  1. My dad used to keep all sorts in them. Fuses, washers, coins. All sorts. Here's a selection of the ones I found while clearing the house after he passed away last year.
  2. So far, as far as I can make out this is being pushed by Mark Francois, who by virtue of being the worst type of buffoon in the Colonel Blimp mold, has so far given only emotional bluster, and at no point has he drawn out a clear link between online anonymity and any of the murders/attacks on MPs. Thinking laterally, I suppose the case they might try to make is that environments like Twitter, reddit etc are the sort of places where people post outrageous things which someone not of sound mind could view as being confirmatory of whatever twisted views they have. But that argument doesnt seem to be being offered as far as I can tell. Social media is a strange environment, and it definitely makes people act in ways they wouldnt do face to face and say things they probably dont mean. There are also those who absolutely mean the things they say and do, but I dont think the proposed change is proportionate to this and so I dont support it. It's incredibly easy to work out who people really are on platforms like these with fairly fixed memberships if you need to because people generally have no idea how much information they give out about themselves. I have no problem with people knowing who I am, in fact when I joined PW I did so under my full name (later changed due to site rules at the time), but I dont think people should be forced to do so across all platforms.
  3. Hi all I'm on the lookout for a load liner for my truck as the old one is deteriorating and is trapping dirt (and therefore moisture) between it and the bed. If anyone has or knows of one within 50 miles of Rushden, Northants, please shout.
  4. Smokeless gets a bad rap sometimes but it's actually excellent fuel once you get used to working with it. I've lit my stove this time of year and kept it in right through to march before
  5. I've not heard of that one. Supertherm is what I use and it's the same in terms of keeping a fire in. I let it go overnight, clear the ash in the morning and theres enough embers to get it going again nicely
  6. Get a multifuel rather than wood only. Good quality smokeless coal goes forever on a stove.
  7. I've asked the site owner to look into it. As soon as he is able to we will report back. In the meantime please continue to be patient with us.
  8. I once had a number 6 shot come back off a beech bough and hit me on my lower eyelid on my left eye whilst roost shooting in a small wood. I wouldnt like to think what it would have done to my eyeball, it broke the skin but only just.
  9. That's weird, no restrictions have been placed on your account
  10. This. I'm not a huge fan of the Beeb but I reckon this will be worth a watch.
  11. I'd have thought so, you'd be reducing the number of baffles acting on the expanding gasses.
  12. Unfortunately this is a factor in selling online, as anyone who has ever tried selling a used car can attest. Here is some advice specific to people requesting odd sounding meetings etc:
  13. This thread is badly in need of context please if it is going to stay on the forum.
  14. Interesting gun and comments 👍
  15. I'm blessed with a wife who would rather put a bonfire out with her face than watch those shows.
  16. Militarily a good decision to choose nuclear boats over diesel
  17. It was great. My youngest is a mechanic and we were both laughing at how ridiculously easy it made the job.
  18. As has been mentioned, seriously shot. We just did mine - I bought a C frame press like this off Amazon: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143806585380?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338785333&toolid=10029&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1hc3XF6FTRDG_JIa_ZqrUIg56&customid=s%3AGS%3Bgc%3ACj0KCQjws4aKBhDPARIsAIWH0JU5HO1vYOGg7h8H0GE3RYbFefdsRV3iYXCJec6F8qWbu6qdiM6X5CgaAhW3EALw_wcB That and an impact gun had the old ones out and the new ones in in about 35 mins.
  19. What sort of thing interests you?
