Last week I gave my grandson a present of an introductory clay lesson at Barbury Castle after which we did 50 cartridges each. Having paid for lunch, the lesson, cartridges, clays, petrol from Bristol, we were driving home and when he gave a big thank you followed by “we’ll have to do that again sometime” Thank goodness he’s studying in Leeds !!! A narrow escape. That said, a memorable day with my grandson was worth it.

I note AGD has tried to help. But a simple trawl (Google is your friend) shows a Norica Air Guns in Spain, website in English, and with contact details. Send them an email re importer. also ‘the hunting edge.co.uk’ sell Norica air rifles. Try them.

Have a chat with Airgun Doctor, Cannock Chase. Very approachable and sorted a Reg problem out for me (twice) Years back I had Ben Taylor fit a Reg to my AA S410. About three years ago it started playing up and the Reg problem was resolved by AGD. Then, last year another, different, problem with the Reg. Again, AGD to the rescue. Quick turnaround and he held the price. Really nice guy.

A much under rated cut of beef. I pot roast mine with red wine and beef stock on a bed of onions and carrots and blend the veg and juices into a sauce. Gurt Lush

Pure Assam every time and only a hint of milk

Never been in your situation, never want to be. The worrying thing for me would be how to pick the right lady this time around. i.e. how to sort the chaff from the wheat. The gold diggers from the well intended and those with bucket loads of emotional baggage unable to leave past experiences behind. So, I wish you well and good luck ahead.

Firstly, apologies if photo puts you off your food. We haven’t been in the back garden for well over a week or so and today found these! 8 in all, in approx same area. And soil in various areas has been disturbed. we are quite close to allotments but without going into detail we believe we are badger proof and these defences have not been breached. I’m wondering if it’s a fox getting in across the garage flat roof? So, can anyone help ID the culprit and offer advice on a deterrent please. Thank you.

Good choice. Anything but Turkey. As a kid my dad’s mate was a butcher and always supplied a Capon, which is a castrated rooster. Always preferable to turkey. I haven’t seen any for years. Presumably because chemical castration is banned. Although, in the early 70’s when in Cornwall, a local chap had the pellets and would caponise roosters for Xmas.

I think “ One reason or another” covers that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

On interview Nick Park has been saying how emotional doing the new film has been without the original and unique voice of Peter Sallis. Nick Park is saying the Ben Whitehead is a great replacement at impersonating the voice of Sallis. Hopefully viewers won’t moan too much at any slight variations I always thought Peter Sallis was good in the early releases of Last of The Summer Wine. But that series went totally tits up when parts of the original team left (for one reason or another) and they tried to continue the series with unsuitable replacements. It was never the same. Sometimes a successful winning combination cannot be replaced.

The problem with the “everybody take 5% cut” approach is that many senior civil servants do not know how to manage and so their approach is equal misery for all. All of their branches lose 5% irrespective of their role. This leads to inefficiencies, and diluted performance to public services. They look at cost savings subjectively eg pay, rent, etc and not objectively ie what tasks are we doing and do we need to do them at all? such an approach would mean that necessary areas of work are not diluted and unnecessary tasks and associated costs are binned

If you think stopping winter fuel allowance was bad it doesn’t stop there. Reports on BBC News App suggest Reeves is contemplating means testing the state pension. -
We lived in a Cornish village for 2 1/2 years. You could recognise one from a distance. Their eyes were sunken deeper in the sockets 👀

Daily Telegraph has a small note saying that Wallace and friends are suggesting his behaviour is probably due to his undiagnosed autism. Everybody has to have a label to excuse bad behaviour.
