  1. My son has the dubious skill of being able to belch really loud on demand-when we get a call asking to speak to Mr **** i simply explain that he no longer lives here and that the new owner is a Mr Belcher and ask if they would like a word with him.My son knows the drill by now and when i hand him the phone he lets them have an almighty belch Childish,i know,but oh so funny.
  2. 170 bar should be about right-borrow a chrono and see how many shots you get b4 velocity by about 100fps-thats your effective shot count-keep that amount of pellets in seperate containers-old 35mm film cases lined with foam are ideal-recharge when each container becomes empty.
  3. I've started buying stuff from China-was a bit sceptical at first but i've not had any problems-I think that the price you see is what you pay but if you are unlucky and customs check your parcel then you have to pay any duty owing-read a web article on this and it appears that not many are checked.
  4. S200 is still one of the best pcp's ever built-the mnk1 is an ugly unwieldy looking beast until you mount a scope and put the gun to your shoulder-shot count is not brilliant but they tend to hold their zero so not much faffing around each time you take the gun out.If AA made a longer air cylinder to increase the shot count,or a reg,I think the gun would outsell all others in the price range-try one in .177 flavour and if you dont like it and you have the money buy the S410.
  5. I've heard that if you order bio-diesel as heating fuel then vat is charged at a lower rate?-brings price down to about £1/ltr-downside is you would need a tank.
  6. Pile of clap (as the chinese would say)-theres a whole world of far superior lead pellets out there at a fraction of the price.What caliber are you using?
  7. Airguns more effective than shotguns at range?-then you provide data relating to a single shotgun pellet?Shotguns are designed to hit moving targets and achieve this by firing a spread of shot-not a single pellet as does a puffgun.If you want more range on a shotgun simply increase your shot size-tighten up your choke or start smoking 3inch fun bundles.
  8. If accuracy ever drops off remove the barrel (easy) and check the o-ring at the muzzle-these support the tube.While you are there check that the small allen bolt just inside the barrel collar (again at the muzzle end)is tight.BTW-you can download the manual from the net-tells you all about the 3 slips for different pellets.
  9. We collect clubcard points when we fill up at Tesco's-over the year it pays for top of the range RAC cover and a new mobile-not bad for nowt.
  10. I dont understand what all the fuss is about-we might be incapable of defending ourselves against anyone more powerfull than the smurfs-we might even be facing financial meltdown that will make the great depression look like a girls tiff-we may,if we are lucky,be able to spend more years working before we can retire so that we can maintain the living standards of countless croatian pimps,but lets not forget,girls and boys,that on monday we can all stand and wave our union jacks at the olympic torch.
  11. Churchill was indeed a classic turncoat-I have read numerous books about him and I firmly believe that he lied to the british public-he knew,for example,that the German army had very little chance of invading our shores.As for bombing civilians-this became policy initially as a means of breaking moral but only if more important targets were unavailable.The idea was that men with no homes or basic ammenities were less likely to spend their days building weapons.As for justification-Hitler didn't fight the war on his own,he needed the might of the German industries and the will of its people-the people of Dresden were happy to celebrate the Reichs advance into Poland and its initial slaughter of millions of Russian civillians-they could not excuse themselves from the war when the tables were turned just because they lived in a historic city.Blaming Harris was one of our countries dirtiest deeds and if we didn't learn to behave with more honour and respect after 6 years of killing then that was our greatest crime.
  12. Ordnance-A more accurate estimate of casualties in the Dreseden raids(s) would be 18000-certainly no more than 25000.Harris had little choice but to bomb the city following pressure from Churchill who,in turn, was paving an agreed path for Stalins red army-if you really want to play Top Trumps against a Bomber Command card you only need the Holocaust card to smash it into oblivion. The men and women of B.C. and its leaders are beyond reproach and their methods are not ours to condemn-we sit here now and exercise our rights to question because of the decisions and sacrifices that they made-I,for one,will honour the debt that is owed them while I still live the life that 56000 men fought and died for.
  13. Heads up-the Queen will unveil a (privately funded) memorial to the men and women (56000) who lost their lives fighting with Bomber Command during the war.The memorial has cost about 7.5 million and will stand in Green Park from the 28th of June.In my humble opinion any royalty or members of parliament who attend will be guilty of insulting the dead-the freedom that they died for has been given away whilst the RAF is raped by each successive government. To those who lost their lives I give you my sincerest thanks,but,as part of this once great nation,I am ashamed that this memorial has taken so long.
  14. I,m running power down to a log cabin-gonna need 3 double sockets to power t.v's and such like but also need enough to power an oil filled radiator in the winter-does anyone know what cable i need (armoured? )to run down the garden(about 12 meters)
  15. £30 for calling you a liar?-I would take advice m8-tell them you are considering an offer from one of the national papers for the story.
  16. Thunderbird-hate to rain on your parade but will you give us an update in a years time? Methinks your opinion may have changed by then (along with the quality/choice)-these schemes start off well to get numbers interested.
  17. I am still gobsmacked at the amount of shooters who never consider the little 200 when they choose a hunting rifle-with the exception of a large shot capacity the gun is near perfect in every way-why AA dont increase the cylinder diameter and fit a reg I will never know-reckon the gun would be as near perfect as possible.
  18. Will a different silencer make the rabbit more dead?Besides-the sound of the pellet strike is the biggest problem-I might try a little piece of felt stuck to the nasty side of the pellet (only joking)
  19. My 400 has the AA version stuck on the business end-seems whisper quiet to me.
  20. My S400 is identical-there's an awful lot of deceased vermin out there that didn't know it was not suitable for hunting :unsure:
  21. My apologies SNS-your post did seem to rather point to you being a total novice-the humour was not so obvious to me.My intention was not to belittle you or your efforts but simply to suggest that if you were as inexperienced as you were indicating you might be wiser to gain more experience before shooting live quarry-a harmless enough comment,I thought,and I made no derogatory remarks whatsoever regarding your mentor-nor would I consider doing so without knowing him.BTW-took 2 total novices out last Sunday and will be shadowing another newbie using my rifle next Sunday-I only get every other Sunday to shoot so I seem to be doing my bit
  22. Browning425clayhunter-is your post directed at me?-try reading "help required bicester oxford area" in general shooting matters-last post on the 19th May.Flynny-I am amazed at your ability to determine someones personality without knowing the remotest thing about them-and to do so whilst running so fast to jump on the bandwagon is indeed worthy of praise.Opinions vary but I presumed we are able to air our own to encourage debate,if you dont agree with someone then spend more time saying why and less time hurling abuse.
  23. Is it wise,I wonder,to let such an inexperienced shot loose on any live target?-not having a pop by any means but if I was faced with someone who wasn't confident/able to kill reasonably consistently on my land I think I would suggest they gain a little more skill and return at a later date. :unsure: :unsure:
  24. Okay so i'm ready to be laughed at but.....about 10 years ago I was off work with a long term illness (renal failure)and spent a lot of time just mooching about the town.Graveyards have always interested me and one day,whilst walking idly through our local one,I came across the grave of an 11 year old girl who died in 1811(I am not going to put her name in print again as long as I live). Having a daughter of the same age I came to wonder how she had died and,to cut a long story short,I became a trifle obsessed with her story (but never found out how she died)and I wrote her a poem which I placed on her grave after which the fascination passed and she was forgotten. About 2 years later odd things started happening around the house as we were doing various large DIY projects,I will refrain from listing them all but the situation finally came to a head when a book was thrown at us from the opposite side of the room.The following day,after some careful thought,I contacted our local vicar(expecting to be laughed at)and was somewhat surprised to learn that the church has a group of specialists who deal with such problems! A week later said chap arrived and asked if he could spend some time in our house alone.Less than 5 minutes later he called us inside and informed us that there was a spirit of a young girl in our house and that he would bless each room and ask her to leave.With this done he simply asked us to contact him if any further problems arose and he would invite more senior clergy to help us. Until these events I was the worlds greatest sceptic - I never even put 2 and 2 together regarding the deceased girl until much later.As for the op's question-yes-I saw her on 3 occasions and wasn't scared at all-just surprised each time.
  25. My mate used to put a couple of bars of laxative chocolate on the roof of his car just before he drove into the monkey enclosure-payback for them ripping his vinyl roof. :look:
