Monday morning 0850 woke up in severe pain unable to move, called 101 ambulance arrived at Hospital 0915 after 7hrs waiting on transfer trolley transferred to ward, linked up to intravenous drip. 0200hrs needed to urinate, obtained bottle, trying to be discrete held bottle under covers, on completion I was soaked pyjamas,bedding, floor I did my best to clean up, 0400 needed to urinate again but this time I decided to try and stand up, on completion again I was soaked, when a nurse arrived I was so embarrassed, but we found that the bottle had a hole in it. True story, released from Hospital 7 Days later.

I have purchased a C/Z .22 l/r any advice please on the most effective moderator to suit this gun.

I would rate them 10/10, excellent service.

Most acids can be neutralised with an "alkaline" solution, but I would purchase a eye wash bottle filled with a solution as may be suggested by a chemist. Water it's self will not neutralise the acid only dilute, an mild "alkaline" is required, conversely to neutralise caustic burns a mild "acid" is needed.

Suggest that you go via "Google" and look up "Phostoxin" but you may have difficulty in obtaining it, I have used it for rats and problem solved.

Been there, not a pleasant experience, in my case I learned that they had being putting the main contractors board in their van when they left and replacing it with their board, during court proceedings found that everything was in his wife's name even the vehicles were hired, cost me a lot of money, it might be worth looking at the site "Trust a trader". Good luck.

You are so right, political correctness has a lot to answer for.

I have purchased a Tomtom Start 25 Sat Nav, when I set a route "demo" of say 1½ hours duration, after approx. 1hr it reverts to my starting place, what am I doing wrong. I would be very grateful for any advice that you can offer. Thanks, and no I don't want a Garmin.

I received an unwanted sales call, the conversation started by him introducing himself as "John" I disputed this and explained that he had started the conversation with a lie, eventually he relented and told me his birth name but the management give them the names they must use, he works from a call centre in India, the expectations are for each employee to make a minimum of 600 calls per 12 hour shift with a conversion rate of 10%, if these targets are not reached they are out of a job.

Regarding the storage of gun safe keys, I purchased a couple of small barrel type magnets that have a hole in the centre, put one of these in any place out of site, just an idea.

I have just completed an continuation form for my FAC application and notice that one of the questions asks have I ever been charged with any offence including speeding, I cannot remember seeing this question on previous applications, what ramifications would it have if I answered yes.

I would be very interested to know on what basis do Natural England decide on the laws concerning the shooting of cormorants, my licence which I believe is general states; they can only be shot using 12,16,20, bore shot gun, the shot should be No3 or No4, they can only be shot if in groups of 2 or more. The regular appearance of a large adult bird cannot be dealt with because it's not accompanied by others, I am not adverse to killing but will not condone cruelty, and in my opinion shooting at a bird at a distance of 30/40 yards using 4 shot is more likely to injury it than kill it. Following a visit from a young lady representing Natural England her suggestion was for me to string wires across the 3.5 acre lake to deter the birds from flying in, or purchase some wooden pallets and staple stock fencing to the base and float them on the water, other suggestions were equally as ludicrous. Your thoughts please.

To those members that offered constructive advice I thank you, to those that criticised the "font" being unable to read, for future reference please assist by stating the acceptable font size, and any other changes that I should make. To the member that suggested that I was just being "posh" I treat that comment with the contempt it deserves.

I have just purchased a cheap Browning Pump Action .22 LR (£80) I now realise that you get what you pay for, I will try and return it to the shop because even at 30 yds the rounds are all over the place. I have a 17HMR what a fantastic gun, I am no great shot but at 100 yds it's very accurate. My question is can those more experienced than me advise me on what should I expect to pay for a reliable accurate 22LR, and any makes to look for. Thanking you.

I thank you all for your advice, what I find is so annoying is that when I put in a claim into my insurers for the loss of 2 strimmer's, chain saw, pressure washer, many power tools, John Deere ride on mower plus trailer, "Saga" informed me that the mower is classed as a motorised vehicle and not covered (replacement cost £6400) my advice to all is check your insurance small print, I didn't to my cost.

We recently had burglars and they cut the cables to both outside lights, these were protected by a 13 amp fuse, if I replace them using a 60 amp fuse would this act as a deterrent to future cutting, the lights would have been on because they are operated by PIRs.

Those b***** cormorants, in the last week I have removed 4 dead carp, the best being 18lb all showed signs of bird damage. In the last 2 days I have watched a large bird circling, this one seems to be a regular visitor. If I adhere to my licence conditions I cannot shoot it because they can only be shot if in pairs or more, and then only with a shot gun, the chances of getting within 50yds of it are nil, but I am not permitted to use the HMR.It's impossible to police the water during all daylight hours. Scare crows don't work. Advice please, the advice given by the Environment Agency is to string wires across the lake 3½ acres, or float wooden pallets on the water and attach stock fencing to them, giving the fish a refuge from the birds.

I am in need of an air rifle, max range required 30/50yds, powered by CO2 small disposal cylinders, can anybody offer any advice on what make and an estimate of cost, how reliable are they. This will be used to control a rat population. Thanking you in anticipation.

Thanks for the suggestions, some good ideas first thing I need to buy is an engraver to replace the one they stole.

Can anybody advise me please, can I purchase a "paint" that would be very difficult to remove, I have lost a lot of expensive tools to thieves, including a Ride on mower. The police have suggested that I mark the replacement with my post code, any ideas please.

I have just received an Email regarding my insurance claim, (a) the John Deere ride on mower that was stolen with the trailer is not covered because it is classed as a motorised vehicle and attachments. (b) unless I can supply serial numbers for each of the pieces of equipment, Stihl 14in chain saw, Stihl pressure washer, 2 Stihl brushwood cutters, plus many other power tools, my claim will not be entertained. How many keep individual serial numbers, a sales receipt is not sufficient. I highly recommend "SAGA HOME INSURANCE" pass it onto your enemies.

On last Thursday night thieves broke into my workshop, they cut the power 3 cables to the security lights, and stole approx. £5000 worth of tools, inc Ride on Mower, my insurance will not begin to cover the losses, but I advise everybody to take photographs of items, date of purchase serial numbers and receipts because without evidence you cannot make an insurance claim. To all, learn from my mistakes.

WASHINGTON — Kurdish fighters battling ISIS desperately want more guns and armor, but they already have a secret weapon: The fanatics they’re fighting fear that if they get killed in combat by a woman, they won’t go to heaven, wait until they see my sister.

What these killers seek is "martyrdom", could this be prevented in their twisted minds by using a IMAM as a negotiator, somebody quoting from the Koran telling them that to kill an innocent hostage is a violation and they will not become martyrs. Just a thought.
