  1. Well done, I hate the thought of an animal suffering. Its got to be a clean kill or nothing. I also pass up targets if its in doubt regarding a one shot kill or safety. At eleven ft lb youre hunting skills are extremely sharpened.
  2. Hahahahaha:laugh:
  3. Nice selection Rich, I have a fair bit of land to shoot over and an open ticket. If we work together in the future maybe we could have blat after. I,m not into fox shooting though I only kill what I,m going to eat. Here,s my bunny busters.
  4. Thats disgusting stuff, you may as well drink treacle mixed with 100% proof alcohol.
  5. Thats not a bad idea, cheers I,ll bear it in mind.
  6. I use a rimfire myself, but have you ever seen a .17hmr in action. Its soft nose full metal jacket that flies straight for 100yds and if hits a stone or hard ground etc it just disintergrates making it much safer than a .22 rimfire. No more ricochets...............Got youre No. by the way, talk to you soon. Happy chrimbo Rich.
  7. The trouble with 12 ft lb is that its a bit cruel on the bunny. I think all air rifles should be licensed and run at 20 ft lb at least. I,ve shot and skinned many a bunny and found old pellets lodged inside. Very cruel indeed.
  8. At 30ft lb it must be on an FAC. Is it a factory job or did you up the power yourself?
  9. Thats a good idea for the future. On this occasion I had the interview on the Monday and they wanted this Ash down on the Tuesday. I will certainly remember youre idea, put the fuel through the books and put an hour or two on the final invoice. And on top of that keep the ol woman sweet, nice one.
  10. Ive never in 14 years had a single problem with the NFU. If they say they will insure a chipper as a trailer thats what they,ll do. They are not youre average insurers trying to wriggle out and look for loopholes when things go wrong. I really cant fault them.
  11. Its Medway Housing Society, they have property all over Kent and London. An association really. It may have been a wasted trip but it was nice to see a different part of Kent again. Its stunning landscape around Folkestone.
  12. That is feckin hilarious.
  13. Three hours at £40 an hour plus £20 diesel, I think on the advice I,ve heard I,ll let it go and put it down to experience. however I will ask for pics in the future. The trouble is at 46 I,m a bit sick of still putting things down to experience. Oh well live n learn.........again.
  14. Why add to the pollution. Keep it clean where ever possible. If we all stood by what youre saying we would all be chucking our litter all over the place.
  15. Christ thats sharp! seriously well done.
  16. Haha like ya style, seriously though thanks for all youre advice.I,ll probably take it on the chin and gain it back as I go. Merry chrimbo one n all.
  17. Not in a cruel way I might add.
  18. Thats just made me and my wife really laugh.
  19. You have a wise head my friend, and modest at the same time.
  20. Hahahahaha......like it.
  21. Scottish? does he roar with an accent?
  22. I work for them on an hourly rate. The spec was drive 40 miles dismantle a s.birch and leave all debris. I turned up with one groundie, saw the footpath and decided against it. Because of the distance it did,nt warrant pricing up. I dont want to leave a bad taste in their mouths so should I take the loss?
  23. I went to Folkestone today for a housing agency to dismantle a silver birch, took all the neccesary kit and expected to finish around about eleven. After all I,ve never seen a big s.birch in my life. On the other side is a well used footpath which requires two lookouts,one groundie and me. This is my first job for this agency and so far I,m out of pocket by about £140. Surely even the most uneducated can identify s.birch. I,m going to rebook it for Jan but my question is should I invoice them for the £140?
  24. After summing up I find you all guilty of bending and receiving swollen goods. Shame on you hardened arbs.
  25. Mmmmmm........I,m a little bit concerned, the barmaid pic was an elaborate cover up designed to throw us all off track. Two minutes after it was taken they was all off to the nearest gay bar. Now youre all having a pop at each other. All the hallmarks of guilt, what did you northern gay lords really get up to.Nine months from now we might hear of Skyhuck going into labour with Deans chavvy.
