  1. I'm watching the match and they mentioned everyone had to show proof of vaccination before gaining entry to the ground.
  2. In the de Menezes case the officers had a judgement call to make on the info given and an innocent man died. But it could have so easily been the other way around, he could have been a suicide bomber and the officers judgement call could have been different and dozens could have died.
  3. I was in a similar situation. I was 16 and working for a dairy and started at 3.00, for the first few weeks I got stopped on a number of occasions but then it just stopped.
  4. For the armchair experts who think killing someone is just a matter of shooting them in the head.... Tomorrow is the 39th anniversary of the shooting of the Israeli ambassador to London . He was shot in the head with a 9mm, his attacker was shot in the head with a. 38 by his police protection officer. Both men survived.
  5. You mean let them detonate on a crowded bus just to confirm it's a real bomb.
  6. Problem is too many play x-box and become experts. Why did it take so many rounds to actually kill him? Some are questioning the shooting ability of the police but sometimes it takes a lot to stop a target with loads of adrenaline pumping around. In the Falklands on Tumbledown some Argentinians had 7.62 SLR rounds in them but kept coming and kept firing. Its amazing what it actually sometimes takes to stop a person.
  7. I was on a bus the other day and there was more than 16 passengers, was that just the frantic pursuit if the pound?
  8. Surely the number 16 is irrelevant without further details
  9. I've watched many programmes on discovery and national geographic and often see bear being eaten. As for trichinosis I seem to recall reading a shooting magazine a few years ago and they had an article about shot wild boar having to be tested before entering the food chain.
  10. Due to distance I'm not interested in joining you. But well done on making the offer. Rat shooting is great fun and is a great door opener for other opportunities.
  11. Nothing like a bit of victim blaming, someone near me fought back when they were raped and had their head bashed in with a brick. But I suppose they could have stopped it if they wanted to.
  12. If we entered such a league Mike Ashley would be happy finishing bottom every season. He'd pay mediocre wages, buy second rate players and just happily lose every game and pick up millions in tv money.
  13. No longer the special one. How do you feel about a super league, I've just heard that Florintino Perez (Real Madrid) is going to be chairman with a 3 member (American) sub committee of Glazer (Man U), Henry (Liverpool) and Kronke (Arsenal).
  14. Don't be negative and don't give up. Get around your local shoots looking for beating and offer to help out. Once your face gets known you'll soon pick up offers of shooting trips.
  15. Is it newcastle wildfowlers you are joining
  16. I notice you are from Prudhoe, plenty of farmland west along the A69. Have you tried out Corbridge, Stocksfield or Ponteland. Failing that have a look at Newcastle wildfowlers, they have access to pigeon shooting and inland fowling (although there are one or two on here who will be insulted by calling it fowling). They also hold monthly meetings and social events (dog scurries, clay shoots, BBQ). A good place to go and meet like minded people, and if you are mad enough they'll even arrange a few guided trips to lindisfarne.
  17. Don't just limit yourself to beating at one place. I have one place where I attend every shoot and a few other places where I go if one of their regulars can't make it. Network and make yourself known to as many people as possible. DON'T be too pushy in trying to get shooting from other beaters/gamekeeper, they'll likely ask you to participate once they get to know you. DO be helpful and join in the banter with the rest of the team. Eventually opportunities will come along.
  18. The people I know who buy gold all use Atkinson.
  19. Bullion gold coins are the way to go. They are CGT and VAT free. To give you an idea of price the current spot price of 1oz gold is £1230, Royal Mint is selling a 1oz Britannia at £1330, Bullion by Post at £1320 and Atkinson at £1309. So as you can see prices do vary. Buying single coins is the most expensive way to buy, dealers give discount for multi buy. Silver Brittania coins are CGT free but are not VAT free.
  20. But chances are your local chippie is on just eat.

    Tier 4

    I watched TV the other day and there was this professor who had a petition signed by many scientists and medical professionals urging a stricter lockdown, I switched over and there was a different professor with a petition also signed by many scientists and medical professionals but this time calling for a relaxation of lockdown measures. I come on here and there are a variety of opinions and I've come to the conclusion everyone is clueless and full of **** when it comes to covid.

    Did you used to watch Dexter
  23. Well I hope she learns her lesson, 6 months holiday on full pay that'll teach her.
  24. In other headlines:- Kay Burley has tweeted she's off to Africa, where lions kill for food not sport.
