  1. Search for Trumps 2018 executive order, outside interference in US elections. If he has a legal route it may be this, makes interesting reading.
  2. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/229963
  3. 12x12 is far better, I have 4 of them and 2 8x8. 500/700 in a 12x12 is easy and comfortable without undue stress. 300 in 8x8. Both use similar amounts of gas! The 12x12 are set up together, so actual size is 12x24 (plus night shelters), if you’re building your own then make them 8 and 6 foot panels for easy handing.
  4. What do you have at the bottom of the slope or opposite? as these are the better locations for a pen, then feed the birds up onto the slope. Pen sections will work fine with a decent electric fence and several spurs run off to buzz any unwanted visitors. Harris fencing might be an easy pen building material for the long term pen!
  5. Yes, the organic acids which lower water ph to 4 and include amino acids and chelates minerals are definitely worth administering correctly.
  6. Hexi doesn’t live long outside of the host, best single thing you can do to help prevent hexi and coxci is acidify your water! This is the stuff used for poultry production and works out far cheaper than the game specific version https://www.quillproductions.co.uk/products/nutrimix-20-litre and litmus paper to set your ph to 4 or if you have money a Auto dosing pump
  7. This ^^^^ Are you sure you didn’t have Hexamita rather than Toxicosis, hexi was very prevalent last year.
  8. They do an organic acid with chelated minerals (for chicken production) at much less cost that the game specific ‘boost’. it works mightily fine!
  9. I know of a guy who zinc plated his entire frame in the bath whilst wife was away for a few days
  10. Another fan of the Murkur 38C Since the original PW thread about double edge safety razors I’ve saved loads, so far my purchases are just two Murkurs, two badger bristle brushes, four pots of soap and two packs of 100 blades! One of the Murkurs is a 34C and lives in my travel bag along with one soap and a brush. I think that probably works out to less than £20 per year!
  11. Get yourself into the city centre, down the bottom by the rail station is a nice bar called Porters, worth a visit, has a free mini cinema along side. Some cracking bars as you move up town and an open ALL night steak only restaurant about a quarter the way down ‘chippy ally’. Look for events on in the stadium, it really is a shame you’ve missed the Rugby, it is a fantastic experience! http://www.principalitystadium.wales/events/index.php#.Wuz5WyvTWEc
  12. Pheasant or partridge? Out of interest how big are your pens, rough idea of length of perimeter and the shape. and how many birds are you releasing from each at the moment?
  13. the Earth is NOT round! Well not perfectly, it’s kinda egg shaped, being lager around the equator. seriously though there are some nutty conspiracy theories!
  14. I’d plumb straight for an 11mm cobalt, alter the pillar drill gearing for slow speed and use plenty of cutting fluid. Center pop the work first !
  15. This Scammers are trying all sorts, a friend recently had a phone call from an investment company he uses to clarify one point, he knew nothing about what they were asking him, turns out his email had been hacked, the hacker used his sent folder to find his previous correspondence to the investment company, copied and pasted together an email to ask for updates on account and transfer of funds, the email read exactly like you’d expect him to write, not some poor English that we’re used to from these scams! The scammer even set the receiving emails to delete so my friend would not be notified. If it wasn’t for one small discrepancy his money could have gone. Despite you not liking him may be a phone call is in order.
  16. Well zeroing and grouping will show the issue up, if there is one. I went through a period with mine attached to another scope and it was not reliable.
  17. First try zeroing and grouping with the archer attached. a small dab of tipex on some brown cardboard should show up well in the archer. If attaching the archer moves the zero then there is either parallax between archer and scope (loosen bayonet and try to manoeuvre and retighten) or the action is loose in the stock. if zero is correct but the grouping inconsistent then you need a stock comb extension to give your head proper support when looking through the archer. Hope this helps!
  18. As already mentioned, zero incorrect or parallax. Parallax could be caused by either the mate up between archer and scope or, possibly, from not having the support of the stick for your cheek. The archer is a brilliant bit of kit!
  19. Transits have a tendency to require a little welding one year then by the next the corrosion can be so bad it’ll be uneconomical to repair.
  20. I’m on the lookout for another log burner... but I have to assume that this one is not worth having seeing as the ad wasn’t worth writing, and the photos not worth posting...
  21. If you have a look in the manual you should see nozzle specifications, genuine danfoss nozzle are available on eBay at £8! Cheap enough to have a spare knocking around.
  22. In years to come many folk will ask why we were so split and why we were so blind to the obvious outcome of not coming together under one banner Also firmly believe that anyone who shoots should have insurance, this should be a stipulation, in the long run such legislation would benefit shooting.
  23. Apart from the acreage the layout sounds similar to mine, we managed just shy of 40% return on Pheasant and 29% return on partridge. How you set the partridge up is key for them.
