Current BASC and Deer Society guidance sadly is no shooting - this may affect your BASC insurance so be warned.

lovely site you have there and thank you so much for the fly fishing lesson this morning.

i've got a copy sitting in front of me - it's the knot bible it's such a good shoelace knot isn't it! i got that from Ian Fieggen's site years ago - really good site with excellent illustrations for knots. https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm

yeah i combined the two i made and left it for ages - was lovely in the end, the longer it was left the better it tasted. Amazon do Kings Ginger 50cl bottles a lot cheaper than most... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kings-Ginger-Liqueurs-50/dp/B00439W5I4/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_2?adgrpid=53616280792&hvadid=259038810213&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006524&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t2&hvqmt=e&hvrand=6127682637539906087&hvtargid=aud-613701470069%3Akwd-296713273879&keywords=domaine+de+canton&qid=1554813001&s=gateway&sr=8-2-fkmrnull

So i sent back an email requesting a section 7 on Feb 12, damned if i'm paying £10 a rifle per month for storage. Got a call this morning from a FLO based up in Huntingtdon - went through the normal questions. He tried to get me to lower my ammo hold amounts as he said Cambs didn't like that much. I politely explained they'd already been granted by Herts and it makes sense when buying expanding heads. So he relented. No visit apparently. Granted renewal.

we used to have such a good firearms team but it's been decimated in the last couple of years - went from Herts to Herts & Beds, and now it's Herts, Beds & Cambs! 3 big counties with one tiny team.

thanks chaps

I've been waiting since before Christmas for my license to be renewed - so sent an email to the now merged 3 counties FAC dept saying i was worried i would be holding unlicensed firearms. License lapsed 26/01 - finally got an email today saying yes you have unlicensed - you need to place your firearms with a dealer, and you will be contacted in due course to review your application and suitability to renew. Am i right in thinking i can ask them to issue a Section 7 temporary license?

that is sad news, he was a nice guy

Common Speedwell, could be another Speedwell variety

very pleased with Airgun Doctor, feels like a different gun now. well priced and quick turnaround.

sent off to Airgun Doctor on Saturday

ok thanks will see if he accepts couriered air rifles.

My HW100 is around 12 years old now, seems like an internal seal has gone as it's leaking air, have replaced the filler bottle one to no avail. Does it have to go back to Hull Cartridge or is there a decent place to get it serviced anyone could recommend?

it must be - if it wasn't then they'd be the same blue trail in the reflection surely?

though it pains me to link to a Daily Mail post - Trusting Porton Down isn't something i'd do without question http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3190243/WMD-Britain-MoD-scientists-tested-chemical-weapons-including-anthrax-PLAGUE-soldiers-members-public-released-dangerous-bacteria-Tube.html

If proof of postage (and it was registered post) has been supplied then it's not unreasonable to wait until the 8th to make a claim.

Sorry for delay in replying - been crazy busy - yeah Volterra is as close fit as i can find. also check out Berlingske Serif Stencil Light

there's been a spate of sighting round here recently http://www.hertsad.co.uk/news/big-cat-spotted-crossing-road-in-st-albans-1-5128653 with the laughable sighting here... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4628034/Mystery-big-cat-St-Albans-caught-camera.html

i'm sure my Panther would happily be an everyday but i'd rather not. My next door neighbour drives his Triumph Dolomite to work every day.

she also made this rather nice Boar weather vane
