They'll vote in Jeremy without a beard. Momentum have too much of a grip on the party and when people don't vote for a woman they can claim sexism as well as the rest of the pejoratives they level at the working class.

Why do you think she was wearing odd shoes?

Interesting to know, cheers! I'm wondering how long it'll be before they tackle the most prolific of greenhouse gasses? Clouds and water vapour are by far the worst offender, they just haven't found a way to monetise them yet.

So they know that planting trees and other ecological measures could be used to drastically reduce CO2. Instead they promise $TRILLIONS to poorer countries (give money to poor countries to buy control... sounds familiar...), start-ups, alternative energy firms (rich getting richer, just "their" rich, not the other rich) etc in a vain attempt to appear to be doing something about the upcoming crisis. I don't get it Surely the UN could just come up with a number, twelvetysquillion trees would see us carbon neutral within 10 years, then work on plans to implement getting them planted. Poorer countries wit more space could be paid to plant, the richer countries could plant what they can (not stealing land a la Labour) then offset the rest?

I thought I'd heard/read that burning doesn't release all of the CO2 the plants have stored (in the ash maybe), then the new plants take in what's been lost, plus a bit extra, effectively? I'd be interested to see how they could claim a CO2 increase if that were the case.

I fitted one for a mate through plasterboard into thermalite. We found the best way was : Anchor bolts, not pulled too tight but seated further in than the edge of the plasterboard. Threaded rod the same diameter as the original bolts with a nylock nut and washer on the end. Resin the anchor bolt in place (we tested prior and used Vaseline on the threaded rod to hold it in place and allow easy removal) and use the threaded rod to hold to wall. When removed it's easy to fill the hole like it was never there.

Not sure about SbS, but I found my Benelli Vinci S1 much more agile than my Lanber OU. Even with all 11 in it was pretty light and a PoP to chuck about and shoot for practical.

Would guns such as your still be shootable, or do they end up purely ornamental?

Oh yeah, didn't spot that, been looking at the multi-lenses this morning

Nice one, 2 for £30 each!!

I've been watching him for years and met him a couple of years ago at the world skills show. Nice chap, but he's all about his YouTube business. He's a clever lad and knows he'll not get rich smithing, so he's focused on getting more views, subs, likes and selling merch to build a profitable business and it's working for him. I helped get him some welding sponsorship, listening to him talk about the future of his sponsorship you could tell he'd got a totally business oriented head on him. The move to the sates was driven by his main viewer base being overwhelmingly American, being over there makes it easier and cheaper to run competitions, sell merch, hammers etc. There are also better sponsorship deals out there. I'll admit I don't watch as religiously as I used to, though do enjoy the odd video now and then

A few things on the forum changed a week or 2 ago. Ads, not having to click OK when marking a forum as read, quoting etc. They seem to be back to "normal" now, at least for me

I can't get either of those deals!! Which model did you go for?

I was looking at them in Kirklees the other day, they're a bloody bargain!

One comes from a position of experience, training and official capacity, the other from a position of assumed intellectual superiority?

Probably mate, though that'll be a low bar 😉

Ah, confusing Affordable Housing with the Starter Homes scheme that was pretty much scrapped in favour of other initiatives, like Help to buy schemes and ISAs etc. They've got to make sure the house builders are well supplied with Ferraris and yachts, otherwise they might not get out of bed in the morning!!

TBF I think him, and most forces are following the Home Office guidance, which probably needs to be changed yet again (Or burned entirely and written not by morons). I'll ask him again soon as he was due in the office to talk about some changes this week. Just reading section 11A of the Firearms act and it makes more sense with what you're saying. I'm assuming the guidance will follow suit if it hasn't already. Cheers for the clarification

I shall raise it to his superiors, "Some bloke on a forum says your FEO knows nowt" Unless it's been clarified recently the Home office deems occupier as: “includes any person having any right of hunting, shooting, fishing or taking game fish” Would that not include those with permission to shoot on the land?

My brother lives on a new estate with a couple of hundred affordable homes (Affordable being bloody subjective) There are rules for house builders to abide by regarding the number they must build AFAIK

Law or guidance? The FEO I spoke to advised that the land owner was not, by definition, the occupier. The Occupier was the person physically on-site with permission to shoot there.

Thought I'd share this nugget I just came across. In my search for wellies I ended up at Go Outdoors. They had the Muck Boot Derwent IIs in at £72 and they fit fine. A quick Google showed them at £60 online but I'd have to wait and possible pay for shipping. Noticed at the till they had a price match, then an extra 10% off following the usual caveats; must be in stock, not sale price and UK VAT reg company. Showed the lass at the till, she sorted it immediately so I got the boots for £54 in the end. I know they're GO are to everyone's taste but might help someone grab a bargain in a pinch. Cheers

Some really good points there. One thing I'd not considered is that the clay is always moving, so even if you could see the shot you'd have to know the exact point at which it would have passed the clay to know where you missed. Interesting info guys, cheers

Yep. I checked on this recently. Anyone with permission to shoot on the land, be it private land or a club will be classed as the occupier and can, therefore, lend a shotgun to a non-cert holder as long as they're not knowing disqualified for possession of a firearm.

Hi All As a newbie to clays, having a practice the other week got me thinking. The last lesson I had the instructor was saying, just behind, above, below etc. I couldn't see the shot at all so I assumed he was just watching my barrel as I tracked the clays. This led me to wonder if there was anything that could help us see the shot in flight. It may be impossible due to pellet size, but would day-glow orange, pink, yellow shot help us see shot placement for more accurate teaching? Does anyone even do such thing, or is it just pointless? Appreciate your thoughts. Cheers
