Is that similar to kicking your own back door in.? Was that Bradford Dave.? How is it that some are on every benefit going and using food banks and yet on the other hand mega amounts of people are booking up for holidays abroad. The Mrs has been online trying to book up a holiday abroad and is having not a lot of success. Two worlds.

BUT...Do the royals still shoot very much due to the politically correct brigade. I can imagine Kate behind the line with the spaniels. I never see anything about the blood thirsty murdering royals or the anti brigade protesting about shooting etc at royal shoots. I suppose that the royals have got so many estates that they can just switch from Scotland to Sandringham to Hampshire / Devon /Wales on a daily basis so it would be difficult to know where they would surface. Now comes the questions, We've heard them all before. I wonder what sort of guns do they favour.? O/U or SbS, Chokes. yes or no. What shot size and load for a royal cock bird? I wonder what they are doing today.? Has Kate got a luny spaniel on peg.?

Our lot won't comment on it and after all they don't need to. they have the titles, the land, the jewels, the position. they have everything. They don't need to justify themselves. after a while the other lot will fade into being nothing except local celebrities.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get to the important stuff. They're just grains of sand on the wind. You can only tell the story once and when everyone has heard that story they got nuttin. What I'd like to know is who got his peg on the shoot and I'm sure that Philip or Charlie sorted him out a lovely pair of guns

I ordered a pepper mill grinder off of alieexpress in China.. delivery a week over Christmas. I ordered two tyres from Germany at about one PM and a courier deliverd them to my address next day about one pm. I ordered a camera lens from Japan. The lens was collected, processed, at Tokyo by the end of the day. On a flight overnight. At Stanstead next morning. I think that it took about 8 days to get from Stanstead to Kent. Could walk it quicker. Go figure that out.

Yet again. I don't think that anyone in the south / south east gets rid of anything. It's all more than 200 miles away from Kent.

Allways too far away or in this case a few minutes late.

Well again.Thanks basic for selling the shooting community down the river without a shot fired. Talk about white flag job. Again kwis is well pleased. It anyone goes to the gun sales section it is clear that there are lots of views but hardly any takers. It is time to really stop, take stock and for the orgs to remove digits and do something because in the current economic climate the whole tower could implode like the pack of cards. No more company cars. No jobs.. p45 time. Laws may be made but a lot of people that shoot wont even know or bother about the guns and will just shoot them. After all they've not got much value. A total shambolic state of affairs.

I was going to reply to this yesterday but I refrained from doing so. Basic ARE and have been absolutely useless for years and years. AND anyone shouting out how good they are is delusional. I read this and thought ... The prospect of execution does focus the mind . Until basic is completely dismantled and all are booted out and a new version created that does actively and aggressively protect shooting and the like then the slope is very very slippery. And that's the way it is.

A cartridge is a cartridge. if there is shot in it and it goes bang and you do your bit by putting the lead on target then that's how it is. thinking that there is a specific cartridge for shooting pigeons is a bit of a nonsense. And that's the way it is.

used the word 'ripe'! But I agree - it could easily be called 'stink'. How do you know that your Barbour stinks like rancid butter.?? = people move at least two paces away from you.

No one has mentioned the fact that they stink absolutely rank. And have to be continually greased or else the material cracks and a hole develops at the end of the crack. What this means is that in circumstances of wetness, the liquid migrates down the crease and suddenly you experience a sensation of very cold water running down your leg or wherever. The first time I encountered this was beating through kale. An emotional event.

Yes. It can be pretty bad which everything seems to be go for a good day and you spend all day or until you get fed up of nothing coming in. Been there, done that on a field of beans that had been planted, nothing. Fallen wheat, the birds just flew straight over the pattern at high altitude on oxygen. they didn't even acknowledge the pattern or the desperate attempts of the flapper to invite the birds to join. And yet the field that had been planted with beans had given a superb day in exactly the same spot on nothing. ? Just harrowed soil. Perhaps you needed a banger rope in the woods where they were feeding in the woods. Or another gun mooching around in the woods taking shots at roosting birds. Sometimes they just perch up all day.

Always too far away.

firstly I didn't and haven't stated that there aren't threads of interest on here. Secondly, as soon as I found the Ukraine war thread offensive to me I didn't go on that thread again. Thirdly, I'll shut the door as I leave. Time to go shooting, Bye

A really good example of nonsense was the Ukraine war thread. I don't have the need or want to read or get involved in pointless political propaganda for no reason. I just stopped coming on here. If they want to talk to themselves they don't waste my time. Shooting has a hard enough time without feeding idiots with conspiracy theories. The thread should have been shut down rapidly iregardless to whether forum rules were being breeched.

this. might help you. Also it makes a letter a lot nicer if it is presented on a NICE piece of paper in a Nice envelope rather than chucking out there on a sheet torn out of a jotter pad written with a kids green crayon. imagine receiving a letter from Buckingham palace or somewhere

This post came through to me as a post notification and I can't help you on that one because I run on iMac so it is all different to Windows but from when I did I'm sure that there will be a blue square icon with a white W on it to open the word application. probably on your desktop page.

Fair play. yes I agree that a paper letter is a nicer way to receive a response to this but it is even nicer to receive a hand written letter. A lot more personal than a printed out letter especially if it is just planted out in times new roman or whatever text that will probably be selected. I would much rather have a hand written letter even if it looks like a spider wrote it. Think of all of the cards written out by grand kids etc. it's the thought that counts more than chopping a load of words out of a newspaper and sticking them on a sheet of paper. Nice thought of your boss to send you a letter. you could always add your email address on your letter so that he could quickly contact you for whatever reason. Ps write out your letter in rough on a scrap piece of paper BEFORE you send it and ... if possible get someone to read through it for spelling mistakes and graphical errors. it makes it a lot easier to read. Writing a good readable letter is a skill. you only have to read some of the posts on here to realise that. Happy retirement. you'll wonder how you ever found the time to go to work.

Do you actually have to have a PRINTED copy to send to someone-? nowadays nearly everything is done electronically. You don't have to spend out for stamp, envelope , paper and ink. You haven't got to go and plant it into a postbox and the recipient gets it NOW. You still have a copy of the letter that you sent and so do they. the day of snail mail is gone. AND. if it's really important they will get it today rather than sometime maybe in the new year, AND if it is needed they can reply to you within minutes rather than mid January... If your lucky.

In theory you dont need any decoys because IF pigeons like a field then they flight onto it at some stage. I DONT have decoys set up in my front garden or around the upturned plastic dustbin lid filled with water that they love to drink out of and bathe in and cool off in the summer. I have had really good days of 70 or 80 on NO CROP AT ALL dirt. And as a flip, to this, a nothing day at exactly the same spot when it had been planted with beans. IF you get under a line or preferably 2 at a crossing and there are birds in the air, potentially they are decoyable. The flying birds don't know if the dirt has been seeded.

Perhaps I fall into this category. 1 I probably partially read 10 threads and reply to maybe 1. The reason , maybe that I feel that the threads are just a waste of time or irrelevant. Or that it is just a load of old people who perhaps used to shoot but just use it as a bit of a social club, (my late father used to be on a band of old ****) who used to talk about nothing on a daily basis on cb radio. 2 I probably haven't got the time or inclination to get involved in some sort of row over nothing. Perhaps it's the site rules that stop people getting into the melee. I'd much rather read and get involved with real shooting experience topics. I was going to write a lot more but I won't. I'm in too far now.! That could be the reason for a slow post rate.

Am I understanding this. Ok, so you think that you have identified its use but how is it actually used. If the person sending was blind, the device would have to convert Braille into readable text and the person returning would have to have a similar device to convert written text into Braille so that the blind recipient would be able to feel the message. Is this correct. ? Are there or is there a pair of these.?

Thanks for the reply. Was this renewal under the Kent force.?

Has anyone had a firearm variation in Kent in recent times.? what is the turnaround time now. And what about cert renewal times. it was horrendous at one time and they were issuing sec 7 like leaves on the wind but then something happened and they must have been told that it was inappropriate and they were then sort of extending it. Chaos
