  1. Honda. If they made toothbrushes id have one.
  2. Crikey, imagine if it did, at least a 10 pager on here moaning about traffic police doing their jobs
  3. I stick some tape over the terminals of mine when it melted the inside of my coffee flask. It had shorted across the metal outside, welding itself onto it and melted the inner plastic cup. 3 inch of electrical tape sorts the issue or if your **** a nice little holder. I bet that was entertaining as you drove. ...
  4. In fact, if I don't seem him in the next season shouting "doddler" I'll be disappointed
  5. Don't ask you don't get
  6. The worry is with the wedding being in June and should he buy it now, would it fit? I hear he's taken to a more sedate pace in the cotswolds, lots more cream cakes and hobnobbing at Clarkson farm presumably to blame....
  7. Unless you know your size perfectly for a certain brand it is inadvisable to buy a suit online. There must be somewhere you can visit and try a few on. Alternatively carry more cartridges and burn a little of that tum off......
  8. For taste it has to be thighs over breasts no question. Especially for a curry.
  9. Hg mould spray will deal with that in about 30 seconds. Maybe change for some mould resistant silicone. Some is better than others. That's a couple of hours 1 weekend tied up for you.
  10. For years mum had a cupboard with stuff in it in such circumstances. When we moved in about 95 if I remember, we found an old tin of chocolate cake. About 20 years out of date. I ate it, it was factory fresh.
  11. Not a lot, just curious. It's normal diet is 8.4 gr jsb or superfields, easy thumbnail groups at 45 yards, sometimes a little tighter, wondered if the slugs would stretch it out a little or tighten the groups, maybe deform better, as I say, just curious and as I'm surrounded by some curious sorts on pw i figured others may have tried it before me.
  12. I had a 99s in .22 that was virtually recoilesss from the factory and easy to shoot accurately free hand. Admittedly this was 25 years ago and the quality may have changed but even so. I'm not sure the .177 is quite the same.
  13. I was curious as the h&n were 10.5 gr so not a lot heavier than some pellets, not sure if im 20 quid curious but I might be.
  14. Has anyone tried the 10grain h&n slugs out of a sub 12 ? Specifically an ultra se (thinking of you @Ultrastu ) . Curious if worth trying or not . The usual superfield/jsb domes do perfectly well but just wondered if they are worth a go.
  15. Gchq etc are not part of the mod but I get your point and it's not wrong. After the massive cyber attacks on infrastructure, GPS, power , Internet etc which Russia and others are very good at, it will be boots on the ground, ships projecting power at sea and planes in the sky that we will need. None of which we have very much of these days and all of which we won't be able to get after the teenage hackers have had their fun.
  16. It's a perverse situation when the mod is bigger than the armed forces, I can't quite fathom how it takes more to organise the fighting than it does to actually fight the war. The way Russia and others are carrying on it seems more likely than ever that war is indeed coming in one form or another. It takes a long time to build ships, train men and women and adequately provide for them. Things we just aren't doing and haven't done for a very long time but really should have started some time ago.
  17. Funny thing is it was 54% for the ban on a 5% turnout according to the radio. So 95% couldn't be bothered to vote and will no doubt have a jolly good time protesting all summer long.
  18. The police pension is not non contributory. Sadly.
  19. Everyone who can retire is. Some who really can't but are anyway.
  20. Won't get mine till 60. Thanks to Mrs May.
  21. Not 100% to be honest but from memory there is, I know index linking doesn't come in till 55. Either way it's a huge chunk of my pay for what was very good and is now not anywhere near as good. A lot of the new joiners opt out and that leads to a transient workforce who get their degree paid for and then leave after training or stay a few years and jog on elsewhere for a lot more pay. Seriously thought of jacking it in however where I live I'd be dreaming of a salary the same, after 20 years and lots of hoop jumping (no sniggering at the back) the kids and schooling cement me staying.
  22. He paid 14.% into it though and there is a penalty drawing it at 48, I don't think they can till 55 from memory. Either way I still pay 14% or there abouts into mine and have to work an additional 8 years thanks to the tories to get less back than I would have. It was ruled illegal but mysteriously the issue is still not resolved, I suspect it would have been if it was parliament's pension.
  23. I took my wife shooting, she's considerably better at it than me so I had to divert her with some kids. In fact i still use "her" lanber with an extension pad for 99.9% of my shooting. Can't have her bragging about nailing 60 yards Crossers that I missed (she did really nail them as well). Whenever I take a lady to a clay shoot or rare occasion to the pigeon hide, i always make a point of having them lean into the gun and often put my hand on their shoulder to reinforce the point. 2 shots and I take the hand away as normally they've got the idea. The few that worry about the recoil get a gentle nudge to show them there really isn't any. My experience is they don't all think they are rambo and actually listen when told what to do, they then pick it up at an alarming rate.
  24. Si vis pacem, para bellum I don't think hes wrong to raise it. Soldiers take a long time to train, when they are knocking on the door it's way to late. We've never been weaker. Significant investment is required across the board regarding armed forces, not necessarily conscription but that clearly wasn't his intent.
  25. It may have been but for someone to have the reach of accomplishing that in a secure area such as it is and not pick a method that would put the blame elsewhere or possibly not attract any blame would do them a discredit. No, the more i think of it the more I think he didn't want to be caged and took the easy option in a moment of opportunity. I don't think trump had anything to fear from the case and he was the president with loads of capital to gain by keeping him alive and you can bet he wanted it all to come out, drain the swamp and all that. No the more I think about it thr more I'm sure there was perhaps wlsome wishful thinking but no conspiracy. That detracts from the story. Each to their own though.
