  3. Yes people would clip the silver coins, very serious offence if they got caught doing it. Nice thing to have that coin though

    edit: just checked and it was classed as treason and a capital offence

  4. I mostly prefer firm dates as as the saying goes 'tomorrow never comes', tradesmen are notorious for it.:confused:
     
  5. Quick trip to the coast to renew my passport

  6. After several years dithering, finally pulled the plug on a lifetime subscription for MRA and Navigation Next as it’s currently on special offer, £129. Andy

  10. Tickets? Ooooof

    Are you traveling round Europe with Chelsea.

    Work with some Man U fans ages ago they’d spent 15k watching every single game for a season. Something they just couldn’t afford now notwithstanding the other reasons. Lol

  11. Just the home league season tickets for Mrs GG and I; we haven’t been to Europe for football since Munich 2012 (unless you count Munich last year for the stadium tour wearing the 2012 final shirt) and Amsterdam 2013 on my own. The cost these days is eye-watering.

  15. Can't you set up a trap and catch them? You could then sell them to pet shops?
     
  16. Had the Multistrada 1260 yearly service done (14500 ish miles) @ Ducati Preston, no dramas, waited while they did it, drinking free coffee. Will be the desmo next year :scream:
     
  17. I bet there is all sorts of paperwork reasons that means it’s more hassle than it’s worth to trap a wild animal.
    Worthy suggestion though, maybe trap and sell privately to recoup the cost in bird feed.

    As a caveat to the above I’m not a fan of owning pets or animals in captivity, so I’m being a lot of a hypocrite with the above statement. Possibly the lesser of the evils though in trying to control the birds.

  18. We have squirrels the Grey import version and have a rifle but I’m troubled that should I wing it and only injure it’s a slow death.

  19. Definitely need something with a bit more power.
     
  20. I’m more concerned with a bad shot that the power tbh. A good air rifle will take out a Rat a squirrel although I’m making a big assumption are a much weaker target.

    A work colleague shoots Rats regularly in his back garden as they prey on his Ducks.

    His got a pretty good rig though to be fair.
