Happy Birthday mate :cheers:

and you'd then get a stern warning from the police for wasting their time and money for sending armed police in riot vans round for a pointless call. Exactly what happened to my neighbour many houses and years back that thought they would poke their nose into other people's (my) affairs. so...

I agree with Aleman. Extract brewing isn't something to turn your nose up at. it can still make better beer than a kit!

sorry to hear mate :( should be ok to leave another day :thumb:

a wasp took a dive bomb into my boiler. fortunately it was during the boil though. the beer got named Wasp Stinger :twisted: have snapped a hydrometer in a freshly made bucket of wort after spending 7 hours brewing it! as i forgot it was in there when aerating aggressively with a spoon! *doh*...

:lol: My neighbour has asked if i can shoot them off of his trees too :party: i'll make sure i get that in writing before i do... don't fancy risking getting done for armed trespass! :shock:

there's not alot of meat on it, the only decent bit was the breast... i had a go at a leg but couldn't get alot off it. but it's rich enough to be fullfilling :thumb: i certainly didn't want anymore in that sitting. my rifle is now being kept by my patio door incase i spot one of the buggers...

i just had to interrupt my meal to report on the meat. oh WOW! this is fecking delicious! a little tough to cut mind, but i've not yet given it chance to rest, which i will do while i'm eating some of the veg smothered in the stock. it's not gamey at all! no where near as powerful as...

I got home late as i decided to have a few jars in my local after a very generous donation of empty bottles and they wanted to sample my home brew. I had good results! I nearly cancelled the pigeon roasting as i though i'd had a few too many, but then i got the munchies and thought that it's...

looking good! 8-) let us know how it turns out :thumb:

:lol: or, don't shoot them, cos they're protected ;) :lol:

fair enough. cheers :thumb:

yeah! i'm annoyed i chucked the giblets now :evil: as i didn't realise they were usable at the time (being an unfamiliar bird). next time i'll keep them and flash fry them or something :thumb:

ah! super! cheers mate :thumb:
