Hi is this still for sale? thanks

Sorry for the delay, Scope is now Sold thank you.

Scope now Sold

Swarovski Habicht Nova 6x42 Ideal scope for woodland stalking, the light gathering at last light is superb, and has allowed me to account for many Foxes late on. There are a few little marks on the ocular tube which could easily be covered, and the odd blemish on the bell, both of which are covered with Butler Creek covers (included). The lenses are in perfect condition. Looking for £275 including posting.

Bump and a price drop to £275

The Mrs bought me a pair a couple of Christmas's ago. I was unsure to start with, but I've got the leather topped ones and they are the comfiest footwear I own, in fact they are now my footwear of choice for everywhere inside the garden gate. The wife calls me a croc convert!! However I never wear them out of the gate, and never will.

If West Yorkshire had hemorrhoid's Bradford would be the first place to look. I had a colleague who's commute took him through Bradford, he took early retirement in part because he was fed up of cars doing 20mph on empty roads for no reason, and cars braking suddenly for no reason other than cash for crash scams. Driving standards are best described as questionable, some of it is due to a total lack of respect for the law in general but definitely road traffic law. Seat belts seem optional, mobile phone use whilst driving is the norm. Frequently the vehicle's capabilities out perform that of the the driver, and natural selection comes into play.

The local hospital has the same TV sets you mention but just as the hospital opened the tv company went bust. There are now all these little tv/telephone units on adjustable arms in every room over every bed and I don't think one of them works. I have had my elderly mother in this hospital several times with no tv available and no view. As the company went bust there are no plans to sort out the problems the only entertainment available is a small transistor radio or cd player that we took in for her. I do have to wonder what effect it has on the overall well being on the patients in terms of depression or dementia.

Just playing devils advocate, Police officers are arresting an individual who spits at them, this can transmit a variety of diseases to officer. Due to 'do gooders' protesting against the use of spit hoods, the options for a police officer who is being assaulted to ensure the safety of himself and others is now limited. Surely an alternative course of action needs to be used eg. taser or a swift kick in the crown jewels, that is about the only thing I can think of to stop someone spitting. Do I have a problem with spit hoods, or taser or cs spray? No because I conduct myself in such a way as to never be on the receiving end of any of them. I generally find that if you don't do anything unlawful and are civil when dealing with a constable you have nothing to fear.

or a .17hmr!

I think being that close to a buffalo you'd realise quite quickly that adrenaline is brown! Quality wise they are every bit as good as my Swarovski and Zeiss optics.

Yes it was Thursday I made it, (joys of shift work!) Friday looked a better day.

I Managed to make it to the Leica Experience at Diggle Rifle Range yesterday. The weather wasn't brilliant due to low cloud and fog, forcing the itinery to be adaptated accordingly so as to maximise the oppertunity to shoot. We started off firing the .416 Rigby at a static Buffalo target. The rifle was a thing of beauty fitted with a Leica Magnus 1-6.3 x 24 scope. Its probably the only time I'm likely to shoot such a rifle but although it has a massive recoil this is more of a shove than a violent kick, probably absorbed by the weight of the rifle but even though it was a heavy rifle it was well balanced so not a struggle to shoot from a standing position. As the weather allowed we moved onto the running boar range which was a first for me! Ive always shot moving targets with a shotgun but by keeping the scope on 1 x and keeping both eyes open it was relatively easy to transfer shotgun principles to the running boar. Here we had the choice of shooting either Sauer 404 or the Blaser R8 Professional both in .308 fitted with the Leica Magnus 1-6.3 x 24 scope. They even had left handed rifles available. I've fired a Blaser before and liked it, the straight pull for driven would be a great advantage for a second shot. The Sauer 404 is very similar to my 202 but I must admit I prefer the safety on the 202. Lunch in the form of a Hog roast was provided along with soft drinks and tea and coffee, which given the miserable weather was much welcomed. Finally the cloud lifted sufficiently to allow us to use the 600yds range and everybody got the chance to shoot out to 600 which was a first for me. But with the right kit even a mediocre shot like me can put rounds on target both with the .308 and the .338 Lapua. The day was organised and run by Simon and Selena Barr with support from Chris at Swillington Shooting Supplies, Hornady ammunition, Spartan Engineering - jeez them javelin bipods are light, John from Blaser, Can am quad bikes and rangers (used to give you a lift if needed), Rigby and Swazi. Simon and the range officers did an excellent job of keeping things going inspite of the weather. There was no hard sell by anyone just a short explanation on how the Leica Geovids work with the rangefinding and ballistics computer, with good anecdotal experience shared, on how they come into their own when shooting chamois and ibex etc. Swillington had some good deals on the Leica and swazi gear but no pressure to buy on the day. I believe they're planning on running more of these days in the future and I will definitley try to get to the next one.

****** I'm working again

Given that ISIS or Daesh is not a recognised nation state, is it possible to declare war on an ideology or a group of people?

I think each sport has differing requirements in terms of fitness, a marathon runner or fell runner would need excellent endurance. A sprinter or power lifter needs explosive strength. Boxers as an example would need a mix of both (try doing 3 minutes on a punch bag). Other factors come in to play like co-ordination and balance. Many years ago we had a Staff v's Works Rugby leage match at an engineering company where I worked. The Staff Side (office staff) were all quite fit guys many played football or squash etc. So cardiovascular fitness should have been no problem. The works side (craftsmen) were mostly unfit but strong men, working with their hands all day lifting and carrying. The works side were considerably larger but had nowhere near the fitness or speed of the Staff side. The largest factor was the ability for the works side to take a good knock and get back up and carry on. Many on the staff side once having recieved a good tackle struggled to get back into the game. The result was 38-0 to the Works Suprisingly enough there was no foul play. Ps. I played open side prop for the Works

There was a company at the Northern shooting show, but I can't remember their details. I'll have a look and see what I can find.

If I hadn't seen that, I'd have been convinced it had been built with a form underneath.

The course of events needs to be: Conservatives elect new leader, who as a result becomes PM. New PM must invoke Article 50 without delay. PM must remain in post until 2020, next general election in order to provide stability for the markets and the economy, whilst providing continuity for negotiations to tke place and secure the right deal for the UK. The precedent has already been set by Gordon Brown succeding Tony Blair. The whole exit of the EU is a massive issue that we must get right, it is much bigger than party politics. Given the enormity of the consequence of our leaving it would be prudent to allow a cross party delegation, to conduct the negotiations. This is the time to role out people like Lord Digby Jones (a cross party peer). The negotiations need to be along the lines outlined by UK Poacher.

Once the new PM is decided then article 50 needs to be invoked. Our negotiating team needs to include people with a backbone, people like Lord Digby-Jones. Ideally we need to be able to trade freely with any member state, whilst having no freedom of movement (other than tourist visa's). We must be free from EU legislation, and we must be free from making financial contributions to the EU. All the above is pretty much what we the electorate voted for. It would be a British model, based on a 'special relationship' given our trade defecit with the EU. Basically it would be in Europe's best interest to continue exporting freely to one of, if not their largrest markets. Whilst awaiting Article 50 we should be negotiating trade deals with commonwealth nations and any countries that wish to negotiate. Those people already resident from EU countries need to be allowed permanent residency, whilst we wish to control immigration it is unfair to pull the rug from under people who have invested their time and efforts into settling in Britain. Reciprical arrangements need to be made for ex pats. All future immigration needs to be on a points based system based around what skills the country needs, and open to all. It must however be strictly enforced. Whilst much has been spoken of 350million for the NHS, anyone with a moderate level of intellect fully understood that the was a gross contribution and not going to be available in full. There has been great dischord between both sides and those who wished to remain had obviously found things from the EU that were prescious to them. Moving forward we need to ensure that: Farm subsidies are retained and paid on time. Regional development funds continue to be allocated to benefit the areas most in need. Schemes such as the RET on ferries in the Highlands and islands need to be honoured. Workers rights need to be enshrined in legislation to ensure that the level they are currently afforded can never be eroded. As a country we need to rally behind our business's and buy British where possible. Insist on British meat and veg when it's in season. We need to develop our educational institutions to deliver people of the right calibre for the future. As a society we need to realise that our schools do not need to produce a class full of A* students. They need to produce people who can fit intothe workplace at all levels. We will need Doctors, Engineers scientists but we will also require cleaners, labourers and cabbage pickers. The youth of today need to learn that not everyone can be a proffesional footballer or the next winner of X factor. most of them will need to actually work for a living. There needs to be an end to benefits as a carreer choice. Benefits for those able to work need to be a safety net for people who fall on hard times. To rebuild a sense of community simple cost neutral policies would be effective. Large public service companies and organisations need to localise the services they deliver, postmen, road sweepers and police etc should work in predominantly one area as much as is possible to allow them to take ownership of an area, and become part of the community. Too many services have been regionalised and subsequentlly faceless entities. To maximise the efficiency of both the transport infrastructure and the available commercial premises business's should be afforded modest tax breaks to encourage working from home using high speed broadband, which needs to be rolled out to every corner of the isles asap. Oh and start building the Defender again. If I think of anything else i'll let you know :lol:

Perhaps we could start a petition to remove the TV license and all government funding due to it failing to deliver impartial public information, and a bias reporting on EU issues.

This is exactly the attitude that will allow the country to move forward towards achieving its full potential. I just wished others who had voted to remain had the same outlook.

Another 3 for out from this household.
