  1. Some friends of mine had a photo booth at their wedding reception, like the ones you have your passport pictures taken in... It comes with a few fancy dress outfits, hats, wigs, novelty glasses etc for your guests to dress up for the photos. It's was so much fun, most of the guests were drunk obviously, and cramming in to the small booth - everyone really enjoyed it, and the bride and groom were left with hundreds of fantastic photos! It was about £500 to hire, with the printing of all the photos (as many as you like) included in the price.

  3. If you go to the Clinique counter at your local department store they'll test your skin and give you a 3 step skincare system that's perfect for your skin type and will help you to maintain your youthful looks. You'll also be given some make-up samples as a free gift.
  4. Dunno, just the whole thing really. There were all sorts of complications and I lost four litres of blood, luckily I'd insisted on a planned c-section after reading that wrinkly dog tattoo thread on Pigeon Watch a while back, because if I'd had a natural birth I'd probably have died... It was all the after stuff that was painful, big blood transfusion, drips and needles and tubes and stuff... It took me two hours to get out of bed for the first time a few days after the birth because the pain was so unbearable. Horrible! Now I've developed a fear of hospitals, needles and pain, which is unfortunate as I may need to have another operation, plus I have to have a blood test tomorrow. I've never experienced the whole 'pushing' bit... But judging by all the screaming I heard when being wheeled through the labour ward, that part's not too pleasant either. I just feel so sorry for any woman who ever gets pregnant. Except it's totally worth it.
  5. I'm never doing that again. It really hurt.
  6. Yeh, and you need to get Lee back on it too!!

  10. I agree with Cranfield on this one - the more submissions sent against restrictions on firearms the better, no matter how much detail they go into. Indeed the shorter the submission the more likely it is to be read. If you want to go into detail, perhaps just bullet-point the reasons why you believe that further restrictions should not be imposed, this will get your point across much quicker than writing a lengthy submission. We're all against further restrictions for the same reasons (more or less) so they don't need to read the same arguments from every one of us. What's important here is that everyone who is affected by this actually makes their submission - we can assume that the antis will all be making theirs too, so we need to ensure that theirs do not outnumber the submissions made by shooters - it's as simple as that. Everyone employed in the shooting industry has been asked to make a submission, I've done mine and will be making sure that all of my colleagues and our customers do the same.
  11. Yeh, the KP club is an excellent venue, lovely food and stunning views.
  12. He was nominated for Sports Personality of the Year last year, however shooting sports don't enjoy as much press/tv coverage as other sports so he was overlooked...
  13. 19th July 2010 GEORGE ACHIEVES WORLD TITLE GOAL George achieved his goal of becoming the first sportsman to win a world title in four different decades by claiming gold at the Italian Grand Prix in Laterina, Arezzo on the weekend of 17th/18th July. George shot an astonishing 197/200 total over the three-day tournament, beating fellow Brit Ben Husthwaite (195/200) into second and American Anthony Matarese (192/200) into third. He has now won a world title in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s, and he left Italy happy at having achieved the ambition he has worked towards for so long. "My long-term goal has always been to try and win a World Championship in four different decades," he explained. "I've had that goal for the last 2-3 years, along with trying to maintain my position within the sport and being competitive at a world level - which I've managed to do. "Obviously the new decade started this year, and I wanted to win one more world title so I've earned the enviable achievement in sport of having won the world championship as a senior in four different decades. Now I've done that, I'm very happy." Despite his amazing achievement George remains modest, insisting that serendipity played a part in the fine form he showed in Italy, where he shot a perfect 100/100 over the first two days. Well done George!
  14. No, none of the information in the Gamebore leaflet is false. If you look at the leaflet closely, Gamebore do in fact say that there have been some cases of gun barrel damage caused by large Steel shot in the past. These were decades ago when the research and development of Steel shot was still in its early stages in the USA. (Things have moved on considerably since then) Obviously Steel is harder than Lead, and if it comes into direct contact with the gun barrel then there is likely to be some damage, therefore if you prevent the Steel shot from coming into direct contact with the barrel this will ensure that no damage occurs - hence the introduction of the high density plastic wads used in Gamebores Steel shot loads. The leaflet actually states that: ''Early Steel loads in the US initially caused problems with gun damage as large shot was used without special high density plastic wads to protect the barrel, however Gamebore have sold over ONE HUNDRED MILLION rounds of Steel shot cartridges world wide with no reports of gun barrel damage.'' So to clarify, Gamebore are simply saying that out of the 100,000,000+ Steel loads manufactured and sold by them, there has not been a single report of gun barrel damage - Gamebore are not saying that there have never been any cases of guns damaged by the use of Steel shot manufactured by anyone ever in the history of Steel shot use.
  15. Although they were made for the US market, they are also available in the UK and have been loaded to CIP regulations.
  16. Had a lovely week in Nissi Beach, Cyprus with my entire family in May, and going to France for a couple of weeks with my little boy at the end of the month to visit my parents who have promised me a couple of weeks of total relaxation before I come back home to give birth in August.
  17. Lol... Exactly what I was just thinking!
  18. That's really kind, thanks. It's a difficult one because I'd hate for the children not to see their father, plus I'd never prevent him from seeing his children just because he wasn't contributing financially 'cos then I'd feel like I was doing it purely out of spite. The truth is that I can manage without him, and obviously I'll make sure that the kids never go without anything they need - but it won't be easy. I know he's a complete tool, but my son adores him, so I could never stop them from spending time together. My friends keep saying how my son will eventually grow to see exactly what his Dad is like, and how **** he was etc like it's a good thing that he'll grow up to hate his Dad for not contributing or whatever - but I want my children to be able to respect their Dad when they're older. (Obviously this depends on how he behaves in the future, he could surprise us all and turn out to be a great father, but I'm not holding my breath) I just don't want to be the one who stands in the way of him having a great relationship with his kids, and I'll do anything to encourage/help him - in fact I've had to give him money recently to take our son swimming because apparently he's skint despite having a huge disposable income now he's living at his parents house. I just want everything to go as smoothly as possible, and for the divorce to be quick and hopefully have no effect on our son and the new baby... If that means me just accepting that my ex is an idiot and biting my tongue, then so be it. I just hope that one day he realises what a douche he's been.
  19. I'm divorcing my husband at the moment, had a meeting with my solicitor about three weeks ago and she said that fathers generally pay 20% of their income for one child, this goes up to 25% for two children and so on, with deductions if the children spend more than 52 nights per year at the fathers house (I'm not sure what rate the amount goes down by depending on how many nights per week they spend at their fathers though) To me 25% seems a huge amount, and if my ex were to pay that he'd never be able to afford a place of his own (he's on a low income) and I dread to think of the type of place he'd end up living in if I took around a quarter of his income away, it's more important to me that he has a decent place for the kids to stay over, and some cash to spend on taking them out and about etc. I want to keep things as amicable as possible between us because our situation is a bit mental at the mo (I'll be having his baby in about 8 weeks!) and it's clear to me that involving the CSA would put an immediate end to the already fragile 'friendship' I'm trying to maintain with him, so I don't consider it an option... So as recommended by my solicitor I attempted to come to some sort of agreement with him without involving any third parties and was called a bitch purely for mentioning money. He explained how he doesn't see why he should be responsible for paying anything towards the childrens upbringing because he doesn't earn much, and that because he's now a 'single father' he'll be claiming benefits (I tried to explain to him that as the children will be living with me 5 or 6 nights a week he probably wouldn't be able to do this, but I don't think he believed me) So anyway, all I asked for was £15 per week - to be paid directly to our childminder towards the cost of childcare (I currently pay just over £100 per week, this will double when the new baby arrives) so it's not as if the money's going to me to spend on 'shoes and clothes for myself' which is what he seems to think... He refused for a while (even though he's living at his parents house rent free, and spends twice as much as that on weed every week) but suddenly came round to the idea after taking professional advice... But he's told me that he'll only pay it while he's living for free at his parents house and that as soon as he's got a place of his own he'll stop. It's been such hard work for me to try to get him to agree to the £15 per week that I can't even be bothered to try to discuss it with him anymore, as he thinks that because I earn more than him I should pay for everything myself... Still I dread to even think about involving the CSA, especially after reading this thread, despite all my friends and family etc telling me I should and that I shouldn't worry about making sure he has a decent place to live. Maybe I'll print off this thread and show it to him so he can see for himself how easy he has it. Our son is the coolest, most amazing little thing ever and it breaks my heart to know that his father prioritizes funding his drug habit over contributing towards anything for him.
