    Snow

    Two inches of snow and freezing hard in Towcester,may not be a rabbit stand on tomorrows clay shoot.......atb handy
  2. This is quite common with the Belgian folding 410's,as has been posted the entry will read 'NVN' and in the column under Makers name the entry will be 'Unknown',I have a .410 that has passed from my grandfather to my father and now to me,atb handy.
  3. Regards to Billy you should meet plenty of people there to point you in the right direction have fun atb handy
  4. Almost forgot Miss Rosalyn on Anglia TV's Romper Room,well worth a google! atb handy
  5. Beg to differ on that one Mike the seventies were far from ****,yes the hooliganism at football matches was nothing to be proud of but you could jack your job in and walk up the road to another,I suppose it would depend on where you were brought up but in Norfolk as a teenager it was pretty good,ran an old Anglia and a BSA Golden Flash on just over a tenner a week as an apprentice, beer was pennies a pint and 10 No.6 fags were less than 10p,happy days indeed atb handy
  6. From memory I'm pretty sure that the Haynes manual for 3.8 and 4.2 Jaguar E Types had a decent section on carb adjustment and balancing,if you're totally spannered out browsing through that with a glass of something could be time well spent,keep up the good work! atb handy
  7. The KN's are a lot less restrictive than the original airbox and paper element filters so will allow more air through giving you a weaker mixture,do you still have the old airboxes to put back and compare? Would suggest that the Ford pump is up to the job as you say it drives well on choke,if the pump was'nt up to it you would not get the delivery to provide enough fuel to run on choke. SU carbs are not difficult to set up but you need to find a mate with hands on experience its not something you can be talked through easily anyone whos played about with Jags or Rovers should be able to put you right atb handy
  8. Had nine weeks work in Norfolk last year third week in July to the end of September, would have cost a small fortune without the caravan and a fair bit of what we saved we invested in food and drink at Filby Kings Head and Stokesby Ferry,if any of you with a tent or van want some peace and quiet on a small site three miles out of Yarmouth White Gates Farm in Runham is well worth a visit and dogs are welcome atb handy
  9. Hi Terry Google 'Beretta Year Codes' and have a look on Sporting clays site,they have listed the year codes atb handy
  10. Well worth the trip from Towcester thanks to Super Sharp Shooter, Mrs SSS, Baker Boy and Gnome,looking forward to visiting you again atb handy
  11. Not far away from you here in Towcester, my local Sunday shoot seem more interested in stopping for a couple of glasses of wine than breaking clays so will be interesting to see who else is out there, as already mentioned on this thread SSS tells lies about puppies and sweeties atb handy
  12. Hi there standard fitment on our two 99 Freelanders is 215-65-16 H rated,my 3 door hard back has General Grabber AT2's which have plenty of grip but are a touch noisy on the road,the other half's 5 door station wagon has road tyres but still in the same size,these alloy rims are readily available from breakers,one point to mention is that the road tyre setup is much easier to manouver in carpark spaces atb handy
  13. Had a Parkray stove in a previous house and used black vitreous enamel up to the ceiling and Selkirk twin wall through the loft space,the heat from the vitreous single is amazing and in my opinion too good to waste,if the join is made just into the loft with a stainless steel plate and collar so as to protect the combustibles nearby it will look good and also be safe,because the kids were young at the time we had a stainless mesh gaurd made up that screwed to the wall and was clear of the pipe by about 3 inches on either side,this stopped anything brushing against the hot pipe atb handy
  14. Good call chap, my wife still suffers from a perforated eardrum which was a result of repeated beatings, better to run the risk of a separation rather than lasting harm atb handy
  15. I'm with PLH,stayed in the Navy and retired in 1996,one glimmer of sunshine though my pension for nine years service starts in eighteen months time the lump sum is going to come in useful.....
  16. Aluminium tent poles about 4 foot long with a socket one end and spigot the other,got eight of them from the tip and an aerosol can of matt black,job done for around a fiver!
  17. Samething with the wife about three weeks ago,someone had managed to get into her yahoo account and emailed several of her mates asking for 3000 euro to be sent to Madrid by Western Union,she uses a new laptop running Windows 7 so was a doddle to trace the logging in activity,after all the UK logins came the Nigerian ones,no doubt the UK taxpayer funded the program to teach the little darlings how to use a computer..... atb handy
  18. Same thing here a month or so ago the wife text to say that she had put her password into Yahoo 7 or 8 times before she was able to log in then after 10 minutes started to get loads of messages from Yahoo about account activity.Long story short the next day several of her friends phoned to see if she was ok as they had emails supposed to be from her asking for 3000 euro to be sent to Spain as she had been robbed and had her passport stolen,when I changed her password luckily I noticed another email address had been tagged on to the account so our friends in Nigeria were able to monitor the account after the password reset,sounds like you need to check your setting atb handy
  19. You need the help of Jack Russell, I would suggest a short legged variety if its rats under the shed, watching a terrier doing what they do best is time well spent atb handy
  20. Hi Seamus I'm three miles outside Towcester with an open ticket for 22rf,give me a pm if you need some help,be a lot quieter than a shotgun after dark atb handy

  22. Yes mate tucked behind TK Maxx Bells Woodyard is amongst the allotments in Cobholm,you will be lucky to find a more relaxed ground,if Billy's not about you put your money in the tin and load the traps yourself,nice that some people trust you to do the decent thing atb handy
  23. As long as it's daylight and you're paying Billy will be open,usually a decent crowd on a Sunday morning a lot of the lads from Belton used to go to every other Sunday,not been myself since moving from Norfolk atb handy.
