  1. The decideers between Wales and Ireland I reckon.
  2. I count myself lucky as I have work though it can't be started in this weather, however if it had not been there I would find it hard, all the lads locally are struggling, builders merchants moving nothing all sites are dead....................whats New Zealand like just now fellas, thats if theres any Kiwi's reading this.
  3. Its the cold I know,the last 2 days she's been okay, though I thought I was gonna keel over a couple off times she just wouldn't go, thing is I rely on it as I have stock too feed and we've been snowed in 3 days the last week. I think the battery needs some tlc or a change, thank you lads for the replys and advice. I had an XR600 that would stall and only at the lights and then refuse too start till the lights were red again.
  4. What size off carcass is it ,it looks small too me and old.
  5. This week the Grizzly has started just clicking a bit like a fast "tactactactactactactac" when the keys turned. Now it will turn over maybe the once, then this happens. Is it the battery losing its grunt or the solonoid(if it has one). Its a bitch too pull over by hand !

  7. The makings off a good dinner there Arvey, none out my way though....well not when I'm there.
  8. didnt pay thier tradesmen much extra though Exactly Transit. I earned a good wage for good workmanship back in the early 's. Thatcher then brought out the 3/6mnth training courses for lads too learn a trade. Arseholes filled them and came on site to compete at less than half my rate. Some where "hungry" and tried hard, most were sh1te. We had too cut rates and standards and on price work the subbies laughed all the way. My mate who still does sites and shopfitting is only £3.00 more an hour than I was getting shopfitting back in 86/87 NOW. They haven't just dumbed down the Uni-degr
  9. A salesman drove into a small town where a circus was in progress. A sign read: 'Don't Miss The Amazing Scotsman'. The salesman bought a ticket and sat down. There, on centre stage, was a table with three walnuts on it.Standing next to it was an old Scotsman. Suddenly the old man lifted his kilt, whipped out his huge manhood and smashed all three walnuts with three mighty swings! The crowd erupted in applause as the elderly Scot was carried off on the shoulders of the crowd. Ten years later the salesman visited the same little town and saw a faded sign for the same circus and the same
  10. ffs, never a day go's by.
  11. Stubby I don't go on site any more because of it. If I'm a bona fida time served C+G paper carrier (which I am) thats all the proof you need of a proper,warts and all apprenticeship. Now if you ain't but have learned the art or trade without the usual training route then yes, this would be needed to prove practiced knowledge. I was asked for £150 for each of my lads to be able too stay on site, I have and onc and advanced-craft. I feel I've done my time and then some why should I prove my competency too a quango brought in too create work for the abundance of penpushing graduates who want too
  12. Ratman thanks...it made me laugh, really thats ace.
  13. A mix of three of me nippers names......then we had another which are now initials at the front of the business name..J.H.Macberran
  14. Bougth a 452/2 @ auction in .22WMR...£. Just used the iron sights till 2yrs ago then stuck a chinese 6x40 something or other on it, hit everything I was AIMING at . Last night checking the zero down the club, all in 3" and 2 bulls @ 100yds. Great wee gun and I must admit quite unloved but cared for. The auctions are there and .22's cheap as chips just take someone with you if you're not confident. JMHO. Oh yeah and CCI's 40grn. Recoil is not to be worried about.
  15. Georgia, has this been tried on you ?
  16. Who is your REAL FRIEND? This really works...! If you don't believe it, just try this experiment. Put your dog and your wife in the boot of the car for an hour. When you open the boot , who is really happy to see you?
  17. A Greek and an Scotsman were sitting in a Starbuck's cafe one day discussing who had the superior culture. Over triple lattes the Greek guy says, 'Well, we Greeks built the Parthenon,' arching his eyebrows. The Scotsman then replies, 'Well... it was the Scots that discovered the Summer and Winter Solstices.' The Greek retorts, 'We Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics.' The Scotsman, nodding in agreement, says, 'Scots were the ones who built the first timepieces and calendars.' And so on until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion. With a flourish of finality
  18. Impressive though..........like Possill when you've a suit and tie on.
  19. 1st is 1/4 2nd is 3/4 3rd is open 4th is full 5th is 1/2.... This would be my take on it anyway Del ,only the 3/4 and full thats 2nd and 4th( imp mod and full) can,t be used with steel, though 1st,3rd and 5th (imp cyl, cyl and mod) can.......... I think
  20. ..wow that is definately scary,........... they might go on and have children someday
  21. Dogs get serious worms of pigs I find, any body else come across this. Like f------g pythons
  22. Yeah I know SS, thats why I bought one. Ran it in did everything by the book though I was getting a wild shot like I was "pulling" it plus the poor patterns. Down the range my friend tried it, and the same. In the end what I found quite by accident was a score just below the crown inside the barrel,not pitting a score it had been back too supplier once already. It had come screw-cut from GMK at new and as it had always fired "off" for the 2nd time I took it back. Bearing in mind I had history with my case from new and it had only had 150 rnds from new I was hacked off. Next time when I buy
