  1. It's a bit much to go out of your way to report someone when it could have been a genuine mistake ? We all make them. I know later on you said if it was a mistake then fair play but your first call of action was to Grass the guy up and get him in some serious trouble with a hefty fine. That's just a bit extreme really, I'd rather RSPCA and RSPB Resources were focused on the real cowboys than a if/but/maybe situation but that's just my take on it. I hope the Chicks survive and the Parents come back to them either way.
  2. Does look pretty cool that Geoff.. come on mate, can do better puns than that for ducks sake !
  3. Always hate reading about things like this, condolences to his family and friends. RIP
  4. RIP Hennie, hope things get better for you mate
  5. I thought you were a Pimm's man mate This might help edumacate you about us lot up't North [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DqvXRd64Mo]YouTube - Hale & Pace - Northern Calypso[/ame]
  6. Started to read that and when I thought of your voice and that statement I just burst out laughing good old acerbic wit at it's best. Sadly though you are right, strong security doesn't deter Crime, it just deters them from your yard to commit the crime elsewhere, problem is the System encourages their kind of behaviour whereas the Honest Working person's rewards and getting fewer and fewer by the year and each successive Government that's voted in. Have to change the system before it improves sadly.
  7. Well said mate I think in current times there is a possibility of a Victory, but the problem is flashpoints like these... the US has made Bin Laden a martyr now, something for the extremists to idolise so now they have a rallying battle call and hyping it up more and more in the media is just giving them an excuse, a platform to recruit from, its irresponsible Journalism at it's best. We are in the 4th Generation of Warfare and need to adapt in order to overcome.
  8. Same here Quickthorn, I've had a few arguments with friends of mine from the other side of the pond who think their street parties/celebrations are justified but when I've said to them how did you feel when you saw Footage of US or UK troops being tortured and murdered on a Video Camera or Flags being burned by mobs they said it was an outrage - But the scary thing is that they don't see the parallel's of their behaviour, we are behaving worse than the Extremists because were the ones that are meant to be a cut above all this, were meant to be the leaders/pioneers of this decency, kindness and the like yet look at the news and how people behave. In my humble opinion the only way we can combat this, is to change our way of thinking which is all I try to tell people, it's upto them if they do it or not.
  9. I doubt we would be dancing in the streets to be honest and even so - I don't see how getting him has solved anything, pumping it out in the Media as much as the US and the UK are too is just fanning the flames of Extremism while benefiting politicians like Obama whose opinion polls were through the floor they were so low, now hes Captain America as the '' Man who got Bin Laden '' - no different to Maggie Thatcher in the 80's, she was detested then the Falklands happened and her popularity soared. It's far from a Victory when were meant to be more civilised than these Barbaric acts of Terrorism by celebrating the death of a human being - all that does is confirm their Holy War and make us look like a blood thirsty society and to be honest how do you expect to defeat an ideology by saying were better than they are when in fact we just behave as badly if not worse. Were meant to be setting the example aren't we ? My own view is.. job done, still a job to do be done so let's crack on with it and forget the Media frenzy or even jeering along.
  10. Phrase I got from Scrapheap Challenge with the Barley Pickers [ West Country Farmers ] After felling a tree, or someone else and looking over, as loud as you can in a Wurzel Gummage style voice... PROPERRRRRR JOBBBBBB !
  11. Sounds like a drunken Friday night idea if I ever heard one Some ace tattoos there Taupo, have heard branding is getting pretty popular along with other '' Body Mods '' as they call it - Maybe im old fashioned but think Tattoos look the best of the bunch
  12. Happy Birthday hope you have a good'un
  13. Reminds me of this tattoo a mate linked me..
  14. I do love that 6x4, looks pretty awesome all round and bet it can take some serious weight in chip or firewood
  15. Too true really Easy-Lift, it's just a shame really that the road to hell is paved with good intentions and for all of Jack and Roberts flaw's I don't think they deserved to pay for it the way they did - regardless of how they carried on.
  16. I've yet to meet a very good businessman that hasn't made some money from shady [be it illegal, unethical or both] dealings, problem with '' big '' business is that it breeds a lack of ethics, its only smaller scale for example people like us that were able to use our morals and principles.
  17. True, then again with Brads character in Fight Club he might just skip fighting Mick and have a happy slapping match with a Croc
  18. Even more so when they're paying you to laugh at them
  19. Im with you on that one Its also nice too that people come to you for advice and help and you're known as the go to person to get stuff done or if they want to bounce an idea off you its satisfying to be thought of well.
  20. Anyone else been watching it ? Like it ? Love it ? Hate it ? Personally leaning toward the 1st option so far, curious to hear others thoughts
  21. Few that really stood out for me were: Fight Club, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Inception, Waltz with Bashir, Collapse, Shadow Company, The Dark Knight, The Bourne Series
