    I've recently returned from oz and Nz for a year about heading back out beginning of December for another year and a half. I personally used viber app for smartphones. If you've got good 3G signal or wifi it is as good as a phone call!

  4. Vulcan V Bomber

    Dads an ex RAF wing co, so I've lived at most of the bases. He always enjoys telling a story about me in the garden as a littleun in one of those walking frames on wheels. Cruising round the garden happily under my own steam, when out of no where a Vulcan came over as low as possible, scared the living daylights out of me, and ended up in the flower bed upside down slightly miffed to say the least. And I've been a fan of the Vulcan ever since ha

    Hey guys, flying back from oz on the 15th but land at 8 30pm. got a friend picking me up, but can't be ***** with driving back to Devon that night, plus she wants to go shopping in London the day after, bloody women ha

    So need a decent hotel near to heathrow. Can anyone recommend a nice one, not to fussed on the price as long as it ain't ridiculous. After a 28 hour flight I don't wanna end up not being able to sleep cause of a bad mattress lol

  6. Alcohol

    Recently since I've been working abroad 4 or 5 bottles of corona a night, most of the time due to the 35c + temps everyday combined with a 12 hour shifts 7 days a week till it rains. Then when it rains the only place to go within 130kms is the outback pub so inevitably that's where we end up, don't even want to think about how much gets drunk there, although I do know th last big session we drank em out of all there champagne(cheap and nasty) and all the white wine. Never felt soo rough in my life!

    Don't think living snd working with 7 Irishman helps with the drinking situation one bit!

  12. Some pics from travels In New Zealand

    in Sporting Pictures

    Posted

    Worked for 5 months on a dairy farm in New Zealand, makes for a nice change in scenery. Also happens to be one of the best places in the world for shooting and fishing, which I found as soon as I started travelling after finishing work!

    Here's some photos, trying to upload them on iPad but only allowing one at a time the ******!

    First is of me and some mates on a possum hunting trip, not the best or most flattering of pictures. We were lamping them from a truck with .22 WMR

    The following three pictures are from the nicest trout fishing spot I have ever seen!

  13. FAC question

    in General Shooting Matters

    Posted

    Currently in Australia working, but back in England for a month or so in September. After working out here I've finally got a decent amount of money in the bank, so now can afford to get my fac, and the exact rifles I want etc. only problem is the time I have in England, don't want to apply and then get a phone call when I'm in New Zealand to organise an inspection etc

    What are the chances of the inspections etc being done within a month of applying. Gna print out the forms and get em filled out ready to post as soon as I arrive in England.

    I'm in Devon if that helps with the processing times etc

     

    Cheers

  21. What you do for a living

    Flash, been looking for someone just like you!

    As someone looking to emigrate i am concerned about the Ozzie Gun laws. Can you tell me are you a Brit Expat?

    How easy was it for you to obtain licencing. Is it similar to over here? Assuming of course you still shoot.

    I gather you need a licence for anything stronger than a water pistol?

    I'm not technically an expat, just out experiencing the world before I'm too old :)

    Have looked into the gun laws and they are strict, maybe even more so then blighty.

    Nz on the other hand is altogether different ball game! Basic rifle license is semi auto rifles with max mag capacities. Then work your way up to full autos. Also they have DOC land which is department of conservation land which is free to hunt once you have a permit.

    That's some nice kit! Stuff we have here is a bit more "agricultural" if you know what I mean. We're 140km from nearest dealer so need stuff that's real easy to fix and maintain otherwise it puts the kit out of work for days when it does breakdown sadly.

    Back out to New Zealand in October, kit they have there is exactly thr same as England, maybe a bit bigger. Quite weird the difference oz and Nz when it comes to the farm equipment

  25. Help! What 10in. Tablet?

    and you can BB bridge so the tablet piggy backs the internet from the phone

    You can do that with an iPhone, personal hotspot, same as with the iPad.

    Just bought an iPad 4, absolutely brilliant. Synced all contacts from iPhone straight to it without realising. And more apps then I know what to do with! Good battery as well, lasts over 12 hours with general use when I'm working :)
