oowee

Fantastic what a great job you have made of this. You do know its a keeper? Too much work to let it go. Well done.

I had a few of those too but only allowed one at a time

But I guess you appreciate that there is a difference between cartridges and that often the same shell can be a two different price points? Then surely if someone is producing good quality product at the price you might pay for inferior shells then we all want some? Not bothered about the free shells myself but I use a lot and anything that gets a better shell at a lower price is good for me.

Seems to me that whatever happens at some point the thing will have to change. Some sort of monetary union for the euro currencies seems inevitable. Trade deals with big partners are never easy for the smaller partner however large they think they are. This is particularly true of energy security where a sharing grid looks to be vastly more cost effective than trying to build contingencies as an island nation. Maybe not in the current format but some way or another I think we need the strength that comes from a co-operative group.

Got any pups?

Still got it? Pm sent.

My first application was for a rented flat in Bristol. No problem. Then I moved to a house then back to a rented flat. Each time they just did the usual stuff.

Guns are worth to some one what they are prepared to pay. Either way it's just a few quid. I recently bought a hilux and recognising I had bought a bag of carp I traded at a big loss (ouch ouch ouch) four weeks later. Life's too short to spend time p.......g about get on and enjoy it if you can. Whilst some can spend days thinking and waiting others are out shooting. :-)

made me smile and Houdini makes a great name for a dog too.

Interesting chat in pub last night with Germans and some people from Netherlands. The Germans were happy with the recent immigrants as Germans would not do the work and with an ageing population they needed the tax to pay pensions etc. The Dutch said they had recently voted against a support package for Ukraine and expect it to lead to an in out referendum at some point. They all wanted EU reform.

Recently saw some excellent footage with a shot cam on YouTube and thought what a useful tool lets get one. Then I saw the price!! Anything else out there more reasonable? I like the aim mark feature

Terrible news. Best wishes to you and yours.

Very useful report I have now found a useful gun shop in Midsommer that has a good range of bullets so want to try out a few different types. I can't understand why there does not seem to be a range of energy full length shells running at 1050 fps? I have been using up some ammo to make space to try a few more rounds including some hyper velocity stuff. What is the fastest .22 lr round?

The only old pics I want to look at are those I dare not keep lol.

Just finishing up a four day trip to Berlin. Last night was on the top of the Bundestag with its beautiful dome and mirrored light well and realised we had taken zero pictures this trip. What would we do with them if we took them just more tat cluttering the place up.

Aw ww lovely.

What no crows no rooks? Better try harder lol. Another good one well done.

Welcome aboard

Good luck LG. At least you don't have to work in Government like I did. That's real work, lucky to even see the snow let alone walk in it.

Last week I was asked to shoot over some barley. The fields were the smallest I have ever seen planted. Maybe one to one and a half acres picking the birds was a nightmare. Anything traveling at speed had a good chance of coming down the other side of a hedge. Fortunately I did not shoot that many. If I see it fold it's one on the counter.

Happy birthday. Today is always the most important one. Make it a good one.

Everything worked out trade for trade and wife happy too what a dream start to the weekend.

PBS on pigeons is 45. PBS on crows was 117 on grass seed. Off to Africa end of May and hoping for a pb on lots of different species. I used to think 5 birds made a good day then 20 and so on. Now a good day is weather company views etc. still count the numbers though.

I just ate a curry wurst here in Berlin. My guess was that the sausage had never seen any animal product during its manufacture it was carp. I thought berlin would be fab for sausage! One of my farmers makes his own and we get all of ours from them.
