  1. Several members of what? Or have I missed it? - Here? What club? You sound like a ‘walt’ to me Mark (A worried 28 Browning Cynergy User)
  2. Suggest what you want for it. Ask people to put in their best and final offer. Bidders have no idea what has been offered and by how many people. You need an estate agent who will play the game and add some drama.
  3. Closed bids. Best way and you can reject the highest if you’re not happy.
  4. Hi. Just wondering if anyone has a good online source (good price and trustworthy) for wire pen mesh and wire. I need quite a few rolls after the storms….
  5. Is this cylinder choke still available? I’m reading this like the IC has been sold.
  6. Both the same gun. 60 - fixed choke. 70 - multi choke.
  7. 3 adults working (all 4 out all day) and one not far from leaving school. We don’t shop regularly, so we have 2 fridge freezers. 1 small chest freezer and 1 beer fridge (and 2 refrigerated beer pumps - a blade and perfect draft). Rarely use the tumble drier as we either air clothes outside or in front of the log burner. For a 5 bedroom house. We are around half the average use of gas but 2.5x the electric use. God knows what our bills could be. Thankfully after all my moaning, everyone seems to be trying to get the bills down, a rough estimate looks like another £100-£140 rise per month.
  8. Well we spent £1800 on electricity and £450 on gas last year, so my *** is nipping…… We are large users of electricity- washing machine goes 3 times a day with work clothes, gym gear etc for 4 adults. Don’t waste much, lights off when we don’t need them etc.
  9. Our syndicate jumped up to £545 this year. Walk one stand one, shoot 10 days plus a walk around in 1st Feb, bag returns 500 (=10 x 50 bird days). Cost increase due to wheat being £200+ and poults going up 60p. This, couldn’t say it any better - “One of the biggest issues I have experienced from syndicates isn’t people putting the money in, it’s people actually willing to put the work in.” Helping with vermin (shooting foxes and pigeons) ISN’T the type of work that most syndicates need.
  10. Watch eBay. I got a briley A400 bolt handle a year or so ago.
  11. Got a qooker. It’s great for all jobs. Only the hot water aa the tank for filtered and sparking is expensive and big. Note - Northumberland’s water doesn’t need filtering and sparkling bottles are dead cheap at home bargains and bookers. Of course, there is always a sodastream for £90 new. For safety - take a little getting used to and you need 2 hands. One holding the cup and one on the tap.
  12. Everyone thinks teachers are lazy numpties who do no good other than encouraging students to become snowflakes and join PETA. This teacher has promoted game nationally for years. He’s provided schools with all types of game and had kids cook them all. Give him a vote, fantastic promotion for our sport and getting the public eating game. EAT GAME AWARDS 2021 - Vote Joe Joe Mann has been nominated as a finalist in the @EatGameUK for all the amazing work he has done using Game meat to cook with his students. Joe is up for the award of Best Game Educator. He has some serious competition amongst the finalists, all of whom we have worked with in the past!! I would love to see a Food Teacher win this award and I am sure you would too. So, could I ask that you show Joe your support and cast a vote for him here: https://eatgame.co.uk/eat-game-awards/voting/#best_edu Thank you
  13. I had one in 17 HMR. Best way I can discribe them is a Ferrari gun. Only got rid of mine as I upgraded to a 17 hornet.
  14. I use off cuts, a good friend gets them from a pallet manufacturer. Some is kiln dry (They burn too fast and too hot) others are soaking (they basically make smouldering smoke bombs) - but a mixture of the 2 works well. I only have a single story twin wall, it stays clean as it doesn't have time to cool done before it’s out the top. I’ve burned pallet blocks and no issues. The only issue is mine is a multi fuel stove so the nails block the grate.
  15. If anyone wants to share this sale. I’d buy it and I only want the U2. Just split the rest at an agreed price.
  16. They are tremendous. Our’s goes 24/7 from sept - may. Filled during the day when we are out and during the night with smokeless coal (sue me lol) and filled with wood at other times and when people are it in the house passing. We are a mid 90’s build in a smokeless area. The only issue is they aren’t cheap to run unless you have access to free wood, somewhere to store the wood and a chain saw. Wood is easily come by, especially in the summer months (and after storms).
  17. No more bonds? it was a mediocre film by the way…. The reboots are endless. 1. He jumped down a shaft into water. 2 A book closes and he’s stood there. 3. He’s knocked out, being tortured. 4. He wakes up in hospital. 5. He wakes up in someone’s bed. 6. 48 hours earlier he planned something and that didn’t happen.
  18. Browning silver (early model) didn’t have a rib.
  19. Clearview. Same questions been asked for years.
  20. OMG. My break even point over the year, paying monthly is £251 a month.
  21. It could be (and still may get) worse in a few years time.
