I don't think it's actually law that they cant / wont reply if your not a constituent - but genreally, it's not really their job to respond to people they don't represent. Slightly diffrent re ministers, as that's a job on top of a job. My old MP use to screen corropondence in this way - they / their assistants only have so much time, and they always have plenty of letters / emails to get through.

I thought the proportions looked wrong for a .22 - it looks too fat for its length

Was there anything left of the partridges?

I'm not saying it will or it won't - only that in all likelihood it wasn't something legally held.

Photos of what look like pistol rounds left at the scene were in the news days ago - https://metro.co.uk/2025/02/15/manhunt-woman-seriously-injured-pub-incident-valentines-day-22564158/ I would be surprised if it was anything legally held at this point.

They aren't vile, but I wouldn't say they were the easiest cartridges on the shoulder. You certainly know you have pulled the trigger - but when I was shooting them, I was using quite a light weight side by side

Cheers 👍

Those look far superior to Gregg's

That's fair enough - I shoot with a number of people who can't stand to be in the same room as a curry. The pigeon meatballs are about 2/3 minced pigeon, with the remaining 1/3 made up of either pork belly or the fatty bits from those packs of 'cooking bacon' / off cuts that you can buy in the supermarket (also minced) - with whatever seasonings you want. You can also make it go even further if you want Italian style meatballs, which have bread (with the crust cut off, and soaked in milk) incorporated with the mince.

Thanks - curried meatballs are delicious. These are some wood pigeon meatballs / Kofta I made before Christmas 👍 👍 👍

'A good pinch' of saffron - but I do like saffron.... The recipe for the rice is - x4 table spoons of ghee, x3 cloves, x3 cardamon pods, x3 cinnamon sticks - all lightly fried in the ghee for a few minutes. Then add x2 cups of washed basmati rice, as well as a 'good pinch' of saffron, salt to taste, and a tin of coconut milk mixed with water to make it up to x4 cups - then cook the rice as you normally would (which in an AGA is bring it to the boil, and then put it in the simmering oven for 15 minutes with a lid on) Thank you - very kind

Last nights (not particularly quick) super

@Scrimshanker - out of interest, how is your gun holding up with your chosen cleaning regime?
