  1. If only it was possible to nip back in time for a few days and see this tree a few feet high, i suppose it would have been just one of many in that area.
  2. Love the snow for seeing whats about, it was also brilliant for controlling lamp shy fox's. Cold fingers and toes is no fun, i cannot recommend the gloves in the link below enough, i have about 4 pairs, cheap as chips waterproof and warm snipped all right index fingers (trigger) and pull off with teeth. just before the shot. 1 pair shoved in the poacher pocket of 3 coats and 1 spare in the truck. Linky
  3. Not 100% identifying what you point your rifle at had allot to do with this, plus checking safe backstop. Something we should never forget to check.
  4. Nice clip again. 👍 Those Silage bails are brill for that, one of my perms stacks them the opposite way, not so comfortable.
  5. https://www.espares.co.uk/search/ma596pt1872/dishwashers/doors/samsung Looks like a Samsung
  6. It was an old 30.06 Browning A bolt i paid £299 for it 2nd hand, the actions pretty well used and slicker than a minnows winky. It was in Croatia, I shot one that was swimming across a dyke (canal size) i thought i would do the right thing for the picking up team and wait till it got up the bank, i shot it at the top and it rolled back into the water. Its a pity the group disbanded, we had some good times.

    Tea

    But it's NOT TEA is it

    Tea

    You could say that about most things that goes into your mouth, Beer, Venison Burgers, a nice slice of steak. I dont mind it, but what i do detest is bloody smelly perfume tea earl grey, lemon tea whats that all about
  9. There a big difference between having a bit of banter on a forum and filling in a firearms renewal or application. Not sure if you have read any of the earlier posts but failing to complete the form correctly may result in a delay or having your license revoked. For some people regardless of age they are not comfortable filling in forms, i'm one of those and all i do all day is sit in front of screens creating and populate spread sheets.

    Tea

    I was meant to go last Sat but went shooting instead, and i have just emptied the last few of the 1400 Yorkshire Tea bags into the smaller tin. I'm going to be in the cart if we run out now.
  11. Here is a clip from 7 years back, i miss the adrenalin rush, nothing has hit the spot anything like it. You can hear the dogs coming from id guess at around a mile or slightly less, there are time's you can actually smell the Boar and at about 1.50 in i can see the over growth start to move to my front left. Muzzle comes up and away we go. The last shot was a hit with a decent Boar just under bronze, that ran about 20 yards, all were front end heart lung shots, the last shot ran a few yards
  12. I'll be there Sat with a couple of odd balls, no doubt it will be full of the usual YouTube celebs doing their reviews on all the stands. Steve if you do go will you be wearing full Camo ?
  13. Oh yes he can certainly sing, the first time i knew it was him in Phantom of the Opera i was as you say "Gob Smacked" no way could Frank Spencer sing like that. The transformation from the Silly Billy to the key roll in a huge musical was unbelievable.
  14. Ah, but will 308 be enough Lol. I wish I'd have gone 300 WM when I had 30 cal granted 🤩
  15. Well come on don't leave us all hanging. 😉 What you gone for
  16. Shooting related donations from the lottery Your avin a Laaarrrfff
  17. This seems to be the business address area. Reloading powder £28 a tub LOL dream on i logged on and attempted to buy a box of 17 Rem. Support your local gun shop instead.
  18. I bought 2 small size ammo safes from the company for about £50 each they are adequate for the purpose,,but then are behind a locked door as en extra obstacle. I did get a bargain Lockaway safe 12 gun deep with ammo safe that im very happy with and the other a Bratton sound, both good safes.
  19. Richmond sausages though there pants, what you need is some venison and cranberry sausage.
  20. I had an issue with him years ago, disgusting attitude for someone supposed to run a business. The only contact i had was through an agency company who answered his calls. Ended up threatening small claims it was only then we actually made contact. Order canceled and money returned 5 months after initial order that was showing in stock. Your choice to spend your money where you wish, but it doesn't come easy to me so i'd rather spend it with people who appreciate it.
  21. shooting organisations should have been united under one roof to fight Ive been saying this for years but always been given a reason/excuse why it would never work, but i think the bigger reason is why Morrisons and Tesco's would never combine. MONEY. Either one would end up loosing out. UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL Unfortunately we dont stand united, i see Pheasant shoots falling out with each other with shoots ending for good, i still see the divide between the rough shooter shooting rats with a pellet gun and the driven Grouse shooter, the course fishermen and salmon fishermen. Regardless of where you stand on the country sports ladder there's a target on your back with the anti's securely locked onto it.
  22. That's true, but it's being bred out of humans these days via evolution.
  23. I love my 17 rem, but the one that gets the most use is my Sako75 22.250.

    CRUISE LINER

    We went on a cruise a few years back. The best entertainment was watching the 2pence ha'penny millionaires. Fancy dress mealtime. We had one meal that was quite annoying when some stuck up excuse for a male thought he needed to impress his trophy totty by winging about the poor waitress service. He compared it to a canteen. Totally out of order and uncalled for, he certainly made it memorable for all the nearby tables. Then there's the one golightly that took 4 puddings to herself. We sat and Watched her scoff the lot, mind you she had a fair size tank to fill.. Mrs ended up with pneumonia, 12hrs in resuscitation and a week in ICU. We decided not to bother again.
  25. And the most annoying thing is. Our sports don't need the likes of Packam. We are doing a good enough job ourselves to end the whole lot.
