What, folk shouldn't ride horses in the countryside, folk shouldn't hunt pest/vermin/food for the plate.?

 

The arrogance is spewing out of people who think that way. Don't like it, don't live in the countryside.

I completely understand and support the need to control populations of various animals in the countryside. In my line of work that's principally squirrels and deer. I object however to mounted hunts. I find them to be arrogant, anachronistic institutions that have little to do with pest control, and more about the continuation of contentious and distasteful traditions.

Close. It's Austrian and orange. I have got an Italian one as well but obviously that's under a sheet in a specialist workshop partially dismantled.  

Nice ?

Still drawn to the 1st gen rsvr 

plenty of faults but a lot of bike for the money.

Doing the same run tomorrow twice first will be about 10.30 ish then will be going back about 3 ish to load for monday morn, Hate to think what tomorrow will be like but the weather will play a big part as its set for temps to really drop tomorrow ?

Well been today and as it had gone bloody cold here by dinnertime today i hardly so any one today, 1 elderly cyclist and 1 car parked in a lay by but that car is there every day from about 11am - 1pm as its a local guy who will be out training working Labs, so what a change as compared to the last 5/6 days and and all down to the temperature dropping by about 10 degrees,,

In the words of the great George Bernard Shaw " Stop talking bollocks". Do you actually like anything about the countryside? I seem to remember you moaning about the Devon roads when you moved there, too narrow etc. You've just said you find the mounted hunts to be arrogant. I find that deliciously ironic coming from you! It seems to be your way or the high way. I don't like Socialists,  Liberals or any other of the Great Unwashed, but I draw the line at banning them. Learn to get along with everybody and not try to give your biased opinions to any poor bugger who will listen,  or doesn't have a choice.

I had a long reply. The mouse fell off the chair, closed the window and I lost it. 

In short. I love being outdoors, I dislike cities, I hate mounted hunting. I dislike the English countryside and I'm at my wits end with the UK if I'm being honest. 

 

I apologise for the brevity, but there is little in life that is so frustrating as to spend 15 minutes typing a reply to have it vanish in an instant.
