    Should have pretended to be the farmer as they're entitled to shoot any dogs worrying their livestock, if the female owner got in the way I think that's bonus points<laugh>

    My mate in Tow Law has had that many sheep/ lambs killed he doesn’t even give a warning, if they are off lead running about, they’re dead.

    My only problem owner is that my gun licence is French so not sure it counts here. On the other hand the field belongs to my boss who does have a current UK shotgun licence ...

    the woman was a real mouthy cow, I preferred the dog tbh <laugh>

    I suppose since your gun licence is french, does your shotgun go "bôme" instead of boom?

    I see the next pop culture war flashpoint is here. The Marvels trailer dropped this week, cue six months of middle aged white men being told **** off, this film's not for you, and then blamed for not going to see it.

    Just watched the national. Imo the protesters did the opposite of their goal. Horses were stressed as they couldn't get out of the padock and ended up falling in big numbers, can't remember it happening on that scale in a long time.

    Backed 5 horses in the National. They finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 11th.

    Can't sniff at that, though I'd have doubled my profit if 2nd had caught 1st.

    3 of the buggers fell because of the stress of the faith and e/w I imposed on them

    Starship launch attempt in 7 minutes...Musk reckons it has a 50/50 chance of success so should be a decent watch. This thing is massive so I've knocked up a comparison and added Roker Lighthouse (75ft) :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Can watch it live here

    That's absolutely tragic tbh, this poor man has been covering snooker for twenty five years ...

    ... my thoughts go out to him and his family.

    One of these protesters is going to be beaten to a pulp one of these days.

    Hope so. Might put a stop to selfish tw*ts spoiling peoples enjoyment or inconveniencing them. In this case the crowd should be provided with the guys details so they can all sue him for their ticket cost
