  1. Those kids had balls getting into that situation. Not surprising then they stepped up to the challenge of getting out. Brave little fuckers
  2. Gents, plenty of sovereign military hardware to be proud of today. Two of the largest warships ever built for the RN are in the water now. By the time they’re operational they’ll be on par with anything else on the planet. Also look at the BAE Taranis concept. An intercontinental unmanned stealth bomber! Amazing in scope for the likes of the UK. Frankly it’s amazing that we are still capable of producing such quality given how little the public care for it. I think there’s also a joint Anglo-Swede project just started for our Typhoon replacement too. Hopefully this one will be
  3. Has anyone seen any of the F-35s yet?
  4. Worse places. West Bay today...
  5. Something new.....something new........ hmmmmmmm Armed revolution with the immediate instalment of an acting government of the free people of Britain until a formal constitution is written up as the foundation for a new democratic state protected from the corrupt influences of corporations, the infringement of essential democratic liberties, career politicians, two party tyranny, and an ignorant and apathetic electorate?
  6. Honest to f**k can't get my head around that, and I've seen video of another yank doing exactly the same! (not suggesting it's exclusively American behaviour) I understand some folks want rid for whatever reason. The bit I can't get my head around is that they find it easier to dump the poor animal than just shoot it. Emotionally or for than matter physically. What the f**k do they think is going to happen to a dumped dog?
  7. Aye but was it daytime or on the lamp? I've heard jihadis don't run very well on the lamp!
  8. Also, I loved Longmire but I'll say at the moment Yellowstone has all the potential to better the former! f**k I need to get myself out there! LOL
  9. Streamed on kodi mate. It's basically a cowboy gang feud/war. Looks like the plot is going to have some twists and really decent cast too.
  10. Just watched the first episode of Yellowstone. Written by the same chap that did Sicario, Wind River and Hell or High Water. It's f***ing gripping! Real air of Longmire to it!
  11. For people that have no time for their dogs at all. But for working dogs it's just part of the deal. I need to earn a living and I want to work dogs. Imo welfare is not compromised at all. Dogs don't need constant attention.
  12. Better than Eva Shockey imo. I imagine a shitload of folks on seeing this will instantly judge her and conclude something negative. I'd only say listen to her on a podcast. Imo she's a great ambassador for hunting. Same as Adam Greentree.
  13. Right, it goes like this. Never f***ing mind the referendum, the real referendum is in how strong willed those that want to leave are. If we don't get what we want then that's because we don't really have the stomach for it, democratically speaking that is. If there is the democratic will to genuinely be free then it'll fester and grow and turn nasty and this political wriggling and deception will come back to bite! If it doesn't then it's because 'we' havent the stomach for freedom. I'm more and more in favour of another referendum, like the remainders want. But they'll never g

    WTF.

    We had similar problems with your lot! We’ve not forgotten! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrying_of_the_North
  15. Mate, in the guidance it is listed under the Fox section and specifically says "In windy areas, where heavier bullets aid accurate shooting, or if applicants wish to use one rifle for shooting both deer and foxes...". The HO allow 6.5 for certain fox only circumstances. Besides Stav's example said as a general purpose rifle, which to me implied more than just fox. Also in my example I only really used it as an arbitrary example. I could have used a multitude of others, like some forces not allowing 243 for fox.
  16. 13.25 Although not set out in legislation, common rifle cartridges considered suitable for the shooting of foxes range from .17 Remington, and .22 Hornet to .22 -250 and .220 Swift, though there is a wide range of suitable similar calibres commercially available. In windy areas, where heavier bullets aid accurate shooting, or if applicants wish to use one rifle for shooting both deer and foxes, they may choose a rifle in 6mm (.243/.244) or 6.5mm (.264) calibre. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/518193/Guidance_on_Fir
  17. There are plenty of ways of correcting for such. Was last time I checked the guidance. I'll check again, hang on.
  18. I think it needs more depth too though. There needs to be a factor that ranks how likely a person is to be granted too imo. Different forces seem to have different levels of comfort in granting. For instance some forces are very reluctant to grant first time FAC applicant CF, or some forces are reluctant to grant 6-6.5mm CF for fox.
  19. I'm not really best person to help with that. I'm fiercely independent and the moment I get a whiff of potentially depending on someone or becoming a crutch for someone I preempt the problem. They're difficult situations. I'd probably make it clear I can't be reliable and see how they adapt to that. If you know they're going to be needing you tomorrow, tell em you are away and be intentionally awkward about it. See how they adapt to that and go from there. I don't mind helping people but it's offered not assumed. It'll be more difficult to deal with when you do feel that there is a w
  20. I'll let you make your own decisions but I'm quite happy leaving a dog 9-10 hours with 1 walk a day. What you're talking about sounds a bit more than that. Sounds more like a taking the piss problem than an animal welfare problem but could become a welfare problem if they have no one to take the piss out of. It's not fair to make that call until it happens though imo.

    WTF.

    In 2011 it was 80% white British, 83% generic white. It's either changed a f**k load in 8 years or the statistic is bollocks. The conclusion you make is probably still valid though. I'd say to the Scottish, if what you see in English cities concerns you then have a rethink about your current politics! Cos it leads to the same place.
  22. A few months ago someone asked what lincs was like for firearms licensing and I said shite. Anyway this table was printed in this months BASC mag. Blow the image up to view it fully.
  23. Not seen one in the store but can buy em off their .co.uk website.
