  1. New members do not have access to the sales sections of Pigeon Watch immediately upon joining the forum. This is because these sections are provided to help active PW members, not to provide a free version of Ebay to all comers. This means that new members cannot offer items for sale or post wanted threads in order to buy items. We have recently had a high number of new member posts in non-sales sections attempting to buy or sell - this is specifically mentioned in the terms and conditions you have just agreed to on joining, so please do not do this as they will be removed without further notice. Access to the "Trading Post" is granted on the basis of being an active contributor to the content of the forum. If you are only here to buy/sell then please look elsewhere to do so.
  2. There used to be rumours local to an army base I was at about there being ICBMs under the main camp car park, which would divide and roll back to allow them to launch in the event of nuclear war. Presumably several hundred cars piling on them as the halves rolled back wouldnt have caused any problems.
  3. Please add numbers shot adding them to the running total.
  4. Well said. We work very hard to keep things on an even keel and keep even the more contentious threads going. What's really frustrating is when we get people who are very careful not to break rules themselves but who think it very funny to wind others up to the point they explode and give us no choice but to act. Some might not have a lot of outlets currently given lockdown and everything else. PW might be one of them, sadly no more for one otherwise decent member. Well done from us all, I hope the lolz were worth it. Anyone reading my little tirade who thinks it may apply to them know please that even though we would rather not, we will now be hunting down causes rather than trying to be nice and manage symptoms where we are forced to.
  5. Merry Christmas one and all
  6. I noticed them earlier whilst walking. Pretty striking to see them so close (in a linear sense).
  7. The woman who said Richard III was under a car park in Leicester was clearly a bit bonkers, but...
  8. I've got a very slightly different version of the same rifle in .243. Nice guns.
  9. It's because you're new. Once you've been around for a while and have contributed to the forum you will be able to post.
  10. As stated in the terms and conditions blank firing, airsoft and replica guns are not permitted to be offered for sale in any way via Pigeonwatch.
  11. Not strictly an answer to the question you asked but this pressure cooker recipe is excellent https://therockymountainwoman.com/how-to-cook-pheasant-in-a-pressure-cooker/ I add onions, carrots and a glass of white wine to the pot and put a couple of tablespoons of italian seasoning in the flour. It's great with mash, boiled potatoes, white rice, dumplings, pasta or whatever. For rice or pasta I also add a tablespoon of creme fraiche to make a bit more of a substantial sauce.
  12. For info, if you click "view the full advert" and then "message the seller" you can get in contact irrespective.
  13. The only high streets that seem to flourish nowadays are in affluent areas where there is a market for small, niche businesses. Consumer markets have changed so drastically that I cant see there ever being a return to people going from shop to shop for weekly necessities now. We use our local butcher for all our meat but it's simply a fact that if I want the other things I need it has to be a supermarket or amazon.
  14. I've all but stopped watching TV these days and have switched to youtube etc where I can go and find stuff I'm interested in watching.
  15. Not at all. Its like when people who never served a day in uniform bemoan how the kids today would hide under the sofa if it were 1939. They did it whilst the same youth were under fire in Basrah and Helmand.
  16. If you do a search for "adverts" in off topic there are a number of threads explaining what you can do to stop this from happening.
  17. State a price please, in accordance with site rules
  18. Everything I'm seeing about this elsewhere suggests it was a deliberate stunt by some pleb wanting attention, which is pretty tasteless given the occasion. The only redeeming feature in the whole thing as far as I can see is that if you listen to the audio without watching the vid footage it sounds pretty hilarious.
  19. Where are you trying to post it?
  20. Is there any evidence that voters from one side are more likely to abuse the system than others? Because the situation described sounds like it would happen in both directions, especially if it were organised as is being claimed.
