  1. Errrr, despite being older (wiser??) I cut down the stock on an old .177 Relum Tele to make an air rifle that would fit under my arm on a bungy cord... Needless to say it has been redueced to the parts bin!
  2. Squires Bingham!! Looks like a federal riot gun lol!!
  3. Has the bottom firing pin broke??
  4. I suppose the old adage 'know your gun' is relevant I am paranoid about this happening and am always inspecting faces, pins etc Bad one!
  5. My old landy had a long range fuel tank under the passenger seat. You know where this is going..... So I left a few gallon of white in the regular tank. And used to use 'racing red' in the 'hidden' tank. The dvla/tunnel police in liverpool used to look out for the staining that diesel causes on bodywork in order to pull vehicles over
  6. Ex Dutch Army Camo Gore-tex £30 from my local ex army surplus!
  7. Several hares, parked up and observed them for 5 mins on most mornings Partridge Lapwings A weasel A stoat (dead, sadly but perfect in its form, now if I was a taxidermist...) Loads of pheasants (many differing colours/breeds for the males) What have you seen this week on your travels?
  8. Many years ago (in a different lifetime) we used to have in our chemical warfare kits some 'Fullers Earth' as an absorbent compound. I did an 'experiment' in 1989 and used it to remove the red dye from the diesel. It works!! The molecules of the dye cling to the Fullers Earth and sink to the bottom, leaving the diesel white!!
  9. Homemade Chix, Leek n Mushroom Pie I planted a silly number of leek plants (the only ones i have ever grown from seed) in the front garden and am now having leeks with everything. I need the space for this years parsnips!!
  10. Contact the local FEO and ask their advice. If you fit it and then get a visit when you renew your SGC, they might not be happy with the location you have chosen. Usual things: Out of sight to casual visitors Fixed to a solid wall (not stud partition) If it is an urban setting they may insist on the attic

    Liverpool

    I have worked in L,pool for 16 yrs I work alongside a gr8 lad who is 100% red "Why did u manage only 1 goal" "why r u not in the fa cup" "Why do u like beating smaller teams?" All this is a great wind up
  12. In the last 2 weeks at work i have eaten the following: goat (response: eeeh - err its like mutton, cook it slowly and its lovely, in a curry) rabbit (response: you're weird - its low fat and gorgeous) horse (in a pie) (response: eeeeh - errr the french love it (and so do i)) Lets move away from chix, beef, pork, fish etc
  13. Rabbit - popular during the war, some people who grew up post war may have been fed of rabbit and so have passed on anti rabbit feelings to the next generation Venison - i'm no expert but what are the differences between raising beef cattle and deer for meat My old favourite that i rant on about is eating in season veg etc

    A good do

    Yeah, if this carries on they (as a village) need to be awarded the GC they have never let us down
  15. Lamping across the fields!! In 1984 we used a 1970s mini with the boot lid folded down (to stand on!)

    A good do

    The people of that village have my respect. Every time one of our brave boys come home they maintain dignity and represent the nation with their collective mourning.
  17. The only other alternative is to price up another engine from a reputable breakers yard. Fit the engine. And sell the other original engine for spares, head, injector pump etc Only if you get the vehicle for the right price
  18. Well done! "It is only the ignorant who despise education." Pubilius Syrus 100BC I got there (eventually) with only 1 grade E at A-level!
  19. Hmmm If the car was driven whilst the gasket had blown and had overheated it may have caused damage to the cylinder head. A decent garage probably couldn't quote a price, as they can't foresee any other problems that may be encountered. A damaged head may need to be 'skimmed' to ensure that it is true. Unless the vehicle is really cheap (so that you don't lose out too much if it is not an economical repair) or you know a mate that can simply put a head gasket on as a favour, it could end up as a money pit. Cheers
  20. I have a Dad's Army mug with my face on it in between Jonesy, Pike etc In the 1970s you sent in a photobooth photo of yourself and the label off the Daddies sauce bottle with a cheque 10 days later your personalised mug arrives Never seen one like it One of my treasured possesions
  21. Is it an underlever that is used for cocking it?
  22. I remember seeing the camera car go past. I've just checked and hey presto, there i am standing at the end of my drive, with my face fuzzed out! (although some would say i've already got a fuzzy face )
  23. my nearest aldi had these in for £19.99 today, 1 x grinder; 1 x sanding belt other than that machine mart?
  24. I don't do Facebook But I think that the identity will be revealed due to public pressure

    I came to Liverpool to study at the time of this terrible crime. I still work in Liverpool now. My colleagues and I at work have talked of little else since this story broke. In my opinion they should never have been released after such a short time and YES I do believe that there is a public right to know why he has been imprisoned again.
