  1. Ben, a lovely story. I'm sure John will treasure it well and keep the dust off the barrels. Sounds like it suits him well, a bloody good average for game shooting. Your a gent 👍and wish you a very merry Christmas
  2. I would have put some streaky bacon in, but as my neighbour offered to do the cooking i felt it a tad cheeky to tell her how to cook it. 😉
  3. Not had liver and onion for ages so treated myself to a very easy dinner tonight, so simple in fact all i had to do was ding the peas and mash. Mashed potato was left over from Sunday and my neighbour made the liver and onions as a deal when i gave her a bit of my sausage😉 and the liver.
  4. Thanks gents duck recognition just ain't my thing. But the Saxony looks very close.

    I like his work and have about 14 of his prints, one of them my best find was #2 "Far From The Madding Crowd" another was a signed print "The Wild ones" that he singed at the time of buying at the Midland Game fair with an anecdote "keep terriers working" . As your probably aware he sadly committed suicide in 2006, i think he was a sufferer of depression that sadly became too much. As Dave said you like it, you enjoy it, every now and again i take a close look at mine and see things i didnt notice last time, his anthropomorphic pics have always been a favourite of mine. And just actually got up to check the title on one of them .
  6. After the first shot was fired the gun was at waist height and went off a second time. just goes to show how things are changed in stories. Regardless of the changing facts I wish the IP the best recovery possible, and also feel for the person who caused the injury.
  7. Never seen the need for look alike military style air rifles either, and agree with comments regarding being faced with a rifle muzzle of any kind, do you or dont you protect yourself Highly unlikely you would get any reasonable answer if you asked the question. But no need to dramatize the issue, it would have been obvious at the time of the guys arrest after a 30 second inspection of the gun that it was not a live firing rifle. But thats not as exiting and doesn't does it play into the banning firearms policy. Its extremely doubtful youd get that up to FAC spec looking at the adverts
  8. It's design is to be accurate, and the cartridge accurate in basic stock configuration. Bullet,powder, velocity etc ?? And what does it shoot like and what kind of range ?
  9. Our 2 could only dream of that standard now.. Lack of out of season training due to injury has taken its toll. Sent one on a strong runner that he picked up ok, but swapped shortly after for a dead one. Little swine.
  10. Brilliant day again, made better with the decent frost, hard ground so easy walking decent bird count too. Bloody good shooting from some of the guns felt sorry for one of the guns birds coming from left to right and the gun to the right had very few to shoot. I took this shot as i though it was just a bit different.

    I've sent allsorts bia PO. when asked I tel little white lies. Bullets are brass screws cases are copper receptacles, knives have been metal scrapers. Oh no I've dropped myself in it. ☺️
  12. 1.9 205 GTI. Awesome 👌. A Shame it had too much attention from thieves. Driving wise loved annoying other hot hatches.
  13. Young drivers should restricted to low HP vehicles. Too many high performance cars driven by low performance brains. As for older drivers if they are medically fit then why not ?

    Dump Cwis on it give him a pair of oars and tell to put it back where it came from.
  15. I only carry on with recall if either I can't see the dog or he can't see me. Lovely example last week when one of the dogs was in high cover crop and had no idea where I was.
  16. I've used a Sealey 12v jet washer now for 2 seasons. Fill up with cold tap water and pour in hot water from a thermos flask end of the shoot. Quick blast off and a rub down.
  17. Freezers full, or it was at the time. It was tuff going, very steep banks and very muddy.. Was after muntjac this wk end but weathers against me so I'll be knocking up a few bangers.
  18. I bought a Viking GE250, not sure but i think there us a stihl connection somewhere, its been faultless really for what i paid. It fills the compost heap with compostable waste and anything that's not it reduces the bulk that goes in the brown bin to less than 25%
  19. Have a look at these type on Amazon, i bought a 6litre one years ago and its been faultless, and used with Seaclean it churns out some very clean cases. https://www.amazon.co.uk/YITAHOME-Ultrasonic-Professional-Stainless-Industrial/dp/B0C81DCMVN/ref=sr_1_23?adgrpid=51872608543&hvadid=259075067906&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006586&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=607422089033002445&hvtargid=kwd-17466812&hydadcr=28153_1724856&keywords=ultrasonic%2Bcleaner&qid=1700069761&sr=8-23&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.23648568-4ba5-49f2-9aa6-31ae75f1e9cd&th=1

    I joined the march in London where there was over 500,000 people, standing up for what they believed in. I like many others tried to get more to join in, i asked my local angling club Burton Mutual, but the response was as i just mentioned above "we are not part of the ban, they wont touch us" They could not see further than their nose. I fear its far too late and the jaws are locked well into the jugular of all country sports, even though we see a slight sprinkling of defence from few of the organisations it too late and been far too little.

    I keep saying over and over again, we are easily outnumbered 1000 - 1, we dont stick together, all country sports are still divided by class and i dont see any alteration in that from 40 years. Packem has more followers than there are members of all of the shooting organisation put together. Why dont all the shooting organisation combine forces get their heads together and fight as one for ALL country sports from farm yard rat shooting to Red stags in the Highlands and pigeon shooting on stubble to Grouse shooting on the moors.
  23. Anyone going into politics and thinks they can be speak openly and honestly are in the wrong job.
