  1. Brake fluid is the only thing in that area. Check it now. No brakes is no fun - trust me. Brake pedal should be getting slightly spongy.
  2. I would not do it. You would be cheating your employer and colleagues. More to the point, it is a criminal act of dishonesty - you would lose your licence.
  3. Exactly - why seek a problem which can be avoided. There are no winners in these situations.
  4. If I took that amount of coaching, I think I would be straighting everything. You cannot get a picture in your head for every clay thrown. DTL, Skeet etc, but not for Sporting. It's technique, mental picture, experience, watching the clays properly and a whole lot more. It's simplistic to write things off as gun fit or lack of a mental picture.
  5. Looks a couple of hundred over the odds to me, but if you had to have it done - you were between a rock and a hard place.
  6. I'm with Zapp on this. Guns are not like cars - they last a whole lot better. Let someone else take the first price hit. A good secondhand gun will be fine. I have owned in excess of 50 guns - with probably about ten new ones in there. After I shot them once, they were secondhand and worth a lot less.
  7. Has anyone any information on this event - Bolton - Greater Manchester? Worth a visit - garbage? A mate in Yorkshire is thinking of having a weekend over here to attend.
  8. There is nothing wrong with F3's gun fit or shells. Perhaps his and my age could be a factor, but that is still a lot of clays. I've shot 300 plus a few times and it was enough.
  9. Are these mobil chokes or Optima?
  10. Mexico have few stars, but showed us what it is to pull on the shirt and represent your country. Quick and combative. Rooney, Gerrard. Lampard - world class??? You're 'avin' a larf. :look:
  11. Sue him on line. I have successfully sued quite a few people / firms. http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/infoabo...laims/index.htm
  12. For a pointless thread - this could run and run. Getting more weird with each post. Mungler - on the money. :(
  13. Just an observation. Not only of this forum, where I have to say I've not seen hardly any, but others in general. When someone makes a point or starts a thread that others don't like or have a difference of opinion, people start on about grammar and spelling. Unlike when it's some thing they agree with, they never correct the person's bad spelling or use of grammar. A bit petty I think. Too damn true. That's people for you. :(
  14. Is it trap, skeet, game, sporter? Barrel length?
  15. I too await the response. I think we are getting half a tale. Incidentally 48 hours per week (total) - EU Directive. There are other factors and it's not as straightforward as just counting one week.
  16. She kept it hidden under her matress - why? She has never handed it in. She decided to keep it and now she pays the price. Whilst others getting off lightly is dreadful, I have no sympathy for her. She couldn't convince the judge who heard all the facts. I could not say the judge got it wrong when I know only a fraction of them.
  17. If you have taken out the thermostat, there isn't much left. Blocked rad / pipes - flush them out - or perished impeller. I have seen the odd one that had perished almost completely.
  18. Not being petty. The grammar wasn't bad - it was awful. P.S. The congratulations still stand.
  19. If you are right handed, the birds to your left are easier to swing on to. If you are going to your right - try speeding up a little and keep going - don't stop when you pull the trigger.
  20. Horatio - no need to get snotty - I'm sure we were waiting in awe for news of the vintage scroll and titanium hangar and trigger upgrade. I certainly was. Perhaps the money would have been better spent on grammar lessons. PS - well done with the result.
  21. DSS Rifles Ltd - Broomhill Farm, Broomhill Road, Old Whittington, Chesterfield, Derbyshire. S41 9EA. Tel: 01773-875 514, Mobile: 07789-488 062 ... Don't know anything about the shop - sorry.
  22. I appreciate we are only talking about a rivet gun, but this post says it all about shooters. If you are stuck - people will help. Well done to all who did something or offered.

    Passports

    I have come across people with ten passports - none genuine - with various photos of them, with / without a moustache, short hair, long hair etc.
  24. Just read that Brian May is now back tracking. Perhaps his agent has been telling him about public relations disasters and the effect on sales of poor records.
