The End comes to us all, sooner or later. Brave words and man. If he has passed on to the Forever Happy Hunting Grounds, may his journey have been comfortable, with those closest to him around. I hope the pain/shock eases soonest for his remaining Family and all those who knew him well.

Hi Had several (stents, total 76mm on same heart artery, first failed after 3mths, 2 more added)............ 🙁, via me wrist, and awake during 'procedure'. Interesting to say the least - watching and feeling 'tugging' inside thee on a screen! I did state that I was 'not guilty' and there was some mistake, as gurney looked like I was about to be put down.........to ease me own mind! Bruising on wrist nae so bad. L

Hiya Houseplant Thank you for sharing your lovely experience. Area and sea look pristine! L

Hi Hmmm, seems a thing of many parts - the number of Firearm Licencing Services and their machinations........ My most recent renewal (almost 2yrs ago that resulted in a formal complaint, but thats a another story), previous 'secuity arrangements' perfectly acceptable (20+yrs!), and suddenly become 'unacceptable' unless alarm fitted (no new firearms requested) or refusal will ensue! Then, though I made a formal statement (via email) that 'necessary' alarm had been fitted (we all know what a 'false statement' means within a firearms application/renewal), an appointment was made to duly check that it had been installed and working................ No change in circumstances, not in a 'difficult' area (HOG and Statutory Guidance), or any other record on Polis National Records (Subject Access Request, though Local Records withheld due to formal Complaint in progress). The complaint found in my favour, and seems the FEO '...does not cover my area...). L

Hi Shambam1962 As always wonderful craftwork! Not 100% ye say - not to my eyes the antlered one! L

Hi Gordon R Ah yes, Regime Change' under a different umbrella - Afghanistan and the Talibs - the US eventually conceded - didnt heed British Empire history but found wanting that hi-tech military is not always the answer. Vietnam and our own Troubles in Ireland, more recently Iraq, Libya, Syria...... Sure, poke Iran and it adds more fuel to an existing fire...................leading to more swamping our shores and holding us to blame for and keeping the fire of 'ideology' going. L PS - One groups' Terrorist' is anothers 'Freedom Fighter' - remember Mandela and ANC in South Africa?

Hi Gordon R Almost certainly just rhetoric - leave the Palastinians with the small slice of their own land upto this point, with out external 'embugerance' and no visions of Greater Isreal, they and the neighbours will have a different mindset. Norman Finkelstein, John Mearsheimer some commentators that speak/write as it is and without having a narrow focus or bowing to any external influence..........U-Tube has many examples. L

Hi Tightchoke The Isrealis call it 'mowing the grass'. L

Hi Please be aware 'Recovery' is not the same in the fine print or when questioned in detail - I have gone to RAC after my neighbour forensically interrogated both sides after his daughter broke down in Londinium at night and no towback to the Homestead in Oxon Ford. L

Hello Eyefor Much appreciated - had the link on previous PC that died - can move on with an issue that has dragged 15mths plus! L

Hi I would have the Trapper Hat please - PM on its way! L

Hi Concur with Jaymo - local shops around Perigueux just seem to work with 'common sense' (yes there is some around)!. Decathalon didnt have what I was looking for......... L

Hi If the 'road' is Highway Maintaned at Public Expence (HMPE) then the Public have a right '...to pass and repass without hinderence...', unless something else applies, such as a Road Closure etc. Highway usully consists of carriageway (road) flanked by verges (or footway), Sometimes the verges are owned by the adjacent Landowner. The Landowner may own the 'subsoil' under the highway, but highway rights 'trump' this and he/she cannot obstruct the highway. Highway verges are supposed to be maintained by the Local Highways Authority...........if not then it is the Landowners responsibility not to 'obstruct the highway' - much like we should not be letting foliage grow beyond our property to obstruct the footway (also highway). There is something in Law about Members of the Public 'feeling threatened' etc. on the highway, or a Public Right of Way (PROW) over Private Land, which is likely to be investigated. Highways Act 1980 prescribes far more details..... L

Hi If at all possible try both sizes and see which work for you in the field........... My 10x42 havent been used from new (wanted higher magnification option) - too heavy, or more likely I have had and used 7x42's for far too long......focusing too slick/fine on the 10x42's (go past and have to come back).....
