have you watched any of Bald and Bankrupts YouTube videos?

Yes thanks, loads of them. Getting mobbed by the babushkas in Belarus. Great videos.

Have to make sure you don't get caught by the Bolsheviks.

Eastern Europe is the only place we go for holidays, city breaks in Ukraine, Serbia, Azerbaijan and Belarus have been the best, hoping to go to Moldova and Kazakhstan in the next few years.

That's more adventurous than me. Only been to CZ, Poland, Latvia and Hungary, and while they're obviously not Western Europe, they're westernised in many ways. Would like to do one or two of the countries you've done, but think that may take a lot more planning and thought than getting on Easyjet for Prague or Krakow.

Don't climb over any barbed or razor wire fences, then.

I thought this was the good news thread…..

Anyway, whilst on holiday I passed a farm selling apples: £3 a bucket and they had Russets, my absolute fav apple that is rare to see in the shops.

The National Trust has now banned "Drag Hunting" on its land , it appears that they have now realised it was just a front for fox hunting .

Good heavens, I'm stunned.

Who could have thought it?

"Huntsman Derek Hopkins and terrier man Kevin Allen of the Leicestershire based Fernie Hunt had their appeal dismissed at Leicester Crown Court."
"They had each been found guilty at Leicester Magistrates Court earlier in the year of hunting a wild mammal with dogs and for interfering with a badger sett during an incident which took place in January 2010. Footage taken by investigators from the League Against Cruel Sports showed hounds hunting across open fields before marking to ground at a hedgerow. Shortly afterwards the huntsman arrived and took the hounds away to a nearby field while terrier men entered a terrier into the sett and proceeded to dig it. After about twenty minutes a fox was bolted and pursued by hounds.

Hopkins and Allen claimed to be trail hunting"

The Quorn men, however, were found not guilty.
"Claiming the footage showed terriermen arriving on a quad bike to dig up the fox, Mr Fielding asked: "If this is a genuine drag hunt, why have you even got terriermen in the field? You don’t need them.


"The terriermen were there because this was a proper fox hunt going back to the olden days."


Roger Swaine, of the League Against Cruel Sports, told the court a fox could be seen on the video at 12.37pm, a minute after Matcham appeared to see something in a covert.


The prosecution witness told magistrates: “The hounds were barking excitedly.


“Then after the fox broke cover and then went back into the covert again, Mr Matcham rode into the clearing."

More likely nowadays they thought it anti-trans people.

might have been much worse if it was someone they didn't like.

"A former policeman who had his neck broken in an attack while he was monitoring the Belvoir Hunt has been given a payout of £37,500.

Darryl Cunnington, a League Against Cruel Sports member who served with Leicestershire Police for 29 years, was with his colleague Roger Swaine on a public bridleway near Melton when the hunt's terrier man, George Grant, 57, and his son Thomas 25, approached them and summoned four men in balaclavas to beat them up."

That's no where near enough money, guy was lucky to survive

Harry, if it's within a day or two of your old ticket expiring, that's all you will get on your new one - a day or two. There is no way you can have an mot done within a day or two of the old one expiring and get a 13 month MOT. No way at all.

13 month near as damn it - old due to expire 27th November 2021, MOT done yesterday (30th October) and good to 27th November 2022.
