  1. I am in favour in principle but worry about it being enforced insensitively by over enthusiastic medical staff. For example, if a person dies in tragic circumstances it is usual for the family to be given time and a place to sit with then and say their goodbyes. This is in conflict with the need to take organs as quickly as possible. Its one of the reasons there is a shortage of donors
  2. They often want to charge you disproportionately high shipping charges and import duties imposed at this end can be a bit random.
  3. A lot of dry lubes and magic coatings were tried back in the pistol days but traditional lube methods have never been bettered IMO
  4. These sort of things happened on a fairly regular basis when I worked in upstate New York for a while. Rednecks love guns and booze -togeather! They get boozed up then want to go shooting at things in the woods. I would imagine a lot of otherwise inexplicable shooting accidents over there are booze induced. People lose their sense of danger
  5. Are the German and French car manufacturers really going to sit back and really accept no deal? When they know the Japanese, Korean and American car manufacturers are just itching to steal their market share? Barnier is playing a very egotistical game. I don't think he even understands the implications
  6. That was certainly true of a bee keeper friend near me who had to give up when he suddenly started developing a serious reaction to bee stings after 25 years without a problem
  7. That's like America, restaurants shops etc usually have more parking than they could ever possibly need. But they have so much space out there
  8. One small problem in the London Boroughs is they are building flats everywhere with virtually no parking. I can see their logic, parking spaces take up space that could be more profitably used to cram in a few more flats. They justify it by saying the sort of people they are targeting the flats for are not likely to own cars but that's a blatent cop out. Its going to lead to parking wars and in the flats already occupied that is the very much happening already.
  9. Are you sure you are talking about alox? that's bullet lube
  10. Why do we need to build houses to provide homes for people we don't need in the first place? There is a much simpler solution
  11. A lot of clay clubs now insist you have a SGC before you can even turn up to have a go, which seems rather damaging to the future of the sport IMO
  12. Punishment sounds pretty much OK to me, of course prevention would be more desirable, but at the moment we have neither. Yes I'm OK with punishment
  13. It rather depends how many cases you are sizing at a time. I often do hundreds at a time when (if?) I get motivated so I use RCBS and a pad. Its just about the world's most tedious job so I like to blitz it
  14. Yes I know, its unfair but they never miss a trick as you say
  15. no it shouldn't, but your insurance record will be most likely blighted by the question "any accidents or convictions in past x years?" Because you will have to declare it even though it wasn't your fault
  16. When something is clearly not working the obvious thing to do is to consider changing the approach? no? am I missing something?
  17. Ruger's own BX Trigger, it just drops in
  18. Since Britain is one of the most densely populated pieces of ground on the planet the cause of the problem is self evident. We don't have a housing shortage we have a population surplus. That's not contentious, that's a fact
  19. The point is, why would anyone work if they can get more money by not working? Even better if you can get a cash in hand job on the side as well. The system not only allows it, it encourages it and the authorities turn a blind eye. The people who's job it is to investigate the abuses just shut their eyes, put their fingers in their ears and go "La La La". then they can say haven't seen anything, haven't heard anything. THATS the real problem
  20. That was 18 months ago Joe is a very good friend of mine, its good to see he has overcome his problems, against all odds really
  21. Absolutely right, his role is supposed to be totally apolitical. The fact that he made statements before the referendum should have got him sacked
  22. No indeed its not. Hundreds of small growers in Cornwall who grew salad items under glass for years were made bankrupt by the EU Common agricultural policy and dumping of surpluses by Spanish farmers in the UK. A lot of those smallholdings are just standing idle today. I travel by train regularly, once a week sometimes, to either Bristol or Cardiff. On the journey you pass thousands and thousands of acres of land that just appear to be unused. I don't know why, I would love to know the answer. It troubles me every time. Two years ago, well up into the Scottish Highlands where my cousin and her husband live on the side of a god forsaken hill in what they call a Croft and I call a Hovel, I asked the question, "where are all the sheep? " "no sheep now, they can't sell the wool and the cost of feeding them through the winter is higher than they fetch at auction in the spring" Well, bring the sheep down in the winter off the hills, and put them on the empty fields alongside the railway out to Bristol, from London you only have to put an extra truck on the back of an existing train. Lack of joined up thinking, that's our problem.
  23. Take it to your local auction house for an initial valuation, which may or may not be much good depending on the experience of the valuer. and/or send photo via email to the curator of the RAF Museum at Hendon and ask what he thinks you should do with it . This needs to go into a specialist militaria auction, Bonningtons or similar, not a country sale Send them an email with picture as well. It costs nothing to ask
