  1. The legendary Felix Cavaliere. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr9-aIRB86s&...ted&search=
  2. What is barrel length and choke? Is it recoil or gas? Any marks inside barrel / chamber? Thanks.
  3. beerdeor - got a few Japanese cars in the fleet at work. No-one wants to drive them. We've had Nissan and currently Toyotas. You could not give them away. Dreadful ride, wallowy, sluggish, brakes don't inspire confidence. 05 plate is the oldest, so it is not as though they are elderly. Ford or Vauxhall are favoured drives.
  4. Bought an estate 3 months ago after a succession of 4 x 4's - lads have packed in Motocross, so I don't need a tower. Fast enough, 45mpg around town, 50mpg on holiday. Seats could have more lumbar support, but other than that - excellent. Only done 2000 miles, at purchase, now over 6000. Recommended.

    football teams

    Leeds United for my sins. Bad times for a once great Team.
  6. Sorry to hear about Webber and glad it wasn't worse.
  7. Police do a job like the rest of us. If people don't like getting caught, they could always obey the law.
  8. Apart from the organisation and the truly dreadful road, my real gripe is the targets. Too many are shot in a small gap and are very slow. It's more like rifle shooting than clays. Too many go into the sun. It lacks imagination.
  9. Bobt - harsh, but very accurate.
  10. Had some dealings with Chris O a few years ago. Top bloke, who knows his stuff.

    FAMOUS MEMBER

    Sadly, I am only famous in my own house.
  12. Top actor, top human being. Equal rights for all when it was not popular.
  13. The first time he meets a puncher with a chin - adios amigo Amir.

    speedway

    I went to Belle Vue in the days of Soren Sjosten, Cyril Maidment, **** Fisher, Sandor Levai, but nowadays am restricted to Sky. Jason Crump fan in last ten years. Top lad. Mark Loram was always watchable. Martin Dugard provided the most excitement - on or off the track.
  15. No connection to Trulock and Harris?? Might be worth contacting them. http://www.trulockandharris.com/
  16. And who would Dan be??:lol:
  17. It was my friend Mike and his wife who were staying at Gatehouse of Fleet, but the prints were within a mile of Murray's Monument Galloway Forest Park.
  18. A friend of mine has just come back from a holiday in Scotland. He came accross these footprints and wondered what had made them. He has had dogs all his life and knows his stuff. He thought these would have to be from a fair sized animal. The cigarette lighter is 3 1/4" - placed for scale purposes. The apparent claw marks were deep and sharply made. I spoke to Mike and his wife, Kath last night. Both were adamant that the animal was (in their estimation from the prints) larger than my Akita pup, which is ten stone. Mike said something which I have not really had experience of - that the animal appeared to be following in it's own footprints - ie the back leg landed in the print from the front leg. My explanation doesn't really do Mike justice, but he demonstrated using his hands. http://s155.photobucket.com/albums/s311/Go...nt=DSCF0460.jpg http://s155.photobucket.com/albums/s311/Go...nt=DSCF0461.jpg http://s155.photobucket.com/albums/s311/Go...nt=DSCF0462.jpg
  19. If a semi is your choice, my advice would be to use what you want. The late and great Jim Stafford shot 200 straight at DTL in a Home International, with a Remington 1100. I had the privelege to shoot against Jim - at Sporting - and on rare occasions - beating him. If an auto was good enough for him, it is certainly good enough for lesser mortals. Shooters are becoming spoiled when they can object to someone using an auto - stuff them.
  20. Leeds United fan - going through very bad times, but a fan of Kevin. I hope you do well next season. Genuine bloke - Kevin, with real love of football.
  21. It should be there tomorrow. There is a delay - sometimes hours, before listings appear. If it isn't there tomorrow - e-mail them.
  22. Eagleye. I have two Akitas - the pup is ten stone, so they need a fair amount of room. I can't see them strolling around the hotel somehow, but thanks anyway.
  23. Jonno - if you want to take dogs and have a secure garden / yard - you have to pay it. It was actually £580.71. I have put the dogs in kennels the once - never again. If I didn't take the dogs, I would not be self catering. I would have a nice time in a hotel, being waited on, swimming pool, bar. I would still have been in St Ives. I love the place. Nice atmosphere and no yobs. The Company have just e-mailed back. They are awaiting contact from the owner. They are checking what they were told at the start of the letting season by the owner, compared to what information is held in the property.
