The heads are never in very good condition on the ones that try to rob my veg plot, amazing what a 22 pellet does to them when they wander in range of my bedroom window. Can't use the 410 on them as the missus complains the noise wakes her up.

I used to breed and train Rotties. They are powerful and headstrong dogs, that MUST do as they are told, shouting, scolding etc does nothing for them whatsoever. You have to get their attention and bring them under control immediately they step out of line, otherwise with todays DDA, you can condemn them to death. I have tried the Roger Mugford collars that squirt compressed air up their noses, electric collars (which I hate with a passion, and the dog just shrugs them off anyway) - until I found that a good rap got the attention I needed. It wasn't over the top, cruel or brutal, just an attention getter that made the dog realise he had to listen and tune into my voice perminently. Worked for me - and the dogs, who knew when they had crossed the line.....

Yes you do - my pocket was extremely light after being road fuel tested - you get done for road fuel tax and VAT evasion if you havent prepaid your tax - and 2500L would only last me 4 months at best.

I drive 220 miles back & forth to work every day in my Transit Connect. With Tesco fuel, my low level light comes on at 410 miles amd with BP or Morrisons, I get a regular 425 before the light come on (thats my average taken over 4 years of daily commutes) It works out that over a tank full of fuel I save nothing in money terms by paying the extra pence per litre. Just to add to the Tesco vfm - I also get points on my fuel, which means that every quarter I get around 4500 points or roughly £40 in vouchers, which I then can double up at Tesco's and get £80 of goods free, as a bonus. As for running rough on various fuels, my diesel vehicles have run on everything from AVTUR, Chip Oil, Bio Diesel etc and you would never know the diference. I do only run on genuine fuel now though (Internet Spys take note) the fine I paid when I got roadside checked one time really makes paying £1:25 per litre quite a bargain.................

Weschenfelder do a good range. If its only occasional use then buy the mincer with the sausage nozzles. Its around £85 if I recall correctly. The mincer will always be used even if you upgrade to a large stuffer as I did. Its a high grade item, parts always obtainable should you even need, and as a bonus Weschenfelder are great for sausage making or equipment advice on the phone. Buy a cheap lidl job and its no parts and no help on the phone if you ever need

My wife and I have been a few times now - a great, if slightly eccentric coach. My only comment is that he does cram a lot in - to the point that after my first couple of visits I was thoroughly confused by the overall content of a days coaching and couldnt hit a thing. With Carl, you have to be very strict and dont let him steer the content too much. If its just crossers that you want to do then just make him stick to crossers, otherwise you will find yourself very quickly doing rabbits, teal etc and not sticking to what you want to do. Has he cleaned up that caravan yet ??

If it shoots OK on Skeet then it will shoot oK on DTL. Sound like a "you" problem, changing stance, mount position etc. Have you tried shooting on a plate to see exactly where your shot is going?

Piece of plywood - cut a hole through same diameter as bottle with a litle to spare. Cut piece of wood in half. Stand pieces of wood upright and lay in the bottle. It aint goin anywhere. When finished - wood lays flat and stores in boot out of the way, Job done.

Are you planning on starting a war?? Heck if you need to quick change and shoot off that many you have a real problem with either your aim or infestation. After the first couple of shots whatever you are shooting at has either turned its toes up or is jumping up and down laughing at you - but whatever it is, its not going to hang around while you throw 30 shots at it - sorry 40, as you bought 3 SPARE magazines.

I have an AA MPR which has a muzzle break (or did have). The muzzle break is a waste of space so I cut it off and bought a straight moderator adapter from Best Fittings. Works perfectly- never loosened.

Your dive shop is wrong - what they mean is do not oil anything that is used for breathing air unless you use the correct lubricant. Breathing air that is contaminated with ordinary oil will mess up your lungs big time - you will going for the "big sleep" a lot earlier than you planned. Hower, WD40 is not an oil, never has been and never will be classed as such - but still dont use it as it screws up seals, neoprene or PTFE. Dave

Welcome - Kibworth is a bit of a drive - when you get sorted join us at Fillongley for some Sunday Morning fun

Travelling with guns on a train - yes to can subject to the usual common sense, broken down, trigger lock, certificate, no cartridges with the gun, and not in a gun slip where everyone can see what it is, etc. Getting your bags searched - why and by who? If you tell the world you are carrying then you leave yourself wide open. Keep your own council and who is to know your business? Getting your bags nicked - if you keep telling people that you need to keep hold of, or sit near, because you have valuables in the bag then you may as well put a flag on your hat saying "rob me".

Yes it can. Thats why there is a limit on how long you can keep some meats. The bacteria growth is slowed down - not stopped. ......and 15 years before someone saw they has some birds at the bottom of a freezer, then ate them - definately a shaggy dog story, or they need a serious lesson in freezer hygene.

Had mine done around 3 years ago by JE Engineering in Coventry. Had my ECU and injectors done plus they polished the ports as well. It improved my fuel consumption and acceleration quite a bit on standard but the Disco is still a slow old beast. A long stroke diesel, trying to push two tons of metal from a standing start is not going to match any normal car, but when it gets up to speed the torque is going to shove the thing up a vertical cliff face. Just one thing I would check before you spend lots of money, the waste gate on the turbo seizes up regularly, you wouldn't normally notice too much, but have a look because that will shave some time off your acceleration.
