TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Not sure about the legality of the £30 fine that the Football Association has slapped on this Club Owner who had the temerity to sue a picture of himself holding a gun whilst on Holiday in America. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg9e219w30o SHOCKING abuse of their position.

Gordon R Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 The FA seem to have gone out of their way to find something which offends them. Quite happy to push rainbow armbands and laces, but object to "I love Jesus". Just who sets the FA's standards? I notice "taking the knee" has thankfully ceased.

That's really cringy. I have no love for the FA, their promotion of right think and their persecution of those who don't kowtow to their preferred ideology, but you'd be a bit of a **** to put that kind of photo in a non-shooting publication.

Scully Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 Perhaps we should bombard the FA with emails, comparing their attitudes towards someone posting a photo of something the people of that country enjoy as a human right during a foreign holiday trip, whilst questioning their ( the FA’s ) morals of receiving funding from foreign countries which have prehistoric attitudes towards human rights, women and homosexuality. I’ll fire mine off as soon as I find time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to mention their inclusion of men in women's sports and the banning of women who even question this. 15 hours ago, Genghis said: Still none of the FA’s business. Cringy or not. If you put an organisation's stamp on anything it becomes their business. You don't do questionable things on company time or as a representative of the organisation, even if you are a volunteer. Common sense and well publicised now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what maker of gun he uses.? Holland, Purdy, Boss or Baikal. ? 🙂 AND I wonder where Harry's guns went to and who got his peg in the drive. absolute shame spaniel left on peg. Still I expect that Kate went to get the spaniel ,give it a kind word and a stroke. What a clown that boy was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Boss guns, bloody lovely but too bloody expensive" so said George V. I'd guess Purdey. Harry's stalking rifle that was listed as sold, or for sale, on the internet was a Holland in .243". Which rather is a waste of a Mauser 98 action IMHO. I did nearly, once, buy a .240 Apex (or rather my mother offered to buy it for me) but settled instead for a Pafrker-Hale M81 Classic in .270 WCF. I think a better use of her money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine has a Boss 12 sbs that was made for a Gentleman back before the first world war. The Gentleman went off to do his bit but got killed.! The family kept the gun and used to send it in to Boss to have it checked out and serviced even though it was never used. He always wanted a Boss and when this one came available he got it. I'm not sure what it took to get it. There was talk of 32K but there was also talk that he traded a Holland Royal made in 1880 something for Ralph Payne Galwey and a Charles Lancaster 12 sle which was made on a 16 action. All guns were exceptional in all ways mechanical perfection and beauty in wood and engraving. All I can say about the Boss is WOW, stunning in every way a pleasure to look at and handle. Not exactly in the same class is the Parker Hale .270 which I have as you have. Although i really love and appreciate the quality of Purdey, Holland and the like, to me they are a tool. I don't think that the deer know the difference between my PH .270 and my Mamlicher Luxus stutzen 243 Win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought them the best of the London makers from having read the poem "The Battle of the Guns" in Purdey's book "The Shotgun". Mine was made in 1922 for Captain S A Watt who lived in Leicestershire at one time. But nice as it was I have a French Fusil Robust Model 28E made in the same 1920's period that actually self opens better than the Boss merely easy opens. So yes it was a better tool and that, to me, was all the Boss ever was. The Manufrance does it better and cost but £240. So the Boss was sold a couple of years back. But for quality they win over any Purdey any day. IMHO anyway. Edited December 7 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to see the response. I’ve mentioned before while on a trip to Venice we were sat outside a restaurant having a mid day coffee when about 30 primary school kids traipsed past, obviously on a trip. Nothing strange about that, but each kid wore a baseball cap with ‘Perazzi’ emblazoned across the front. I was chuffed to see it but equally sad that it wouldn’t be allowed in our PC and priority muddled country. Imagine the outcry if that happened here. There’s something seriously wrong and disturbing about the direction we are heading in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
