I think I saw Just Cartridges doing an offer of £266 per 1000 ?

I have used a needle to ***** the site of the dent several times, to help the steam get through the varnish. The above stars could be translated as" pierced," if that helps.

Whatever you do, make sure you write a will, and get a Solicitor to check it for you.

Hi Krico/W, That's well spotted. I have often found that pigeons feeding on "hard" food often feed late. Presumably the "hard" food stays in their crops and gut for longer.

I like MacWet gloves. Get them fitted at one of the Shows, and you will never look back.

The Americans have different laws from us. They can use "Lethal Force" under some conditions.

In some American Diners, I have seen Baked beans coralled in steel circles on toast. They are taken off before serving.

My old dog used to pick up wounded crows. He had a technique, where he walked round behind them, knocked them over, and then picked them up. Experience.

My first full bore rifle was a BRNO 270, way back in 1969. I think it was a model 600. It had BRNO scope rails machined in to the top of the action, and the only scope mounts I could get were Parker Hale. They had to be quite high to clear the bolt, so you never got much of a cheek weld. The recoil nearly put me off 270 for ever,, but a friend advised on grinding down the bolt handle, and getting lower scope mounts. This seemed a bit drastic on a new rifle, but it worked like a charm. I used that rifle for 30 years, with a simple 4X32 Japanese scope, which I thought was a great improvement on open sights.. If I hadn't been advised to alter the bolt handle and fit a lower scope mount, that could have been the early demise of the 270 with me.!

"Clicking" the trigger on an empty chamber can raise a burr on some rifles, notably the old Brno 22 I have cured this with a chain saw file, used carefully.

I have washed my tweed cap, after it blew off into the slurry pit. Bit of a last resort, but I pulled it into shape and put it on wet. It shrink formed quite well, but gave me a cold !

The old system of "up the odds and down the evens" works, but puzzles some people.

This is quite a complicated matter. When Churchill started producing 25" barrelled guns, with standard ribs, he found that they shot high. He then raised the foresight to make them shoot lower, and joined the foresight and backsight with a high rib. You have effectively raised the backsight by raising the comb, which give you an elevated view of the barrels, which will now shoot higher. If you raise the rib, and effectively the foresight, it will shoot lower again. I'll give up now, before I get in an even bigger muddle !

I seem to remember a lot of coal being shipped to England, and the British Navy ran on Welsh Anthracite. Most of London was roofed with Welsh slate ( and New York )

Edit to my previous post; The Machine is Tassimo, but the coffee is Costa. Hope that has not confused everything.
