  6. To be fair, It could easily have been a typo ......... Perhaps it should have read 'Rat'
  7. I did notice that Mr Wallace only said he had 'shot' foxes with an air rifle.. Never said he killed any mind you...
  8. Hi Chard, you old sea dog. I reckon the answer is a 'weight' ratio thingamajig. The single barrel would be quite lively, compared to your 682, Pointability perhaps? Pirate:
  9. Hi Mate, Sorry, Don't beleive the bit about B & Q, that cant happen!! Pirate:
  10. Hi essef: Depends on what type of shooting you had in mind, but you could kick off with this link to whet your whistle. Pirate: Hi bob33w.

    Mortgage crunch

    Markio & Sniper: Lads: My post was only meant to bring a ray of light to what appears to be a daunting path. I wasn't smugly suggesting it was an easy path, and irrespective of whose fault it may be, or what should have been done; property is expensive. I know exactly how you lads feel, I’ve been there, but the fact remains, if you want to get on the property ladder, you must find that ‘difference’ between renting and buying. I was not privileged by any means, and I vividly recall, holding down 3 jobs and working a 60-70 hour week, with no spare time, or spare cash for luxuries in the early days, just graft! (My priorities) However you may feel about this County’s misgivings, and many are undoubtedly justified, the fruit is there for the picking, you just have to reach that bit higher than your neighbour, or settle for the ‘fallers’. Good luck Lads. Pirate:

    Mortgage crunch

    Hi Sniper: It's basically a numbers game, and not as bleak as it first appears! Wherever you choose to live, there will be a cost. From the £850 pcm you mentioned, deduct the cost of an equivalent rental property, and only the 'difference', is the basic cost of ownership! Compare what return this "difference" would have brought in various investment scenario's, over the last 35 years! Admittedly, there are no guarantee's as to what the future might hold, but 35 years ago, home buyers were faced with exactly the same decisions. Pirate:
  13. Funky: We live in a Capitalist society, where everyone has the opportunity to make a good life for themselves and their families. Save for the unfortunate, who by no reasons of idleness need the help of the state, the rest of society are free to flower, and therefore support the less fortunate. The less fortunate, for whatever good reason, I am happy to assist. The idle and work-shy spongers, I am not. Is it the responsibility of the likes of myself, to create jobs for others? No. But by doing so, I am entitled to make a profit, and am entitled to spend that profit on whatever I choose, be it property, education, Stella or Bling! Myself, and all of my business friends, have paid obscene amounts of tax, and each and every one, have contributed to this country of ours in many ways. If the wealth of the Nation were to be equally distributed, within a few years it would probably be back where it is now. The tracksuit brigade, choose to dress the way they do, they choose to pigeonhole themselves. They also choose to live the life they do, and I have no respect for anyone who is capable, but unwilling to look after themselves, and to contribute to society, irrespective of how they choose to adorn themselves. They may not all be bad, but they do have the choice as to how the rest of society perceives them. I choose not to wear tribal colours. Pirate:
  14. Bloke next door's son had the lot! Tracksuit that didn't fit, loads of Bling, da Nike hood, luminous Nova, and could say 'Booyakasha' whilst flickin is fingers, innit! Ended up flogging it all cos he couldn't get the hang of walking sideways! Pirate:
  15. Hi Bob: I've got 2 fridges in my front garden, you can have 1. You can't however, have the outboard engine, mattress, 2 Cortina doors, burned out 'Flymo', or the wheel-less wheelbarrow. These garden ornaments are far better deterrent than any Burglar Alarm. Pirate: Are there any good pee stains on the mattress? Some probably are! Gawd know what the rest are! Vile!!! Pirate:
