....An orbital scorer run over the wall first, then steamed, scraped and repeat over and over and over and over...............and over!!!
That was what I did in four rooms at this current house we are in. Three rooms were gloss over wood chip, one room VARNISH over wood chip.
Jeez.

Still waiting for hmrc to come and arrest me for non payment. 👀
Aha!
HMRC here.
You're located Mr Mellors. We Google mapped "Pigeon Heaven, Leicestershire" and couldn't find it so your attempt at tax evasion by giving a false address didn't work.
Now we can trace you.....

Hi, just started researching for a house extension, I’ve noticed that on a lot of extensions the ridge line is about a foot lower than the original building even though there is no gradient. Any reason why this is done?
There is a big chance you will not need Planning Permission for an extension as it will likely be automatically granted under Permitted Development.
Check out the criteria on the interactive house on the Government Planning Portal.

My mother in law is a bully. Does that count?
Not at all.
Your Mother in Law's child is no longer hers. She (or he, maybe - just being PC) is now your wife / husband.
Tell her to **** off.

The only thing I do not like is the info box on the right, it is only on threads/topics with 3 or more pages, I maybe missing something but it seems totally pointless info.
I agree with this ^^^^^
Why have a useless wide margin permanently down the side.
Otherwise ok.

Harry Dunn's alleged killer Anne Sacoolas drove on the "wrong side of the road for 20 seconds" before the fatal crash, her lawyers said.But she was "otherwise driving cautiously and below the speed limit", her legal representatives added.She was on the wrong side of the road. How "cautious" is that. Jeez.....

Black Golds provisionally sold to Tightchoke.
AlexBee if your local and still interested in just the .410s then let me know.
If AlexBee doesn't want the 410's then I will have them and sort out something with TightChoke?

He has set himself some very high bars. Let us hope he can pull it off but I definitely wish him well. Many of the issues raised are long overdue.

My lightweight is a Tenson (Swedish)........ Only minus is that the zip is small and fiddly.
These people
are great at zip replacements and general outdoor clothing repairs.
I have no connection with them - other than being a very satisfied customer.

I've said this before in the distant past....
Goretex isn't GORE-TEX (trademark). GORE-TEX is 100% waterproof and breathable. I've worn golf over-trousers made of GORE-TEX while fishing, sitting for hours in the rain. Legs felt cold and damp, but took the over-trousers off after the session and I was bone dry. Still wear them under certain camo trousers when raining or just need an extra layer.
I don't know what Goretex is made of as a material, but it ain't waterproof,,,, HTH 😉
I have shot and stalked all over the UK in all weathers, fished offshore in worse, walked the dog many times in horizontal rain, climbed Scaffel pike, Snowdon, Ben Nevis and many more - plus spent many years in W Africa and Florida where, when it rains, it can physically hurt you - and I have never been let down once by anything GORE-TEX.
Lightweight stuff is either Berghaus Paclite or North Face.
Mid-weight stuff is Schoffel and some Musto.
Heavyweight stuff is all Musto - which I have crawled through flowing ditches and streams in.
All footwear is Miendl
None of these items are cheap to buy but several items are well over 20 years old so what is "cheap"? All are washed once a year with the 2 stage NikWax stuff and all are always hung on hangers with breathable space around them. Boots are regularly waxed.
Overall, the cost of ownership is tiny.

We've got a 2012 Subaru Forester (2.0 petrol, manual) with 102,000 miles on the clock that is now my shoot wagon.
What did my wife replace it with ? A 2018 Subaru Forester, 2.0 petrol, manual gearbox.
The old one averages about 30mpg - but it's only doing 4-5k a year now, so it doesn't matter. I've got my BMW diesel for commuting, etc.
Newer ones are better on the economy - 6 speed box as opposed to 5 speed.
Don't even think about an auto. The CVT gearbox is hateful
I have a 2005 Forester XT auto. Had it from new. Near 120K miles on it now. The auto box is great. No major issues and never let me down. It is now my shooting truck as SWMBO got fed up with dog hairs on her frock so bought a new one - 2017/18 Forester XT with CVT gearbox and 3 mode switching. Best all round car I have ever owned. MPG? = Miles Per Grin.
Great off road and on road cars.

I'm sure they are appealing on the advice of their Lawyers. Legal aided?
Can we add the right of appropriate defence (ROAD?) to Harpers Law so we can reasonably defend our own property and lives?

We have lashed osprey dry bags to the outside of charter vessels and still the contents were dry.

I gave up after the first five minutes of mumbled dialogue. Can't be bothered straining my ears to try and work out what they're saying.

90% of Netflix we watch has mumbled sound. All other channels etc are fine - just Netflix.
Anyone know why that might be? Maybe a TV setting wrong?
