  1. Last autumn when I had my renewal my GP charged for their services which I paid as it was £20 so not the end of the world. When my FLO came round for his visit I asked him about the medical fees and he said an alternative method that that Staffs accepted at the time was to sign up to see your medical records online and provide the details to the licensing team, this allows them to see your records warts and all but is free - its like getting a one time code to let someone see your driving license details when you hire a car Not ideal but if you are in the position where the GP is playing hard ball then it might be the only way and as long as you are OK mentally including stress related issues it should be enough
  2. Any steamed pud with custard, not the ready made stuff that you get today in cartons but the powdered version mixed with milk - it used to have more taste to it. From school dinners time it would have to be the chocolate shortbread with green mint custard
  3. Mine are between 4 and 5 years old - I have recently upgraded the ear cups to gel ones and that has transformed the comfort level - I had them on for over 6 hours the other day without any discomfort.
  4. ^^^^ This - all they did on my renewal is put a digital marker on my record that says that the police must be informed if I suddenly become unsuitable to own a firearm through stress or howling at the moon etc which is money for old rope
  5. And I thought my GP surgery were robing **** when they wanted £30 when I renewed last month 😮 My FLO did say when he came round to do my inspection that he had advised a few people who's GP's were playing sill beggars to ask the GP to see there own medical record and this is a free service - you get a code like letting someone view your driving licence - then you can give your FLO the code and he can see the records The only downside is that the FLO gets to see everything on file warts and all.
  6. I know from reading the Landy restoration threads and other motoring threads here that many of you appreciate the mechanical side of things - especially the "built not bought" mentality. The two guys that are building Project Binky which is an Austin Mini GT-Four hybrid (Turbo Charged and 4WD) are definitely mad but have some serious fabrication skills, they are currently up to episode 20 of the v-log and I've really enjoyed watching them get to where they are up to now and I thought you chaps might appreciate what they are doing Episode 1 here and their Youtube Channel is here N07
  7. Might be worth giving Tony a call, really nice chap - had a few lessons off him myself https://sites.google.com/site/clayshootinginstructor/about-us
  8. No, they are due tomorrow according to Amazon so fingers crossed
  9. I know a couple of people who have these safety glasses with the built in lens frames - they got their own optician to provide and fit the lenses to them https://www.topgunclothing.co.uk/shooting-glasses/premier-plus-protective-shooting-glasses At £30 + lenses they don't break the bank
  10. This link has some pointers of what to look for: https://canadianfirearmsblog.ca/identifying-counterfeit-impact-sport/
  11. That's if you buy them via the UK site - if you get them off the international site (via .com) they are £38 delivered including import duties and VAT
  12. No problem, mine are due next week so I'll let you know what they are like - my HL's are about 5 years old and the cups could do with a freshen up and hopefully they will seal better around the arms on my specs.
  13. You can get replacement cups for them off Amazon that are gel like the ones on the MSA Sordin ear deffenders http://www.valhollgear.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Valholl-Gear-Replacement-Impact-Headphones/dp/B0719D35HM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541032237&sr=8-1&keywords=Valholl+Gear
  14. Nilfisk here as well Is it just me or do the Sthil washers look just the same as the Nilfisk ones but just a different coloured housing
  15. The font used in the website is Karla, but is it the font used for the company name on the book cover \ logo in the menu bar that you are after? https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Karla
  16. Genuine Apple magic keyboard (British English) and magic mouse 2 set (2017) I've got 2 new unused sets that came with some iMacs that had to have a wired keyboard and mouse so these were surplus to requirements - £85 posted Magic keyboard Magic mouse 2
  17. I find it easier using a hosting site like photobucket then using the IMG link from under the uploaded photo paste it into the post and the pic is displayed when you preview \ submit it
  18. I use the anvil on the back of the bench vise as a striking block, I don't hold back in giving it a good whack and the Frankford one I have has stood up to the abuse - although if I have a few to do I will use the Hornady cam-lock as it's kinder on the ears and quicker
  19. I use one as the controller on my annealing machine to drive a stepper motor, controlled via a rotary pot Neil
  20. We have the Hikvision cameras at work and use the footage off them regularly for police evidence so I installed them at home - had them from Hikvision via their Amazon store and the 4mp ExIR cameras were £115 each and the 8 channel POE recorder was circa £160 plus a hard drive to put in it. The beauty of it is the simplicity of the set up as it is all just plug and play and the cameras are detected by the recorder automatically. The only downside is having to run a network cable between each camera and the recorder. The only thing I'd say is if you are having three or more cameras is to go for the 8 channel recorder if you are using the 4mp cameras due to the bandwidth available being twice that of the 4 channel recorder.
  21. Yes, put a loop of wire from pin 5 to 7, green and brown according to the list off the FL forum is the reversing light so not needed on the standard 7 pin plug - at the end of the day if the pin out is incorrect when it's connected up to test it then it's not the end of the world to swap the wires arround
  22. is the wiring in his hand on the second pic connected to the Landy then and he needs to wire them to the plug? If so a few mins with a multi meter should be all that's needed Found this on a Freelander forum: So that would mean the wiring of the socket should be: Black - ground - Pin 3 Green / red - left indicators - Pin 1 Green / white - right indicators - Pin 4 Green / brown - reverse lamp - not used Green / purple - stop lamps - Pin 6 Red / yellow - fog lamp - Pin 2 Red - side and tail lights - Pins 5 + 7
  23. It's easy enough to work out, and best of all no mastic is involved unless you want to put some on for comfort You can pick up the connections by the rear lights:
