Hey fella, I have a problem with wax build up and often when I have a hot shower it seems to soften the wax and I have muted hearing. After a week of using Earax (or whatever) and then down to the nurse to have it washed out I too have the ringing in my ears for a few days but then it passes The quack told me its perfectly normal due to the slight inflammation that the eardrops give. Unless the quack has actually diagnosed a problem you should be back out shooting by the weekend Chin up

As for the downgrade - you can downgrade if you wish after half the term of your contract. When I came out of work back in 2009 and was unemployed for the first time since leaving school, they contacted me because my bill was returned unpaid for the first time since being with them. I had been unemployed about 4 months by this time so I explained my situation. I asked if a cheaper call plan was an option only until I got back into work. They said it was but instead just gave me a 70% discount on my plan for 3 months so I was only paying £11.50 a month instead of £35 with no loss of allowance. 3 have been great with me but I have heard stories of others having not so great a service. I now pay £37(something) cos of the VAT increase but I get unlimited calls (capped at 5000mins) unlimited texts (capped at 5000) unlimited 3 to 3 calls (capped at 5000) these calls are taken from a different bank of mins from the anytime ones so effectively I could use 10,000 mins, I also get 1mb of internet and 100 picture mails (whatever they are ). The package is high use as I used the phone for work as well

Coverage has improved 100% in last year or so. I've been with them since they started (one of their first 1000 customers) and although it was a shaky start they are a good network now and IMO better than the others. They always deal with any problems - and i've only had 3 in 7 years and each time they've given me money off my bill (the one was even my fault :() There is only one downside - they always try and sting you for 2year contracts :( You do need to battle to get 18months and pretty much give them your first born to get a 12-month contract. They will tell you they don't do 12-month anymore but they do

We were actually trying this today. Using a Winchester Mod70 and Federal Power-Shok 80gr and 100gr. I have my rifle setup 1.5" @ 100yds giving me approx 200yd zero again for the point and shoot aspect but after testing today a 200yds zero using the 80gr variant gave me only just over an inch high @ 100yds so approx half an inch lower. It seems from the ballistics data that the 80gr will give better muzzle energy, downrange energy, velocity and a flatter trajectory/bullet drop over distance Could well be worth the change As much as the point is being argued though I have to concede that where the bullet strike matches the crosshair position is logically the zero point.

Can't do it for that sorry

I've been following the short clips from Kristoffer Clausen for about 2yrs now and he's good. He's in the middle of spending a year in the wild as a hunter and only eating what he can shoot/forage. His films are available from his site http://www.jaktogdvd.no/en/jaktfilmer/index.php Unfortunately they don't come with subtitles - well the older ones don't - he did reply to my email last year saying that as of March 2010 he will be editing all his films and clips with english subtitles as part of the film and other languages are available by request

On the bright side you could make about 8-10 of them for the price of one of those cost posted to your door Its a longer lasting variation on the old thing we used to do as kids - the blade of grass between your both thumbs and blow :good:

Sorry to burst the bubble but I think its already patented http://www.foxcalluk.co.uk/ I have one of those and bought it about 3 years ago

Best mounts for the CZ's are BKL's as they clamp evenly from either side eliminating the scope cant

Beginning of last week I had some venison delieverd in the form of a medium joint of Roe(doe) and a hind leg of Fallow(doe). They were both promtly put in the freezer to be used whenever. Now last Saturday I decided that I would make a nice venison stew, after all it is still cold out I went to the freezer and the Roe came to hand first so I used that, completely defrosted it over night and then roasted it 200C for approx 3hrs - it came out stunning, same texture as beef almost. Last night I decided to do the same with the Fallow, roughly the same size, if not slightly bigger than the Roe joint I took it out of the freezer, defrosted and roughly the same cooking time but this time the texture is almost like liver and the taste, well its a lot like the taste of Hare Is this right ? Have I done something wrong ? How can the two cuts of venison be totally different. I had venison years ago when I was a kid as my late uncle used to stalk deer up towards the Malverns somewhere and from what I remember of it was like the Roe i'd cooked previously. Are the different species of Deer that far apart taste and texture wise ?
