  1. That's got a good video of it https://abc7.com/pacoima-plane-down-crash-metrolink-train-video-of-pilot-being-saved/11447057/ That piece of debris nearly hitting that guy Jeez
  2. The curious side to me is telling me to try it. The sensible side is saying don't risk ******* up my £600 chainsaw. I'll have to see if I can find a ****y old chain and have a go. 2 years ago I saw my work colleague cut 3" rubber mat (from a playground, actually still on the floor in the playground), and that ruined the chain, sprocket, clutch, oil feed, worm gear, bar and chain. Also the guy eventually broke the top handle by pushing to hard. Pretty much the chainsaw (ms261) was ****ed after, covered in melted rubber and never went well again, he had it pinned flat out for about 20 mins bucking like mad. The chain was worn nearly flat from the hardcore underneath. That's council mentality for you.
  3. I don't eat fish believe it or not. All mine go back unless somebody asks for one,which is either usually bass or mackerel. Used to sell eels to the chinese, and sea trout to the pubs but that was a few decades ago
  4. I've always been with people that catch big bass, never had one myself. Biggest I think is about 3lb, but tbf think the biggest I've seen is only about 8lb. I miss living near the coast, I used to fish a lot, coast at one point was 300 yards away 😢 now it's a 1 1/4 hr at least to anywhere decent
  5. 100%. Watching people go hell for leather doing half pumps cracks me up.
  6. Might bring some interesting species further south. I'm not used to southern fishing, all my fishing has been west wales
  7. I've been using the one supplied. I do have another that came on a whip I've got spare, but tbh I can't see how that would make the valve blow out as its on the wrong end (by that I mean it's the gun inlet valve that's failing internally, not the quick fill adapter) I also gave my best fittings one away when I sold my falcon recently. It leaked 130+bar just sitting for a few weeks as well. Honestly the o rings must be made of cheese. I'm tempted to give it another go if I get a replacement, but I'm not giving in and having a faulty gun returned again. I'm going to replace it and probably get a kral np02 unless anything else pops up in the shop that catches my eye.
  8. Bit of paracord, ceiling bracket for a sex swing
  9. I use the exacts rs which I think are 14gr in my springers. But as a general rule you can't go wrong with those, might be a little loopy but then your probably not shooting 12ftlb. Jsb have made the most consistent pellets I've tried for years, though I've found those crossman premiers pretty good (not the hollow points). Keep us updated
  10. Could try the sound clip off the rspb site and blast it out a Bluetooth speaker
  11. How you getting on with the air rifle? Closed those groups up yet?
  12. Did you take the rakers off, I just can't see how that would bite the metal enough otherwise?
  13. Only way I can see is what jaymo says, short barrel, with too long a sling, bends down, catches on a sapling and it catches the trigger standing up. To shoot yourself in the guts sounds quite avoidable.

    Finally

    Flip top, patience, patience and more patience, and don't collect them, leave em where they drop, stay still, don't fidget, more than likely there's another half dozen sat ready to come in after if the areas not been shot before.
  15. Crazy isn't it! Mackerel the size of Jack Pyke. On light tackle that would of been better than any salmon
  16. I've read that they are quite tight in the barrel, so might be good in older bsas
  17. Airgun magazines, or single shot trays. I've just found a file I'm going to send to my mate for him to print me off some to try.
  18. Bit strange, 20 years ago I witnessed my best mate haul in a 3lb beast on the start of December near Llangrannog (West Wales). That was a fluke, as that was intended for other things and was a loner. It's just my mate over Salthill nr Galway had a load at the start of December and my brother in law has been watching them drag them in regularly of the rocks on the weekend off Paignton, Devon. And yes he knows what a mackerel looks like. Global warming, change of gulf streams? 30 mile out I could understand it, but off the rocks? Might get the feathers out next time I'm down there 🤔 Screenshot of the vid he took as his language would get me a ban....
  19. I've always found the forums better than specific selling sites imo.
  20. What ditchy says. My uncle sells shooting/walking sticks at most of the southern game fairs, and I've seen him manage to suspend a dandelion seed head (think they are called pappus) in resin for a stick top. How he managed that I've no idea. But he did tell me in his shed its a case of pour, let it set, rest item on top, pour a bit more, let it set, repeat until finished. Some will take a few layers which you won't see unless you really look hard. Carts, bugs, leafs/flowers, bullets the lot. Think the trick is to pour extremely slow, and get the bubbles out. I've seen some use vibration to do so depending on the thickness poured. Think he said some bespoke items and take days to do, nearly a week after polishing on the wheels. There's loads of YouTube vids on resin pouring, I was going to make a coffee table but tbh the cost of resin put me off for the amount of resin I would need.
  21. If you love parrots that much you must be ❤️pollyamorous❤️ I'll get my coat
