  3. super novas are known for doing that,any rust on the cartridge and they jam.craig
  4. 13 shot between two of us,went for a drive after we had packed in to reeds island and on to winteringham where i can shoot as well.never seen so much stubble and most had pinks on them,talked to the farmer and he said he scared the geese off twice this morn off fields that had been drilled with rape.another go in morn i think. craig
  5. ive had enough of buying 100 quid binos that dont work that good in poor light so when i was passing derek lees i popped in for a look,in a moment of madness i bought a pair of steiner 10 x 44 nighthunters at 699 quid !! have,nt told the other half and have been sneeking them in and out when shes not looking. idiot or coward or both,look forward to your comments. craig

  7. not heard a thing,i couldn,t dowload the form so made one out to the same format and sent it recorded delivery. craig
  8. nothing wrong with that,get them going over your head at 40 yards and that will wake you up with a jolt.craig same birds ? craig
  9. ive shot pheasants'partridge and hares on the rothwell shoot in north lincs,i use cylinder and quarter choke all the time with 28 gr 7.5s and never had a problem unless ive not given them the required lead.{theres some high birds on there aswell although the hares can,nt get as high !} craig
  10. 70 pinks heading north over grimsby ?!! 1 hour ago. think they didnt fancy meeting harrycatcat and ayano3 and others. craig........got your mate a bag of 28 bore empties graham,ill drop them in soon.

  14. this time of year they want seeds,they,ve fed on rape leaves first,then clover,then milky barley and now rape seeds.when thats gone it will be wheat and then acorns.rape seed might be small but its well worth the effort to feed on it due to the high fat content. craig
  15. belongs to sutton estates,lad called carl shoots it.suttons own all the land at the back of the oaklands hotel at laceby and thousands of acres around tealby and that way on.the pond that has sprung up just past the greatcoates/a180 turn off is shot by billy walker, game dealer from marshchaple. craig
  16. only got 5 miles down the road,both wheel bearings shot,in fact the garage i pulled up in in gretna,he said its a wonder i hadnt lost both wheels !he quoted me 250 for both sides and thats if the stub axle wasnt knackered.so,i could get digs and wait till it was done,or leave it there and come back when it was ready,which means driving home{210 miles}then back next day which is 420 either way.then the garage would prob inflate the price because,with me driving all that way im def gonna pay up.gary,i know why you said its best when someone drives from 3 or 4 hours away because if anything goes wrong,theyre too far away to do anything !!anyway,my solution,i kept the motor and gave the boat to the mechanic,cut my losses and all that ****.anyway gary,i hope your happy and i hope your bad back gets worse,thats prob comeuppance for for all the other people you,ve done. craig
  17. i served my time as a blacksmith at humber graving dock,immingham from 1975 to 1979.in the boiler shop next door they still used the exact same machines as in the film ! they date pre war and if british ship builders wouldnt update them....well we,ve seen what happend,and they all went bust.us blacksmiths made handrail stanchions,when we fitted them on the ship a shipwright had to do part of the job !! so it needed a blacksmith and mate, a shipwright and mate, and a welder and mate !! no wonder it went tits up. craig
  18. i served my time as a blacksmith at humber graving dock at immingham in 1975,we used the axact same gear as they did then!they wouldnt spend any money on updating the equipment and couldnt compete with up and coming countries.thats why it all went tits up i suppose. craig
