It's a long time ago that I was in a dealer's and was shown the gun so it was just a quick view of it, so I'm not certain of the details. Vague memory of it is that the police riot cartridges were a sort of 2 size stepped body brass cartridge with a partial crimped tapered closure. There was a sort of circular trench around the primer pocket area so the primer area looked like a sand castle. In the face there was a standing post that fitted into the trench. This post stopped the action closing with ordinary flat base shotgun cartridges along with the reduction of the chamber size. I think that the shot size was #4 but I might be imagining all of this.

I saw one once where the guns had a special base that only allowed a special cartridge to be chambered. The guns were only issued to the prision wanders with a couple of these special cartridges so that if the gun was captured by rioting prisioners the prisioners would only have access to on or two cartridges because ordinary 12 gauge cartridges wouldn't fire. I can't remember what the base of the cartridges was like but I think that there was a ring or pin that had to be aligned so that the breech would close.

Does this use ordinary 12 cartridges or does it shoot the special riot cartridge.

BUMP. Holy molie. Any young lad would be proud to be out in the field with this, as would King Charles himself would be proud to be out on a high drive at Sandringham with such a weapon. a finer bit of floor board would be hard to find anywhere. -
I read that the police have failed to ask Mercedes to track her cars keys that can't be found, so the husband has been in touch with Mercedes to see if it can be done. Even other police detectives are questioning the way in which the investigation has bèn run. What with all the rack of scandals concerning police conduct and operation it won't be long before the whole service will have to have a large scale overhaul to understand what is going on.

Well, there is a program on the at the moment. .9 to..10 ish on Fri 10th. Pretty in depth analysis of all the nown facts. Apparently the police were invited to be part of the program. .. BUT they have declined. ?????? Why.? Do they think that they are above the public.? As an aside though there are in the region of 3 to 4 hundred thousand people who are reported missing IN THIS COUNTRY every year. !!!!

When the woman police officer stated that it was their considered opinion that she had fallen in the river and drowned. Someone should have challenged her as to what evidence had this statement been based. ? The divers said that there was very little water flow in the river and bodies were almost allways found within 10 mtrs of where they had gone in and in their considered opinion based on many years of searching for bodies was that she ain't in the river. It seem as if the alien abduction or Reggie perrin theories are more considered. There are mistakes and then there is total incompetence and it falls into the later.

Locally to me a young bloke decided to comit suicide. It was thought in a local bit of forestry woodland. Plod went up there mob handed about 4 transit loads. They all amassed and had the pep talk. 5hey split into about 4 groups and did a sesrch of the woods. eventually it was declared by a senior officer that the woods had been removed as an area of interest. The bloke brother didn't accept this and worked out a search pattern. He walked the woods and found the body of his brother reasonably quickly. So much for the comprehensive police search. Usless/ not fit for purpose.

Last nighr on raduo 4 news There was a rescuer who said that because of the dire state of the Turkish economy in recent years that the lack of clerk of works inspections and application of building regs a lot of shortcuts had been taken and stuff just thrown up which is why whole streets had collapsed. It was all of the modern buildings that had incured structural failures. Down to government policy and lack of supervision. Cowboy get quick builders. The finger pointing has yet to come. He said that they knew the risks but didn't uiĺd into the structures the design and anti shake ability because of the money it cast to do it. A bit like Grenfell towers.and lots of other tower blocks, They knew the risks but built them anyway. We haven't dealt with that problem and the occupants of those fire candles are living with the probable life threatening risks, the costs and the fact that their flats can't be sold because of the problems. Lots of enquiries but no action.

From this experiment we find that I am thick and kwis is probably hacked off..... But he still runs rings around basic.
-
perhaps I am thick but surely this is the wrong way round.... I went to the link and it appeared that IF I HAD VOTED it WOULD HAVE BEEN TO PETITION the bbc to keep the clown and his mates and the program going by drawing funds from elsewhere in the bbc !! shouldn't the vote had gone to boot him out.?

It's strange how GG is pilloried but he is only one. The visable part of an iceberg of various weirdos. People like Saville and GG cross a divide from admiring to actually handling. On a foreign holiday I met up with a serving female prision officer and she told me that ( at that time) Maidstone gaol had a wing full of weirdos in "solitary confinement". But they weren't in solitary confinement as such. They were segregated from the other prisioners. She said that it was more of a school where minor offenders came out educated as to how to target, manipulate, assault and enjoy whatever took their fancy. They put themselves into positions of power, trust and access. Back in Savilles time the lads in pop groups did exactly the same. How many impressionable teen girls were willingly used back then using it as a badge of street cred... look at me I've had xyz. No one goes after these "pop stars " for exercising these underage girls.? There wouldn't be gaols big enough. Back then the attitudes were go on my son fill your boots. If it were now im sure that a lot mlre would be investigated like the footballer mendy in the news the other day.

They must have worn the keyboard out. Why use one word when ten will do. The information contained in that document is possibly very interesting but how would anyone know. It's like the government enquiry results that take years to write and run to thousands and thousands of pages and cost millions to publish and just gather dust.

Way back my girlfriend /wife saw him and the Glitterband down in Hastings park. They were playing live and exactly the same as when on top of the pops. It was raining and they kept playing a lot longer than scheduled. It a sham that it turned out that he was a weirdo. It's odd how people's brains work in all of the weird fetishes that people indulge in. A DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT IF YOU could hear what people said in the privacy of his consulting room you would wonder what was normal. I wonder how much he is worth because he ain't been spending much when he's been inside for the different times. Here and abroad. He must be bad, they chucked him out of Vietnam. I think that almost anything goes in some of these places.

Abstract art.? what is that then,? Sort of painting the garden fence or something. ?

Apart from being a litter issue, how do they become "a real problem " ?

You can't rely solely on any sort of clothing barrier. Weld splatters will get through. I have fireproof overalls. It all depends on what you are welding, how you are welding and the general setup. Clean metal along with the correct amperage helps but if there is weld splash you need to over shield the weld to deflect the splatter. Long leather gauntlets, welding hood, spats over boots. It ain't any fun getting a weld blob get through a lace hole or anywhere inside you're boot. AND as above, Can't beat the sound & smell of a welding splatter cooking in your ear while under a car welding. Can't you just smell the smoky bacon smell and hear the crackling of ear wax.!!

I would imagine that the facility is like a telescoping dustbin. Matey was working inside it and some mishap caused it to retract into the ground and he was crushed by the hydraulics attempting to stow it down into the ground as per its daytime position. Sad but an industrial accident. Some of these industrial accidents are caused by tech's working on machines and overriding things to get the machine to display a fault and because it is a non standard test things can and do go wrong. Sad result.

As above. For some time I have received ramdom emails demanding money ..or else ... my account will be deleted AND my photos deleted! ,!!! It is some sort of scam. Back when I uploaded the pictures I didn't delete my original so I still have them. Take no notice of this scam.

People say that my doctors surgery practice is rubbish but I have had no issues at all. In June I had an operation to repair a snapped Achilles tendon. Afterwards I developed an infection and my daughter who is a lead nurse looked at it and took the opinion that it was infected, (redness ) she took pictures with her phone and sent them with text about the situation. Within half an hour I received a msg on my NHS app and a phone call from a doctor at the practice informing me that Antibiotics are available to collect from the dispensary (as of now). I was told to ask reception for a blood test via phone and got an appointment for a couple of days time. A couple of days later I received a phone call from one of the doctors about the test results. I can't complain about any NHS treatment that I have been given. I don't think that all treatment is equal. But apparently things are just as bad if not worse in France and Germany who spend a ton more on their healthcare systems.

They are some decent pictures there to show this gun off.

No I haven't. BUT mother in law had one for many, many years and apart from a drive train failure at about six months use, it was good. Over the years we did many repair mods that didn't really make selling it on as an option. When the unit failed I contacted acorn that we needed a maintenance fitter out pronto and I all I can say is the woman that I dealt with was the most rude aggressive person that I have ever dealt with. Pig ignorant didn't begin to cover it. She said that they wouldn't be able to get anyone out for several weeks. I informed her in no uncertain terms that the mother in law had to have it to get up to the toilet and bed and that the unit was only 6 months old. A fitter was out the next day and unit repaired.
