  1. Right now, I don't need anything to find the water in my fields...?
  2. Yep! Use them for finding field drains. Work very well
  3. Gutted!! If only I was closer ?
  4. It's so boring... Another vote here for the CZ. 452 Varmint in 20" is my one.
  5. Aye, sorry... I just like bursting dreams ? +1 to that. Price alcohol out of reach, they will move to drugs...
  6. I daresay they are decent vehicles, but a very marmite design IMO... I can't make up my mind about them. But - for a 'budget' brand to come in and offer big boy 3.5t tow capacity Mitsubishi will need to pay attention.
  7. It's a Labour policy which - rightly or wrongly - has cross party backing in Holyrood. Thisis being enforced by ALL Scottish parties, not just the SNP. The Tories in Westminster looked at setting minimum pricing not that long ago (under Cameron)... mark my words - it will eventually be rolled out across the whole of the UK, same as the smoking ban was.
  8. It's a MINIMUM pricing... Prices will not drop if already above the new minimum.
  9. No problems, you're welcome It's too good a price not to share around.
  10. Hey guys just a heads up - anyone thinking a spare 10-shot mag for their CZ452 HMR/WMR would be handy, Riflemag's are doing them for £12.95 which is £17 less than usual!? Link: https://riflemags.co.uk/cz-10-round-17hmr-22wmr-magazine-452-453/
  11. It had supposedly moved back towards a built up area, so the danger to public safety had gone from 'moderate' to 'severe'. The Lynx Trust are still in full blown denial. According to them on Friday it would only take a sheep every 5 or so weeks... but in their proposals for release at Kielder they said a Lynx would only kill 0.4 of a sheep a year.
  12. Works perfect, cheers! Now very happy with the new layout
  13. Old one, I just hit the thread title and it took me to first new post. Will bear this in mind though and try next time, so thanks.
  14. Before the update - when logged in (on mobile) if there's new posts on a thread I've previously read, when I click on that thread it took me to the first new post... now it just goes to post #1 and I've to make my own way to newest post/posts. Site is fine otherwise, i just find that a little annoying
  15. At what point did I say you were an expert? But yes - domesticated pets (dogs) kill sheep every year, yet we are told this lynx couldn't possibly do this because it's never had to hunt for its food...
  16. I wasn't shooting the messenger lol my initial post was just to clarify where the NSA had gotten their image/info from. There was a big cat running wild around here, back in 2005 (verified sighting by responding police officers, after it being phoned in). There were several such killed ewes found around the district over the course of a week. Throat ripped open with various claw marks on flanks where they had been pulled down. No ewes, which were found killed, had any signs of been eaten in any way.
  17. Why would the govt vet lie? If it had been an NSA paid vet, you'd have more grounds to question the finding. Regardless of whether it's a lot, or not... the official finding is - after what is effectively a public inquiry (govt. paid post mortem) - the sheep were killed by Lynx/big cat. I'm just getting a bit sick of all the internet experts on this subject.
  18. The sheep have been post mortem by a Govt. vet, on behalf of the Welsh Assembly. The Govt. vets conclusion is the animals were killed by a Lynx or 'big cat'. But hey... they've just made it look like a Lynx attack
  19. Shotgun - my Browning B26. I just love how it feels. I hit much more than I miss! And the ones I do miss are definitely my fault between the ears, as I'm still learning... Rifle - CZ452 HMR. Had it 11 years now and can't see myself ever selling it.
  20. +1 on the Rav4 I have a 55plate 4wd, so obviously a lot older than the age in the OP, but it is a great car. Without doubt if/when I change, I will be getting another. It's a Toyota... what more needs to be said?
  21. Are you on Facebook? Search Rum Festival. They tour all over the UK, did Glasgow early June and Edinburgh last weekend of September. The stands were quite informative and told the story behind their rums... there was a good turnout, comfortably busy without having to wait for samples/drinks
  22. I went to the Edinburgh Rum festival 4 weeks back... (£12 ticket for 15-20 free shots of rum to 'sample' plus 150 rums to choose from and drink at the bar) Thoroughly recommend Cloven Hoof and Parlay rums. I can't remember much after having them, and the 3 on the Pussers stall...
  23. I know. I was just playing Devil's advocate putting the argument which was put forward into perspective - stats never lie, and when all is said and done Rosberg beat 'one of the greats' in the same car... Hamilton isn't doing anything different to what Vettel did at Red Bull and I've seen many discredit him due to his success being just because of how dominant the Red Bull was. Well, the exact same could be said of Hamilton and the Mercedes... The sport is in a bad place IMO. Too few teams can actually compete for race wins - never mind titles. Prime example, 20 years ago Hill almost won in Hungary in an Arrows - an Arrows!! You had Benneton, Jordan and McLaren fighting for race wins against Williams and Ferrari... we have been lucky to have 2 teams fight for a title this year!
