Haha by that logic your argument stands for Hamilton being a 'journeyman' too. As he has yet to win anything of significance in a car which has not been the best on the grid. But if Hamilton is a true great, Rosberg is even greater - by simply beating Hamilton in the same car for a full season...

Yeah - I thought they finished a few points back from McLaren in the end... sadly it was a few years ago now and a lot has happened. IMO Button is a greater driver than Hamilton will ever be, it's a shame he is only a 1 time champion. I dislike how Hamilton takes nothing to do with the GPDA, and isn't even a member. Bloody poor show from a world champion

Button should have had the 2004 title (IIRC). He and his car were the fastest all season - but his downfalL was team strategy. IF he had pitted when Ferrari pitted Schumacher at almost every race he would have won. Instead he finished the season off the pace behind Ferrari and McLaren... Sometimes it's not all about the best driver, it's about being in the team which can deliver. Alonso is another prime example of this, as he is comfortably the best driver on the grid - IMO.

+1 His attitude stinks. The majority of the other drivers do not like him which is fairly telling IMO - even Button has said recently things were not as good as it seemed whilst at McLaren with him, and Button gets on with/is liked by everyone!!

I bought my RAV4, it was on Bridgestone Dueler HT's. They are rated as poor for pretty much everything yet I've driven in bad snow and severe rain (flooding) and light off roading with it (muddy tracks and across fields) and they served very well. Never struggled in the snow at all when cars couldn't get up slopes... Only time I didn't like the tyres - which have now been changed - was a lack of grip when they were very well worn.

Just taken delivery of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06WGQ2Q85/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_3p_dp_1 Very impressed for the price. Fit as expected, feel really good on. Looking forward to getting a lot of use out of them (mostly for work).

ASE Utra here too. Complete pain to clean... but I like it and think it works very well (on both my lr and HMR).

Jings you guys pay a fair bit to get your hair cut. £4.80 here - regardless of what you want. 3 women run the shop together, 2 of them have been there 20+ years and worked for the old boy who had the shop before them. Mind you, I still have my own clipper at home. Depends what mood I'm in whether they get used or not...

It's always been religion, and you'd be naive to think it's anything else. Theres many fans - alot of young lads - sing songs of sectarian hatred, and have no idea what it even means. Their old man, or whoever took them to their first games sung these songs so we sing them... the whole it's them against us is engrained in alot of them, and other than thinking it's local rivalry, they have no idea why. The vast majority of Scotland is ashamed of the sectarianism which goes on. But when almost every football club was founded by a church. Sadly it's very hard to get away from.

Why not combine the two... Tory, Labour, LibDem play each other twice at a game of footie... who ever wins rules the country

Pretty sure I did say that... you just went off on one. Aberdeen fans were attacked. They didn't start it and, as far as I am aware, they did not retaliate either. If you wanted footage of violence maybe you should've found the Motherwell - Celtic game from 3(?) years ago where Celtic fans started destroying the stadium. Or Aberdeen - Rangers from 2003(?) when Rangers fans firstly injured Aberdeen players, then tried to attack the fans... +1

I'm not getting sensitive... just explaining my statement. You were the one jumping telling me to get my head out of the sand. I was talking in Scotland... because of the Celtic link. And FYI Aberdeen fans were not involved. They were attacked. And not even by fans of the opposition club they were playing that week.

My head isn't in the sand. Scottish football is on the whole pretty peaceful, except for the carry on from the carry on with 2 Glasgow clubs. Which is what we were talking about...

And what did those fans do to Manchester in 2008?.. It did... ...apart for Glasgow. Sadly.

SAK does the job fine... I have an ASE Utra, which is very good. The weight isn't an issue - but cleaning it is a pain in the backside

Agree with you. If they would put the cars on real tracks, instead of street circuits, I think it would be a very good series. I understand the thought process - street circuits keep the cars closer, to each other and the fans... but there's not much overtaking or excitement. Once you get over the lack of noise and accept it is something different, it is watchable. Itl be interesting to see it develope.

I was going to say CZ every time... Till I remembered the last time, when I bought a PUMA haha But yes, CZ!!

As the lead car under the SC he has a duty to SAFELY keep a certain pace behind SC and not over duely back up the pack. Hamilton almost got caught out under the first SC and only just crossed the line in time. Although he technically did nothing wrong, by not accelerating - thus not progressing away from the corner, it could be questioned how safely he led the pack. To slow right down before and crawl through the corner would be a different scenario. But 99% of drivers in Vettels position would EXPECT the lead car (Hamilton) to use his accelerator. In the heat of the moment I have no doubt Vettel genuinely believed Hamilton brake tested him, which is why he saw red. Even though everything since has shown Hamilton did not. The 2 touches - neither cars were damaged. Neither cars were pushed off the road, and both finished the race. It's hardly a sensationally dangerous encounter some are making out! Suck it up, move on. No punishment needed.

That is not a branded tractor. It is just a generic tractor shaped, coloured toy. Is there no toy manufacturers stamp on the underside?

Not sure what model my Hawke is - but it's a 6-24x50ao IR and is 4 years old. It's pretty good at dusk. At night, on lower mag - upto 12x or 15x it's very good. But if you crank up the magnification beyond that it gets poorer. But iv never got it above 9x at night so I'm happy with it. It's a good scope on my HMR

Just for the craic, I will put my tin hat on and say: save all your pennies and buy a PUMA .22 Yeah, the plastic stock feels cheap and nasty. It's obviously not as plush as even a CZ but I really like mine. I have a CZ452 in HMR and love it. Didn't have the budget for a new rifle so went looking for 2nd hand. My 2 local RFDs didn't have anything nice that seemed decent value, compared to new price. Then one had a brand new puma 16" for £150. The thing is more accurate as me and I batter it around on the quad bike and in the land rover on the farm and don't worry about damaging it one bit. Perfect budget worker as far as I'm concerned.

Huge +1

Iv a pair of Hawks 12x25 compacts. Can't remember what they cost, but I think it was around £20. They are really good for what they are. Stay in my jacket pocket year round

Are these using li-ion batteries? Look decent kit for the price... Clulite website says due to popularity the PLR500 is temporarily out of stock.

I need to try some of that!! (also needing to try Morgan's Black)
