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.

    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
    • We went to Chern Thai for lunch on Saturday, as we have done quite often, and they were closed, with no sign of life. The sign in the window still says Saturday 12-3, and there was no indication that they would be closed. Can anybody shed any light? We went to Chilli and Garlic on Zenoria Street instead. Their falafel salad bowl is amazing (and amazing value!) but we had been looking forward to a Pad Thai and a pint of Singha! ETA: I am reviving this thread because it is/was  specifically about Chern Thai's opening times!
