  1. Norfolk is fabulous and only has two downsides- It takes forever to get anywhere In the summer North Norfolk is full of Sloanes Other than this it’s awesome Its on my list for retirement time...
  2. Of course, but with bots and hft in a hedged strategy and risk managed portfolio with the right algo and enough liquidity these guys are making money without shadow of a doubt. In a flat market there isn’t enough spread to hedge effectively and returns are poor.
  3. Don’t ignore the fact that generally, volatility in financial markets is good news for sophisticated investors, nothing more unprofitable than status quo (not the band)
  4. Great, thanks guys, I now feel £400 better off!
  5. Great, thanks.... You are correct, no cartridges make a miss a kill..
  6. Excellent, that’s what I bought, are they enough though? One of my American colleagues said they aren’t a goose load, although I guess goose shooting in US is different..
  7. Hi Guys, possibly been done before but conscious of new stuff launching all the time.. im trying to find out whether or not I ‘need’ a new gun.. Are any of the 3 inch cartridges ok for goose? If so any suggestions? Thanks
  8. Exactly the same here, feel bad for not shooting more in spring and early summer, at least they could have been eaten and not suffered...
  9. 😀 I share the same affliction.. Mrs was very confused when l arrived home with a hairdryer!
  10. Thanks for the tip on the hairdryer, made life much easier and it is therapeutic, I ended up looking for other things to wax..
  11. Agreed, although the whole thing is a bit cringey really, maybe that’s their thing!
  12. Can’t begrudge the fieldsports Britain guys making a living...
  13. Never been to Bedfordshire but the local sporting guys are very 😀

    Thanks Gordon, I hadn’t thought about the costs but after two weeks there is more cash in my wallet than normal.. Starting to feel really great now and sleeping like a log, although seem to be shattered ... did you find this?

    Problem is I’d need ten beers to get through a show with him in,
  16. Indeed! Scary how many are probably coming in, amazing really there are more problems

    Myxy

    Not quite shooting related, some ground near me has had Rabbits left in piece, they aren’t on crops just non agricultural grass so no one minds them and they are quite nice to watch. However they have succumbed to Myxy in a big way having inky just bounced back. I assume it’s best to cull them to put them out of their misery and hope the next batch are more resistant.. Dont want anything to suffer
  19. Hey, it’s was your comment about tip earning companies in the country, 25 M per year won’t be anywhere near the top

    Packing in booze

    I commented on a thread a few weeks ago and a couple of others were going to follow suit.. I thought it might be useful to support each other to maybe inspire/warn others depending on how it goes. Although I didn’t feel drinking was reckless or out of control, I had fallen into the habit drinking 2 or three beers every evening and sometimes more and had also put on a stone since Christmas ( a time when excess is the norm) probably 2 stone year on year and wanted to do something to break the cycle. The problem I found was that after 2 beers I would raid the kids crisps etc and that was the fundamental issue in weight gain. So, after 9 days, it’s been pretty easy, I haven’t suffered the **** taking I had expected ( don’t want to not to go the pub) and I have discovered Adnams ghost ship alchohol free which isn’t as terrible as I had expected ( however for gods sake don’t try St Peters zero) and satisfying that urge for a beer, although it’s still high calorie so a shift to diet alternatives is in progress ( very sweet though).. I definately feel mentally Sharper already, sleep is getting better and work shirts aren’t as dangerous as they were when I need to do top button up.. I don’t think I ll give up alchohol for ever, couldn’t never drink champagne again as a start but I’m definately dry until the autumn internationals, I’ll need a drink then as I have already realised how boring drunk friends are when I’m stone cold sober. However I’m hoping that this will break the habit for good and with a healthier diet and some exercise I’m hoping to lose 1.5 stone by Christmas, and keep it off!
  22. Steve, look into legal expenses that you get with home insurance, that might help or worst give an advice line. They might be able to help with cease and desist letters to remove the offending comment, financial remedy will probably be out of scope as that could get lumpy..
  23. Shame Netflix never took more series as availability elsewhere is patchy
