I buy whatever mince Aldi have when it's short dated and 30% off - straight in the freezer.

Try frying beef mince till it is popping (you need your pan hot) and all the fat has burned off - about half of it should be dark brown (caramelised) and when bits of meat start cracking and popping out of the pan it's about ready.This needs to be added to a prepared sauce already warming in the slow cooker - around 6 hours later the meat will have become tender again as it swells by reabsorbing liquid. To keep moisture in meat you normally "flash fry" it at high temp for a short time.

Both procedures you mention are fairly minor, if anything they should improve your shooting. Where heart issues are concerned any medical intervention is intended to prolong your life so more time to do the things you enjoy.

Very similar to mine indeed, I tend to avoid dry chilli flakes as they vary so much - a good handful of Scotch Bonnets are usually less than £2 and they freeze so easily, they also tend to spread the heat more evenly. One SB is usually enough in 500g of mince but 2 are palatable if you add lumps of butter to the rice and keep ketchup on standby!! Not tried Cranberry but I buy Mango Chutney in 1.5kg bottles for use in Madras so there's always a good supply. A good Chilli con carne is hard to beat and so easy to make far better than pre made sauces (although the Lidl version is pretty good for the price to be honest.

I love them, dead easy to spot and I love to keep them chatting for as long as they can stomach my apparent stupidity or deafness.

Looks very good, I always cook mince till it's popping and almost burnt (brings out the sweetness) then add the mince to the sauce is a slow cooker for 5-6 hours along with a couple of finely chopped Scotch Bonnet Chillies and a tblsp of Mango Chutney, the meat slowly absorbs the sauce and softens. The BBC good food recipe is very good with a few additions.

I would change my Vet, afaik there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that Turmeric has any medicinal properties at all. Glucosamine seems to work on my boys (both 10+) but it takes weeks to see any benefit.

No - that's the Air "Wolf" - this is the mechanical version, same gun but less hassle. Don't let this go on a whim or over £15 postage, these Rifles are utterly sublime and will put pellet on pellet until you get bored. If I had to pick a fault (and by God you need to look hard) it would be that they are totally dead upon firing - not sure if that is a fault though?

Air Ranger/Wolf are just about the best Rifles Daystate have ever built.

I agree with Stu + CO2 tend to make a nice crack when fired - kids love that.

Can it not be adjusted?

Thank God we still have a sense of humour.

Reform got more votes than the Lib Dems yet only get 4 seats compared to LD 68 - how can this be in a democratic society?

I think they will take eggs and chicks but are more opportunist than Crows that deliberately hunt them. We used to control numbers by shooting branchers but I lost the desire to do so many years ago. These days I tend to leave them alone unless they are causing a problem on drillings etc so maybe the answer varies from farm to farm depending upon crops etc.

My Dog walker friend used to walk a Whippet every day till ,sadly,cancer took the poor creature. He was such an amazing Dog, gentle as a Lamb but he would join in with all the activities that other Dogs are better known for - he would retrieve a ball or search long grass for a hidden treat. If you are lucky enough to find a similar Dog you will have something that will bring you nothing but pleasure.

As Mice says - don't attempt to clean Windows in the sun or just a hot day. When you do - get the right equipment, a decent mop, scraper and microfibre cloths along with a bottle of Ungers Liquid - you will be amazed how quick you can do a Window.

Outstanding!! What an absolutely amazing thing to do, publish pics and your story on every media site you can think of.

I'm afraid I'm a lazy baker, I use a bread maker so I doubt this would be viable.

That's interesting, what recipe did you use and did you need a yeast/bread improver?

OMG - I wasn't going to mention that, clearly recall unscrewing the Salt lid to get the lad at the top of the table but then the Headmaster moved him and took his place. Salt went all over his dinner but he just carried on as nothing had happened, did drink a lot of water though. 56 years ago 🤥.

Had one of these more years than I care to recall, sooooo much fun, good luck with the sale.

Without wishing to offend - if I was served those sausages in a cafe/restaurant I would send them back.

The Airgun Centre only offer the lifetime warranty to the original purchaser?

Shady stuff? You'll be telling me next that all senior officers get promoted weeks before they retire 😡.

Yes, but in 15 years I've never managed it.
