  1. Absolutely , I used one Tuesday to dismantle a large poplar safely.
  2. DRS I'm not saying the commercial food doesnt have its place in our fast paced society, but for example my little terrier catches the odd rabbit here and there .. and if she catches it then thats her dinner.. raw as it comes. Now previously if i had sat a raw rabbit in her dinner bowl she would not even have looked at it. Because I set it up as a game now she absolutely demolishes it. And I've tried this now over a fair period so there is no doubt. My neighbours have cottoned on to me doing this so they now leave rabbits out for me aswell. What about just once or twice a week thawing out some cheap minced lamb or beef ? I spoke to a nice lady with a gorgeous young patterdale terrier a couple of days ago and she was moaning to me how she couldn't get it to eat properly....even though it was on Hills Science Diet!!! oh i wonder why???
  3. This is a big subject for me this... I am totally convinced that these modern ' easy feed ' dry diets ( my best mate calls it canine pot noodle , and he's one of the best genuine working dog men i know ) is responsible for many of the serious canine ailments we have today. I'm sorry but they are making dog owners lazy in regards to diet. There is absolutely no substitute for fresh raw meat and vegetables , cooked a little if need be. The two way relationship between man and dog which has developed over thousands of years has largely been lost ... I believe dogs not only want to do something for their owners but NEED to do something, mentally and physically. Even a couple of days a week get your dog to ' find ' his own dinner. Hide a bone or something succulent behind a tree or under a bush and watch what a dog can do , you can make up no end of permutations and your dog will be as happy as a sandboy.
  4. So sad for your loss.. Like others on here I take losing dogs very hard aswell.
  5. Thinking of the serviceman and their wives. Hard time for them aswell.
  6. Scotland seems to produce some amazing cyclists that are not given appropriate recognition. My favourite is ' the flying scotsman ' Graeme Obree' . Thanks for posting .
  7. So much wanted to like 'its a wonderful life ' but dont. I love the ' the snowman '

  9. Classic , I've always wanted to do that Wonder what he ordered for the ardennes ? 20 McFlurries ?
  10. Orange plant advertised on here have a depot in kirkintilloch on the northern outskirts of Glasgow. I personally think you will be lucky to hire one close to mallaig and may end up towing as you say but i would book something sooner rather than later incase you get caught out .
  11. Hello huskyboy, I just printed this off word for word from the Aberdeen press & journal so dont know any other info. Sounds like someone experienced their after but you never know , theres no harm in letting him know your intentions.
  12. Heaters in Land Rovers are too hot... is that a first? Just need to blow it in right place and were there!!!

  15. Pollarded or killed Pedroski ? that is the question....
  16. It will fall on deaf ears that one . Sorry I'm outta here......
  17. I'm not a carver so excuse my ignorance, but you seem to use the burnt aspect to great effect, gives it real contrast. P.S .. notice you are in Belgium , wife and i been there a couple of times just touring about seeing where we end up. We were in France aswell but hated it and couldn't wait to get back to Belgium, great place.
  18. McConnachie Land & Forestry Services have a vacancy for a forester. The role will primarily include supervising forestry operations and carrying out forest survey work. Applicants should send a c.v and covering letter to Ranald McConnachie Land & Forestry Services , 7 Marleon field, Elgin IV304GB email:[email protected]
  19. I'll bet some of them have horrendous mud fever aswell and overgrown hooves. Unless she is a lottery winner or drug dealer theres no way she is paying for a farrier.
  20. In all seriousness rover... the woman sounds a crackpot. If the horses are in the field while you are working they will be over..guaranteed, with some of them careering about. I'd be willing to bet a fairly modest amount you will have a vet bill like no other come through your door when your finished. I would be insisting the horses are out of the field or at least cordoned off.
  21. 25 horses in 5 ACRES!!!!!!!!!!! Are you having a laugh Does the RSPCA know about this ?
