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.

My mate offered to take them. The bloke declined. Then released them fifty feet from my mate’s chicken run. Distinctly un-neighbourly.

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.

That’s a shame. I’m so spoiled by shooting silenced subsonics. Can’t stand noise.
-
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.

Applicable anecdote. Maybe the ferret pulled the head off instead. It was actually four of them released btw.
-
Ate the head off it. We thought fox at first but my mate then nearly trod on the ferret. Too much of a coincidence.

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).

How dare you trivialise the nation's grief. Consider arbtalk cancelled.

I can still remember mum coming into my bedroom to tell me about Lady Di. She honestly made a bigger thing of it than when granny died.

Raising a glass to the people’s princess tonight. Raise one with me or you’re a big meanie.

Smashing sketch. I didn't think I was being facaetious btw. I was serious. There's an above average chance of somesuch silly shit occurring.

If you don't like that, I suspect you won't like the next game where the players kneel or throw black power salutes for him.

Still in near daily use. Still in drop D. Still on the strings it came with! Still sounds good.

I like to think Big J would chime in around now to remind us it only rains Dom Pérignon in Sweden but alas, it seems he's gone. Was it the darkies or motorists he didn't like on here?
-
Two good points. I don't care about the lead. I'm indestructible. Never memorably found any steel shot in a bird. Would care if I did though. My teeth aren't indestructible.

Twenty years ago (jesus christ...) three of us went out in Ipswich. I went home with a girl to help her put up some shelves. My mates went to a nightclub. Six the next morning I skulk back to my mate's house to pick up my work stuff. Rather than finding them peacefully abed, I find chaos. My mate's mum is shouting at my other mate through the bathroom door. Apparently they'd both been doing this for a while. I effected entry and discovered said mate had been sitting on the loo until he passed out and blocked the door with his head. The mess was horrific. I can recall it now with all of my senses. I wish I couldn't. Being christmas, I wrapped him in swaddling clothes (all the towels), bundled him into the bath and declared my involvement over. His mum and dad had to come and collect him and his car that afternoon, where he still wasn't capable of much. He swore blind his drink was spiked.

I'd be interested in your opinion if you didn't make a two-ingredient foodstuff from a packet. And Joe's being nice for once. Let's all just enjoy that for five or ten minutes.

Happy to report the Arktis B310 is still waterproof after 14 months. Even happier to report I've just sunk a big glass of sherry.
-
Anyone who can keep booze without drinking it clearly hasn't understood the gravity of the situation.
-
Bastards. Rain it is.
-
Why not both?
-
I’m listening to the freezing rain on the window and staring down the barrel of a night with no drink or getting wet walking to the shop. Nobody’s been on the beveragino thread for a while. Bloody muslims.
