i have a teenage daughter with severe learning difficulties and over the years have had many obsticles to get over with various departments etc and it is not easy ,to add to this the physical and mental stress of caring for someone 24 hours a day ,every day for years on end is a real struggle as there are no days off or phoning in sick , if a few ciggies is what that woman needs to get through another day just to do it all again tomorrow the so what . Perhaps she is not the most orginised or clued up person and maybe she did make a mistake , but if you had to do what she does every day how do think you would fare , we cant all be strong and on top of stuff ,she is doing her best ,what more can you ask. She is also saving the tax payer and absolute fortune , if she said tomorrow ok thats me ive had enough you will have to take my child into care you are talking serious amounts of money for 24hr year round care ,it would be i imagine 100k ,so come on cut her some slack .

hi there , had my first go at shooting over the new drillings last saturday with some success . i got 25 pigeons and 5 crows and should have had more but i missed a good few .the farmer has planted another 5 fields with barley and im wondering how long the birds will feed on this and how long do you keep going to the fields once they are planted out , do you keep shooting over them once the crop starts to grow or once the birds have cleared the fields is that it until the harvest ,sorry for the rookie questions but if i dont ask i will never know. Peter

im a bit more hopefully after your comments , i hope i get a few and learn a bit more decoying tips. will it matter if the field is drilled on Wednesday and Thursday and i wont be shooting over it until Saturday and will i be able to shoot over it for a few weeks or so . Peter

Hi there , i have just managed to get some more fields to shoot over on one of my permissions ,im relatively new to shotgunning and have never shot over barley drilling's before . Will the birds feed on them and do i set up my decoys the same and should i use a flapper and rotary .They are planting these fields mid week and i plan to shoot them on sat . Any advice would be great . Cheers Peter

hi there ,is this a lefty and is it 3 inch chambers and proofed for steel shot. nice looking gun .

try mcCallan 10 years old , matured in sherry casks and is excellent , the mc Callan oak cask is nice also but i prefer the 10 year old, i have also recently destroyed a bottle of tobermoray with my American brother in law , lovely stuff

in an independant scotland we could have labour ,tory ,libs or national party governing us ,depending on what the nation voted , if the country becomes independant at some point elections will begin and every party will have its chance to win the right to govern.the people would have elected them ,as it stands we are governed from westminster by a party that has little to no backing from scotland , surely this cannot be right .

the more people say you cannot and never will be independant as you are incapable of governing yourselves the more people vote for it ,if scotland is such a burden on the uk then why the hell are they making such a fuss about our right to govern ourselves , surely they can only prosper if what they say is true ,that scotland is a "hands out nation " . the more they protest the more alex salmond laughs , you are doing the job for him. He is the smartest politician in britain by far and Cameron is useless.

at least if we got independance we would have a chance of being governed by a political party we accualy voted for, as the saying goes there are more panda's in scotland than tory mp's.enough said.

hi there ,thanks for posting that info, do you think i could fire steel from this gun in 70mm cartridges,i think il take your advice and wait until i get it seen to before i try it, i was nervous about it as it was .bloke i bought it from said it was a magnum and shot 76mm carts but i cant see anything on the gun to say that. if you say the 1270 is gauge and chamber then it seem its not . ****** now i need another gun for 3" carts and steel proofed for shooting on the foreshore .Thanks for your help mate. Peter

hi there , it would be good if the 1460 was the bar reading, steel would be no problem . the 1270 is next to FMN i dont think that is the chamber size , the person i bought the gun from said he has shot 76mm through it and i think most laurona are 76mm.i think your right about the barrel diameters being 18.4. thanks for your input mate it all helps solve the puzzle . Peter

hi there , im trying to find out if my laurona eibar is a magnum and will it be okay to fire steel . so far i have discovered the gun was made in 1985 these are the markings i have seen on the gun and barrels ,can anybody shed some light on it for me. stamped on both barrels is 18.4 stamped on the flats of the barrel is 1460 gmos E2 on the underside there is FMN1270 On the side of barrels 1200kp/cm (i think) there are stamps CH also BP one like a knights head with a x under it and one i cant make out. Any help would be great. i went to my local gun shop but it was a rookie behind the counter but he phoned a gunsmith he knew , he just asked if the make if it was o/u and was it multi choke .then said it would be okay for steel as long as i used half choke or less. Peter

hi there , the markings you have shown are the same as on mine,will the markings of the fleur de llys still be stamped on older guns ,i was wondering if we could use standard steel shot and not the high performance, im going to the gun shop tomorrow to see what they say, il let you know what they say. Peter

there is some logo of some description there and some numbers on the barrel , i will post them up and see if that can shed some light on the subject, thanks for the reply's guys . im hoping this gun is proofed for steel as it would make life much easier. Peter

hi there , i have a laurona eibar 12g over and under. my problem is i can see no markings that say if this can take 3" cartridges and if its proofed for steel shot. what should i be looking for and does anyone know if these guns are okay for this load of cartridge as i want to go shooting geese and need to get this sorted beforehand.any information regarding this gun and marks etc would be much appreciated. Peter
