Over here Pets falls under the Castle doctrine in most states. Meaning you can use deadly force to protect. You can also actively presue and use deadly force to retrieve them which separates them from property. Someone steals a TV you can’t track them across town and shoot them. But pets you can as you can a kidnapped child.
You can use deadly force to protect property own your on land but you can’t go to his house and kick the thieves door in. Pets you can if you suspect they are in immediate danger.
Sounds good to me !!!!

Seen it on morning TV but imho
Nothing will change the police forces don't have the man power or the funding to investigate it in depth. The govt are just making noises .....
But I would love to be proved wrong

it’s recognised that dogs can sense seizures and fits in humans before they happen
Yep Jess would jump up on sofa and lie with her head on the wife's lap about 2-3 mins before she had a fit and not move until she came out of it also if I wasn't in the room she'd bark to get my attention ... All of her own accord no training in any way
I've got a video of the pup running round our sitting room but can't upload it so if any kind person has WhatsApp and would upload it let me know ( pm me your number).
It's KC reg microchipped vet checked and had 1st jab

Cockers can be a bit of a challenge 🤭
however go for it as your obviously the boss
or
the wet sack trick works ever time
Lol I'd just go and buy it now if it wouldn't cause her problems with her epilepsy . Stress and arguments trigger them off so I have to work very diplomatically around things .
I have however got the seeds planted as today she said " if we were to get another I'd prefer a spaniel over a labrador either a Springer or cocker"
So time will tell hopefully

Well I'm thinking that my may be losing my marbles .
But can some of you intelligent folk give me some guidance PLEASE.......
It's 2.5yrs since I lost Jess unexpectedly .
She was Springer X gwp and was the First gundog I've had and easiest dog I had ever trained ..
Now the interesting bit
Yesterday I got offered a cracking little dog cocker honey & white
My Mrs is still saying no but I'm well on the way to having another .
So I'm wondering how much harder they are to train .
If anyone has WhatsApp and knows how to upload videos I can send a video of it running around our sitting room ....
Oh and any ideas on how I can convince the boss on getting him
Thanks

Thanks for all the replies, I'll take the ball off and have a proper look.
It's always soft when it doesn't start, becomes hard in two or three pumps then fires up immediately.
Definitely sounds like you've got a bad seal somewhere that's allowing drain back check the leak off pipes between the injectors ( if it's got them) they are prone to going hard and cracking allowing air in over time
-
Is the primer pump the rubber bulb type that you squeeze and let go ect ? Is it soft and playable or hard to squeeze . If it hard I'd say by experience ( more than a few times) that's your trouble as the rubber hardens it becomes porous it doesn't leak fuel but does allow the fuel to drain back over night

Thank you sir!
Apologies for the stupid Q but how do you use it for best effects

Just found 4 feeder springs in shed will swap for an opinel knife or W.H.Y ( may be more if I find them)
I know they haven't got much monetry value but some one might want them .
I'll cover postage of springs you cover post your end ...

using copper was my next venture...and then bronze......but i found it difficult to find bronze plate the right size and thickness.....or phosphor bronze...........when i get moved (soon now)....i will start again and try different bone/antler /horn....etc.............really like the idea and look of the horn you did....i wonder how it would take chequering ?
I've got a mate that owns an old fashioned scrap yard and I just go see him and have a rummage .
That's where I got the 13mm ally plate that I used.
Hopefully he'll have some copper buzz bar lying around

Sounds very complicated and a minefield.
OB
Oh yes .
When I was testing I can remember asking the vosa man who used to turn up unannounced to watch us test a question on a problem I had with a vehicle and the reply I got was " well that's a bit of a grey area and is down to tester's descresion " . Instead of them just saying this is a pass and this is a fail . And having it in black and white .
What I asked about was a transit
The guy rang and said can I book a class 7 test so I booked it in . At the given time a swb single wheel transit with no side loading door turns up . I said to him that's not a class 7 mate it's only a class 4 he says I've had it to another station and they say is a class 7 ... Now after testing for many years you know what is and isn't a class 7 .
I start to take vehicle details
Reg number
Go to passenger side door step for vin plate I write the chassis number down and the gvw which was 3500kg making it a class 7
Something was still not sitting right with me as I'd never seen a single wheel swb transit as a 7 .
So I go to driver's side door where the vin number is stamped into the step .... AHH right . The chassis number on the vin plate and the one stamped into the step were completely different. Looking closer at the vin plate I could see the pop rivets holding it on were too big .
On pointing out to him that the numbers should be identical and there was a problem he jumped in and drove off.
The trick they try to pull is put the reg number plates and vin plate off a knackered class 7 pick up or van onto s good vehicle to get a pass cert then swap back onto the knackered vehicle therefore gaining a full test on a pile of poop ( yes u guessed it he was a *****) they were camped a mile or so away and I passed the camp and seen the van parked up latter on that day
-
**** !!!! What a cracking guy he was . I shot with him a few times and had a few brews at his house if I was down that way ..
R.i.P Mike I'll miss our chats on the phone ....
I knew he was really I'll but that has still taken the wind out my sails

My Mrs says yes please can I have a bottle of ORGASM sales assistant replied I wish they sold it pet I'd have the biggest bottle they sold . I was peeing myself .
My Mrs took a wee while to fathom out why

4.5.1 states vehicles after 1st March 2018 regards fog lamps to be checked. My 21 year old RAV4 is therefore exempt (I think). Thanks for the link though.
OB
It also says 1980 onwards vehicles must have 1 working lamp in center or offside ...
So it all depends on when vehicle was registered .....
There are lots of cut off dates for different class vehicles it's a mare trying to remember them
I used to test Cass 1 2 3 4 5 & 7
I can't remember how many times a day I had to check the tester's Bible to see what dates / rules applied to

how did you attatch the pommel ?
Edited 10 hours ago by ditchman
I sort of copied you ...
With the ally being 13mm thick I drilled 2 holes about 10mm deep and tapped a thread into them screwed machine screws into them with locktite then put white paint on the ends of them lined it up with the end of the horn and marked it drilled slightly bigger holes in horn tapped them then filled with epoxy and coated the horn end and clamped until set

I had the same problem with cutting the slot. In the end the only way was to do it by hand and eye with a Dremmel and cutting disc.
Lovely job though and something to be proud of. Well done.
Firstly I used a 1mm thick cutting disc on my angle grinder but struggled getting the blade to close I ended up using a carbide cutting / reaming attachment in my dremmel but that also opened the width of the slot .
I think it was mainly down to the curvature ot the horn making getting an even depth a bit harder.ll

Also can confirm that the fog lights don`t form part of the MOT as one of mine faces skywards after driving over rape stubble and still passed
They do mate ... Only the one on the driver's side must be working . And it must be a certain distance to the right of the centre of the vehicle.
