  1. Might be worth doing the full length and getting some fencing guys in. Nothing worse than half a fence line and gives you the opportunity to straighten it up in the process.
  2. I'm more intrigued as to what the electric board are doing to the left with four stays.
  3. They certainly learn, but FAC give a little advantage of distance. Need to start clearing the overgrown again before the bluebells start growing over the next few weeks.
  4. Same here, I only ever get the occasional weirdo that's taking a leak field side or one of the utilities guys. Always seems to be when I'm in camo on the hunt for squirrels.
  5. HW90K was the last Weihrauch I had, definitely getting another one day. I got lazy afterwards with PCP and had Air Arms, possibly my 5th. Just remember whatever you're budget it's 200 for a decent scope plus sports match mounts.
  6. HW100 are just a bit pricey tho, bit like the whole FX fad. Yeah they're nice but I want to use it not spend three weeks playing with it or worry about dinking it.
  7. Well don't sit on @Botty Cough's fence.
  8. Had a sub 12 huntsman, I hated it with every fibre of my being. Air arms are a bit bulky but a dream to shoot from 12 to FAC. If it's sub 12 S410 are cheap and short even with a moderator, FAC is the S510 but awful moderator as it's a shrouded barrel. Depends on budgets.
  9. I think you will care if someone gets a zap on a barb wire fence they are more likely to cause more possibly life threatening damage to themselves. As you're then leaving yourself liable for paying out a very large sum of money, hence why plain wire is ok but barb is not. Even worse if you're doing it along any public access routes.
  10. Yeah, and every traveller has always found the lock to have been broken beforehand, how do you prove it. Electrifying the fence just makes you more legally culpable, a plain wire you can justify a barb wire shows intentions to do harm regardless of signage.
  11. It's a civil offence, you have to show they've done damage. Obviously if they've stolen something off the property, that's theft which is a criminal offence.
  12. Just pick up a phone and call a decent sized arb company for them to do it for you. No sod is going to rent or loan a saw that big, without you signing over your life savings, house, wife and possibly a few IOU handies.
  13. I was more picturing d day style
  14. Do they do those metal x things down at the agri wholesalers?.
  15. Simple answer you can't, on top of say security fencing isn't a problem tho. What are you actually wanting to prevent ?.
  16. Are they original blades, as I think they're hollow ground. So if they're just straight that would explain the overbite.
  17. That's B30, commonly known as dirty thirty at sellafield. Seagulls would sit on the water, absorb a little radiation and poo all over the lake district, leaving a radioactive trace wherever they went. It's currently in the process of being cleaned up.
  18. The matching studded dog collar was a little excessive.
  19. To spank or spunk that is the question?. Sounds cheesy enough to be on Ant&Dechead.
  20. That's what he has to do when they're broken again.
  21. Damn it, no wonder I kept getting fired after going to Asda.
  22. Are you sure you spelt winching correctly at £785 each?.
  23. Do they actually have a tag or microchip tho ?.
  24. Fowl is ducks and geese. I don't do equine, they're too busy thinking of the next horse rug and saddle to pay for stables and hay.
  25. God only knows, just seems like a lot more pointless paperwork especially for poultry, will fowl be next?. I've long thought horses and such should be ear tagged, but really it should have been at the same time as sheep and cattle, using the RFID studs.
