    Re: Whats everyone up to today ?

    Replacing the plastic window surrounds on a mobile home.
    They are a tight fit, and my hands are bloody frozen which is making it difficult.
    Ballsed the first one up by cutting the surround too short.

    Trying to keep the very persistant herons out of my pond.
    The bastards are eating all my frogs and frogspawn.
    Last year one of them killed a 5lb+ carp in my pond, feckin things, didn't even eat it.
    Also trying to stop the even more persistant pigeons from eating my cabbages. With all these new gun laws and relatively cheap food, nobody shoots pigeons any more and they are becoming a major problem. The same goes for rabbits.

    Crashing out on the sofa all day watching sport, not a lot else I can do as I've been in hospital having my 8th or 9th (lost count) knee op. I've mastered the art of walking on crutches though. Saturday night and I can't even drink so you all enjoy yourselves tonight when you're out on the raz.

    But it is not always legal, and you can end up in very big trouble.
    Herons are a protected species I think, so you can't shoot them.
    Personally I wouldn't shoot them anyway, I take the view that if you have a pond, you will also have a heron.
    I don't really understand why people do shoot them just because they are eating their fish. What do they expect.
    A bit like having pet mice outside and shooting cats.

    I keep trying to introduce my little Russian comrades to the delights of eating rabbits, but they are not over keen.

    Yeah Tony Martin found that out

    Do you get many cormorants Dave? Horrible little bastards those.... "the black death" It's incredible how many fish they eat. Can't shoot em either - protected species.

    Today I'm feeling a little delicate after too much Guinness last night. Won't be doing anything constructive or violent today. Just catching up on some paperwork, god only knows if i'm doing it right, brain's only firing on about 1 cylinder. Going for a swim later, great hangover cure

    I see them flying around, but not much, I saw one on Friday though.
    If one of them comes onto my pond it will be shot. Illegal or not.
    The biggest reason they come inland is because of the overfishing in the sea in my opinion. I think if the devastation that trawling does was more visible there would be a massive public outcry.

    I spent this morning swapping my polybushed TCAs for pattern items with standard rubber bushes, suspecting the polys were knackered. They weren't knackered and now the car's horrible and vague to drive. :'(

    Been bloody busy today!
    Up at about 7ish, took the wife up a cup of tea, made breakfast - a bit of toast for her and a big fry up for me, went for a walk into Hornchurch, had a coffee and a panini in the deli, bought some nice fillet steaks in the butchers for tea tonight, some smoked haddock from Sainsbury's for my breakkie tomorrow, queued up in the Abbey National for about half an hour, bought some seeds from Woolies (gonna grow my own herbs this year (wife took the piss so she won't be getting any), came back and cleaned out the understairs cupboard of shoes (chucked about 6 pairs out) along with about a zillion plastic carrier bags (what does she save them for?), put a couple of chairs that I got down last Saturday back in the loft, took a couple of crate loads of empty wine bottles down the bottle bank, filled up both cars with windscreen wash fluid, bought some tiny halogen bulbs for the kitchen undercupboard lighting from eBay cos I refuse to pay the silly prices they ask in high street shops.
    Only then was I 'allowed' to play on the internet! Think I'll go and lie down for a while now. I'm knackered.
