Thanks for the replies fellas. I spent awhile with it last night and just can't figure out how it's done. Ive read the instruction book and still cant get my head around it. Ive tried the setting icon which takes you into the radio settings and ''manage favourites. Ive got as far as (pick something to save) but I've pressed the Audio icon and it saves Audio into the number I've chosen. I just can' t see how to save the stations. Just after having an old friend call who is an insignia driver ''although he was in another car today'' He told me he just tunes to a station and then presses the number on screen to save. This is the most obvious and practical way it has always has been done ,so maybe there is an issue with the screen as it doesn't work for us. The Dealer we bought the car from is a few hours away but there is Opel/Vaukhall dealer not to far away so I may give them a shout if I dont get it sorted. The Pigeon Watch massive rarely disappoints when seeking answers to something so thats why I put it out there. Thanks for the replies👍

The Wife who is more techy than I has her phone paired up with it. I will show what you have put as she will understand it more. Vaukhall/Opel seem to play about a lot with Specs ect..! This Car is the Limeted Edition 163bhp and basically is the facelift SRI with the absence of rear tinted windows. They have giving the car extras like heated front seats,heated sports steering wheel and then take away rear electric windows🤔 I'll have another play about with it when the Wife gets home this evening and show her your advice on the Phone apps. Thanks.

You would think that would be the case but it doesn't seem to work for us. We also tried giving it voice commands to do so but to no avail. Everything else on the screen seems to work so I doubt it's a issue with the screen. Another thing is despite having the 8'' touch screen we assumed it would have Sat Nav. However the Sat Nav icon is not present on the Screen or trip computer. A strange one but that does not bother us so much as we can use or phones. Thanks.

So we recently got an Insignia and it has an 8'' touch screen on the dash. I'm having trouble saving my favourite radio stations. Ive tried online and watched youtube videos but none have any info on what I'm looking for! As in older cars you just had to hold on your usually 1-6 buttons for a few seconds and it would save into the device. There are no buttons on the dash of the Insignia to do this. The previous owners radio stations are saved as they come up along the bottom of the screen but pushing on them to save what I want saved does not work! Anyone know how it is done? Thanks.

I have such a wide and varied taste in music,so it's pretty hard to pinpoint 5 songs,but I'll give it ago with a few of my favourites. 1- Raglan Road by Luke Kelly. Fantastically written and fantastically performed. (And I've been there) 2- The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkle. Again a brilliant song and brilliantly performed. 3- El Paso and Big Iron both by Marty Robins. Love old Westererns and like these probable stories sung by a man with a voice that does them justice. 4- Objects in the rear view mirror by Meatloaf. Being a Meatloaf fan anyway,I just think this a powerful and touching story that plays with the emotions. 5- Down by the River by Bruce Springsteen. Another very probable life story.

He seems a lost cause! Another George Best only with half the talent Best had! It's sad to see any human being doing that to themselves though.A terrible addiction/disease.

Ah ok👍 Most Irish outside of Rugby find it pretty ''Cringe'' though. That said when it's played before a rugby game I be down on my knees with a child linked on either side of me belting it out! (Shoulder to Shoulder 🎶🎶)😀 Forget baby 🦈 we now have Santa Shark 🎅🦈 dit di dita di 😁

Do you mean the Irish ''Rugby anthem''? Or the actual Irish National anthem? I always find the Welsh anthem kind of sad yet beautiful and passionate. (I don't know what it means though) It always reminds me of the torture scene music in the spaghetti western (The Good,the bad and the ugly). Edited to say most hated song-Anything by Adele!

Don't know if any of you have seen the stunning picture captured in Wicklow earliar this week. A Merlin believed to be fresh down from Iceland attacking a Kingisher. It showed a perfect shot of the Merlin hovering above the Kingfisher whom was struggling in the water. The report said that some crows started to mob the Merlin and the kingfisher managed to escape to safety. It was on an Irish birding sight on FB.

Thanks for the advice fellas👍 I usually just operate with trial and error in the field. I had a duck load that I was happy with that added a lot of confidence to my shooting. I had what I have now before! And being a pretty expensive cartridge I just didn't have the same confidence as with other ones. It could be a simple case of changing chokes ''which I rarely ever do'' . I also bought some expensive steel shot to try out as it is looking ever likely that our days are numbered with lead shot here! I hope it will not be the case.

Fairly comfortable victory for Ireland and a place in the QF. Gotta feel for Bundee Aki though as his world cup is now over. Fine margins indeed!

Thank you gents for the answer and advice.👍 I can't get hold of my favourite duck load and have got some new ones and also some steel cartridges that I want to see what they are doing through the SP chokes in my gun. Thanks again.

Ok I feel a bit silly asking this question, but I'll ask anyhow. When marking out the 30inch circle on paper or cardboard with a nail and string, do you measure out 15inches from centre point? therefore when you have the circle completed you will have a 30'' circle. Or do you measure out 30 inches from the centre point? Seems like a novice question but it's something I'm not 100% sure on. Thanks.

Nothing wrong with your technique on that crossing bird! Good shot! The next gun obviously didn't have the manners you had on your first video.

Ah ok. As I said I am not familiar with the do's and dont's of driven days. I'm not criticizing,and I'm only offering some advice on shooting tecnique. I understand that you were being mannerly as the duck veered off and offered another gun next to you a shot.My advice still stands on your mounting the gun too early though (even for the Ist bird) . And secondly as I have learned very early in my shooting career, it is not wise to switch birds at the last minute as it usually results in a miss or in your case ''bumming that duck'' as you were shooting behind. As I said I was only offering a friendly piece of advice on fluent shooting.👍

Should be an interesting last 20 mins or so!

That was interesting! The fact Fiji got the conversion points without actually taking a kick. Speeds the game up! Is that always the case? or just a rule implemented for the World Cup? It's all going pear shaped for the Welsh.

I know little of driven days as I've never been on one. But your correct in saying you should have went for that higher crossing duck. Also from what I can gather you mounted your gun to soon and were pointing ! Maybe a few rounds of skeet would help with your technique. Move,mount, shoot is the way to go as it is all done in a fluent fashion. I'd imagine it was a great experience all the same. If you had of hit one of them ducks I'm sure it would have looked liked an exploding feather pillow.

I like that! Looks a simple enough recipe with an excellent result!

Really enjoyed watching that again! I love them old films. I felt privileged to have had a pint in that old pub that's full of character. There is a photo of ''Herbie'' with a 4bore and some pinks in front of his cottage in a book. Alistair Mitchell's (Goose Shooting) possibly! Or one of Phil Grays books' who incidentally was/is of the same type of Fenman as Ernie James.

Common sense is a great attribute IMO I am mostly always mindful of of where and when I'd send a dog. I was brought up on that if you shoot a bird then every effort possible should be made to retrieve it. I recall one really stormy winter's night when I was a teenager, shooting from a safety embankment that separated the sea and the brackish lake. The waves where churning up and crashing against the embankment. Truth be told it was a bit careless on my part as it got dark very quickly and as the flight was near over I shot a duck that landed well out in the drink. I looked at the water and then at the dog and just said no way are you going in there! Whilst talking with another older fowler on the way back across the bank and as I relayed the story to him,he said he wouldn't be feeding a dog if wasn't gonna make him work for it. I told my father the story when I got home and he said I made the correct decision and not to be listening to boys like that. I would be the panicking type when dogs are in difficult conditions in the water and am always happy to get them back safe and sound.

I think the commentator on RTE summed it up, by saying he always had enough pressure on with other areas of his game without adding the captaincy. A very intelligent player with a super right foot and dare I say possibly better than Ò Gara was!

Sexton doing what he does and making his presence felt. Keep it up Ireland.

This. And when speaking of a Drake Pintail the American term is a Bullsprig. When it comes to pheasants a lot of men I know call them''Roosters'' even men from my fathers generation.

So true this! Not everyone understands them sentiments though. Like yourself I've had some wonderful close up experiences with birds of prey,animals ect! I once sprained my neck whilst waiting in a hedgerow one morning waiting on geese. I was wearing a balaclava and a Sparrow hawk came diving straight for my face and I had to duck quickly and that's how I sprained my neck. Another night whilst shooting under the moon, I watched a long eared owl hunting close by and it attacked something in the drainage dyke and broke the surface of the water and the ripples looked magic in the moonlight. The same night a fox trotted past on top of the bank just yards away unaware of my presence. I've also had seals pop up beside the boat on early morning ventures on an ebbing tide. I often see Peregrine falcons and had a good view of one on the 1st morning this season. I like the artwork of the Puntgunner in Payne Gallweys book after the gunner had taken a shot and a Peregrine turned up over head. (Take one and welcome you splendid fellow) As it could be said we are hunting in company! Yes sir!there is certainly more to Wildfowling than just shooting.
