    Bad times

    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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. Here goes.... 1x Parker Hale .17HMR calibre specific 1-piece cleaning rod, Length: 32" - comes with brush and brass patch loop. This is .170 so specifically for the HMR/MachII but IIRC can also be used for .17REM/Fireball etc and also .177 air rifle. £SOLD To compliment the above 1x HMR/Mach II Hoppes Boresnake - like brand new only been used 4 times - £12 PostedSOLD Also 1x Parker Hale .30cal 1-piece cleaning rod , Length: 37" comes with only brass pointed jag for cleaning patchs. £20 posted For the reloaders - Once fired .243 brass 100 Federal brass - £20 posted 40 RWS brass (20x RWS and 20 RWS Geco) £9 posted Withdrawn Also have 12v 7ah(new) and 12v 17ah cyclic app(new) batteries here but I have no idea on the postage costs so pick up may be only option.

  10. 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
  11. 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:
  12. 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
  13. Best mounts for the CZ's are BKL's as they clamp evenly from either side eliminating the scope cant

    Venison

    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 ?
  15. Well my tuppence worth is ... I was glad to be offered the JSA concession last year. I have been employed solidly since I left school when I was 16 and i'm 36 now, may not have been in the same job but i've always been employed. I've gone from lots of things from packaging lines to fork lift driver and then onto LGV driver and for the first time in 20years last year I find myself out on my *****. Turned up for work one Friday morning to find out the truck had been sold from underneath me - no warning, no week in lieu - nothing. To this day i'm still owed over £1400 in payments from my old employer. For the first time in 20yrs i'm not able to "walk into" another job - no matter what it is. It was a major culture shock for me, still is ... As already stated if I claimed asylum saying my country treated me badly would they convert a hospital for me to live in on my own and a nice new Merc on the drive ?? When I spoke to David last year via PM on here telling him that I won't be able to renew my insurance it was David that pointed me in the direction of the concession, without it I would've had to discontinue my shooting til I got another job. Shooting without insurance... well its not rocket science is it. Personally i'm deeply grateful to BASC for what they've offered and it looks like I may have to take them up on it again this year unfortunately With that said I still don't wish unemployment or redundancy on anyone so they can see what its like. At least i'm still insured to enjoy my sport, not as much as I used to because I can't afford to go and consume ammunition and cartridges because i'm not financially in a place to easily replace it but you still need insurance to go shooting that once because thats all it takes.
  16. They seem to be :: :lol: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002ASA762/ref=as...ASIN=B002ASA762 I don't have the relevant drivers licence and health and safety certificates for the corded ones
  17. A B&Q shovel will do the same job
  18. Jeremy Kyle - Top of the list for a head massage with a black and decker shovel
  19. Good ole triple deuce When you see people wanting to buy a 22CF for this very job and turn their noses up when the .222 is mentioned it makes you wonder looking at those foxes "Are they just as dead as if they were shot by the 22CF hyperguns " :D Nice shooting
  20. Knowing what you want them for would be a great help in offering advice fella
  21. +1 I bought 4 Kumho Ecsta Sports for my 530D M-Sport and they were delivered the following day The tyres were £110 cheaper than anywhere else I tried (and I tried a few) and the delivery charge was a measly £4.95 and I couldn't be much further away
