I'm lucky where we have a local supplier that sells his own milk from a vending machine on the farm. He had a Facebook post about this stating that he will not be using any of this cack in his herd.

What I find quite sad about it all was before the "Arab spring" or whatever it was called, Syria was actually quite a stable country with a very high level of adult literacy. Then some groups thought they could get the west to come in and route the presidency for them. Now the country could be doomed with all these rival factions. Be careful what you wish for

I don't know if I would call them victims really. What happened to the days of telling someone to go fornicate with themselves when they said something you didn't like and then getting on with your life

I think that looks alright. In the absence of traditional blue or blacking it should do its job in keeping the barrels from rusting....and cost considerably less!

Seems the bill has been passed now. A step backwards in my opinion. A radio show I listened to yesterday had a palliative care expert on saying most countries that pass assisted suicide bills then go on to reduce spending in palliative care. You can see how that would encourage people towards assisted suicide

Something I forgot to ask, if you don't mind elaborating... what part of the shooting do you think is it that is hurting her shoulder? Because this is the bit that physios or doctors with no knowledge of the sport won't understand. Is it the mount? Or recoil? From being told its rotator cuff related i would suggest its the mount.

Rotator cuff inflammation is a bit of a wooly diagnosis in that it's not a diagnosis of anything really. Remember the rotator cuff is not a separate body part but rather it is just the 4 muscles that cross the shoulder joint. I would suggest battering the NHS and demanding an MRI to determine the root cause and if it shows nothing then its back to physio or orthopedics and demand to see a consultant in sports medicine to move things forward. Do not accept anymore corticosteroid injections. If they haven't worked by now they aren't going to.

We made a fish kedgeree in home economics in high school and i havent had it since(around 1998). But instead of kippers we used some smoked haddock. I thought it was lovely but so many people holding there nose and gurning over the smell of fresh smoked fish and then just binning good food rather than even tasting it. Wouldn't be something I would eat for breakfast but for something different for lunch I would give it a good go.

Has anyone tried the Durablue aerosol sprays? I saw a couple of videos on YouTube of it being used and it looked ok. Maybe a bit expensive as its about 75quid on ebay. could be an idea for them barrels. For the receiver I would just get it powder coated.

My wife tries to batch cook them for the week on her wee electric griddle. I don't think she's made enough that make it past Tuesday yet 🤣

Ive taken a real liking to some good streaky bacon lately, not the see through american style but proper thick cut. The pancakes are what we would also have called "drop scones" or "scotch pancakes" wife makes them with irish soda bread flour and Buttermilk. When it comes to pancake Tuesday I am partial to a nice crepe with lemon and sugar!

I'm usually a fan of a drop of brown sauce but I've rediscovered the HP fruity sauce. It can be hard to find these days

Woke up this morning to the smell of baking and bacon. My lovely wife has cooked a nice batch of pancakes and bacon and I got treated to a lovely breakfast 😋

I don't know why you would bother converting a blank pistol to fire live rounds when they would be so unsafe. Do gangsters want them because they look more like a real gun? I'm pretty sure there was at one point videos on YouTube that showed how to make an automatic pistol and "slam fire" shotguns and you don't need much more than a hobby lathe to do it.

Maybe another topic entirely but coming from NI, I don't understand why the mainland still do not routinely arm all police officers. Even with the level of potential threat over here to officers it is extremely rare you hear of an officer having to discharge a firearm let alone take it from their holster (which by law still classes it as a use of a firearm) Most officers carry it like personal equipment and never look near it, even in instances where it would be justified in its use. In the instances being talked about like the aftermath of 7/7 with de menzes, from the outside perspective this appears a targeted operations where the officers would have been following protocol. Seems most of the cock ups come from the higher ups and as fecal matter rolls downhill...the ones at the bottom get hit with it. The recent Chris Kaba case mirrors one that happened in the early 2000s close to where I live where someone tried to get past a police roadblock by driving at an officer and towards a footpath where a load of people were exiting a church. Driver got a couple in the chest and the officer that fired was still getting dragged through court appeals by the scumbags family 10 years later.
