Lupin?

Good man. I bet he suffered every second of the day.

Probably need to in order to replace what's been given. The years of under funding and and asset stripping from all parties have hardly left the cupboards well stocked. Can't rely on nukes alone and regardless of all the technology it always will resort to boots on the ground. Especially when the tech is turned off.

Well I bought some jsb slugs .177 in 10g flavour. Same weight as the jsb heavy the ultra se loves. And I mean loves.
As an example the heavies will group around the size of my finger nail at 40m from a bipod. At 20m they tend to just make a slightly larger than pellet sized hole.
The slugs as predicted don't like the mag, they don't hate it either and do function but a single shot tray would be better. Grouping wise the jury is out, thru the mag they are about half inch to 3/4 at 40m so considerably bigger grouping than the heavies but usable, putting one in the mag at a time they are slightly tighter. Not really conclusive as I only put 60 down the range before rain and dinner stopped play. I will say the holes they punch are like flat heads and very small.
Enough time to poke some into a piece of 3x3 and compare to the pellets. They seem to penetrate about the same, when fired at a metal target plate they flattened out like crazy, far more than the heavies. The lead seems softer overall, particularly around the skirt. They impact about the same poi but slightly to the right. A little more time and a single shot tray will tell.

Honda. If they made toothbrushes id have one.

Crikey, imagine if it did, at least a 10 pager on here moaning about traffic police doing their jobs

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. ...

In fact, if I don't seem him in the next season shouting "doddler" I'll be disappointed

Do what the girls do, order several different sizes and wear what fits for his wedding and return them all on the Monday morning..................
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....

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......

For taste it has to be thighs over breasts no question. Especially for a curry.

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.

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.

What are you hoping they'll do that pellets can't? Jsb heavy do everything I want.
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

If it kicks of properly, all put war, the ‘geeks’ and people who likely have autism, sat in GCHQ and MOD facilities around the UK will be able to do more damage to Russia than a soldier with a rifleGchq 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.
-
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.

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.

I think that there would be with some policies, maybe not others. Similarly most policies where the beneficiary contributes, tax relief is claimed on the contributions. If you start the pension too early, you may have to repay any tax relief. The rules are often complex and have changed over time, but there are both 'scheme rules' for different schemes and 'tax rules' which would again depend on who pays and whether any tax relief was claimed on payments. Not sure how the tax rules apply where the scheme is non contributory.
The police pension is not non contributory. Sadly.

I get sick of being told how wonderful my pension is, the fact that I paid into it every 4 weeks for almost 30 years is irrelevant ! 🙄
Everyone who can retire is. Some who really can't but are anyway.

I got my FULL pension at 55, and topped up my income from investments until I was 65, then I received my State pension. I also did some driving for the Locum Service for a few years, but a couple of minor strokes stopped that !
Won't get mine till 60. Thanks to Mrs May.

30-70million per year by cars (1994). Lots more cars on the roads these days.
A newer article suggests 194m across Europe.
