  1. And me, I have also never watched a single episode of any talent (or lack of ) program, or any other cheapo prime time junk mass viewing trash. Celebrities go to the shoe shop, celebrities eat their dinner, dancing in the car park, celebrities build a wall....etc etc etc. I absolutely hate it, boils my blood particularly as I’m paying the BBC to produce this utter drivel.
  2. I watched the film a while back, I was half way through drinking a nice beer during that scene and nearly choked to death, very funny.
  3. Absolutely spot on. That was also my conclusion.

    Woke

    I had to google it a few weeks back, I had absolutely no idea.

    lifeboat

    An excellent and very underused word.

    Top Gear

    First TV show for a good while that has made me properly laugh. The three of them seem to have a genuine chemistry, at the expense of each other. When the entire back axle dropped out of Mcguinness’s car in last nights episode, it was one of the funniest things i have seen on TV.

    Its pretty rough here in the midlands. Me and the kids were just watching the national grid chaps cut up a massive tree thats just smashed down onto the main road taking the power supply with it. Most of next doors garden is now in mine, but we are now cooking marshmallows on the open fire and playing board games. Quite nice really.
  8. Jumping from Windows to an Ipad is easy, they are very instinctive and none of the sub menu/sub menu/ sub menu you get with other tablets. Jumping from windows to a Mac Book is not that easy, I had one and struggled with it, so much so I often ended up googling how to find things. I’m an IPhone/IPad person through and through now but.....apple are a ruthless bunch, regardless what they say, whenever a new iPhone /iPad comes out the older models are “unable to update” to the latest IOS platform. After a while they suddenly slow down for absolutely no reason and the battery life drops off. This has now happened to me with two iPads and 1 iPhone, both are now used by the kids. My eldest son is so sick of this he has just switched back to a google based platform. If you go for it buy the very latest model and hopefully it will last for at least 5 years. Best of luck👍
  9. My mate used to say that. He got his Mrs to agree to having a third party in the bed so he could “pleasure” two women at the same time (his words not mine). It worked out so well that his Mrs decided she liked women more than him and gave him the boot. How we laughed and reminded him of his bragging, on a daily basis!
  10. Funny enough I watched that programme last night on C4, I was surprised he decided to announce it the day after the Barrymore documentary. I was in the mob when it was still an offence and you got jail time then booted out if you were gay, or suspected of being gay. A bloke on my shift was gay, we all knew even though he tried his best to hide it. He came out 25 years later and was genuinely surprised that we all knew and couldn’t really care less.
  11. A few years back I was on an overseas job and a USAF Herc arrived. After we had plugged in and shut it down the captain jumped out of the crew door, came rushing up to me and asked for the nearest thunder box, I duly pointed it out. In his haste to remove his flying suit he dropped his personal protection weapon into the brown triangle of doom. We taped a plastic bag onto his arm and he had to “delve deep” into the brown triangle to recover his Sig. We were rolling around laughing whilst he was trying not to thrown up. It later transpired that he was the 2nd most senior USAF pilot on the deployment and he honestly thought we would get it back for him. We educated him otherwise!
  12. Absolutely, I have had to stay in some horrible places over the years, some as low as 3 star....I didn’t know the ratings went that low.
  13. Steady... our field skills may not be up to the standard of the army, however, our technical skills and finding the best restaurant/nightclub when deployed into some far region of the planet are way in excess. 👍
  14. They make an absolute fortune off the military. All personnel who live in SLA ( the block in old money ) have to have individual licences for each room. Gone are the days of locking up your TV in a cabinet when they arrive on the unit. Some blocks have 100+ rooms and there may be 25+ blocks on a large unit. Multiply that by the number of bases for three services in the UK and it’s quite a sum of cash. I believe the police and NHS staff have the same policy.
  15. Fully agreed. I may try the grow a pair approach the next time I go out to miss a load of Skeet. I will repeatedly shout get better at myself and hopefully it will work. I will also speak to my buddy who survived a light aircraft crash which killed the pilot about his fear of flying and tell him to stop chainsmoking and grow a pair. Fantastic advice, why didn’t I think of it earlier.
  16. Always the way, go in for one thing, come out with a new gun. I went to my local RFD a couple of weeks ago to have a look at a 20g Lincoln for the Mrs. Came out with a 12g RS12 for me. I wonder if they will make a sporting version of that 525, look lovely in my cabinet.
  17. No problem, best of luck with the search👍
  18. Cheers Figgy. I told the Mrs that once Xmas was over and the kids were back at school I was going to pack the vape in for good. Funny that when I gave up boozing I didn’t struggle at all, smoking/vaping is a different matter. Absolutely agree 100%, if the things were not available, I would never have started. 30 years later I’m still trying to give nicotine up in one form or another. Horrible stuff that I’m depending upon.
  19. Apologies, I didn’t realise you were in Denmark. I’m not sure of the rules over there and I’m uncertain if you can buy from the UK and have it shipped, I would guess the answer is probably not but some people on this forum will definitely know. You say you tried one in the gun shop, did you actually shoot it? The reason I say this is because I have had a gun “fitted” when I first started out shooting clays. I was terrible with it and once hit 2/50 because it wasn’t fitted correctly. I subsequently sold it and lost quite a lot of money and nearly gave up the sport.
  20. I’m the other way, absolutely the most possible nicotine level in my vape juice. I gave up the fags 15 years ago, like a fool started again when I got divorced. Stopped again 6 years ago and suffered with chronic insomnia, it went on for about 3 months and I ended up of sleeping pills which were horrible things to quit. I went onto the vape back then (the horrible ones that looked like a cigarette) but since moving onto salt nic I’m vaping less and less. Hoping to drop down a level this month with a view to quitting ASAP, insomnia dependant.
  21. Go to the nearest gun shop/shooting ground with a good selection. A good ground will usually have demo models in stock of the most popular models, of which the 525 and silver pigeon are. You may not be able to hit a barn door with a 525 but find another brand suits perfectly. Once you have narrowed the choice then make a decision and either buy from the ground/shop or scour Guntrader looking for the best deal. Best of luck.
  22. Give the main office a bell tomorrow am, they have always been very helpful whenever I have called. 01905 727547. The new website is a bit of a nightmare and just keeps sending you around in circles, I use the old version which is still on line.
  23. Ditto, My buddy and I don’t take it seriously at all, it’s just a bit of a laugh and some chill out time away from work. We both have above average days and some absolutely shocking days. I had an amazing day the other week with a brand new Fabarm axis RS12 which I had just bought. I went down with my pal to show him exactly how “good” my scores were a couple of days later and couldn’t hit a barn door, still we had a laugh, at my expense.
  24. I’m with West Mercia, considering how busy they are the service is faultless. Renewal has just been done, the majority done on line. My GP received a letter 3 days after I submitted my renewal and I was not charged for his response. My buddy who lives just down the road applied for his and his Mrs initial application. His GP wanted £150 each for what amounts to 10 mins work. Nice earner if you can get it.
