You really do not get it. Anyone with any intelligence knew what was coming just watch the news . Sp why did the government ignore what they knew what was coming. Probably they hoped it would blow over and them they would save money. If the government had acted when they knew the lock down would have been far more effective because the virus would be be established. As for being PM , Boris gets paid to deal and minimise the effects of things like this virus. In this he has failed. Where is a real leader when you want one. I never though I would say this , but where are you Maggie.
No. You don't get it.
The decision not to Lockdown at the first sniffle was correct.
We need people to catch the virus and in any case, it's inevitable.
If the country followed your lead and was locked down from the first sniffle until a vaccine becomes available the country would be on it's knees.
I don't care for Boris or Maggie, no one, even you oh all seeing oracle could have dealt with this in a way that mitigated all of the risks and balanced the negative effect on the country and it's economy.

O yes they were. I could see it coming and took preventive measures well before our government had given it a second thought. I had PPE and in lockdown 2 weeks before the government had even thought about lockdowns. Asleep at the wheel is exactly what they are guilty of. Its their job to spot and act on these things , but they ignored it. If I saw it so should have Boris and co, but then he never was much good at things that affect people. He never even bothered to visit the poor ******* flooded out in the west country. Boris excuse- he did not want to get in the way. An curtsy visit to see what was going on is not getting in the way on the contrary its raseing the profile of the problem. And yes any potential pandemic is very comparable. As for shutting down the aircraft flights, the UK still has not done it and an average of 15,000 a day are still flooding into the country. Ops Boris is still asleep. I am very sorry he caught the virus , but whos fault was that. There were many occasions when he did photo\publicity meetings with Drs and nurses, he did not practice social distancing and shook more hands than you could count. If he had not caught the virus it would have been amazing. Asleep again.
Send your CV in. You'll be PM in no time.
People are ****** off with lockdown now, how do you think they'd be doing if the whole country lockedown when you did?
How do you think the economy would be doing?

Yes you are right, one of the reasons which I had not realised until this happened is that Italy uses a lot of Chinese workers as cheap labour. They use them in the clothing factories in Northern Italy and a lot in the hotels.
The first cases in Italy were all Chinese Nationals. The emergence coincided with the ski season, and skiers took it back to their own countries having probably caught it from workers in their hotels.
Have a look at a map of all the passenger flights across the world... Truly amazing.
Then remember that this is a small percentage of all the travel that goes on to move things like freight and doesn't include human travel by train, boat etc and then think how easy would it be to contain a virus that you don't even know exists.
An then think what if I did know it existed. How long would it take to shut that all off completely (if you could).
How many passengers can get on a boeing 747? it only takes one to have a virus and not even exhibit symptoms or know that they have it for the virus to circulate in the air. Potentially infect everyone on that plane... And then, unless the plane is completely sterilised everyone on the next flight.
Then think of the onward journeys of all those now infected people. Where are they taking the virus to pass on to their families and friends?
and that is just one flight of one plane in one day and this could all be before anyone even knows the virus exists.

Everybody wants somebody to blame. Well blame yourself. Blame your holidays. Blame your clothes that came from abroad. Blame your food that came from abroad. Blame your holidays that you take abroad. Blame your kids that go abroad. Blame your work that imports and exports abroad. Blame your work that sends you abroad. Blame your cartridges that have componets from abroad. Blame your imported guns. Or your cars. Hell, while your at it you might as well go fire bomb some 5g masts you all sound so angry about anything that could be blamed. Millions of ways any pathogen can spead, nobody giving two ****s about the way it HASN'T spread, whats trying to be done to stop it spreading, they just want to bitch about the way it COULDNT of been stopped. Be thankful this aint airborne
YES exactly!!
This virus had almost certainly left China before anyone knew it existed. It was going to get here, if it wasn't already.
The world's only hope from the start was to limit the damage.

The WHO managed to stop the last 3 potential pandemic virus and SARS, Swine Flue ect. The leaders of the world were asleep at the wheel on this one
No they ******* weren't!!
Do you think that the first person that gets a brand new, unknown virus gets picked up every time? Of course not!!
The odds are that it had already left China before anybody knew it existed. It doesn't matter how many people move about then, once it's out it's out.
The difference of Covid-19 and SARS etc is the infection rate. One person with C-19 potentially infects more people than one person with flu or sars or whatever.
You can't compare them.

There are so many knife making threads on this and some other forums I go on that make some really "nice" knives I decided I would only comment on the ones I found exceptional.
I really like the handle detail, not seen much of that sort of design and it really works for me.
Just personally for me I don't tend to use a dedicated filleting knife so the blade shape isn't that pracitcal for me but overall a really lovely knife.

hello, i must be an oddball then as i cannot see using a MP 15-22 in a traditional type countryside pest control way anything other than madness, not even for target shooting, maybe the USA is happy to accommodate the RAMBOs in their country, cannot imagine any landowner allowing anyone permission,there is no place in this country for such an abhorrent looking rifle
The same arguments used against those firearms are used against ALL firearms.
Be careful what you wish for.

That's the knife I use in my kitchen. I use it because I don't have a proper chef's knife and because it's nice and sharp and it does what I need it to. Some people might look at it and say "oh that's a combat knife". It's not, it's just a knife.
This is a chef's knife. If I stab you with it does that make it a combat knife? No it's just a knife.
Btw I love my S&W Mp 15-22, great fun to shoot.

Neither makes you more or less dead either eh?
Complex argument but personally I am against the Canadian ruling.
I bet there are tens or hundreds of thousands of totally law abiding canadians who enjoy using those firearms that have never, or will never use them to do any harm and now they are being penalised. Losing a sport or pass time that they enjoy because of the actions of the few and political pressure. Kind of sounds familiar?
Anyone on here from the UK miss their pistol? Can't think of any practical application for a ruger redhawk other than killing people? Oddly mine never did. It just shot paper. Tin cans, skittles. I really enjoyed using it and it got taken away from me. The country is no safer for the fact either.
I take no enjoyment whatsoever from motorsport of any kind. Noisy and boring if you ask me and there is no practical reason why anyone would want to own a trials bike or a fast car is there? A mini metro is just as good on the road as a ferrari, after all you can only legally travel at 70mph on our roads.
The carbon dioxide, monoxide and other noxious fumes spewed by these vehicles which have very little regulation governing their emissions, people tinker with them in their garages to alter their performance. For what? Recreation? shame on them. That's not a valid reason to kill the planet is it?
Ban formula one. Ban the Red Bull Air Race. Ban the Isle of man TT. Ban the sale of any vehicle that travels faster that 70mph. Any motocross or trials bike. We'll have an amnesty on all of these so called "sports" vehicles and give everyone two years to get them chopped up.
By the end of it the planet will be a safer place, less polluted and we will be reserving the dwindling stock of petrochemicals, as an added bonus we can stick our fingers up to these stupid hicks who think that tearing around on a noisy polluting vehicle whooping and hollering and getting muddy is a responsible way to use valuable resources, pollute the planet and damage the countryside. sick individuals.

Rock and roll life style you lead there 😜
Seriously though, each to their own, I just find it hilarious the amount of people who are trying to impose their slant of what is and isn't acceptable during the lock down, much of it not backed up by law at all.
Or any understanding of viruses.

It doesn’t matter wether herd immunity is the plan or not, it will happen sooner or later, either with a vaccine or without.
Exactly.
I don't think the government has done a bad job.
Do people think the virus is just going to disappear?
It's here. It isn't going anywhere. The likelihood is you will get it. If not now later. Unless you get access to a vaccine.
It doesn't matter how many people enter the country now legally or illegally. It doesn't matter when we started or finish lockdown it is here. Unless you grow all your own food, make your own clothes and goods you will catch it. 'Lockdown" is just delaying the inevitable.
The purpose of it is to hang out the infection for long enough that it reduces the strain on the NHS so that if you do get it. They can care for you and it will be less likely to kill you.

as usual the door was bolted after the horse was already far to loose we wasted the opportunity of being a island by allowing just about anyone to fly in and disappear with a half baked lock down designed to slow not stop the virus after catching the virus boris definitely knows we acted to late
Closing our borders would have been a waste of time. To be sure we would have had to stop EVERYTHING coming in including freight. The country wouldn't last very long without importing goods.

Happens more often than we probably realise. Had a situation where I was just checking zero on my deer rifle, totally safe background, been shooting an occasional shot for zero there for 25yrs. I don't waste bullets on paper so if the first one is OK that's it done. So very rarely more than two shots. Farmer had a call from a neighbour 3/4 mile away and 90 degs to where I was shooting, to say bullets where hitting her fence which was impossible. Fortunately the farmer was savvy and asked was it an echo from the woodside perhaps. The neighbour fortunately then agreed that was what had been heard. So the claim doesn't necessarily have to be malicious but just uninformed.
Good point, and I have had similar. Which is why I raised the question.
I was accused of raining shot on a bloke (who I have regular run ins with.) While he was eating his breakfast. Apparently he had caught some in his cornflake bowl.
I had been shooting but at first light, so maybe two hours before he was even awake and I had been rabbiting, in a different direction nearly a kilometer away.
He came to my house ranting and raving and I told him why it was impossible. I asked him to show me the shot he had found in his cornflakes and he told me he would be showing it to the police.
I never got a visit or a phone call from the police.
Most of my deer stalking is around houses etc but I have met or introduced myself to the owners so hopefully the situation won't raise itself there.

Why would anyone want to get into this area of conflict? just don't be an idiot, least said soonest mended
Well obviously.
I just wondered.
It would be easy for someone to make a malicious claim against an otherwise innocent shooter.
-
Have there ever been any prosecutions under this?
Who would the burden of proof lie with? I imagine it would be nearly impossible to prove that shot from a shotgun had landed on your property and even more difficult to prove whose shotgun fired them.
If you could find an airgun pellet then I guess they could link it to a rifle but would the police or the CPS bother getting the forensic evidence?

Nope, I quite regularly forget to lock my car and house doors. Last thing we had stolen from our garden was my daughter's bike away back in the mid 90's.
I wonder how many people can say that they have been subject to criminal acts more from travellers than local Crims?
I can.
I deal with the scumbags on an almost weekly basis.
I have never met one that wasn't a total and utter crook.

I had a go at making some pork and leek sausages today.
All went well until I tried getting the meat into the skins.
I was using a nozzle with a 2.5cm outlet as I prefer the thicker sausages. However, I struggled getting the skins onto the nozzle and when I started piping the skin struggled to get off and kept splitting. I have managed to salvage 6 sausages which I will cook tomorrow to check that they taste ok.
I then tried a smaller nozzle (2cm) outlet. Much easier to get the skin on and piping was a piece of cake. However, skin looked too thick on the sausages and I couldn't see through it very well - just didn't look right.
I took the meat out of the skins and have put the meat into the freezer.
Any suggestions on what skin size I should be using with the 2.5cm nozzle or where else I could be going wrong?
Thanks
How long did you soak the skins before use? Sounds like they were too dry.
8 hours ago, Dougy said:I can offer a few tips for 1st timers.
Use hog casings, (avoid sheep casings, too thin and split too easy) rinse through by flushing plenty of water through, leave soaking in fresh water for a few hours, ( i soak mine over night) dont skimp on this bit,
make the mix wetter than the recipe, normally 10% water (i use cheap red wine instead) i add 12-15 depending on what mix .if i add dried Cranberrys or Apricots and smilar i add more.
Put the skins onto your filler tube wet, water is your lube, use plenty.
when you start to fill the skins pull the skin towards the end of the tube, go slow and steady, if you can, get some assistance helping the sausage out at its own pace.
when your linking dont make then too small you will struggle platting them, this is when you find out if you have filled the skins to tightly. Once you have done if you can, hang to let the skins dry a bit, they wont open up when you separate them.
This is gospel.

Your immune system is the cure
China reportedly shipped 50 tonnes of Vitamin C into Wuhan to give orally and intravenously.
Vitamin C supports the immune system by reducing inflammation by preventing the so called 'cytokine' storm or excess damage to your lungs by your own antibodies.
Drug companies, cannot make money from Vitamin C.

That's a bit less valid than putting an onion in your socks when you go to bed.
At least that was funny.

Neither the oven or cooling rack will work, they bend as the heat can be localised and over the temperature of a normal oven, my BBQ can get up to 350'c. Cast iron is the way to go
Oven racks work fine.
I went to the local tip and got two oven racks for my home made barbecue for nowt and they have been totally fine. I think it's five maybe six years old now.
