  1. Out of interest, can a business post an Airgun back direct or does it have to be via your local RFD?
  2. "It will be interesting to see how many of these Turkish guns are still around in 10/20/30 + years time" - didn't everybody say the same about Japanese Motorcycles? I've got a KOFS and I'm well chuffed with it - also heard many rumours that some Italian guns are made partly in Turkey.
  3. I would say some kind of cherry plum.

    Dyslexia

    Any queries regarding Dyslexia should be reported to the DNA - National Dyslexics Society.
  5. Agreed - just a wind up - pretty much anything with Honda written on it is going to be reliable. Friend of mine buys new BMW bikes every 2 years (£16,500 this year) and then rides them all over Europe on holidays or with an owners group, it has loads of different modes on it i.e. Rain Mode etc but it's still just a twin in a posh frock to my mind.
  6. It's a BM - they all do that as standard, it's a little extra gift from Germany that you don't get from other makers - easily fixed by simply buying a Ducati.
  7. I received a letter about 3 weeks ago from TVP informing me that, as my renewal was due during a typically busy period, would I consider applying for a renewal now - 2 years in advance.
  8. Just found this in our local Waitrose - KETJAP MANIS - sweet aromatic soy, OMG it's good - as a dipping sauce the flavour is amazing.
  9. Had the same issue with a car. If you bought it blind i.e. bought over the internet without seeing the bike in the flash then you are covered by the distance selling regs. If you viewed the bike previously then, from what I recall, you must give them the opportunity to repair the bike - how and who does the job is up to them. Most likely a simple fuelling problem - not a bike that floats my boat personally - straight four in an enduro type chassis? I've had several BM's and the flying brick was the least reliable. Of course if it's brand new then it is clearly not fit for purpose and you can tell them to take it back - if it's less than 30 days old I believe you simply reject the bike.
  10. I stand corrected Old Boggy, although, in my defence, Shooting UK website states Sabatti for the Highlander.
  11. Lincoln premier is £900 new - that's nearly 40% higher than the KOFS - Lincoln guns are made by Rizzini AFAIK - the gun that the OP is looking at has lost around 50% of it's new price - lets try picking up a KOFS for under £250 in a similar spec, I think you will find very little difference in depreciation.
  12. People who knock working at Tesco have, most likely, never done it. Two of my daughters worked there, part time, and the benefits can be quite rewarding - unless it has changed they can buy anything as it goes out of date for a penny - our freezer was brimming with Beef and Lamb joints.
  13. Another vote for the KOFS - super little gun, light as a feather - I use 23g no6 Hull High Pheasant in mine, recoil is barely noticeable and it seems to do the job on pigeons at 35 yards if you do your bit. If you did decide to buy one of the Turkish offerings avoid buying blind as some have awful stocks while others are very good. Weight is a gnats lunch box over 6lbs.

    Gout again.

    Allopurinol is the normal drug prescribed but it can make the gout a little worse when you first start taking it - I take one every other day and it works a treat.
  15. Visited their brewery a few years ago - came away feeling ripped off - the tour was garbage and the price of T Shirts etc was extortionate - never touched their Ales again.
  16. What shot size are those 2 yellow bent cartridges in your bag?
  17. Fairly often then Mice! - cannot understand why manufacturers like BSA, who must surely realise that their reputation is on the line, don't jump on this problem as soon as it arose - any niggling doubt that exists over a gun is bound to affect sales. Mind you - without our Spanish amigo's BSA would be but a memory by now, such a shame when you consider some of the great guns they have produced over the years - cannot help but think that a modern Cadet, made to the same original standards (i.e. No plastic parts) fitted with a scope rail would sell.
  18. You've PX'ed it against an Air Arms?
  19. As enfieldspares has said - also the German's knew all about the BPD before the War started - it was displayed for all to see. Might have helped a little if the guunner had some means of escape. I have done some research on this A/C as a lad from our village was killed in one whilst testing a demisting system - he had finished his tour of duty on Hurricanes and was posted to Cranwell (I think) as a screened pilot. Testing the BPD according to eye witnesses, one of the wings snapped off - both were killed, his father was the Air Commodore Horace Gordon Dean.
  20. Am I missing something? Why not just try a Torx first if you think that may be the correct tool - it will either fit or it wont - you will feel if it does and besides many Torx drivers will undo Allen headed bolts - remove the bolt and replace it with a good quality item.
  21. A record belonging surely to 303 SQ (Polish) with 14 confirmed kills in one day?
  22. With respect Saddler, the Defiant was a pile of junk that should never have seen service.
  23. The Aldi one used to be superb but I found, about 2 years ago, that the quality plummeted and they were rubbish - maybe they have sorted the issue out.
  24. My daughters first insurance was £1k give or take a few pence - obviously no insurance whilst learning as she went via a driving instructor, she had 7 lessons so £350. Her second year is just over £600 which I didn't think was too bad as she's only 19 and no black box or anything.
