big warning here fella, if by the shore you mean the sea, don't touch drift wood, if it's fresh water you are safe, but salt water drift wood is a big know know, as the water is burnt off you are left with a strong salt content which will eat your flu and woodburner in very short time

it is hard to tell from the pics but it almost looks like the fire surround is sticking out from the wall a bit and could do with either a bit trimming off of the back or off the wall, is there a gap at the top as well or is it flush to the wall, a photo of the whole thing may be a bit more informative, and lastly if it is fitted right and you still have that void all around it you can buy fireproof expanding foam, fill the gap and stick a bit of stainless angle over it to make it look nice, quick cheap and easy

I have know religion at all, but am happy to take anyone's blessing, and as it does not appear to be directed at anyone in particular, I will simply say, cheers alha have a good one yourself,

lesson for the future, always ask for the master key when you purchase a motor it's normally a different colour and carry,s all the chip information,

. I mostly burn commercial wood IE scaffold boards 2x2 joist etc, but if and when I need logs I just cut fallen trees that have been laying on the floor for a few years, they don't need seasoning either, some wood like ash can be burnt as soon as its cut were as pine needs 2 years of seasoning, it can be a bit of a minefield but as long as you have a handful of coal to go in with your wood you can burn almost anything, in reality

Goodluck fella, hope the weather plays its part and it's the first of many

You belive that do you exactly that mate, what's more hard to believe is that a nation could do it to there own, just to score a few political points, and that the yanks are prepared to take there people to war, because the dollar is getting undermined by the Chinese, Russians, as they say truth is more bizarre than fiction, but first they need to create a common hate figure, for us all to hate so much we will send our sons,daughters and husbands to die fighting, it's just history repeating itself, I bet they will call it the Great War or the war to end all wars, just to take the piss out of

you should have them split and stacked in the spring and they would have all summer to dry out and you would get more heat from them,wf I,ve been cutting up scaffold planks, they don't need a lot of seasoning, I also burn loads of old timber like 2"-2" and roof joist, that's the reason I like to sweep the chimney at least every 6 months, just another chapter in my weird and wonderful life, I get paid to clear it up and then I get free heat from burning it,

. I don't think the misses would like the mess of a sooty chicken running round the house, in days gone by a rope was just dropped down the chimney and attached to a branch which was just pulled down the chimney job done,

I do a better job mate and as I burn a lot of rubbish I like to do it regularly, your house insurance will always try and wriggle out of paying but I,m an old fashion bloke and would never pay anyone for doing something I can do myself, one professional clean is more than a set of brush,s just like a truck load of logs costs more than a chainsaw so I cut my own, infact most of my life is probably a little frowned upon by the modern pc, health and safety, insurance claims and blames culture of today, but I survive, thanks for your concern

Just gave the chimney a good sweep and chopped about half a ton of wood, can't believe it's that time again, soon be dark nights and roaring fires

How Do You Know What Poundage Your Air Gun Is?
Greyman replied to foxtails's topic in General Airgun Discussion
I don't think you can put a tuning kit in a gas ram, unless you remove the ram altogether, and I don't think they are adjustable for power either, I may be wrong but I thought it was a sealed unit a bit like a shocker off a car, that you just slide into the cylinder, ? -
. I thought that putting them in the freezer was just to create the first frost effect, not so you can pick before there ripe, I sometimes don't see any frost, so I could not wait for the first one, I still have a few bags left from last year, I will start picking at the end of the month same with my rose hips, around me the signs are for an early autumn, and lots of the fruits are early as were mushrooms this year

. That's one of em mate he's been a top shooter for years over there, so there are a few films dating back many years,

. The first ever starship I saw was based on a Diablo with extended forks, it was called a longtom and used by one of Americas best, a guy known as blue skeen, there are a few old films on utube, with regard to being a better craftsman, it's more to do with me having a bit more spare time, and a nice big workshop to potter around in, I may be getting along in years but I,d still rather be in my man cave making bits and pieces than sat watching the shite my missus can watch for days on end, lastly if your enjoying what your doing it makes know difference if it's shop bought or home made, as lon

yes mate I,ve made loads of em, the easiest ones to make are like the one on the left its just an old crutch, you have to cut down the tubes and drill out the rivets, but it only takes a couple of hours, here's another crutch one I done the other day you might be able to see it a bit better, they shoot really well and certainly whack out some serious power, just not very concealable so I don't get to shoot em as often as I,d like, it's a bit to powerful for the garden and to big to have with you in your pocket

Looks like I,m staying behind for extra lessons again,

a mate of mine makes these but fires spuds out of them he's always after the boiler ignitions off my tatt truck,it's pretty impressive I've been thinking of ways to use it for getting my bait and rig out to unreachable areas, think frozen balls of bait with a rig in the middle is the way to go

in a word yes, but just like the rest of them, she will be rewarded and protected for her treachery, look at our own Blair and the damage he caused to the world, by starting the shit to create the refugees in the first place, then to our own country by actively encouraging them to all come here, yet he,s made a millionaire for it, they are just puppets and if they dance to the puppet masters tune they will be taken care of, so f**k there own country,s and countrymen, there alright jack

When I saw the title, I thought we were referring to gamekeepers,I,m sure many from the shooting side will be having a peek for the same reason, but here are a few, favourite starship is the wooden one in the middle, favourite natty because it fits me personally, and my favourite and only shop bought the hathcock target sniper by Bill Hayes, I also have a simple u cup made from buffalo horn that's also a keeper as it was a gift from a good friend but I can't find a pic of it

6/12 for me

think the last line of you statement is very possibly true, hence the massive growth in Bull X,s when I first had dogs in the late 80's early 90's collies were the number one cross, with the odd deerhound or saluki X if hares were your thing, and bedlington whippets for rabbiting and ferret work, you need to build a relationship with a collie X, were as you can swap a bull X for your pigeon loft on Friday and have it out working on Monday, then swap it for an mx5 a month later, it's all part of the instant gratification life style that seems the norm nowadays, I have a stunning collie X that w

i thought scoring coke and paying to drive up the marmite motorway, were still slightly illegal in England, so may just disagree with mr Corbin on that statement

Hobnobs, survival food, I eat between 3-5 packets a week, and when I go fishing I can eat nothing else for a couple of days,

And just because he told you himself you believe him,Brian is no doubt a gentleman but also will tell you exactly what you want to hear,Brian has sold a hell of a lot of pups,good and bad but if a white pup turned up in a litter belonging to him he is hardly going to say its an out cross to something else,saying even though they were kept tight sounds a hell of a lot better,and no offence towards Brian.. I have an old nuttal bitch, and ever since she was a pup everyone that sees her says I,ve never seen a staff that small, she is 13 year old now and still game for a days hedging, but definitel
