  1. That's about the same as my crew cab with ally back and sides. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. Aye it's like that with me as well mate. Relocating squabs in nests etc. that I may well shoot later in the season. The list of species I'd shoot gets smaller every year, like. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. I can be of no help whatsoever I'm afraid Darrin. My only real experience of metal detectors was on the beach at Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk on family holidays as a nipper. People would be combing the beach with them after the crowds had left. Me and my brothers used to push a 1/2p coin into a dog turd with a stick, bury it in the sand then laugh our heads off when they dug it up with their hands.
  4. Good work Pinkfoot. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  5. A bloke is out on the drink with the lads and throws up all over himself. 'Oh no', he says. 'The wife says she'll leave me if I come home in a state again'. 'Never mind', says his mate. 'Stick a £20 note in your jacket pocket. Tell her someone threw up over you and gave you £20 for dry cleaning'. He does this and staggers home. He explains what happened to the wife, but she says 'How come there are two £20 notes in your pocket?' 'Oh, the second one is from the bloke who shat in my pants'.
  6. Oh the memories! Only seems a couple of stone ago! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  7. Was that from Nod Matty? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  8. Cheers. The squaddies at Otterburn must have tougher ankles, there's loads like that!
  9. I totally agree with your sentiment, but realistically that wouldn't happen. We would just end up importing wheat from countries who haven't banned glypho.
  10. Was that root plate at Leighton Hill Wood on Otterburn ranges?
  11. I would just buy cake instead. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  12. I was beginning to think it was a trick question and my next guess was was Eccleshall Road in Sheffield. You're right about the fire, wrong about the rest. I've just had large cod and chips with mushy peas and I'm on my 5th can of Belgium's finest. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  13. Just watched on PC, loved both vids. Good use of the crane as a rigging point on a horrible tree!
  14. That does look fairly waterproof. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  15. Manila, Philippines. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  16. Same Matty, I'm on the iPhone though. Welcome Alex! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. Being wet isn't really a problem. Being wet and cold is. The 'I work so hard I just wear a t-shirt' heroes don't appear very regularly in the sleet in Northumberland. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  18. She sure wanted to roll. I bet that got the adrenaline pumping a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. She's probably been to see my folks in Northumberland. Is she a rep for a gin company? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  20. I think Andy (Treequip) summed it up last year. If you're working you're sweating (or you should be). If it's pissing down and you're working you will get wet, from the inside or the out. Waterproof and breathable is great, but nothing can do it at the same time. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  21. No, Mick sold it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  22. I've taken advice from hundreds of my domestic customers on this one and apparently if you cut some grooves in a crisscross pattern and/or drill some holes in the top of it, it will disappear in about 25 years. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  23. Get Joe Newton in for the day, give him a spade and a mattock and tell him there is a massive stash of gay porn hidden under the stump.
  24. Or it got mullered by the 360 bucket when the pond was dredged.
