  1. Why didn't I think of that! Maybe his wife doesn’t want to wake you up! 😁
  2. Just east of Louth in Lincolnshire. Not managed to find anywhere closer yet. If anyone knows of anywhere closer, I would be very happy to hear of it.
  3. I’m a skeet man. Done a bit of sporting, but English skeet my favourite. Did a bit of ISU skeet when I was younger, which was fun. My problem is trying to find grounds with skeet layouts near to me. Nearest I can find is about 60 miles away.
  4. The weird bit is when they inject the dye, you are convinced you have wet yourself. They warn you to expect the feeling, but you really feel like you have. When I had an angiogram, they went in through the groin and put the clamp on for several hours afterwards. However, when I had the angioplasty several weeks later, they again went in through the groin, but afterwards they fitted a collagen bung into the cut which was much more convenient than the clamp, but when they put it in, it felt like you had had a good kick in the gonads. Another thing was the bruising that came out afterwards, especially after the angioplasty. I have never seem bruising like it, from the groin right down to my knee was completely black. Other than that, nothing much to it. Mine was done twenty years ago, so may be somewhat different now. I’ve read that they do now prefer to go in through the arm.
  5. Wow. I thought it was a photograph of your subject, I scrolled down looking for the painting. Simply amazing. How many hours did that take to paint?
  6. My advice would be for him to apply for a certificate, then he would be in the system for what now seems to be an unnecessarily long application process. That way, he will already be in a position to get his gun if and when he gets his own place. It must be so frustrating when you discover a hobby that you love, to have to wait up to two years before you can get the wherewithal to fully enjoy your new found passion. There is no wonder shooting is dying out. I wonder if they deliberately make the application process overly long knowing that many applicants will lose interest in owning guns during the prolonged wait.
  7. Not with BASC, I am a member of the Countryside Alliance. I don’t know if they offer anything similar, I will have to give them a call to see if they can help. If I can’t find another way around my problem, I am leaning towards Shoot Cert even though they are more expensive. Quality and speed of service are more important than saving a few quid.
  8. Evening all. My shotgun certificate renewal reminder letter came through the post this morning and I immediately rang my doctor’s surgery to book my medical report interview. I was told that ‘We no longer do them’, so I called Lincolnshire Firearms and they said to use Med Cert or Shoot Cert. Has anyone on here used either service? If so, is either one better than the other, good/bad experiences? I noticed Med Cert charge £72 including VAT and Shoot Cert charge £90 including VAT. Shoot Cert seems to be recommended by most of the big shooting associations if that’s anything to go by? Or, is there another way to obtain a medical report that will be accepted by the Lincolnshire Police online application system? Thank you in advance.
  9. Stormsure. Very strong and flexible.
