My lad has a bettinsolli crypto, it’s a lovely gun….I can’t hit a barn door with it…tried and failed. he had a 28 bore KOFs before it. If anything that was even more attractive! He’s used lyvale and fiocci steel 24g 4’s. He’s taken ducks at a more than respectable range.

I wonder how much of these comments are down to an individual owning a placid lab and seeing something with more umpf in them is misread. I have a cocker bitch and she’s…well unhinged, around people/kids/babies 100% bang on. To live with a right pain in the Harris unless kept knackered.

I’ve used gold label wax on a pair of shoes and they come up a treat and have stayed proofed for a long time, easy to tip up and buffs up a treat. it does pong a little at first so use it sparingly. Cheap as….you can do wax coats etc too using it, I done my Barbour once but never again due to the smell.

If you go for altbergs, get them from the factory in Richmond. The issue version is inferior by a fair margin(much cheaper though to buy). The sole is slippier. All of this is from experience of 15+yrs in altbergs and the past 5 in issue versions.

I've worked in Mcr since '93, drove in since '95 from both north and south of the city. It's quicker and easier to cycle in, not withstanding wakers who simply cannot drive and have the observation abilities of a mole. It has become progressively worse(both traffic and driving standards) over the past 5 years and since covid is awful probably due to the ever increasing amount of blocks of flats(sorry apartment living) springing up everywhere....who the **** can afford them!!!

Late 80’s and 90’s had some fantastic matchups. Imagine some of the fighters now offered to step in with Julian Jackson like Graham did(until the right hook he looks great).

Boxing is becoming a joke for a few reasons, the view that a loss is the end of a career, no. Fans want to see even matchups. The pantomime surrounding some fights to buildup the ppv numbers ruins it. Fury vs Chisora 3, no thanks, we all know the outcome. Marshall vs Shields…yes please I’ll watch that! As for Benn vs Eubank….another poor matchup. Too soon for Benn for me, stick to your own weight, in time he “may” move up but doesn’t look like he struggles making the limit. Eubank has talked about other fighters for years and apart from BJS he’s fought no one in their prime to justify his chatter. Pity really.

If the fit suits you, I’d echo altbergs. If practical go to the factory(Richmond) for the originals. The issue boots aren’t a patch on them. I’ve used both, and a variety of styles.

Budget?

Don’t get the hump with me, I didn’t do this. Whilst I agree with your sentiment, as has been said it’s probably not wise to call your own dog the original name unless you want constant bother.

The dog has been called trigger for a number of years depending on the channel. If you pay attention to many films, the original has been altered.....1984 is here folks!

I couldn’t care less what bankers etc are paid, I do care about tax avoidance in any sector. Especially when the is told we’re in it together claptrap. We as a country have a basic safety net along with a health service for us all, we all could need it at some/any point. To avoid paying the share deemed appropriate by whoever is in power is immoral.

Last paragraph I’d argue especially the rape gangs(ie something can be done), the CPS/Home office hasn’t the minerals to enforce the law to the letter. Girls are having to see the perpetrators almost daily unless they themselves leave the area. As for it being a Blair problem(I’d love to blame him as I think he should be tried for war crimes) it coincided with a huge sway of live let live/embrace everyone else in a societal nature. Currently to call anyone to account you have to fulfil a checklist to ensure they aren’t offended/rights aren’t violated. 🙄

Two options once the fire/gas is sorted, 1, get someone in to do it that’s HETAS registered(they can sign off their own work and you get the cover). 2, Do it yourself, contact building control(they’re usually helpful), once it’s finished you need them to come in and commission it. I went option 1 after partially doing option 2(almost well enough 10 years earlier when less info was available). As for the stove, if it’s in a smokeless area you need a defra approved stove.

PM’d you
