  1. 2016 called, they want their thinly-disguised racial slur back. Tell you what, Climate Cymru or whatever the hell you’re called, how about we fence off some areas in public parks for the exclusive use of dog walkers, like a lot of places in the US. Would help contain the clueless owners & allow their hounds to socialise. Wish I shared your optimism. Are you beach body ready?
  2. Yea it’s not to everyone’s taste, and the pricing is very strong…but I quite like the styling. Am sure it’ll do well.
  3. I put some bids in today for what I thought was strong money & everything went for way more. Pretty sure it’s all amateurs bidding each other up, no way the trade is getting stock from auctions at this point.
  4. Maybe point your friend at the countless threads on here with people unable to even get a doctor’s appointment, much less have any sort of preventative healthcare. Sorry but at 60 you’d need rocks in your head to do anything other than visit the UK, and even then try your hardest to avoid needing medical care. This is unlikely to be fixed anytime soon, too.
  5. Have a bump and a price reduction to £125
  6. I haven't had a TV licence in 5 years so have not watched the BBC's coverage, and I'm a bit of closet US politics junky, so safe to say I'm not in the same boat as you. That said, I checked out of the BBC's coverage of the US a lot longer than 5 years ago, as I found it completely one-sided and lacking in any journalistic curiosity. It could be argued that the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania ave has quite an impact on your everyday life in Britain; The US Foreign and Energy policy impacts far more what you pay for food and energy than whatever the current UK government does.
  7. That is absolutely crazy and I hope BASC are all over them like a cheap suit. 'Resourcing issues' - Translation; the only person who understands how to use NFLMS has gone on maternity leave and they're just going to let stuff pile up till she's back.
  8. Well at least you gave her a chance to prove herself. Incidentally, are you of the opinion that the current lot are doing a good job, all things considered? Annnyway. To my mind, she had a real job before entering politics, which means she's likely to be able to empathise with the electorate's concerns far better than say...the entire front bench on the Labour side. Whether she can turn the party round remains to be seen, but her other job, leader of the opposition holding the government to account, is more vital than ever at the moment.
  9. Thanks will pass on this one; 7hr round trip takes the shine off the deal unfortunately. Sure you’ll have taker soon though
  10. Where in the country are you champ?
  11. Can we please, please put the oil and gas reserves question to bed. If we're talking about a Norwegian style sovereign wealth fund, then you should know that the reason Norway could sell off its gas is that they had very little need for it domestically. Their terrain permits hydro electricity, and heating can be done with wood. It's also strange that those who bang on about the oil and gas squandered opportunity are the same people who are vehemently opposed to us actually using our reserves of oil and gas. Usually it would, in fact, be better for the planet if we did, but nuances such as the laws of thermodynamics are seemingly lost on them.
  12. The most likely outcome there is an out of control car, still heading in the direction of your colleagues or bystanders. Perhaps you would care to enlighten us on one of these many options you allude to? Can you explain for the slow-of-thinking such as myself, what mistake he made?
  13. Double trigger, 28” barrels, 14.5” LOP, previous seller listed chokes as ‘Improved Cylinder’, I don’t own a choke gauge so can’t verify. Would make an excellent rough gun, bought on whim from an auction, used last year on our DIY syndicate, straw baler and on my rough perm. Only reason I’m moving on is I have too many guns and need to thin out the collection. Not HP Steel proofed, at this age, but I doubt anyone needing HP steel is going to be in the market for this gun. Would prefer F2F, am located 10mins from both J22 and J23 of the M5 (TA9 area postcode). My local RFD charges £55.
  14. So you’ve got senior civil servants briefing against their old colleague within (checks notes) 100 days of her starting. Poacher turned game keeper disliked by poachers, how unexpected. She was always going to be an absolute liability because of who she was; the fact Starmer chose to hire her into the chief of staff role just further demonstrates, IMO, his complete inability to empathise or provide leadership. Those who thought her Partygate was a massive, biased waste of time and resources asking the wrong questions, really had their opinions confirmed when she jumped ship from that sham straight into the Labour machine, and thence no 10.
