  8. my head gasget went on me first 3.0 v6 pajero about a year ago so outed that one and got a beutifull looking pajero super exeed 2.8 turbo deisel top ofthe range only for this one to pack up again ..... yes another head gone its just cost me a grand to get done but then the ejecters had to be sorted out it was smoking worse than me.today the altinater has just packed up its the final straw she is down the road i have had it with pajeros .i got 2500 to spend on a 4x4 what car shall i go for next thinking about a fourtrak.
  9. yesterday i was not in the mood for setting up decoys or taking the ferrets out i just felt like having a walk about this turned out to be hard work as the wind was blowing a gale.after a hour of getting blown around the farm i thought ****** this its to much like hard work .on one of our farms we have quite a few rabbits that live in a small wooded area and on sunny days they like to sit on the edge so i decided to head for there ;when i pulled up i saw 1 or 2 so got the silenced 4.10 out and went for a walk .at the edge of the wood there is what i think was a old feed hopper it is about 30 ft tall and has a platform on one side so up i climed it was great out of the wind and a perfect view into the woods .after rolling a burn i sat and chilled it was great the rabbits had no idea i was about after 3 hours i had shot 7 bunnys and was enjoying the sun ok its not breaking any records but it was a great way to relax will def be doing that again :blink:
  10. well duck catcher is what i do for a living i must have caught thousands over the years.
  11. as a former employe of the company as from today i can tell you that there was about 30 dead birds found at botesdale do not know what the out come of the test were but they were not taking any chances.i am in no dout that it is going to get worse before it gets better only yesterday i had modules that we put the birds in for transport turn up on a farm that had not been properly washed down and even today i found to ducks feet in a mod that was surposed to have been cleaned it is no wonder these things spread when people are doing sloppy work i have even seen what are meant to be foot dips outside sheds with nothing in them .even if companys do tighten up on measures to stop the spread as soon as the all claer is given they go back to there old ways and this is half the problem.
  12. thanks for pionting that out mate your right about the stress so i walked out the job today my familly come first and i was taking the job out on them turning into a right grumpy old ***.sorry to suffolk shooter for being out of order the mistake was all mine please accept my apolagy.
