  1. Me too, I will be right at the front of the queue
  2. Donald is going to jail if he's not careful https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/11/08/trump-faces-battery-legal-cases-leaving-office/?li_source=LI&li_medium=li-recommendation-widget
  3. What is it you are hoping to clean out? There is no powder residue so cross that one off. There may be some leading but a felt pellet is not going to shift that. A .22 cleaning rod is not that expensive and a phospher bronze brush might be more use.
  4. There was a good doctor on TV this afternoon saying that intensive care units were for all people needing that level of care. Road accident victims, people with strokes, people who's operations didn;t go as planned because the reality it that happens. Once one covid patient enters the ward it goes on lockdown and all the others are excluded. Then the staff are trying to phone round to try and find a bed for the others and the evidence is those places are hard to find
  5. They always used to go to Carrowdore
  6. The brake fluid change is a classic rip off/con trick, thats if they even do it, most owners would never know if you watch any of these "ten top service centre rip offs" on youtube its always there fuel filter is another
  7. People living on the mainland can still get a variation on their FAC to own one as long as they are a member of a club in NI and keep it there. Your FAC is issued by where you live not where you shoot
  8. It seems unlikely to me that Trump would be highlighting the flaws in the postal voting system for weeks and then not encourage his supporters to exploit them them for his own ends. Given the sort of man he is. In AZ officials noticed that lots of Republican postal votes have been coming in all filled out by a sharpie pen so they flagged it up as suspicious
  9. Its easy to forget that in America each State is actually a separate autonomous country effectively. Or at least it was back in the day Also the electoral college system, which was put into place as a bit of a fudge initially, has glaring anomolies. Some states get twenty EC votes and another state gets three. So if a candidate wins by a single vote in say Florida he gets twenty electoral college votes. If his opponent wins by a million votes in Maine he only gets about three. So its heavily skewed towards not how many votes a candidate gets as much as where he gets them., Thats how Hillary Clinton got three million more votes than Trump in 2016 but still lost
  10. Its a fake story, observers are just that. They are not allowed to touch the ballot papers. And you had a complaint would you not make it to the person in charge of the count and not a news crew?
  11. https://theconversation.com/amp/wallabies-are-on-the-loose-in-britain-and-weve-mapped-95-sightings-148374?__twitter_impression=true
  12. Sweden has a much smaller population relative to its area. They are not a major international airline hub, They didn't go abroad for their winter sports in Feb because they have plenty at home. All factors why we can't be compared with them.
  13. I'm told, I have absolutely no personal experience to draw on, that people round the home counties get charged £100 a day to sit in hedge and hope a pigeon or two happens to fly by on the off chance. There are a lot of people (townies) who desperately want to go shooting but have nowhere to go.
  14. Its market forces There are many shooters, I know a few, who would happily pay that and not give it a second thought
  15. And what clay clubs you are a member of, that's commonly asked round these parts, i have been asked that years ago thin end of the wedge you are not going to put down robbing banks are you?
  16. Phone the council and ask for a receipt for the antlers you bought off the warden
  17. He's probably selling them to somebody
  18. Its Monday though, you cant trust Monday figures
  19. This is the trouble with the less popular calibres Have you tried Wiltshire Shooting Supplies in Devizes?
  20. If everybody could be trusted to stick rigidly to the rules we could go a lot further with saving the economy.
  21. I have never lived in India but when I lived in West Africa which I would imagine is much the same as India, When people died in the rural areas or the poorer parts of urban areas their death and cause of death would probably go unrecorded because there was nobody to record it I can't imagine the figures in the poorer countries of the world can be considered reliable
  22. We have to remember also that in the 1930s the British Communist Party were staunch supporters of Hitler and National Socialism, seeing them as kindred spirts with similar objectives. It was only when Hitler tried to invade Russia that the support melted away. Even so the British Communist objectives of seizing power by force "The Revolution" and putting the opposition against a wall and shooting them was still strongly ingrained in their aspirations in 50s and 60s. when Corbyn first started out
  23. When I lived in upstate NY absolutely everybody had two sets of wheels and tyres. About this time of year the winter tyres would go on but come the spring they couldn't get them off quickly enough. Their winter tyres were like nothing you see in the post above, they were really chunky.
