Common street tree here too. Somtimes called a Keyaki.

Go onto Youtube and check out Saliva 'Ladies & Gentlemen.' Tried to post it here but when I did it said, 'video no longer available'. Bangin' tune and a cool vid too.

'Come back brighter' is a better tune but couldn't find the full length version of it, so this will have to do... [ame] [/ame]

A couple from when I was working as a 'keeper years ago and slotting deer as part of my job.

That's what the pig said!

.308 works great on wild pig....night night Pinky, or was that Perky? [ame] [/ame]

What did you shoot it with? Cats tend to jump straight up in the air when you plug 'em with a .22

I was gonna say the exact same thing! At least you 'walked away'. Makes you wonder what the damage would have been if you'd wiped out the numpty on the bike. Shame though, was a nice looking Landy.

Health and safety 'fears'? Health and safety bullsh*t more like!! What the hell is going on back in England?

In this configuration I think I can just about hide it under my coat ....the thing kicks like a bloody mule firing it with only the pistol grip on it though. And it's just a humble 8 shot pump Mossberg 500 Ed. Looking at a semi-auto Mossberg 930spx next. Beretta do make a sweet gun but wayyyyyy expensive.

It's alright......just take the stock off and put the pistol grip on.

This is what ya want....

Let me guess Dean, a 686?

Today is Saturday, my guys pulled up outside my house with the truck 'n' chipper at 7:55. My yard is 5 mins drive away and we are working 2 streets over from my house. However, village ordinance states that you can't start a chipper, chainsaw or even a blower before 8a.m. and if you do......the cops turn up and write you a ticket. During the week we normally meet in the yard or at my house for around 7:30.

Well put Dean.

We'll bring both. And after the job is finished we can all get pissed drunk, fire up the BBQ and my Latino crew will treat us all to a tasty dish of roasted raccoon.....

I could airlift my bucket truck and crew over to you for that one Dean and make it an international operation, if you'd like. Looks like you're gonna need all the help you can get on that one mate. If you do choose to go it alone, for God's sake be careful man, those cherries can be lethal! I'll get my crew to bring the raccoon....

Luis said that he had eaten raccoon when he was in the jungle back in Guatemala......good eating apparently, if it's fresh that is.

Oh yes indeedy mate!!!! It's spelled 'potcheen,' (nearly lost my mind & eyesight drinking that loopy juice) And you're right Dean, the poor little bugger was so bloated Luis couldn't pull him free from the cavity. And jeez did it stink, and that's coming from a former gamekeeper who knows just how bad some dead things can smell!! I'll tell Luis that you called him a sissy Dean.... That's if I can work out Guatemalen lingo for 'sissy'!!

I know what you mean mate, down in Cork 'three' sounds even more like 'tree'!

I was in the Emerald Isle for a while, working for the National Irish Forestry Board before moving Stateside.....does that count?

Few more...
