I'd love to know how you managed a Bankart shooting, even if you have been shooting huge loads from a 4 bore it doesn't make much sense, the tear is in the wrong place for the recoil to produce it. I've yet to get a Bankart, though with my family history and floppy shoulders it is more or less inevitable. When it happens I expect it won't affect my shooting much after the initial recovery, at worst I may have to adapt my mount to be a tad inside or outside the deltopectoral groove. Father's Bankart repair caused him no trouble after the first six months. DOI: Not an Orthopod.

As it stands a huge amount of what I end up doing is backside covering work with very little evidence beyond that gained from defending legal cases. Is it that much worse when there is money involved?

For my main contracted job, for the sake of simplicity (which is the one I compare my other half's work to) worked out at 33.7k for the last tax year. I did have a not insignificant income above this from locum work and ash cash, although for the purposes of discussing the contract dispute I will leave out the details, because I work in part of the country with a huge recruitment problem this income was much larger than most will get close to. Most patients who bring numbers into the discussion expect us to earn substantially more. The current consultant average works out around 100k. Their contract is also going through the grinder though so a more realistic number if I were looking to stay in clinical work within the UK might be about 80. Though in my field of choice I wouldn't expect to secure a consultant position for about 15 more years. Given the history of failure to maintain value we might then expect further decline. Comparable areas school friends work in, such as law, engineering, and accountancy, provide much more generous training salaries with much better employer support for training, followed by comparable income but after shorter training. Colleagues who have jumped ship to sales and drug firm work are generally reporting around 70k, most of my school friends in the aforementioned professions report around £50k but are nearing the end of their training. Working abroad I would expect to see significantly shorter training (the UK training process is very long compared to much of the world) with higher consultant pay at the end.

Part of the problem where I work is that they aren't. Ten years ago we imported a huge number though. Many of the Eastern European locums I work with are using the UK as an english speaking spring board on the way to the US and Canada. One of our Paediatricians recently returned to Pakistan because he could earn more in GBP running a private clinic in a suitably affluent suburb there.

Its debatable, currently I get 2-3 emails a month offering more money for less hours abroad. I look at my schoolfreinds of similar education and background and note they earn more than I do. They also don't do any nights, weekends, etc and have more tax efficient payment schemes. I been approached in the last month and asked to apply for a job in industry, though I don't hugely fancy it. They are offering significantly more than the current NHS pay. My other half is essentially unskilled, but again gets job offers for around the same pay I get (although works significantly fewer hours for said pay). An interesting question, if I may ask, how much do you think we get?

The issue has been horrendously politicised. For me its quite simple, for the last tax year the new contract would have cost me about 40%, therefore I have been striking and have accepted a job outside affected regions. Junior doctor's pay (and that of the consultants) has been effectively frozen for the last ten years, giving a significant loss against inflation as we are. To then try and cut another great chunk out is a step too far for most of us. Ultimately the issue is we are trying to provide a first world health service on a second to third world budget (look at %GDP spend in comparable developed countries for health). Either we need to be honest about providing less, or we need to pay more. I will only accept so much deterioration in my working conditions to cover the bill.

Lovely pen work. Im into piston fillers at the moment as cartridge converters just dont hold enough ink or else i would be very very tempted.

PM sent! Just the sort of thing I have been looking for.

When i have more spare time i shall try and write a short guide to the medical side of this issue. It is i suspect equally unwelcome on the medical side as the shooting side.

There is a similar and arguably much more burdensome process with driving licences, many issues and your doctor has to inform the dvla and effectively disqualify you from driving until further investigation or for various minimum times. This causes no end of issue where people drive for a living, or the evidence is tenuous, ie blood tests suggestive of innappropriate drinking. The big difference however is that if i tell you that you are medically disqualified from driving i can give you a good idea what the time frame will be and what will happen next, and when to expect your licence back. Your insurance may rocket but you will legally get back behind the wheel in a fairly predictable manner. Its not at the whims of your local police force.

I'd hope we will get suitable guidance as per the dvla and alcohol with drivers. That way there are defendable guidelines for the medical side, and a reference point for the shooting side. In theory at least any anti shooting doctor will point you at a second doctor should they choose not to get involved.

My other half insists on compX 21g, lylvale 21g kick remarkably badly in comparison. Hull are now doing a slower 19g i would be interested to try, but the 21g compx make a soft pop and then the clay breaks.

I was sure i saw one whilst out with the dog one night in the southwest. Never saw anything again but my mother swears she saw one a few years back. Crossed the track 25m infront of us as we came round a corner. Twice as long as a lab, long swishy tail, my lab was terrified of whatever it was. Took a quick look at us as it passed before sneaking on through the next field.

Many thanks for the suggestions. Does anybody import the bps in 12 or 10 bore? I cant find any for sale.

I have just accepted a job in Northern Ireland that should last me two years. I understand life is much easier if you move over with ones desired guns then have them added to the local ticket. I would rather like to take up wildfowling but am unsure what gun to use. I have an Akkar Churchill which seems a bit too pretty to drop in a marsh. Ideally my heart wants a cheap ten bore side by side to home load but trying to recast one to left hand sounds like it could be a struggle. Armsan make a plastic left eject three inch semi but will i end up losing cases everywhere? The only other logical option i can think of would be a bps in 12 or 10 bore, but they seem rare as hens teeth. Any other ideas or bits of advice would be greatfully recieved.

Its worth noting that figure includes our wages and pension contributions for a few years out of medical school... Most of our 'training time' is taken up with service provision, note that all the people in so called non training posts i work with do exactly the same work i do. To pay it back would be like asking an employee to return all their salary, plus employers costs.

As a striking junior doctor these are my key issues. New contract contrary to what is reported would be a 42% pay cut for me to work more weekends and nights. New contract comes with an exclusivity clause where i must get my employers permission to undertake any paid work outside my contracted time, and they have first refusal at my basic rate. Ten years of pay freeze has already refuced our pay by half in real terms. I want more money and not to be treated like **** by my employer. Due to the above i have accepted a job in ireland where the old contract is continuing and told my english job offers to find someone else.

Put mine inside a cupboard and will make good the holes when moving out. I suspect the landlord will never know. I would rather ask permission but having lost out on a few places at the mention of 'gun safe' this place ive kept it secret.

This. At 0300 i highly doubt the manpower was readily available to close the road off without leaving the dog endangering traffic for some time.

A friend and i shoot from opposite shoulders. A play with a straight gun seemed to fit neither of us.

Seems complex. Im told that despite being paid effectively £13 an hour it is cheaper to pay £40 an hour to cover adhoc work (of which there is a good amount) than employ more of us.

Im left eye dominant and right handed. Within four clays changing to the left shoulder felt much much better, even with a right hand cast gun. The problem is the scarcity of left handed guns though. The last three shops i went to looked at me like i had been beamed down from a flying portaloo when i asked if they had anything left handed.

Not entirely sure but 80% set on in.

I do odd shifts for an old employer around my current job.

My other half has everything on her certificate too so she can know where the keys are. Unfortunately she isnt interested in rifles though so if i go down the fac route i may need a second safe.
