Sounds like AC/DC Back in Black to me. sjk

Just out of interest, does anyone know what will happen to the dogs?? Will they be given back to the owner, re-homed or put into kennels??? sjk

Try www.pricerunner.co.uk for price comparisons as well. sjk

So sorry to hear that. My heartfelt sympathies. sjk

23,020 I think I spent too much time on it sjk

Just had a few Corona with Lime sjk

Try the tandy leather factory or le prevo - a google search will bring them up. The trouble is you have usually got to buy at least 10 square feet or so of it which isn't too cheap. Either that, or have a look on ebay. And once again, another great knife Paul. Is there a sheath to go with it?? sjk

I voted 2 and 5. I have owned knives since I was about 12 so for about 7/8 years, maybe longer and only ever carry one with me if I have a legitimate reason. I wouldn't consider doing anything illegal with them - it's just not worth it. The only thing I ever did with a knife that upset someone was carve a game of noughts and crosses in my wardrobe door My parents just got a bit angry, lol. sjk

I made a handle for an old blade Dad had in the garage. When I'm next home, I'll try and get a picture to upload. I'm also getting some more knifemaking materials for Christmas hopefully. It's really satisfying completing a project like it. Search for British Blades forum - plenty of useful information on there. sjk

Good news, sounds like someone took it for a bit of spin and messed up!! Idiots. sjk

That is pretty bad stuff. Our dog got attacked by a border terrier when she was a pup. Dad just grabbed it and threw it back at the owner telling him to put it under control. Our dog still scurries past the house that it used to live at!! It eventually got put down because it attacked other dogs in our village. The lad next door even got bitten when he tried to break up the same terrier and his dog. I find it hard to believe that people with aggressive dogs don't keep them under control. Hope your dog makes a full and speedy recovery. sjk

What really anoys me is drivers who don't acknowledge you when you let them out of a junction etc. What does it take to just stick your hand up to say thanks?!?! sjk

Another excellent read. It may seem a bit daft but how do you know if a stag is 12 years old or more?? sjk

I have got this air rifle and it too was my first. In fact I got it last year for my birthday in December. I would say £185 isn't a bad price for it. Mine was £249, which included rifle, scope, scope mounts and pellets. It is a great gun to use, not the lightest but it's good build quality being Weihrauch. I have got good groups with it as well. The cocking mechanism i.e. breaking the barrel and pulling it down is slightly stiff at first but mine loosened up after a little while of being used. I have found it to be a good starter air rifle and will use it for a few more years, before investing in a PCP. If it feels right for you, then go for it. sjk
