Indoor range 🤩the office? Very nice.

Just back from the gym, from what I've seen on subtitles a 7hr cabinet meeting and they've come up with "we'll see what Jeremy thinks??? Really that's it??
She might be trying to stick to her guns, but i think she's trying to get the sack, then she did her best??

How very selfish of her, just because she is comfortable financially, she feels fit to ruin our chances at making this country better for us all.
Don't prod him, it'll be another two pages of i didn't say this or that followed by more talk of the ages of voters.

Its looking like another referendum to me, her own party will push TM out, corbyn will demand a GE on the back of another vote, the cons will instigate a second referendum to stay in power.. .........possibly !
TM has already said she'll leave which weakens her, how can the PM say I'll leave if i get what I want?
Someone said last night a GE shouldn't be called over leaving the EU as its just one thing, a GE should be about more ie housing NHS education etc..

Spot on about statistics and data; we're now at a point where people can and will argue against anything they do not agree with to the point of utter denial.
Anyway I appreciate the insight you have provided, thanks for sharing.
Raja, you've tried the age thing before, there might be a larger number of older voters compared with younger voters but its in no way exclusive, plenty of us on here in our 40s voted leave, a lot of younger voters in education may vote remain while the older voters remember what the EU was, a trading group not the ruling party.

Don't forget hotels and restaurant staff, cleaning and the fact that they usually have more than one job, as many local people here won't do those jobs, particularly farming
Your probably right, mostly seasonal work where people come over and work damn hard. A lot of the fruit pickers around Arbroath were living in porta cabins on the farms back in 2002/3 and probably still do? So are they paying tax council tax and everything else the rest of us do, very doubtful indeed. This is why the locals won't do the hard work for low pay, overheads.

Watching news night and Ann Widdicombe has just come out with a belter, She's totally pro brexit said worst prime minister since Antony Eden, worst leader of the opposition in the entire history of the labour party and the worst parliament since Oliver Cromwell and with that combination were engaged in the most important international negotiations for 50 years!!
She's also saying people should get behind TM deal because its the best of a bad bunch at least putting us on the right line.
Ken clarke was 3 votes from winning on being tied to customs union☹
Come on Europe kick us out 😄

Like anybody actually has the evidence to support that?
Probably that many Europeans come over picking fruit every year but 100,000 jobs? Can't see it.
Houses in my area of Lancashire are selling fast, not what you would expect if things were meant to be the disaster that remain said would happen.

Trouble is with the .25 the pellet choice was limited and at 50 ft/lb+ you were getting towards rimfire territory. The great thing about .22 is the pellet choice is massive so there is more chance of finding one the barrel likes.
Also there is more chance of finding a second hand .22 FAC air full stop . When I got my .25 it was the last one FX had in the UK at the time and the choice on anything else that was new involved a 12 week + lead time. So I decided to play the safer numbers game and go for .22
Makes a lot of sense.

SNP just said majority of Scottish MPs voted for revoking A50, peoples vote wanted and stay in the customs union.
the Scottish vote was 68 remain and 32 leave, but the final comment was no deal would cost Scotland upto 100,000 jobs??
So nothing much is going to happen anytime soon, as usual

Nick Boles has quit the conservative party.
Just had a google, he quit on Grantham on the 16th of March, guessing he's joined the rest waiting to be deselected? In the new party??
started typing deselected and my phone wants to put dead leg 😂😂😂

Just saying on the news 4 votes all defeated, revoke, customs union.
Showed Liam Fox earlier saying we need to go back to a proper brexit, no point wanting a customs union where we have no say in the rules.

Rabbits and Squizzers mainly. I have .17 HMR and a .243 but need something for a few areas of permissions that arnt really suitable for those. I had an FAC bobcat in .25 a while ago and foolishly let it go so as I was renewing I thought I would take the opportunity to get another FAC air as I missed having one and it fills a niche between sub 12 ft/lb and the HMR
I do recall you selling the bobcat, so why .22 and not .25 again? Bit less whack or did you just fancy something different?

I was torn between the two but to be honest the R10 was more in the budget I had set myself so that swung it in the end.
Budget normally decides most things.
what are you wanting the FAC for?

Cheers all for the advice and comments on experience.
After having a look at prices and distances in the end I decided to scoot up Livens gun shop and bought the BSA R10 MK2 which was the personal gun of one of the guys in the shop. Huma reg fitted and the shroud has been shortened with a moderator added making it more handy than the usual monster shroud that came with. Hes even found the decent pellet for it with H+N Barracuda
Looking forward to having a play with it this week.
You don't hand about do you!! Few chaps on the rapid forum are using.22 in FAC and achieving great results, but with longer barrels.
as someone mentioned above a lot seems to be about getting the best out of the barrel, few folk have spoken about polishing barrels and re machining the crown, also doing the same on HW barrels vastly improving performances.
Also read something about people buying old gold stars just for the barrels.
let us know how you get on Zetter 👍

Tonight hopefully we get support for an alternative proposal. Small steps.
Alternative?? In or out, we voted out.
I'm not expecting anything from parliament, they couldn't agree on whether it was dark out or not at midnight.

Alis volat propriis is a Latin phrase used as the motto of U.S. state of Oregon. The official English version of the motto is "She flies with her own wings"
Are we out yet?

The prices can get silly mind, for me and three colleagues the tickets for a trip booked by the company that wanted us elsewhere for a weekend were printed with ticket prices of a total of £2200. I suspect they could have sent us by helicopter for less.
you could have had a weekend in Majorca or similar?

Yes great when it's for leisure, but a pain if you need to arrive on time.

To add, the original referendum to stay in what was then the customs Union had absaloutly no information of what it would turn into and it was sealed under the official secrets act, so if ever we didn't know what we voted for, it was the original common market and by many of the remainers reasoning, we should have left years ago as we didn't know what we voted for.
I watched something last week about the Tories and how Maggie Thatcher tried getting us out before being knifed in the back, and how ever since the Tories have been trying to get someone to lead the party whilst being tough on Europe, Seems were still waiting.
3 hours ago, poontang said:Are you for real?
It was made absolutely clear by both sides that leaving the EU meant leaving the customs union, single market, ECJ and all other EU institutions.
The leave campaign claimed this to be a good thing, and remain said it would be bad... but make no mistake EVERYBODY (who was paying attention) knew exactly what they were voting for. To say people didn't vote to leave the CU/SM/ECJ is pure unadulterated rubbish, as you well know!
bang on, we wanted out of Europes control in all areas, then we deal with who we want how we want, without having to except ridiculous rules for the privilege.
3 hours ago, Newbie to this said:I've had a look (admittedly not spent too much time) and couldn't find anything but the agenda. The minutes of the meeting I can't seem to source.
Probably already decided between Germany and France, few phone calls and everyone told "this is what's happening"

The poison dwarf Bercow cannot allow another vote on this surely...?
That's what i saw on the news today, more things being voted for Monday and TM may try again to get her vote through? Madness.
-
We'll TM is apparently trying again Monday to get her vote through?? 4th time lucky??
Really don't see how the figures change from Fridays vote?
It's like she's trying to force a vote of no confidence so there is a GE

I was travelling home from work Friday evening and took three hours to get from Chelsea to Canary Wharf area, all due to brexit demonstrations,
roads blocked by police, roads blocked by trawlers on the back of an hgv, roads blocked by coaches from different European countries and double decors adorned with ******** to brexit slogans protesters everywhere and more police and ambulance personnel than I’ve ever seen before riot vans helicopters dog units the works
hopefully the politicians will pull their fingers out and get their jobs done sooner rather than later
Imagine if something serious had happened, the country has come to a stand still waiting on an exit

It seems the process has started for Grieve https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6866803/Pro-Remain-Tory-MP-Dominic-Grieve-loses-no-confidence-vote-local-Conservative-Party.html
That's great news but he'll just go sit with the "new party" and vote how he pleases not as his constituents want.
47 minutes ago, Retsdon said:Parliament does work. iIt hasn't worked over Brexit almost wholly because of the ineptitude of this government. May came to the House asking for it to basically sign a blank cheque, and so it's hardly surprising that Parliament, whose main job is to keep the Executive branch of government in check, (excuse the repetition) was not nor prepared to sign it. As for the Commons being unable to formulate a forward plan - well that's not their job either. Their real job is to act like a jury in a courtroom - examining the legislation that the executive branch puts in front of them and giving it a yea or a nay. Parliament is not designed to formulate legislation any more than a jury is designed to prosecute or defend on points of law.
But I'll agree, Parliament hasnt' done its job properly. If it had, May's government would have falllen to a no confidence vote in the middle of last year at the latest.
Ochlocracy is the technical term.
Sorry like a Jury? They are nothing like impartial their worse than children talking over each other and heckling during speeches. Something needs to change.

I totally agree that Parliament has let the electorate down wholesale. But, looking at my own constituency, which voted to leave, our M.P. has consistently voted leave (and for the much hated May deal, though that is the only remaining official 'leave' channel). Those whose M.P.s have let them down need to act at constituency level to ensure that those individuals (such as Soubery) are not selected to stand again. But remember there are many of us whose M.P.s have towed the line and are as frustrated as many voters are.
Bang on, its all well and good people saying I'm not voting again, our grandparents, parents friends didn't die in Europe and around the world for us to just think its not worth it, vote out the traitors out.
What would you do?

do you know any farmers with a gas gun?
You say the neighbours aren't getting back in touch with you, block their car in and sit outside till they come out and see what they say?
I would keep pestering the council Three emails a day till you get a response your happy with, especially as you've spotted rats about as well.
Finally can you shoot from inside with the air rifle? fire a shot and have someone stood outside in a safe position to see how noisy it is, go with the carpet backstop, then shoot a couple see if they clear off.
good luck
