  1. I'm going to stick my head above the parapet here and agree with @NoBodyImportant

    As a country we're on our ****. Energy, fuel, cost of living its all sky rocketed and it was going up before Russia started playing silly *******. They've been farting about for the last decade flexing their muscles but apparently only once they blow up a few buildings does it occur to anyone to do anything. Last I heard we'd sent over 400 million in aid money plus all the toys and donations from Joe public. £400 million! Now it's very sad that Ukraine is bearing the Brunt of vlads bad mood but christ think of the good that 400 million could have actually done here at home. You're not telling me had Ireland or Wales or the Scottish come knocking in a foul temper and blown up some civilians in Birmingham and been threatening to take over London, that Ukraine would give a monkeys?! They're not a third world, they're Eastern European but they're not a poverty stricken African shanty town of a country. Its very sad but there's wars going on all over the place all of the time. 25k dead in the Russia/Ukraine war since 2014. That's not even a drop in the ocean compared to Ethiopia/Eritrea/Sudan- 500000 or Yemen/Saudi/UAE 377000 deaths. But we aside from Lewis Hamilton moaning he won't race in Saudi occasionally we don't hear about these crises. 

    So yeah I agree with our American chum that charity should begin at home.

  2. "Good morning UK. We might be a train wreck of a country but at least you can identify as a plant pot and have sexual liaisons with a one legged, black, lesbian called Dave and no one can say anything about it...unlike those bloody Russians"

    Damn! Too many characters that's probably why I haven't got twitter 🤔

  3. Big fan of the books, you know Reacher is always going to win in the end and kick some *** along the way. Tom Cruise was a **** Reacher, for starters he's only 3ft tall and Reachers supposed to be a behemoth. Jason Statham would have made a great Reacher. I'll have to find the series on Amazon.

  4. I was give  a PH 270 a while back, I havent the time or inclination to reload at the moment but mine enjoys 130gr Federal Powrshok. Now when I first got it I didn't have the money to afford a mod for it and typically it was a different thread to my ASE Northstar 30 cal mod so I had to use it naked - the gun not me. And the only way I can describe it is as brilliantly disgusting! The 2ft jet of flame out of the muzzle was brilliant, the monstrous bang that scared everything in a 15 mile radius was disgusting 😂 but as a caliber it does seem to make things very dead with an authority more in with a much bigger caliber....like a 20mm cannon 😂😂 I suspect I will eventually upgrade the PH to something else because I'm fickle and like shiny things.

  5. If its not going to break up as you remove it you can get bags from your local tip and book it in with them and they'll take small amounts. Our tip at Craven Arms will supply the plastic to double wrap it, you phone up and book a time slot so they can unlock the bin and that's it. They're not allowed to help you move it though so make sure you don't make the packages too big to lift yourself.

    Careful now, the "they are the most kind and gentle and protective of my kids" crowd will be here shortly to put you right!

    It seems the new catnip for idiots is any one of the new fangled crossbreeds, a lady talking to me just yesterday was complaining about her nutcase cockapoo, this kindly cutsey ball of fluff running amok even though it was at training classes since 15 weeks,  straining on the harness and zero recall. From what I heard from her and is also the case for this American bulldog in the post, its the owners need education and training before they even consider owning/training a dog.

    Cockapoo, sproodle etc etc all the bad bits of both breeds and no redeeming features unless you're the person breeding them then the price the idiots will pay for them is quite a redeeming feature I'd imagine!

  7. By the wonder of Facebook a post appeared yesterday that was a share from a gun shop in Llanyfillin that's now being run or is possibly owned by Helen from Wynnstay. Looks like a smart shop so I'll surely venture over next time I'm over that way.

    Last time I called a lady called Helen appeared in charge in the gun room.

    I am talking about Wynnstay.

    Helen and Dave went back in the summer. There was a new bloke there when I nipped in July/August who hadn't long started. I still need a box of bigger cartridges incase a fox appears on our final seasonal outing next week but I can probably get side from a closer Wynnstay.

    Yes, I watched it the other week.

    Great film done on a budget.
    One of the ways you can tell how cheap is when they are using the stethoscope to listen for German activity. If you look closely, the end of the stethoscope is a brown Bakelite electrical junction box. You would have thought they could have knocked something better up 😂

    Like a real stethoscope for a tenner perhaps 😂

  10. Maybe auld Liz is waiting to get him in front of her with a sword so she could accidentally behead him? To be fair to the Queen she's very old, her husbands not long died, her one son is hiding from a knuckle rapping for entertaining teenage girls, he grandson has married a loon who still hasn't had a bloody car crash and Charles is surely hiding round every corner and jumping out trying to scare her to death for his go on the big chair. She probably didn't even look at the list and rubber stamped it.

    "One doesn't give a monkeys about these unwashed oiks and philanderers give then whatever shiny they want and make sure they don't steal anything on the way out."

  11. I've shared a bottle of Amarone with herself and now I'm having a little glass of port and I'll be to roost shortly. Were rough shooting tomorrow.

    I've managed to get myself a Facebook ban this evening posting a picture that I'd already posted earlier in the year, of my little one after shed gone and rolled in a mud hole on a leaky water trough joint, with a big sunshine over her unmentionables. My account is restricted to friends and family. Bloody Facebook! 

  12. Having been to Powys guns I can say they're both great people to deal with and although not a big shop if they can they will help. Word of warning though if you do go and see them book a few hours out to see them as they will ply you with coffee and let you look at all the guns!

    I watched half of it and gave up, there just wasn't enough going on.

    I expected it to show how the Joker came to be, then start a series of Joker films, JP certainly played the part well though.

    I fought my way through it but it did nothing for me. 

  14. I don't get chance to do enough shotgun shooting so when I do get a days shooting I normally always think myself out of hitting stuff! Bum, belly, beak, bang....********! Had a day out the other week and the first drive I had so much time to pick my bird, line up, swing through, think about how I was holding the gun, how my feet were placed....and miss! Second drive was much more fast and furious snap shooting with birds appearing quickly over some conifers and being gone almost as fast and i shot really well there with no chance to think myself out of hitting them. 

  15. Having snapped off various parts over the years but fortunately avoiding ribs I fully advocate codeine! Apparently there's a risk of addiction but it's never felt that way with me - I have to be hurting otherwise it makes me feel sick! - and whiskey. Sleep and put your feet up and left it heal. If you rush it you'll regret it.
