  1. There is certainly no shortage of .223 ammo but he is right about the shipping problems although I'm not entirely sure about the only two vans bit. Where are you? that's maybe the first thing to establish, it may have some bearing. More remote areas are suffering, no doubt about it. Then we can talk about strategies, and what other people are doing to get round it. Reloading is one answer but its not a short time fix.
  2. The danger is that Nigel will split the right wing vote and we end up with a hung parliament, other than that bring it on but not under UKIP banner. The trouble with UKIP was a lot of the candidates they fielded in the last election were plonkers not up to the job Farage needs to be Banquo's ghost to May's Macbeth, always just behind her, breathing down her neck
  3. Its not just shooting, last year I helped a disabled friend move his canal boat from one marina to another and along the way we saw several examples of where boat owners had dumped rubbish inappropriately in the bushes along the cut. My friend said you never would have seen it even a few years ago.
  4. That's what this Panorama is all about, softening up public opinion by creating the impression that street gangs are running around shooting each other with £4000 antique pistols You know as well as I do it will be a politically motivated distortion, so why let the truth get in the way?
  5. That's very interesting to watch, there are quite a lot of others on youtube and they are fascinating. One of the things you realise watching these videos is why the cartridge industry is so dependent on plastic wads. Fibre wads have to be hand fed into the hoppers, requiring the machines to be run much slower. thanks
  6. That's always been Labour's way. Part of the reason we find ourselves in the situation we do now with Benefits Britain was because politicians like Gordon Brown just piled one election bribe on top of another year on year. Then borrowing to pay for it. Labour lost the confidence of its core grassroots, the working class, years ago so has had to bribe the non working underclass, and flood the country with open door immigration, to get its votes
  7. Yes but 90% of the lorries that pass through the port of Dover are now not British. The EU has slowly strangled the British international haulage industry by its working practices. Its much harder for a British haulage truck to get one out and one back. The European trucks are on the road for weeks at a time, sometimes months and they will go anywhere. They go from London to Paris, then on to Spain and from there to Germany etc. The drivers live in the cabs. They get the jobs from their laptops, there are websites that literally auction the work, companies with loads they want delivering advertise them on the website and the haulage contractors bid for them on line. So where ever they end up they just search for another job starting from there or nearby. They don't care where its going because when they get to the other end they look again. Its a very efficient way to operate, if you are able to work for peanuts. Next time you are on a long motorway journey start looking at the trucks, a very high percentage will have Eastern European plates these days, that's why.
  8. I don't know about going to see a hypnotist to stop drinking but years ago that's how I stopped smoking and it was nothing short of amazing. Somebody mentioned sleep and that's another big misconception, the idea that a couple of drinks (or a late night supper) helps you sleep. That's not true, when you drink or eat you sleep much lighter and spend less time in the deepest form of good sleep.
  9. That was what we voted to do after all.
  10. I know that area quite well, my son lives just off the junction you mention and as Shooting Egg says there are plenty of green spaces that could funnel deer that close in As a side issue, I bet those people who lived in the Victorian houses along that route were well peed off when they built the elevated flyover right past their windows in the 60s
  11. Its a throw back to Roman times then, by the sound of it! This sort of stuff is hardly new
  12. Actually cars are often worth more as scrap than they are on the road. By the time every last bit is sold piece meal on ebay even quite a modest little car will fetch more than a grand and some times a lot more
  13. Stop their benefits, people who are on the treadmill of actually having to work to pay their bills in order to survive day to day don't have the time on their hands to get radicalised to the same extent.
  14. That's going to really stick in his throat, he's a very arrogant and self righteous man who doesn't do humility
  15. You did the right thing, there is a thing called the road of inevetablity, what that means is one event leads on to another unavoidably. Once you get depression things have to happen and this is a good example. You want to hear the b0llocking I got from my FEO for not telling him I was getting divorced. I haven't been spoken to like that since I was at school. Even though I had put my guns in store and informed them I was moving. He tried to make things as difficult as possible for a while. But he was just being difficult for the sake of it. I wasn't depressed I was the happiest I had been for years. I believe a great deal hinges on your FEO, I also believe that the greatest risk for a person with depression is to themselves, so no guns is actually safeguarding you.
  16. Not even that, maybe just an incredibly bad driver who had been driving round lost for hours because he couldn't read a map or a street sign. A sort of Sudanese version of Mr Bean
  17. That was Corbyn hoping to open a dialogue it now turns out
  18. No its still not clear at all
  19. My son sold his Focus to them, I don't know what he got but it was peanuts, when disposing of a company van privately I got a valuation off them out of interest and it was about half what I reckoned it was worth.
  20. There is nothing wrong with the old .22RF, it always used to be the definitive fox calibre but these days people are shooting them with .243s Have foxes got harder to kill? I don't like HMRs, a few years back in Arizona, I saw coyotes shot full on with HMRs run off into the desert wounded, the locals attitude was "it will still die, so no problem " that's not my way. The issue was explosive expansion and a surface wound against penetration and a kill.
  21. Driving back tonight about 10oclock listening to it on the news the story gets more bizarre, the police are "still treating it as a terrorist incident but they are keeping an open mind" I take that to mean he was not a terrorist but may have been some sort of fruitcake instead My bet is on fruitcake at the moment. Would a serious terrorist drive a ford Fiesta at a barrier designed to stop a full on lorry and do it when the place is empty?
