  1. More mild flu doing the rounds.......
  2. I like the look of the home made ones.....
  3. Plenty of demo's on YouTube, barrel version wins every time
  4. No ... https://thegamefair.org/husband-and-wife-team-have-a-handle-on-fieldsports-media/
  5. Whilst wind hasn't done much today, and more expensive gas has been pressed into service, over the last 6 months the only times electricity has been inexpensive (when purchased by electricity suppliers) has been when the sun has been shining or the wind blowing. Likewise with UK gas price going back up and gas becoming more expensive we have likely hit the summer lows and prices will be increasing through Autumn and Winter again.
  6. I think the "flying in international airspace" is the significant fact... and which every country is entitled to do. The rest is just your general gutter press and others trying to make a story out of it.
  7. Nope.... another stupid green woke WEF theory propagated by the elites to get rid of the masses (those who have less than a million £). The problem they (and others) don't realise is without the masses they would not be in the position they are.
  8. Had an hour at clay ground yesterday with semi auto and a hit rate of 84 out of a 100 with buttoning myself with no delay on release (despite quite a few offering to button for me and politely declined). I find it the best way to simulate with clays what happens in the field, and most of the misses were due to incorrect mounting.
  9. You want 6ft of round pebble gravel.... Slows them right down.
  10. Speaking from a grid prospective, the grid in the UK is basically at capacity. Connection dates for new solar and wind in Eng and Wales are 2032 to 2036 plus. Other than the replacement Nuclear stations (Hinckley Point) and off shore wind there is no significant electricity capacity being added to the grid over the next 10 years and this will be mainly replacing older assets that are being decommissioned. Currently there is an overnight (and afternoon in summer) decrease in electricy prices due to supply being adequate or exceeding demand. If everyone starts overnight charging, that price differential will evaporate but by then we will have mainly (for all those with smart meters) have changed to half hourly pricing and you will be paying top whack for your electricity. The current market share of new registrations for EV (of all types) is currently about 16%, which translates to an overall share of around 3% of vehicles on the road. 97% of vehicles are still ICE. There is not the grid capacity to go all electric for transport or heating, never mind both at once. We would need to increase our electric grid infrastructure by 500% to cope with this, when we are only barely replacing the generation assets we are losing.
  11. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/sound-freedom-shatters-expectations-hits-100-million-milestone-box-office Still no release date in the UK......
  12. I advise people all the time that a lighter hide (than the background) is more effective at disappearing than a dark one. Certainly works a treat here.
  13. And Keir Stammer is a literally a former Marxist\Trotskyist, your point? You won't be voting for Labour\Keir Stammer in the next election due to his "former" extreme views??? It is interesting to note Melloni (amongst others) have done away with the Fascist elements of the old orders of her party as it has changed over time just like Marine Le Pen and, much like Stammer & Co have got rid of the old communists (Corbyn & Co) over here.
  14. The proper stuff but not good for a quick turn around....... Boterm GTA 0.8kg Extra Strong... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MFE4T42?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
  15. Do you have a picture of the bit in question?
  16. The parties gaining ground are not exactly "far right", indeed most of them are simply traditionally conservative, whilst as per Elon Musk's meme, the left has indeed become far left, whilst the right has stated put for the main. Conflating the right with "Facsists" is no different to conflating the Left with Stalin or Mao who both killed far more of their citizens than the extreme right wing ever has.
  17. A drama based on a true story about child trafficking...... Disney refused to release for 5 years, but once out of Disney contract released within months to blockbuster success in the USA & Canada but still no release date in the UK as no chain will pick it up. Instead the UK gets Barbie and Indiana Jones & How to finally kill a franchise. It's almost like the MSM is afraid of the light.......

    Temu

    The Chinese government isn't hiding behind Temu any more the the US Government is hiding behind Amazon. The truth is, China has the cheapest energy supplied by Coal, renewables, Gas, nuclear and oil in that order. Electricity price in China is 7p\kwh (all in cost including taxes etc) therefore manufacturing is cheap, diesel is 85p\l thereby transport is cheap, etc etc, their government (whether you object to communism or not) has successfully through a series of long term plans has produced conditions for inexpensive energy which has caused the majority of straight forward (and more complicated) manufacturing to set up shop there. As noted in my previous response, our successive governments have done the opposite. Our mainstream political parties (Cons, Lab, Libs Greens) could reverse this tomorrow but clearly have no interest in doing so and the sheep keep following them... Whilst REFORM UK keeps shouting that you have to change the energy policies, make energy inexpensive, and in surplus to reverse the decline but are ignored by MSM and those who cannot see the wood for the trees.

    Temu

    Increasing energy prices by prematurely closing coal plants and coal mines, blocking nuclear, blocking wind power, taxing the heck out of diesel, petrol, adding green Levy's to electricity, banning Russian gas etc is what is driving us to be a 3rd world country, and why our steel needs to be so heavily subsidised to even be within feasible costings, never mind the cheapest. The truth is, cheap energy with an available surplus = healthy economy and prosperity but our so called leaders (and many others) have clearly forgotten this....... or perhaps never learned.

    Temu

    But they are not manufacturers are they? They are traders, middlemen, sourcing the cheapest they can find, adding the largest mark up they think the market will sustain and banking the profit at the cost of the consumer. Consumers having more money to spend is a good thing!
  21. I use Kapersky across all my devices. Never had any issues.
