He lived on my patch and regularly accidentally set off his house alarm. The cartoon is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Sorry for doubling up, been laid up for past couple of weeks with impacted pelvis and banned from pc/phone/tablet etc, even missed the holts sale🤥 JC does make me laugh though, even though it hurts to do so!

impala59 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Nothing so glamorous I’m afraid 😟 I stepped off a bus that I had not noticed had raised its nsf airbag so instead of a 12” step down it was about 18” and I landed straight legged on my heel, hurt like hell though. thanks for concern and pm TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no experience of mole removal save having one surgically removed for biopsy a few years back, that doc was super efficient and left no trace. It seems that ditchy has a super mole maybe under the protection of special branch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmboy91 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) I hadn't looked at this thread since it was on its second page, so at seeing it was now stretching to 8 I thought I would have a browse while having lunch. Sat here tittering like a school girl with the missus asking, ' is it that ditchman making you laugh again' 😂 'Something like that' I replied. Best of luck with those militant mole's mate 👍 Edited June 15, 2020 by Farmboy91 Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No , let us not tempt fate! At least the clock is safe. Look forward to seeing the shooting table. Will it be a mobile one so can be moved to different locations for the purpose of 'targeted extermination?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, couldn't find them anyway but know they are there....know the feeling? I agree with Teal and y'alll about the like button but watching it's use on the Shooters Forum it does save some space on the system and that was my main idea. Used correctly it is another tool in the arsenal. Greengrass posts some mazing pictures for instance and I would just LIKE to say I approve and enjoy but if I have to type this out I have to really 'quote' and that involves the pictures etc etc. Back to the traps I have they are the old fashioned scissor traps but good strong construction. Best of luck with your efforts. I have a friend, dairy farmer and they zero graze so have many acres of grass and he IS paranoid about moles and must have twenty or thirty traps set about the place all with either a white plastic bucket or a traffic cone alongside.
