One more remark like that, TIGHTCHOKE, and you'll be getting an unexpected delivery of Carrot and Coriander Soup.

Received a food parcel (in error - has been cancelled and returned) but the contents were a little, er, surprising.To sustain one person for one week the supplied goods were - 1 Loaf stale bread/1 pack Pasta/ 1 Pack of (we assume) Rice that had spilt out in the box/1 Tin Chicken meatballs /1 Tin (tiny) Tuna /1 Tin Mandarin Segments /2 Tins Baked Beans / 3 Tins Carrot and Coriander Soup/ 5 pots of awful smelling Soap/ Bag of Porridge/1 ltr of UHT Milk/1 Bag Potatoes and 6 Apples.Ooops - forgot the Bog Roll. Now I'm beginning to think that Supermarkets are using this scheme as a way of off loading all the carp that they cannot sell and wondering how, say an OAP, is going to make a meal from this list?

10 minute job even if you were a complete eeejit.

If you toast the bun the whole affair gets a bit better - microwave the burger minus 10 seconds then put the sauce on it and blast for another 10 before shoving it in the bun, add salad and it's just about edible.

Never seen/heard of Crows attacking Calves - sickly Lambs yes but not cattle.

There was a batch of rifles back in 2016 that had a tendency to snap the upper sear - it's a simple enough job to open up the trigger unit on these and the fault will be apparent - if it is the sear then replacements are around the £15 mark. Remove the stock and lay the rifle on it's side with the 2 (?) trigger plate screws facing upwards - remove the screws and gently prise the plate away - you will soon see any broken parts.You should depressurise the gun before playing around with the trigger - or find a gunsmith to do the job for you.

Part 1 of 2 covering my bag of 138 over barley drillings

Stubble surely, not drillings? -
Bit vague tbh - does the cocking lever go all the way back and does the magazine index? Can you hear the action cocking?If yes and yes then what, exactly, happens when you pull the trigger?

The standard AA mod is all the 410 needs, around £20 used if you can find one. Make sure both O rings are changed (assuming the gun is used?) on the bolt and charge to 170 bar - check zero and first 4-5 shots will be a gnats knacker low, the following 50 will make you look like Annie Oakley on steroids. Carry a batch of 50 pellets and aim to recharge once the 50 are used. Don't bother cleaning the barrel unless accuracy drops off and do not believe the sexually self sufficient peddlers of doom and gloom when they tell you that your gun will rust in front of your eyes or that the barrel bends like Sadie Sterns whip.

Silicone Oil is not a lubricant recommended for metal to metal in Airgun applications - try taking your bolt out and clean it thoroughly - then either a tiny bit of mineral Oil, a fine smear of lithium grease or rub a soft pencil over the bearing surfaces.

Supersport - as said introduced in 97 - 2 models, MK1 & MK2 - MK2 has a 3 piece cocking arm whereas the MK1 has a 2 piece.Personally I wouldn't spend too much money in it as the hinge pin is a huge weak point.

I have .17 - buy 150, stock 300/.22lr buy 100, stock 500.

Ex battery hens are brilliant - most likely still have 3 years left in them and will still lay maybe 5 eggs/week. The biggest pleasure, however, is seeing the transformation from the poor condition they arrive in to superb looking specimens in about a month - mine had never seen rain and just stood out in it at first not knowing what to do. They WILL eat your garden and dig up your lawn like a rotavator on steroids so be warned - gave my chucks away about 5 years ago and my lawn has just about recovered. Eggs will cost you twice shop bought prices as the feed is not cheap in small quantities but they taste sublime - you will also need to buy Diatomaceous earth to keep red mites at bay. As you eat the Eggs, crush the shells and put it in their food - cheap source of the calcium they need to lay decent eggs.Go for it cos they are fascinating birds to have around the garden but be sensible as to how many you keep - dont take the wife when you go to collect because she will want to rescue all of them. Contact the British Hen Welfare Trust for the best advice.

Use marbles as Ammo - anybody finds one in their garden they will just think that kids have left it there - pretty deadly as a projectile as well.

Chambers do spares - vaguely remember these guns - I had the G80 flagship model - absolute carp but nice looking guns.

It is all made clear - just putting your name counts as a signature, it's in the notes. P.S. don't forget to list your moderators - I know someone who did!!. BTW - they are no longer doing home visits.

A cabbaggy smell I think would indicate a sewer - check around the base of the toilet where the pipe joins the pan - we suffer occasionally in the mornings, the sewers dry out at night and some sort of gas is released and then in the morning when people "upstream" of us start using the Loo the gas is forced to find a way out.

No movement on the scope whatsoever chaps - the Ebay special (£7 new from the land of deadly viruses) one piece mount has been placed exactly where the scope rail ends so that any slipping would be apparent - it just so happens then that the scope has to be as far back as possible for correct eye relief for my old eye. Only real problem' I'm having is the weight of the beast, the cacophony of noise on firing, the whole shebang seemingly trying to jump out of my hands on slipping the trigger and the whiff of oil in the air. Trigger, for an old gun is, IMHO, better than any other spring gun I have ever tried and when I'm rich I will have the stock redone.

I wrote awhile ago about this gun, I had promised myself when I was a teenager that, one day, I would own one (long story) so last year I scratched the itch and bought the gun below. Had her serviced (new spring, washer etc) and then pretty much put her in the back of the cupboard and forgot about her. With the current situation re Air supply, I am reluctant to use my Wildcat for garden plinking so ,in an uncommonly intelligent moment, I dug her out for a bit of blatting down the garden. I bought a period scope (from this site I think) and the whole outfit felt quite "classic" as I popped a target down't garden (37 yards) and settled in for a period of testing.First 10 shots are shown below - there's a small tear high and right but that's where a lead particle came back and hit the paper - not bad for a mid 80's springer??

I like Boris, always have. However, when this is all eventually over and anger replaces fear, I think questions will be asked as to why Boris ignored Prit Patel's recommendation to close our borders and why we initially followed the herd immunity theory. If you consider Germany's current stats I believe that these 2 actions alone may have cost thousands of UK lives and the people of this country are not terribly good at forgiveness.

This is my Annie - stupid accurate.

"Long suffering lefties"??? I demand satisfaction Sir......Pistols at Dawn? Sometimes wish I were right handed because I'm pretty sure it's classed as a disability and I could claim benefits.

How did you pay the deposit....Credit Card I hope?

How odd that the AA guns should be picked out as being prone to rust - the 2 examples given, the S410 and the S200, are made by 2 totally different companies i.e. NSP Engineering and CZ - thousands of miles apart, different barrel makers, different chemical treatment facilities yet both still potential rust buckets?
