  1. That's an American tractor - not a bike! :yp:
  2. After having a relatively bad accident 4-5years ago while with a reputable firm (privilege) and seeing how it didnt seem to matter at all, they were a joke and barely fought the chav muppet that run up the back of me at all - I now go for the cheapest bit of paper that gets me legal for the road. At the time of the accident I had loan cars turn up that were not from the insurance company - which they claimed was because they pass on the accident details for statistics. I also presented video evidence to show me driving in front of the chav that hit me two miles away from the accident site (as he claimed I reversed out of a driveway in to the front of him) and they were still not fighting as hard as they should of. They will all try to shaft you so you're better sorting it yourself with your own brief if it all goes bad. I had a stone fall off a tractor trailer Nd wipe out my cars front bumper one morning and again the insurance company basically said "there's not a lot we can do" Get the minimum and just do the same as most people do - deny everything and claim ignorance.. Bitter about it?....you bet! Regards, Gixer
  3. It's them trying to get their prescription money back huh?
  4. I was renewing my insurance on compare the market and found the cheapest quote to be swinton - I clicked the "buy now" link and was greeted with the below message about being outside the UK (which I am not) So I then called the number - at the end of the call I noticed that the quote had increased by £10 - this was as the girl "glossed" over the figure at 100mph - I asked her to stop and repeat the figure and then questioned why it was £10 more expensive - she said it was the admin charge - I explained that I had only called because of the error message I recieved - she commented that it didn't matter and that because she had checked all details they needed the additional £10 - I told her to stop and that I wouldn't be going on with the policy....she explained that as I had agreed to the quote (prior to her mentioning the higher figure) and given the card details that I would be held to this as the £10 is mentioned in the small print (as per below screenshot) - I had a minor hissy fit and asked to speak to someone higher up so... Eventually after the usual "i'll talk to my supervisor" the charge was removed but it just shows that if you didn't take care you could get blagged for £10 due to thier web problem - not really cricket! watch yourself! One good point is I saves 26% on my car insurance and 20% on my bike insurance!! Regards, Gixer

    PPI calls

    I keep getting a weekly call from an automated PPI message on my personal mobile - is there any way to stop this as it is driving me nuts the number is 01256 802805. I have never had PPI or anything like that so it's obviously a scatter gun call approach. Regards, gixer

    Coolio

    Disgraceful on live animals! What's the point if its all done for you on a computer! And they way they "sneak up" behind the boulder - what's the need to do that at 800 yards? The reason most stalking shots are taken under 200 yards is that most stalkers/hunters prefer to "stalk" in unnoticed. Why not just legalise the use of mortars on wildlife... :blink:
  7. They're not in Scotland you fool!
  8. Wonder if we could build one out of parts cheaper than buying it?
  9. So where can these be bought UD?
  10. you'd feel bad if he really did!
  11. Another good suggestion but a long drive, the cuillin hills hotel is nice.
  12. Perfect, Go online and check out these places - Piperdam golf and leisure resort - nice cabins with hot tubs and health spa, swimming, golf etc- .http://www.piperdam.com/ Loch Tay - http://www.lochtay-vacations.co.uk/ For hotels try ballater, breamar or Banchory, all nice locations with beautiful scenery and a good base for exploring the surrounding areas. Perth is also beautiful - loch rannoch hotel - http://www.macdonaldhotels.co.uk/our-hotels/macdonald-loch-rannoch-hotel/ And finally fort William - go along the Caledonian canal route all the way up to Inverness and look round Loch Ness. Hope this helps my friend. Regards, Gixer
  13. Where are you based?
  14. They do make shotguns! Think they made double rifles too...
  15. How did it mount onto the rifle underdog? Love the look of them without scopes but I just can't consistently hit anything past 35 yards with my 94's and irons and they are so easily shifted by a knock... Regards, Gixer
  16. Silence townie scum!!! Get back in your townhouse and eat your processed food.. :yp:
  17. Neither is more accurate - one is more suited to shedding heat though whereas the other is easier to carry around. You don't see many Scout sniper rifles used by the forces with varmint barrels I could see a possible slight difference in movement but if you are holding it correctly it shouldn't really make any difference. Regards, Gixer
  18. It does make a valid point, but would it be as popular if they used this picture?
  19. High Powered rifle + Swivel chair = major comedy value....... "BANG" swivel, swivel, swivel.......

    BEWARE

    Oddly enough you could say it already is i'm afraid Billy - if you were constantly getting speeding offences and lost your licence and it was enough for an FEO to deem you did not qualify as a "person of good character" then they could infact make a recommendation you didn't recieve a cert.... Not my words but my FEO (whom's number i'd be happy to pass on if anyone doubts this) Regards, Gixer
  21. Sorry, wasn't being pedantic - but I happened to notice the other day that "Toys R' Us are selling a toy side by side shot gun that comes with cartridges - I have no problems with toy guns at all but I couldn't help but think how if a kid had this toy and was used to playing with it and was doing the usual kid things then they would go through the same act if they found "Dad's gun" lying with cartridges in close proximity and it really does send a shiver down my spine as I have two young kids.- I actually don't like toy guns in my housde as i have the real thing, I know 90% of owners are safe and lock them away but you always run the risk of a child getting hold of a gun at some point. I remember seeing a study on children and guns and apparently a high percentage of children when given a toy gun - the first thing they will do is point it at someone and pull the trigger or say "bang"....there have been more than a few instances of kids doing this to there brother/sister with a real gun unfortunatley.... Here's an example of a toy that is pretty close! - http://www.furfeatherandfin.com/product/293/qs04/toy-shotgun-collection.html Please do not take offense as none was meant - just a friendly bit of advice. Regards, Gixer
  22. Oddly enough myself and a friend tried out my mossberg in the snow at around 25 yards and it has a fixed cyl barrel - the pattern was around 18"-24" spread... I thought that was not too bad for cylinder... Regards, Gixer
