Hunting & other rural pursuits

Iā€™m glad we are still talking, I though we were fell out you were very contrary yesterday

was it a decent size boat, the brother in law claims to own a boat but really its a dinghy

Tā€™was. There was 10 of us out on it.

Sounds like a big dingy

that would be grand

I fished for them off the pier but cought more pollock then makrel. Feathers are a great job for catching them. Lidl were selling good rods last year and I picked up the whole set cheap enough.

The countryside around my way is alive with foxes at the moment. Iā€™ve seen one almost every time Iā€™ve gone out with the dogs in the past month. Turned around this evening to find a curious fox cub following us.

You donā€™t go walking that little jack russell of yours, do you? :lol: FFS

:rolleyes:
My terrier is a noble beast.
Just cause your mongrel got ripped asunder by a rat.

He is a pure breed and has had a noble stud career.

Why does this fella keep getting a platform?

Why put ourselves on a plate for alien life form?

I am probably in a very small minority when I say this, but I wasnā€™t among those cheering or celebrating when the Curiosity Rover touched down on Mars.
I have long had a nagging unease about the search for life in the Universe.

Apart from the various craft that Nasa has sent hurtling through space, there are numerous radio telescopes around the world transmitting signals in the hope that alien civilisations will contact us.

Is it such a good idea to be drawing their attention?

Fine, if we make contact with a benign species that subscribes to a compassionate lifestyle, universal peace and harmony, etc. Thatā€™s the kind of being weā€™d like to hear from.

But we just might be visited ā€” or invaded ā€” by beings that are as far removed from us intellectually as we are from other species on our own planet.
They could opt to avail of us in the way we have exploited the animal kingdom. And what could be our argument against that? On what ethical basis could we object to being subjected to the same treatment that we have meted out for so long to the ā€œlesser speciesā€?

Visualise the factories, breeding establishments and rendering plants built to turn us into dinner for our new masters.

No. Iā€™ll not be popping open a bottle of champagne if the camera on Curiosity Rover transmits an image of a happy little green man or woman waving at us from Mars.

Iā€™d be more inclined to reach for a bottle of the hard stuff.

Saw a pine martin on my way out herding this evening. Been a few years since I saw one. They certainly stay outta sight.

Pine martins are lovely timid creatures.

Was there a lad on here before whoā€™s mutt was mangled by a pine martin one time?

itā€™s M A R T E N you fucking ignorant dolts :guns:

Correct mate.

They usually have a litter of about 3-6, its a wonder the place isnā€™t run over with them?

Grammar like this is not acceptable around here. I will let you off this time but more infractions like this and i will ban you.

Arranged to meet an old friend in a vegetarian :rolleyes: cafe recently, despite my protests to meet somewhere else, she insisted.

She walked in wearing a full-length mink coat and a brown leather bag. :clap: Take that you cunts.

The pine marten killed a few lambs in us back in the day. Gave them a dirty death tooā€¦ Iā€™ll never forget the blood stained snow on that January morning.

Theyā€™ll get no sympathy here.
