    Serious answer. If the farmer is happy with it just leave them where they fall, ignore the muppets that don't know what pest control means.

    As for silage, there is a serious risk of the cows getting poisoned by animal carcases ending up in the silage. At the very least you should remove them from the field and put under a hedge, burying is obviously better still.

    Spot on! As above it's called pest control, I try to give what I can away if not it's used as fox bait.

  8. Use of the 'Safety' catch.

    You’re conveniently avoiding my question by asking me one of your own. I asked, given that my gun is either broken, pointing skyward and no fingers near the trigger, what ‘reason’  could you give that would make my gun any safer than it already is. The answer is none; no reason whatsoever. 

    To answer your question, the purpose of a safety is completely superfluous if all of those precautions I mentioned are adhered to. If they’re not adhered to, then sooner or later someone is going to get hurt, whether they’re using that safety or not. Like I said, anyone who relies on that safety to prevent them from shooting anyone.........?

    agree 100% with you, never had the need to use a safety catch.

    This flu - Aussie flu they are calling it - is apparently exactly the same strain as my flu jab. I've been poorly for 6wks (wife is in the 8th wk) although it's annoying never have I felt too ill to work, shoot etc. Started off with aches and pains all over, a bit of a fever and somethings resembling a heavy cold. Now it's a runny nose, cough and sneezing regularly. Just got my sense of smell and taste back. Rather messed up Xmas although we did mitigate symptoms with hot toddies which used up 2 litre bottles of scotch.

    The UK is seeing a mix of flu types circulating including influenza B as well as the H3N2 strain.

    H3N2 is not new. It was around last winter too.

    This year's flu jab is designed to protect against H3N2 as well as some other strains, Public Health England says typical effectiveness of the flu vaccine is 40-60%, which means that for every 100 people vaccinated, between 40 and 60 will be protected.
