  1. I've sent you a message I believe

  2. Free for collection from Chelmsford (bring certificate) 48x Kent Velocity 12g #7.5 28gram 70mm 25x Fiocchi 12g. #7.5 28gram 67mm no longer shooting so surplus to requirements.
  3. Winston,. It's not the handle that's broke but the top of the syphon where the metal linkage attaches to has snapped off. Good news is, it's a 'metro' syphon so apparently it can be changed without dismantling the toilet but the plumber couldn't get one over the weekend.
  4. It better not be the next tsunami - I'm on a water meter !!! the feed to the bottom of the cistern is a solid copper pipe,. No flexi pipe that I can see.
  5. It's the top of the plunger that's snapped, where the wire would be connected to it from the handle Thanks,. Thats rather what I was afraid of :( it is a close coupled cistern mounted directly to the toilet. Can't see any valve to isolate the water supply to toilet however :( (that'd be too easy) THANK YOU GENTS.
  6. The bit that lifts up (siphon?) when you push down the handle seems to have suddenly snapped off and now it's dropped down inside. has the cistern got to be removed to change the flusher thing ?
  7. She's clearly never had to stand in the thick of battle and say "Don't throw those bleddy spears..at me !"
  8. He's the guy who makes those expensive wifi multi room sound systems/speakers. after all that I didn't get to watch it anyways,. 20 mins before it was due to start I had a phone call from the 111 health/ambulance people telling me my mother had rung them, in there opinion "she sounds like she is seriously unwell,. Unable to breath, has chest pains and needs urgent treatment at A&E" . They advised I take her to hospital urgently as there was an 8hr delay for an emergency ambulance. got to hospital, explained the same situation only to be told there was a 5hr delay to see a Dr.
  9. Thanks for that,. Was sure they were advertising it for tonight,. Was driving me mad as I couldn't find it anywhere - CHEERS
  10. Can anyone tell me when it's on and what channel PLEASE kept hearing it advertised, thought it was tonight but can't find it anywhere ? Thanks in anticipation.
  11. Haha it gets better, also got 160 Premium Pork Sausages, Nearly 6kg of assorted cheeses (mainly mature cheddars with added flavours) ohhh and 1.5kg of Anchovies. had steak tonight, done in the oven, serve with a honey n mustard sauce,. Was yum yum.
  12. Through what many would no doubt see as a stroke of good fortune, I've ended up with 5.5kg lump of Prime Sirloin with no idea what to do with it ? (Nothing to fancy or involved) Grill or Fry ? Boil or Roasted ? Im thinking cooked lower and slower for longer for best result ?
  13. If you go out after pigeons, one will run out of the trees at you unannounced and scare the bejeezus out of you lol (do you remember?)
  14. Can someone suggest the best thing/method for cleaning an untreated walnut stock ? its untreated wood stock on my BSA R10 which has got marked from where it's held in the hand. Thanks

    shingles

    Apologies for resurrecting such an old thread but I thought I'd save starting another, last few days I've had cold/flu like symptoms and a general malaise about me,. I've been experiencing patches of burning sensation which have then come out in a rash 8 - 12hrs later,. It's all along the front n back of my right shoulder, down my arm and up my neck, (which is also as stiff as a board and painful) i suspected Shingles after googling my symptoms and Dr's confirmed it this afternoon :( ive been prescribed some horse sized pills Aciclovir 800mg and some antibiotic cream to put on the blistered rash.
  16. It's a shame that crop wasn't much much heavier
  17. I've been had by Amazon on both the last two items I've purchased. Both were X amount with Free UK Delivery, Both items I got charged a different amount to the listing/advert and both times it was P & P charges added
  18. I thought you can no longer transfer road tax when selling a vehicle, but recently I've had two occurrences that would seem to contradict this I bought a motorbike for my son, and the previous owner sent off the V5 with my son detailed as the new keeper, We put a SORN on it as he can't ride it just yet, He duly received a new V5, AND, a refund on the road tax which I would have thought should have gone to the previous owner. Tonight, I've gone to tax my new bike using the new V5 in my name and I can't as the DVLA's site insists there's still 2 months tax on the bike Surely the previous owner would have or should have got this as a refund when he notified the DVLA of change of keeper.
  19. To the OP, You're almost certainly incorrect. I'm out of work following an accident/recovery and having been self employed find I'm entitled to, and receive nothing. I went to my GP initially, had ears syringed twice over a couple of months - no improvement, After that I got referred to the audiology dept, got tested fairly quickly and fitted up with a behind the ear jobby = Wow what an improvement All free of charge, including a 3 month supply of batteries and the little tube bits. Boots etc etc prices start around £750 and go onwards and upwards, (Who new knew you can get hearing aids with Bluetooth that'll hook up to your phone #wicked)
  20. It's not actually an Island (In the true sense of he word) Nor is it another country.
  21. Chelmsford Essex.But have finally got a guy booked for Wednesday late pm.
  22. Deauville was only a 650cc with later variants being increased to 700ccThe Police would more likely have used the Pan European which was 1100cc with later ones being 1300cc I've just bought a Very nice 2003 Deauville after not having been on a bike in 26 or 27 years
  23. Round here I can't get a plumber to do one at any cost !! Can't even get them to return a telephone enquiry Been ringing local plumbers since May. Edit : Have finally this evening got a plumber booked for Wednesday, £60 plus vat
  24. I've posted this before I think. ANCHOVIES :) I think I posted before about the Silly little tins that you can get, Well my wife recently came home with a 2kg tub Nom Nom
