  1. The door in that scene makes me laugh. Fck off great locking mechanism and then swings open like it's made of cardboard.
  2. I used to listen to Bob Harris Country ('folk, roots and Americana') driving home from Bury Smallbore in my fabulous little Vitara. I can still remember a song about a crofter dismayed at Londoners buying them up for leisure. Searched and searched. Never found it again. Think about it often.
  3. Open another bottle and stick Forrest Gump on. The soundtrack's decent and you can come back in a couple of hours and vent to us about what a bastard Jenny is.
  4. It gets better (less worse) as you go on. You listened to all 18 minutes, right?
  5. Mick and I regularly exchange media through a derelict but still-encrypted grindr server. I keep him supplied with his favourite type of Northern Irish pornography (fcking Brexit). He was recently kind enough to send this back, which he's been listening to on repeat apparently.
  6. For anyone interested in nuts and bolts, I can recommend this bloke's articles. They've been enormously useful to me over my past few months' impersonation of an industrial designer. https://www.boltscience.com/pages/info.htm
  7. Judaism.
  8. Insufficiently secure with your own masculinity, Mark? Real men wear skirts. Tell Mosh and Thrasher they're wrong.
  9. I've started wearing a waterproof skirt (bit of tarp I found) to walk the dog. Saves putting waterproof trousers on. Useful when wet dog or wet grass brushes your leg. I give it about a week before someone paints PEDO on the front of my house.
  10. Bungee and steer by subtraction rather than addition. Obviously hilariously dangerous next to a motorway. I mainly just wanted to raise the point about subtracting rather than adding when using machines. Helped me become smoother when I started thinking of it like that.
  11. Resist that kind of nonsense. Get the manufacturer to show you it. Stick the brochures up their noses and show them the door, centurion. Treat them very roughly.
  12. I bought a fairly expensive battery jump pack (fairly large Noco one). Doesn't work. Smart shit is mostly shit.
  13. Big news coming. Can't say too much. Massive announcement on the way. All in due course.
  14. No sowing bitch seeds until we get the Greenmech goss.

    Chickens?

    No sign of the ferret but shot a load of rats. No further fowl fatalities. IMG_6157.mov This white one (clutch sibling to the posh rooster) doesn’t shag the others but does make this noise. Another rooster?
  18. I'm really not the expert. I just start and it happens. From memory, order flexible: Bird on its back. Tear open skin at belly, pull skin off whatever seems easy, eventually rip fully round the waist so there's trouser skin and jumper skin. Guts out. Ideally the arsehole will come out with the rest of the guts if you do it roughly enough. Poke it through with your finger or cut the bone with secateurs and rake it out if necessary. Separate legs section from breast section, spine should break by hand. Axe to chop off feet and wings once you've peeled feathery skin back over them. Someone on youtube can almost certainly do it better.

    Chickens?

    My mate offered to take them. The bloke declined. Then released them fifty feet from my mate’s chicken run. Distinctly un-neighbourly.
  20. I’ve been watching Outdoor Boys videos recently. Particularly enjoy his cooking. Doing a little homage meal now. Bread balls with cheese in the middle and bacon, served with honey butter (which is what attracted me to him in the first place). Done on the fire inside because it’s raining outside and I don’t have any children whose characters need building with that sort of suffering.
  21. That’s a shame. I’m so spoiled by shooting silenced subsonics. Can’t stand noise.
  22. How loud are they? Compared to a 22 rimfire shooting subs, silenced and not. I’ve been fancying one for ages. What I really want is a little mortar, ideally smaller than a 51mm. Maybe 40mm to share ammo with a grenade launcher. With a stand and lovely little screws for adjusting. But alas, I live in an uncivilised country that forbids them unless you kill arabs with them and I don’t especially want to kill any arabs.

    Chickens?

    Applicable anecdote. Maybe the ferret pulled the head off instead. It was actually four of them released btw.

    Chickens?

    Ate the head off it. We thought fox at first but my mate then nearly trod on the ferret. Too much of a coincidence.

    Chickens?

    This one turned out to be very much a rooster. Still getting eggs. 0-2 a day usually but bizarrely got 5 yesterday (5 standard hens and the 2 white ones, if they are indeed hens and old enough to lay eggs). Bad news next door. My mate lost a turkey and several chickens to a ferret that some helpful fellow discarded. I’ve been out trying to shoot it but alas no sign. Gut feeling is it’s perished in the cold. Had ten rats over the past couple of nights getting bored waiting though. Pard dedicated on the Little Badger. Still too much mag (6x).
