f**k me, just realised what you meant. Thought you were on about some f***ing tree I’d never heard of! No cheese, just bacon sausage and hobnonbs!
-
Not that I know of but tbh we’re still discovering stuff! Just letting light in and sorting out ready for the season this year. We’ve already felled enough to heat a village till the end of time! Getting that proper understory established in spots will improve the wood a lot.

If anywhere is getting nuked it’s western Russia to stop a 30k strong battle hardened rebel army taking the throne. And then Ukraine to save face when the occupation forces are forced back to the homeland to shore up putins control.
-
Maybe semantics but you differentiated between defence and attack. Defence against ballistic missiles is an entire field separate from strike capability. Our defence is out attack capability. But in the face of an attack, we have absolutely no defence capability. I was just clarifying that. Deterrence isn’t really defence.
-
Dunno how true it is but a thing on this I read earlier said that the implosion would have been so quick and violent that they wouldn’t have had time to consciously realise it was happening and would have literally been turned to ash from the heat generated.
-
Tbf mate we have no nuclear defences. Our sole defence strategy is our ability to attack.
-
And this is a culmination of economically squeezing the oligarchy. See if the Wagner head has the backing of real political players now. If real military, intelligence and oligarchs back him then Russia will be in full revolution. Could easy get squashed. Putin is an operator.

The sun had 7 safety features to surface it, one of which was automatic. Do you know the weight dropping wasn’t the automatic one?
-
I think it’s a shame that they are subject to mockery. I’ll always admire people who strive for adventure and experience. Even more so when there’s risk involved. At the end of the day the company appears legit. Held under the scrutiny that they will be now there will no doubt be massive failings with either their tech or processes but we all purchase services or goods with a degree of faith based on appearance. No one asks to see the safety test specs of the rollercoaster or plane they’re about to jump on. Many many other firms held under the same scrutiny would be torn apart. We only fi

You ain’t getting a gps signal 3km down mate. Theres only really one effective way of subsea location at those depths and that’s sonar of one form or another. Ideally a beacon for searchers to listen to. Clanging the hull is effectively that.
-
Surely the cocker world need to get away from using the same few selected studs? What the f**k do I know but I have and will continue to use just a decent actual working dog. Makes no sense to me to pursuit trialling blood when I want field dogs, given there are actual field dogs doing exactly what I expect of them.
-
Im hopefully a long way from my last dog but if the world doesn’t change too dramatically then the cockers I’ve got now would do me. Easy dogs that fit my life, rather than the other way round, and I could work them 5 days a week in retirement if I wanted. All about balance, even now.

Been busy myself this year. Helping a mate with a bit of management of a new 90acre woodland. Clear felling a few areas for flushing points, a pen, and generally open spots. Lots of thinning to do too. Loving this opportunity tbh.
-
Nice little write up mate.
-
On this I suppose I could test it by moving the barrel around between magazine refills to see if the zero shifts… I still reckon the mounts are wank though. Recoil isn’t the only thing they have to resist.
-
Action/barrel moving within the stock scares me lol.
-
It’s unlikely to be me because it’s systematic shift that requires a rezero. Same story with ammo. I can switch the mounts round but what is the mechanism of failure that that will help with? Surely if there’s failure one way round then there will be the other? Cheers
-
Im using the hmr more this year and need it to be ‘right’ like the centre fire. Im sick of having to rezero after missing sitters. Its a 20” cz455 with vortex viper 30mm scope. Im assuming my problem is the 30 quid air rifle mounts but could be wrong. It’ll shoot nice for a day and then one day, probably after a knock be 4” off. Everything is tight. Thoughts? Picture because we all love a picture.

Listened to a JRE podcast at the weekend with Luke combs and he described something very similar. Except his was like what he called pure ocd or something. Said it was where his mind became fixated on a bad thought which would trigger adrenaline. It’d last for ages. He said the only way he overcame it was to just accept that whatever the thought was would happen. Kinda face the fear. Sounds similar though.

4am start, a haze in the air, sun below the hills, trousers sopping wet from the dew. Finish stalking by 8am and get breakfast on the go as the sun rises and warms you. Its very special to me.
-
It’s my favourite time of year and was my first journey south this year for the roe bucks… Very much needed with my life recently. The weather has been perfect and had the strap on my mask not snapped I’d have spent the hours between 8 and 6 attempting spear some mullet too.
-
I’ve literally been telling you that since forever. Likewise big bang doesn’t theorise how the universe came into existence.
-
Ah, fair. How far in?
-
I dunno but the first thing that comes to mind is the starstreak we sent. They pretty resistant to jamming or countermeasures by nature of the type of guidance system.
-
I wonder how they’re launching the storm shadow. It’s an air launched missile that’s not officially integrated with any platform they operate.
