The ongoing saga of clearing the mother in laws house continued today. Came across this....couldn't find the remote mind!!
shot with an air rifle during the lambing season they eat the birthing lambs eye and tongue, farmers put a bounty on them
The remote control is a combination of those 2 knobs on the righthand side - it's totally useless these days unless you have an equally old games console or an early digital tv box. Clean it up and stick it on ebay please log in to view this image
I once entered a old house down Trimdon st and in the bedrooms upstairs, there were probably 50 sets similar to these and in another bedroom it was full to the ceiling of boxes about 18” square full of the little metal eye holes you have on your shoes where the laces go through
didn't say it was shot there,wounded and died in the tree ,shot elsewhere with an underpowered gun, whats your take mate as ive never seen 1 die of its own accord in a tree.
I wouldn’t disagree and say it hadn’t been shot my point was about farmers and lambs. There’s loads of people who shoot air rifles all over around here. That’s why there are loads of foster cans and coke cans in trees. If it’s been shot it’s nowt to do with lambs as there are none around here and given it’s nesting season and there are plenty of fields (park and arable) around (only livestock in area are now horses) I doubt it’s been very far. I’ll have a dodge over tomorrow and if it’s still there I’ll look for a bullet hole. To answer your question I’ll go old age.
Been looking through some old photos today and came across one of my old flag. The flag was "liberated" from the Old Ship Hotel in Brighton in 1984. I also liberated some white bed linen, and spent bloody ages cutting out and hand stitching on the SUNDERLAND letters. The badge was also cut from the same linen, and coloured in with permanent marker, the Sunderland letters on the badge were iron-on letters. I reckon this was taken in July 1985, by August it also had ROKER PARK under the badge, in the same lettering as the Sunderland above it.
