I'd buy that for a dollar.....!

Signed and passed on

Cracking video can I send you my 3 to sort out........

Blimey I've not seen or used an ABLJ like that for many moons.as Rupert says the horse collar is no longer used,as technogly has moved on to safer devices also the bladder inside is a type of plastic bag which I would imagine has become brittle with age and certainly I wouldn't dream of using or selling on as fit for use, last used one of the horse collars in the late 90s on a job in Saudi. The Reg is a very old model in its day it was one of the best you could buy,again although a simple mechanism this also probably needs a good inspection and service before use,that's if you can find a scuba shop who would be happy to service the Spiro reg. Please if you do put it on evil bay post it as in need of servicing or display only as these 2 items are classed as life support equipment,and if some numpty buys it and decides to use it without the correct training and equipment servicing it could open a whole world of pain for you. Regards SR.

I had a quote from them for a replacement front door,with sidelight panels standard locks....start price of £22000 by the time the fella left it was down to £7000!. Appreciate we all have to make a living but for a replacement front door.....!

Anthony Riches Has written a series of Books following a couple of Roman legionaries through a series of campaigns across the Roman Empire ,very easy reads and rip roaring blood and spit stuff. Keeps me entertained while offshore. Enjoy your hols SR.

Probably!, and we will no doubt get lumbered with the cost of travel expenses for family visitation rights!.

I got some top gifts,my children gave me a very nice cartridge bag, my wife got me a top present of a new a Barbour Garrowby jacket. Totally unexpected on all fronts but my best present was to be at home with my family, as for the past few years I have worked away over the Christmas period. so on that note I'm off to iron my shirt and fill my flask,all the best for 2015 and safe shooting to you all. SR.

Scallop and black pudding with a cauliflower puree Venison with a cherry jus and seasonal veg Cheese board with a bottle of port to hand....! ;-)

Harry rougher's here over the moon as it means a port call and no petrol budgie of death for me! ;-)

Congratulations to you both echoing Big Al,make every moment count as they grow up so fast,it won't seem like a heartbeat and you'll be vetting the boyfriends!. All the best.

http://www.irata.org/training_certification_scheme.php this link my help you, I think you will find if it's not properly organised by somebody qualified in rope access you might find yourself at the wrong end of the line!.

I know it can be really harsh at times....!, ;-) although on some vessels the Sunday afternoon lunch can put some of the finest restaurants to shame. And others you'd be lucky if your dog would eat it. Enjoy :-()

Maxie, I know that feeling!:-() I am just very glad that it has been fixable and not just me!, I am sharing it with my son who has not had a problem with it,and it turns out people with dyslexia/dyspraxia (development coordination disorder) ,have no problem using left or right handed tools devices!.

Just out of interest Decoy, did she end up having the pups indoors?, and Don't forget to post us pics!! :-)

True Willpoon although I'll have to wait until next week, :-( just re-read my reply Willpoon and Scully please no offence was meant or taken in my reply to your questions,I genuinely never thought to ask or even know to for check the cast(although I will do from now on with my next purchase),and the lever opened as I have been used to using a club shotgun.

@Willpoon no I didn't notice as it was labeled as Right hander as a novice buying his 1st shotgun I wouldn't think to check and would /did take it at face value!. @Scully the cast on from barrel tip to stock was approx an 1 1/2" half and the top lever opened as normal as I think if it opened differently I would defiantly have said something.

Afternoon, I had a lunchtime lessons with Sam at Greenfields, as I was worried about my appalling hit and miss on a round of clays, and also in the field!. I bought a Silver Pigeon 30" back in February from a local gun shop, all was well the shotgun was brand new and so the case came wrapped in the cardboard box all marked Right hand but low and behold after only firing off half dozen shots at a going away clay,got an all stop from Sam and a 'do you mind if I have a look at your gun!'.turns out the guns a left hander!!, after finishing my lesson on a right handed club gun which improved my hit miss ratio by quite a bit! :-). I phoned GMK and clarified that it went out marked as a right hander,off to the gun shop for what a I thought would be my word against them,but fair play after a bit of a leg pull over what instructors know and don't know,I get a b¥$%# me sorry it is a left hander we will get straight on this and have it sent back?. So for all us new/novice shooters do not be afraid to ask and double check on the kit you are about to buy or use. Sorry ift this is a bit long-wind.

2 stay holiday is the way to go,we've done xx days in Singapore,and then the rest was done in the Maldives,top trip my wife and Children were very happy got some culture shopping more shopping,and then a nice beach holiday!.

Whybro, I have been through this with my own son last year(14 at the time)with Kent police,yes went through the whole process with School references and the experience of the young gun days he had taken part in and his CCF training all helped, FEO interviewed my son as normal,no problems although the issuing of the licence did take quite awhile 6 months from start to finish.

Haha quality!.

Many thanks for your help,I'll crack on with the repair in the morning probably minus the Thread loc (not in my tool box). Cheers.

Hi All, After a bit of help just given my shotgun the once over,as it's been in the cabinet for a few weeks unused,and I've noticed that the front bead is loose/wobbly,is it something I can re tighten or repair myself I don't want to go in all heavy handed if it's not DIYable repair. the gun is all but brand new and still under warranty, Regards.

Look on the bright side fellas,we did didn't come last and also beat the French!!, .

39TDS, I can't see a reason why you wouldn't be able to put it against your tax,as it's a tool for your job as a farmer. I can claim back on Rolex divers watch,supposedly yearly but never chanced it. :-)
