I'm speaking from my human angle on this one and I don't want to offend anyone here or start a slanging match. Do any of you guys hunt game. I do when I have the chance. I've hunted in Scotland, France, Spain and North America. Mainly taking Chinese water deer, Pronghorns, Pheasant, Pidgeons. I tried Bow hunting as I'm a very good shot at H.T field shooting but it was a bad kill which resulted in suffering. I doubt I'll hunt with a bow again. What are you're experiences?

I support hunting in theory - have never had the opportunity to do it for real. Would like to try game shooting of birds and deer.


I do fish and cook the trout that I occasionally catch - have tried to catch salmon on the River Dee - but with no joy. An excellent day out tho'.

Behave yourself Matthew. From my experience the twits that have animal heads mounted on their property are prone to having a few bob so essentially you'd be enticing a burglar into your home and with me above the door I wouldn't be able to protect your wifes Thripeny bits and Crown jewels now would I?

I'm on it already mate as they've been flogging under weight bags of weed to the local Squirrels and it's high time I sorted them out which means that unfortunatly there's going to be a lot more sceaming and wailing tonight but hopefully the toe cutting should be finished by mid morning.

You're getting much better Woof, much better but I hear that daddies dissappointment was all yours, premature ejaculation can ruin even the most incestuous relationships. If you don't believe me ask your kids as I'm sure they'd be grateful of a few tips to carry on the family tradition.

hit plenty of clays in my time, but nothing breathing.

Not against it in principal, especially if you're going to eat it, just not really had the opportunity.

See threads passim on bullfighting to realise bloodsport isn't a total no-no in my book, just really posh people ;-) (idiots in mickey mouse hats and sequined lycra is obviously fine)

I have shot various furry and feathered things over the years but I don?t really enjoy hunting. I gave it a go (or got roped into it in some instances) and the one thing that killing things taught me is that I don?t like killing things.


I don?t have any moral issues against it though. In fact flogging hunting holidays to poms and yanks who want to bag themselves an African kill does wonders for funding conservation efforts and boosting the rural economy back home.


I do quite enjoy shooting stuff though, just so long as it isn?t alive.


Edited for spilling ehroars.

I've been hunting with friends for quayle in the med many years ago as they like to eat that. There were not many about really so just ended up shooting targets instead. I've also been shooting in the galleries with live ammunition in the Czech republic with a forumite friend, where bizzarly enough you can go into a gun shop rent any gun and shoot in their underground gallery. You need to provide ID such as a passport though. That was then though and maybe things have changed.

    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
