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.

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.

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.

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.

Hungerford opened its doors to most what we see today shooting organisations should have been united under one roof to fight what was to come not with a attitude if it does not involve me and not treating it like a bad smell hoping it would go away You will always find that a shooters worst enemy is his fellow shooter .
UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL

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.

I'd argue it goes beyond National culture, hunting is part of human culture. We simply would not be where we are now as a species without it.
That's true, but it's being bred out of humans these days via evolution.

I love my 17 rem, but the one that gets the most use is my Sako75 22.250.

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.

Absolutely Dougy.
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.

Fishing is almost certainly in the cross hairs. NRW have been attacking and removing rights and permissions from Salmon anglers for some time now. NRW are constantly meddling in what can be stocked and where. There is also a growing anti-fishing sentiment here.
My local country park lake (which has nothing of any worth in it except for some miniscule trout and 100 tons of Canadian pondweed) recently had a lot of no fishing signs erected by a do-gooder local to the park. Completely separate from any type of park or council authority. Another park lake locally banned fishing over 15 years ago following pressure from anti-fishing locals. Shame as that had a really strong head of decent sized carp and other coarse fish in it.
Another local lake which is on an abandoned industrial site was stocked with carp and coarse fish as a part of the clean up of the site. It's technically trespassing to fish on the site as it's owned by the coal board but it's never been enforced and the EA used to frequent the site and check for rod licenses. In the past few years anti-fishing people who live near to the lake have been aggressively engaging with the police to act on the trespass and remove anglers from the lake, a local bird watching (packham type) leading the charge.
When shooting is gone, fishing, horse racing and greyhound racing will follow. Shortly after that will be green laning, MX riding, mountain biking and horse riding. There seems to be a massive part of the population in Wales with the mindset that anything they do not partake in shouldn't be allowed and the government are all too happy to lap this up to ensure their share the vote.
Fishing has been in the crosshairs for 40 years +,
Basically if folk dont agree or like what we do in field sports they want it stopped, all are in the crosshairs.

The first time i had goat was in Lekkas Terverna Kassiopi in Corfu, loved it.
I thought it was similar to lamb but a tad stronger.

Deeksofdoom,
I think your doing the right thing, socialising it with other pups and in a controlled atmosphere children too.
Best of luck and enjoy the very short puppy time, it soon goes.

Ditchy 100% agree,
13.5 weeks old, new surrounding. too early in life to understand boundary's, do's and donts and stress reaction.

Have a gander at Auto Electrical sites if your still looking.

Its a puppy, it bit because it was under stress and panicked and most likely in a little pain.
Doesn't sound like it was an aggression action towards the kids at all.
Very much like when you wack your thumb with a hammer.

why didn't he/you just print them off as hard copies then and do it the old fashioned way😁
He was told that it was not an option, and as i have still 2 years to renew mine i was not even aware of the online process.

I completed a renewal for a chap at work who had no idea how to drive a computer whatsoever.
It was not too difficult but for those who have trouble with forms i can understand it to be quite a task. I know some who have not bothered, with the online application being given for not bothering.
Having said that, and as i helped this chap out, he was given a rather stern warning and was told he was close to having his license revoked because someone else had helped him fill his application in. I was spoken to and asked why i had completed his application, the explanation was exactly as stated earlier, this chap doesn't have a phone able to take pictures or even connect to the internet.

Just out of interest what are you buying ?
If your budget can stretch i can recommend looking at thermal spotter with rangefinder
The Great British Shooting Show.
