I have been thinking of indulging myself and getting an old landy,preferably one someone has given a bit of TLC to. I want to know how reliable they are as I wont drive it much in the week but just to have some fun in at week ends.I dont think it would be off roaded much either, just green laning. I don't want to get into Landy's V's others as its been done here already, but as a change from my company car I know it would make me smile ,as long as it wasn't up on a ramp all the time

good luck, let us know what happens.I've applied for my cert and still waiting for a visit. -
when you sit and watch how smart animals are at surviving and how amazing and beautiful nature is despite the crap that man does to it.I don't belive anyone can in their right mind say its evolution. As for man, well as Ghandi noted ,if man even lived by the principles that Jesus said in the Bible we would not be in this mess.Mans selfishness and inhumanity is a simbol of their taking the easy route and excersising free will. Thats my view.

Thanks to all who gave me some ideas where to stop for cider, especially to Levs with his Ciderbrandy tip.Turned out to be the place I'd seen on Rick Steins food heroes. The Cider was great and they do a bottle fermented cider like Champagne,its great and perfect for drinking to celebrate the England Rugby win last w/end.I have another saved for the the England v France clash.It will be chilled and ready for a celebration even the caveman Chabal can't ruin...

I think its my Somerset roots coming out, I am just loving it,can't be bothered with wine or beer lately.So I am trying to try as many different types and regions as I can.I don't really remeber the Cider my Dad used to pick up when he was down there for the week ,but my Grandad used to tell me some stories of how it was made to put me off, you know rats in it and stuff :sick: All I know is there is more to Cider than Magners!!

This ones for all you zomerset boys, I am driving through to devon on friday and would like to stop and get some real cider.I know there were some great places doing cider when I was a kid visiting my grandparents in Burnham on Sea area but I don't suppose so many have survived. I hope you locals can point me in the right direction Cheers bagpuss

Hi all, theres a guy on e bay selling Gun Cabinets based in Redbourn Herts. under the name GDK Trading.I am interested in buying one but the add doesn't say "Police approved" and I have asked him 3 times if they are police approved and he wont reply.I suppose I am answering my own question and should take it that the lack of response is answer enough.Has anyone bought one or knows of the company? As a first time applicant for a shotgun licence I dont want to make any mistakes so advice is always welcome cheers Bagpuss

Cleared out the freezer before the BBQ, found a few bits of rabbit and some Pidgeon breasts. I put the rabbit in a bag with some Pattaks tandoori paste, some natural yoghurt and some lemon juice.Gave it a good mix and left it for a few hours. We BBQ'd it slowly and it went down a storm with the men,the girls were a bit fussy but hey its there loss. Its easy try it.

Cheers guys, this will be my first Shotty so if I ask any stupid questions go easy. I have found a mates dad who has a 12 bore Mossburg hushpower I can go and look at.Is the 12 bore bigger than the 4.10 :wacko: I've got time to ask these questions as I havent sent off my forms yet.
-
Due to certain restraints on where I can shoot I have decided a Hushpower would work for me. But, before i rush in let me know what You've tried or experienced. which is best out of the pedreti, baikal and mossburg? Please tell me honestly what guage and gun you've tried.

I bought one as everyone raves about them, I just could n't get on with it.I think it just didn't fit me well, and even though it was lighter than my BSA Hornet, I found it awkward to carry for long periods. probably me but I've gone back to the Hornet As A plus point the Air Arms Magazine works better than the Hornet one!!!! Hope that helps a bit
-
I have just bought a Hawke sport HD scope, I also added the flip up covers for protection. When I mounted the scope on my BSA Hornet it was clear of the barrel, but with the rubber covers on its touching the barrel. So, the question is, will this affect the scope zeroing ?
-
Don't listen to them, this is a domestic crisis!!!! Get some vanish oxy stuff, you mix it with water and then squirt it on the stain and rub it away.My wife decided to drink too much red wine and then throw up all the way to the bathroom that stuff got it all up now does anyone know how to get cup rings from waxed wood tables?

Problems catching mystery beast in our ceiling
Bagpuss replied to Madcowz's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
I had the same problem, I knew it was a squirrel as neighbours had seen it go up the drain pipe and into the roof under the tiles.I put a squirrel trap baited with apple in the loft Nothing, so after some advise from here I used Peanut butter and within a day or so I had a very large angry squirrel banging the cage around looking for help.I helped him on his way alright :whistle: Hope you catch him soon.... -
Is it a mk1 or mk2?
-
I tried the AA s410 , it was good on power but I just didn't seem to fit it so, I have gone back to my Hornet Multi it does the job well. Hope that helps!!
