eating and dumping the wrapers on the shelves, trying on jackets etc,etc. I wonder how much would be saved if NO customers were allowed in at all and all sales were via online only and available via picked up parcels or semi subsidised delivery.... (I did struggle to not write... via Hilux pickup.) Edit... I was in the Tesco today and I see that the input aisle is one way electric barrier so you HAVE to exit via the self serve or the checkout tills. Therefore you can't walk out with trolley fulls. That doesn't stop filling the kids up with cans of pop and stuff on the way round. Etc,Etc.

This is total nonsense. This is just posting a lump of rubbish and causing that nonsense to be relayed online and relayed until it must be true. FAKE NEWS. The training in the armed forces is very stringent and if you do not come up to the required standards you are back squaded. If you fail again you are invited to find your way up the road. They do not hand out certificates or medals with the bully beef. Recently there was series about warship and a woman who had a rank had to do a fitness test. This was held in a hanger deck for an amount of the crew. They had to do a lot of running speed trials to a beep timer. Now she was belting up and down and only missed the required standard by a second or two. She was told that she would be allowed a second attempt and that would be out. The woman did a lot of training and managed to pass. As in a post above it is either a load of porkies or someone is mistaken,

I downloaded the two links but neither will open.?

That's pretty sensible advice. Some years ago the house next door had a fire and it is very frightening and was very disruptive to us even thought we didn't have any fire in our building. After this we tooled up with extinguishers. We've got 3 up on the top landing and 2 co2 units in the kitchen. We did use a co2 when the Rayburn bottom door and the draft plate were accidentally left wide open. the chimney pipe from the Rayburn up into the chimney got cherry red and the fire wouldn't shut down. You can't throw a load of water in there because it is all cast iron. I did put some water on the actual fire but the fire had gotten up in the chimney... (Which had been swept..). I shut the Damper plate. I got one of the Co2 units and fired it into the chimney vent damper. The effect was immediate and the chimney went back to black. After a couple of minutes everything had returned to normal. BUT if I didn't have that co2 we could have had a situation where the brigade would have had to have been called and by the time that they had gotten out to us we could have had a situation where our house and the neighbour might have been burnt out. It doesn't bear thinking about. I think that everyone should really think about such an event and what they are going to do in a situation. Have an exit plan worked out and make sure EVERYONE knows what to do and which way to get out. Do a fire drill to see if doors can be unlocked and that even the children can unlock doors and get out. Get the people out. Quickly assess. what's happened and how bad it is. If the fire is small can you SAFELY contain it before it gets out of hand. shut doors and windows to keep the fire seat contained. There's a lot of difference between putting a small fire out and everyone standing away and watching your house burn down. A lot of properties can't get insurance cover because of flooding or other reasons. Make sure that you have your CHARGED mobile to hand. AND.. I have taken pictures of ALL important documents and uploaded them to the cloud so in the event of a BIG problem they can be accessed online. Do you know who you are insured with this year and what your policy number is.? The most important thing is to try to PREVENT accidents before they happen.

Ha,Ha,Ha. Reading through the comments made me really laugh. I suspect that for the majority of posters their reaction to having to buy a new suit Would be,,, OW MUCH. I'll not pay that.!! I you don't think that you'll get a lot of use out of it why not have a look round the charity shops. their are loads of things that might fit the bill at a fraction of the price. When my eldest sister had to go into a home, another sister had to sort all of her spare clothes out and she took about 3 car loads of clothes which we either unworn or nearly unworn to the hospice shop and she couldn't believe the amount of as new mens clothes that were there. Something there might SUIT YOU SIR.

What like home alone.? (Macauly culkin) film. Smokeand mirrors deception job. The problem with getting a random aggressive dog/s is that if they bite someone then you become liable which would be a financial hole.

It's the hosepipe bans that get me. Out abroad is is hot and and dry yet they use water like we don't. They don't use a two bob 20mm hose It's like a BIG HOSE on the car and the water is FLOWING DOWN THE ROAD. You'll need waders and a boat.

Yep. It's just what we all need, and to remedy this we're booked up for a fortnight out in Costa Adege Tenerife. The problem is that I can't bag some sunshine and bring it back with me. What I can't get over is when we do eventually get some hot weather then the amount of people that moan and groan about it being too hot and how they can't put up with it. Mother in law was like that. Moan, moan , moan. Put the cold garden hose on her. Roll on global warming. Oh I forgot we'll be under a hosepipe ban. And then when the sun has gone down we can all look forward to five months of cold wet horrible miserable weather.

Our lawns have needed a topcut for several weeks but the rain has been pretty constant. The weather has been very mild this far southeast and the grass on the rear south facing lawn was 3..4 inches and it just wasn't drying out. So Yesterday was really quite warm in the sun and I managed to get the strimmer on the grass with a long line. That was fairly tough. I then raked it with the spring time rake and dumped it in the garden bin. After this I got the small rotary with the plastic deck set up high and went over the front and rear lawns. Really needed a week of sunshine. Ps. I don't need any fertiliser on the grass or else it would need the long reach hedge cutter on it. I

In recent times the tyres on both of our vehicles have had cracks in the grooves between the treads. The other day I hit a hard pothole. That was an Impact. I must get out there and really check the front tyres

I have no idea about the decoys that you mention but I was given a sort of flying decoy with rotary wings to try out which was semi ok.. BUT. it had to have a fair blow to keep it up. It needed a strong constant wind because once down on the ground it was game over. I couldn't just tug the string and fly it off of the ground. I had to get out of the hide go and retrieve it then stand out there waiting for the wind to get up again and relaunch it.. get back to the hide and the wind would die down and it was either a series of failed flights or dragit off the field. If it was winter or a cold day you would be likely to suffer from hypothermia with the amount of wind needed to keep it off of the ground and when it did have enough wind to keep it up, it was very erratic and all over the place. Not a steady flight at all. I tried it a couple of times but it wasn't any use at all , AND I don't think that it was cheap either.
