Is anyone in scotland going to respond to this questionnaire. ?

Why be worried about brands. If they go bang and you put the lead on the target it will do the job. Just get what's available and shoot. Or do what I do and reload. 28 is a fantastic calibre and really surprises in the kills that it will achieve. edit why can't you justify a 28 and why a hushpower.? If your legal why bleed the power off.? Apply full power and let them know your out there.

Thanks for the reply All info gratefully received. The holiday is a std packege jobby so the hotel is in place. I've watched YouTube vids of the landing strip. It looks to be a bit breezy there. The market area and the narrow streets. The cable car and the botanical gardens. I thought that the downhill basket sledge ride looks a bit hairy. I work on the idea of if it can happen at some stage all the parts will converge the inevitable will happen. I dont really fancy having an emotional moment with the front of a car. I see that there are lots of organised trips and things to see and do. I'm not to concerned to get up at silly o'clock to get up through the clouds to watch the sunrise. I'll just dog out in bed and catch the sun later on. I'll probably take two cameras with me be case I take literally hundreds of shots. Many of a very random nature such as twisted clump of street wiring or ornate cast drain covers along with street characters. The time will soon go by and more of a concern is whether there will be rail strikes or flight cancellations. There are more and more situations where people are at the airport ready to go or at home ready to go the the airport only to get a text that the flight has been cancelled. Fingers crossed. Keep the ideas and info coming.

That mouthy Rainer thing. The Sharon Stone movie. AND it was all done in the best possible taste.

Rainer is just one of the iceberg that is showing. I'm sure that it would be relatively easy to wind her up so that she and others make a complete scene out of it. Didn't carrot top start mouthing off about someone looking up her skirt. Imagine. !!! Sorry I posted in the wrong thread.... should have been somewhere else. Brain fog..... dementure creeping in. Is Donald mad. I don't know. What is madness?

According to a statement, the SNP raised a total of £666,953 through referendum-related appeals between 2017 and 2020. The party pledged to spend these funds on the independence campaign. Questions were raised after its accounts showed it had just under £97,000 in the bank at the end of 2019, and total net assets of about £272,000. Last year it emerged Mr Murrell gave a loan of more than £100,000 to the SNP to help it out with a "cash flow" issue after the last election. The then SNP's chief executive loaned the party £107,620 in June 2021. The SNP had repaid about half of the money by October of that year. At the time an SNP spokesman said the loan was a "personal contribution made by the chief executive to assist with cash flow after the Holyrood election". He said it had been reported in the party's 2021 accounts, which were published by the Electoral Commission in August last year. Those numbers just don't add up. AND if the SNP had 92k and assets of 272 k why did matey feel it necessary to loan the SNP over 100k of loose cash that he had floating around ,... as you do. And why had they paid half of it back.? When Salmon was saying about the £600 k that was missing, no one knew anything about this sum of money that had mysteriously vanished. Then suddenly they say that it had been already spent on a referendum.??? See you Jimmy. It's all fandabidozy. Up poop creek without a paddle ! And a flock of political vultures circle ready for a weak link to fall after the tracker dogs come a calling.

Thank, All info gratefully received.

Thanks for that. We are going to be dug in in Fuchal so we have the local options and there are an amount of trips that Tui do but they are a bit pricey in comparison to doing them off of you own. This last year we went into the local tour shops and did a tour up to mount Teide and most of Tenerife island. Another trip was across to the Island of Last Gomera on a hydrofoil and a coach trip around the Island. These were considerably cheaper than the Tui offerings.

From what I've seen of the terrain it is a lot of tall mountains with steep gorges and narrow roads that wind up and down. So far as I've seen, it looks a bit similar to an island called La Gomera which is off of Tenerife where we went last year.

We only booked it yesterday for the end of May so we've got about 55 days before we go. So time to view and plan.

" My Nan flew there".!! ☺ Your nan isn't a very good pilot. Had she been in the dog and duck before the flight? Still they say that if you can walk away, it's a good landing. I hope that our flight/ landing is nicer than that one. The flight out to Rhodes was the most exciting I've ever had. I think that out pilot was ex red arrows. All of the passengers cheered wildly when we eventually landed. I think that some of the passengers had encountered an emotional moment with the toilet.!!! We are generally beach sort of people but we split up the days between sunning, and trips of driving around. I usually ask if there is any clay shooting in the area. When we were out in Turkey they were horrified to start with because they asked if I wanted to shoot someone. 😊😊😊. When we were out on Crete the hotel manager told me about a clay shooting ground and when I eventually managed to find it, I managed to get a round of sporting in.

No, clearly you live in a past era. I grew up when there were only wind up watches but for about the past 50 years digital watches have been out there. Mobile phone became common 30 years ago . If you ask nearly anyone under the age of 40 generally they dont look at a watch. They flip out their mobile phone. I know that there are winders still out there but not so common. I do tend to use my wrist watches. One is a battery powered analogue and the other is an eco drive solar powered jobby. No wiñding, no battery, tottaly acurate to the second.

As above. what's it like, what is there to see and do there. Trips etc.

But how representative of time reading devices are you. I wouldn't have thought about people not being able to tell the time from analog time pieces until a lecturer friend found that the vast majority of his students could only use digital time because of the use of phones and computers where there are no hands. These particular students had no knowledge of hour and minute hands or where the hands were placed in regard to quarter past or half past or quarter to an hour. Even on tv they just say ... the six o'clock news etc.

How many actual mechanical timepieces are in use nowadays.? Either they are smart devices and the rest are battery or solar powered. I haven't seen wind up watches for a long time. Another angle is that most people don't carry a watch at all.. they flip out the phone. Another angle of this is that there are a lot of people who can't read the time off of an analogue watch.

I enjoyed looking at all of the cheap bargain guns that you advertised. I'd like to find a no.4 in good condition which has bad or broken woodwork so that I could transplant my woodwork onto in order to make a good one out of. That shouldn't be to impossible considering that sbs kick like a mule and how they don't have choke tubes and they have 2 triggers and their not long enough in the barrel. Everything about them is wrong and it's a wonder how they hit anything SO no one will ever want one. To shoot with that is.

Back handers.? Do you refer to the clouts round the ears that you get for not passing applications. My personal opinion of local councils of all types is that the people on them haven't got a bloody clue. Everything that they do is either biased or underhand to get things through on the nod for some reason. I wonder why?? Every village in the south east has become a building site. The local area that I am in keeps passing building permission but when it is appealed the government inspectors turn the applications down and ask why they have even been considered because the area is within an area of outstanding natural beauty.

It all depends on what they might allow trade in.

I note that the two women sitting either side of him at the announcement. The one in a tartan suit had a right face on. A face like a bag of spanners and as if there was a terrible smell under her nose as if he had just been chewing on raw garlic or that he'd **** himself or both. The other one gave him a warm cuddle. The tartan one barely wanted to shake his hand.! Tartan one would be a good match for the ginger one that sits next to starmer with a hatchet face.

I have downloaded an app called "seek" you take a picture of ANY plant or tree etc leaf/flower/bark, and it will inform you of what it is with Latin and English names and all sorts of info about it.

It's not a case of worrying about this sort of thing because we've got no control over any of this but seeing as they only found this asteroid a month ago,! Now considering that Russian one was half the size of the one that went between us and the moon, consider the structural damage that, that one did. The Russin one was an airburst. IF that one had collided with us it could have created a massive sunnamy or completely destroyed a city like London or Manchester. Considering the state of the country's finances regarding everything imagine what effect would have on our lives. It sort of makes packing a bug out bag for the prepers a bit of a non event.

It has been reported that an asteroid is passing between us and the moon today. The asteroid is estimated to be about 90 Mts in diameter which is about the diameter of the hight of Westminsters Elizabeth tower 316 ft which houses Big Ben and is moving at about 17,500 miles per hour. Now they say that they don't totally know what's out there in the blackness and they found this small one ?!!!! About a month ago. OK in this instance it is going to mis us BUT what would have been the planning if it was going to hit us somewhere.? Some may remember a few years ago that a smaller one passed over Russia early one morning. That one sort of burnt out and blew up at altitude but the shock wave blew out windows and damaged buildings etc as it passed over. see YouTube vid, Does anyones household insurance policy cover for asteroid strike or does that come under ACT OF GOD.? if you survived the impact to try a claim. A clip of the one over Russia

I wouldn't have a clue. It's all to many years ago and I never saw any. I was a schoolboy. I did hear about Coopal powder ,,,, whatever that was but never encountered any. I did go through a couple of boxes of Frank Dyke cartridges that were red paper cased It was a time of gytorp, Eley, and then Rottweil, Winchester GB and then Maionccl and SMI. I got into reloading using 80 & 82 series powders using at first a French Nemrod reloader that the girlfriend/wife bought for me. Again we just shot for the pot and fun so we didn't use hundreds of cartridges.

Is all of this about EVERYOÑE HAVING TO HAVE AND CARRY , A national identity card.? Is it because there are so many illegal immigrants floating around in the system. Some years ago I worked with a French bloke and he said to me that before the second world war that Gypsies used to migrate between France and Spain and were sort of stateless. The French decided to give them French nationality status. The French identified them all and issued passports and other documents. All went well until the Germans overran France and the SS rounded up the unwanted and shipped them off to a holiday camp. Is this voter ID a prototype trial of an ID card rollout.?

But did you take down the charging baked bean can with your 416 Rigby.. Gat gun.
