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!!!

Lads in work have said the whole event will be cancelled, if so there's going to be an awful lot of boxers and punters severely upset by all of this.
Absolutely, the great fights my old fella talked about and then the Eubank vs Benn era were good because you didn't know who would win.
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?

Trigger was simply NOT the dogs name, and should never be betrayed as such.
shame on those that are trying to rewrite history.
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.

I’m a big fan of Douglas Murray. What we are seeing now underlines the failure of integration in historic multicultural immigration policy as British born fight British born over a foreign cricket match.
Looking at the enclaves around Birmingham, Bradford, Walsall and Leicester etc we all see it and know it, but nothing is done because of the depressing reality that nothing can be done when race or a religion are at the centre. The northern rape gangs are another fine example of the mess we have got ourselves in.
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.

Sorry, should have been more specific, its an independent/dedicated feed from the fuse box/consumer unit, I don't think its a ring.
If that’s the case it isn’t hard to do, you just need the schematics(to make it easier for a layman)to follow.
I’d urge anyone who isn’t competent/confident to still get a spark in to sign it off/inspect it. Should run cheaper but I’d argue most tradesman will be on the lookout for jobs now people are cutting back so it’s still worth a quote for piece of mind, especially if any nippers are about.

stung everyone to pay for large pay rises for the big unions
Or ensure public services aren’t raped into complete disorder….I’m no fan of labour under Blair due to Iraq however at least the majority of services weren’t on their ****.

It doesn't matter who's in opposition. once things are this bad (as they are right now) people will vote for the oppossition on the basic that it couldn't be any worse than the current lot.
Wait until the next year or two, as people come off their fixed rate energy bills and fixed term mortgages, and come onto the new deals. There's a lot of people in that position that haven't been effected yet but the pain is on the way.
Its beyond belief the decisions made yesterday, hard times all round, businesses going bust from energy crisis, etc, so they give people who earn over £150,000 a big tax cut.
Agreed, I cannot imagine the logic(beyond idealistic intentions) that bailing out energy companies rather than going for public ownership wasn’t/hasn’t been considered.
If this was another country there would be riots on the streets by now, if France it would of been 18months ago!Bankers-no cap on wages….nurse-sod you have your minimal increase(wiped out by inflation) otherwise you’ll fuel inflation rising you peasants!

You should only have one socket running off a fused spur, unless you mean a ring running from a fuse from the main fuse box.
Depending how much electrical items he’s planning on using it would be best to have a separate ring run to the room ideally via armoured cable(incase someone gets excited with a spade).
For the sake of safety get a spark in to quote. -
I wonder how bad it has to get before hindsight makes voting Corbyn seem like a viable alternative to voting this cesspit of selfserving tools in?

Screams of admitting they’ve ****** up in the past, also screams **** the poor, let’s get rich guys!

She’ll be back at some point, we have child rapists up and down the country stripped of passports that are still here. The country can pass all the laws it wants, if the cps isn’t willing to enforce anything or the prison service is too full(and/or rehabilitation services are stripped of support) then as a nation we’re ###.
However, as a father and knowing how balloon headed teenagers are something doesn’t sit well with me.

Why are Gamebore Super Steel 32g carts considered non HP in sizes 5 and 4 ... but the exact same cartridge in size 3 (still all the same complements and 32g) are now classed as HP ...
BASC guidance says only shop bigger than size 3 is auto classed as HP ...
This has confused me whether I can use the GB super steel 32g 3’s through my Spanish Master SxS choked 1/2 and FULL.
I asked my local cart supplier this as the print on the box for GB 32-3’s states from memory 3 1/4tonne or something v similar, there was then a piece of loose paper inside each box saying it must be fleur de lis. 1350bar…talk about contradicting themselves…if it was the US they’d be getting their ***** sued should there be an issue!
An email to them produced nothing of worth!

Received my S7 via email.....is this a common thing?

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.
