Excellent response, thanks a lot I will take you up on the offers of assistance as I progress with my enquiries.

Looking at buying a Subaru impreza turbo, anyone any knowledge / advice ?

Try a larsen trap for the magpies as my 12g would wake the whole neighbourhood and the boys in blue would soon come a callin (as they should. I needn't be alone to enjoy fishing / shooting, I can enjoy a session on a pond or river with like minded souls (not too close)

How many members are interested in all aspects of nature as I am and have Shooting and fishing as pass times ?. Some people I talk to find it difficult to understand how I can Shoot pidgeons over decoys and thoroughly enjoy fooling them in the first place, Killing cleanly and then preparing some delicious healthy meals from the results and yet not dream of eating what I catch while coarse fishing. Am I alone in feeling that the more I interact with nature and the out doors the better I feel.

:confused: I know there is a diesel replacement fuel which can manufactured using oil from the same plant as we use in our chip pan (Oilseed Rape) but would doubt very much if Cooking oil is any use.

Does anyone out there have any views on Magpies. I have just spent all day trying to stop a pair of magpies eating all the young in the three nests in my garden hedge (1 wren, 1 greenfinch and a blackbird). is there anything I can do? I know the magpies will return first thing in the morning to polish them all off.

I agree with ID cards. allied to the national DNA register could the person who's card it is have their dna fingerprint attached ? to stop counterfeiting. This may sound high tech but is feasable. Anything to reduce Fraud and aid in identifying criminals must be of benefit.

Can't agree more, I own an epix 30, 1 spool loaded with braid, faultless smooth operation at a very good price. I aim to purchase another shortly.
