I attended the last Waterloo Cup - a brilliant day. After future trials were banned the landowner had all the hares killed. Victory for the antis, but a bad day for over 1000 hares.

I wish we had a leader who was a tenth as good as Trump.

Very busy in the North West.

DWP have had access to individuals' bank accounts for many years - even those not directly claiming benefits. Recovering money from them is a newer feature.

Been to St Ives 45 times and had rain on two days. The odd overcast days, but mainly sunshine - sometimes too hot for me. That said - we do chose the warmer months - May to September.

Are you sure the action is free from debris. I would be taking the barrels off and use an air blower to clean it out. Hopefully it will then shut and open more easily.

Whilst I am no fan of the Labour Party, sex offenders rise to prominent positions in all parties, at local or national level. As concerning as that is, the cover up is almost as bad. At the moment, Labour appear to be supressing any attempt to bring offenders to justice.

BobbyH - good luck with your MP. I have written to ours a number of times, on some quite serious issues. I suspect the vast majority will do zilch.

I should be shocked, but Labour's performance, since winning the election, has sadly prepared me for this.

In one respect, it is a good result. Although most grooming gangs appear to be of Asian descent, it only right that all abusers face justice. It will also rebut the accusation that only Asian gangs are targeted. All these scum need to be off the streets permanently.

Sadly, if I go via the tunnel - my wife thinks it's too far to drive. She won't set foot on a cross channel ferry - she gets seasick on a lake. It's UK mainland from now on.

Westley - agreed.

In five months were are off to St Ives for the 46th time - we do like it. We will also be doing Devon, Dorset, Northumbria and Scotland. Eldest has a villa, with swimming pool, in Spain, but my wife has suddenly become averse to flying, so that is out.

Perhaps he could go into partnership with another "Royal gardener" - James Hewitt.

That makes disturbing viewing.

I bought a Bisley adjustable rifle pad, removed the heavily curved pad and glued a normal recoil pad onto it. Worked really well.

Nice to see a thread which doesn't divide opinion. 🙂 I can see this will run and run. Not as interesting as the "Will my cricket bat fit in the boot of my Mercedes SLK?".

I will admit to being surprised. I thought that you were already a member, Conor.

I too would be interested in the links.

Date of birth needs amending.

And so he should. Rayner is a disgrace as a Deputy Prime Minister. I am embarrassed for her.

It takes some doing, but she is giving it a go. You can see that she doesn't really comprehend what she is spouting.

Just read his sentence - not expected to ever be released.

I do wonder who fed Angela Rayner the nonsense that she trotted out. She isn't bright enough to have come up with her initial response, but is now taking stick (quite rightly) for her idiocy. Almost as if someone in the Labour loving Civil Service wanted her to look even more limited and thick.

Condition, tight action, clean bores, barrel length, choke?????
