What Cartridge Would You Recommend
Born Hunter replied to the lamping ferreter's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
It might also be that your gun is choked more openly than the gun you previously used. Even with a substantial cartridge if you are shooting a very open choke then you'll not get enough pellets hitting the quarry to deliver the quick kill you are maybe used to at a given distance. I'd perhaps pattern it as well as checking the shot size of the cartridge. -
All school rules like that do is condition a kid to act like a sheep. It f***ing destroys creativity. More and more schools are starting to realise they get better exam results when they relax shitty rules about uniform or haircuts and let the kids be more individual at a time when they're finding their place and how they fit into the world. They reckon even 'un-schooling',literally not teaching your kids a thing and just letting them do what they want,is getting better results than any school. My oldest flexi-schools,and hasn't learned a thing from school except maybe manners with

Gotta agree with that. Trace-ability of my meat is fairly important to me these days. I buy half pigs and full lambs off a mate, kill enough small game and bambi to feed myself on it daily and gift plenty out. Munjac backstraps for tea last night, fallow jerky stored in the cupboard, pigeon breast kababs marinading, one of my bricks of game terrine from Feb out the freezer to chip away at as and when. The more you work with the basic product, the better you get at turning it into a quality meal and so need supermarkets etc less to do the job for you. I try to eat a lot of game and enjoy experi

I can't see any prosecutions coming. Without going over the 2M word report and going off what others are saying, nowhere does Chilcot make the claim that the PM or Parliaments actions were illegal or deliberately misleading. From what I can gather it focuses more on the failings of government decision making and strategy.

Finally Narrowed Down To Ranger, L200, Or Hi Lux
Born Hunter replied to Moorside's topic in 4x4's, Quads & ATV's
http://www.diesellpg.co.uk.There has been diesel lpg conversions for a while now or well my old man has one That's very interesting. They seem to be selling it on performance increase rather than economy, do you have any idea what it improves economy by? 10-30% increase in power could realistically be matched by a decent remap at half the cost and without the need for a gas tank. -
Not used either of those products, but I'm sure they're all much of a muchness. Don't Altberg themselves recommend dubbing your boots when still damp after cleaning? It's what I always do anyway. I've given their Ledder Gris a go but tbh prefer Meindl Sportwax, it seems to penetrate the leather better.

Finally Narrowed Down To Ranger, L200, Or Hi Lux
Born Hunter replied to Moorside's topic in 4x4's, Quads & ATV's
I thought you had a Hilux? Mine does 30mpg average and 36-38mpg on a run. No mate I've got a Vectra estate. Really fancy one of these pickups and need one really but I'm a bit of an MPG lover. My Vectra does 40mpg driven hard around town and close to 60mpg on a run driven steady.If you worried about MPG convert one to LPG I have a forester and I get around 200 mile for £20. Definitely worth doing especially on big 4x4That's never crossed my mind to be honest mate. Certainly worth thinking about. What sort of money is the conversion? Not sure to tbh but definitely worth doing. Iv heard its -
More like Nigel's about to jump party surely? With a Brexit vote aren't UKIP now obsolete? I think UKIP are a long way from obsolete, quite the opposite in fact! However I'm on the same wavelength as you regards Farage's motivations. I reckon stuff is going on behind the scenes and this is a tactical move..... Boris ain't leaving the most powerful party in British politics at a time where he's basically overturned a government to jump in bed with a party that will never really compete at that level. IMO.

This I found hilarious. A true example of British snobbery! "I gradually realised that whatever I happened to be speaking about, the number of voters in my favour dropped as soon as I opened my mouth." f***ing LOL

LOL, that's a loaded question!

Dan Hannan out of preference (I think), Teresa May out of pragmatism.

That's where deselection comes in These MPs that have tried to instigate a coup against the leader can expect to be deselected by their CLP at the next election and then their constituents can decide if they want them to carry on as an independant or elect the new Labour nominee. Although I wasn't aware of the technicalities of it all that is kind of the conclusion I had come to, you can't move forward effectively when the leader/members have one political ideology and the majority of your MPs have a separate conflicting one. For them to be effective in Parliament they have to all be

With another two shadow cabinet ministers gone, the replacements for the initial wave of resignations no less, at what point does it become undemocratic for the official opposition to continue as it is? I accept that if the people support Corbyn then surely he must remain but equally if he can't pull together an effective opposition then suddenly the Parliamentary system fails in spite of the direct democratic support for it's leader, no? There's direct democracy and then there is Parliamentary democracy and here we have an example of the two conflicting.....

The Leave campaign were in no position to make promises and as a result did not. They were essentially a pressure group fighting for opportunity. There was not manifesto and so no promises. They did not represent the government so how could they make promises? The Leave campaign ARE NOT the Government, so what does it matter what their politics are? If you don't want them governing you then exercise your democratic right!
-
I'm in two minds over this. Either they're using the 'Norway model' (with acceptance of the four freedoms) to effectively circumvent the will of the people by choosing the nearest non EU option available or they're using it to calm the markets with a false promise of full EEA access while they get their shit together to go to negotiations and actually get a decent trade deal that is to the benefit of both parties without having full EEA access and therefore having to accept the four freedoms. The Norway option may well be a step in the right direction but I fear it is not sufficient and fr

Use a mix of imperial and metric at work. God bless the Yanks! LOL. This is even more backward, we don't measure the velocity of sound, we measure the slowness! Awkward fuckers!

First question that comes to mind: wtf is a 'police liason'? Also, what's the context, I mean, what organisation did the journo belong to?
-
Entirely possible. Default SNP strategy is publicly disagree with whatever the English say to stir dissent, privately they're probably half reasonable people. LOL

Not the first time I've watched this chap. He's an extremely talented public speaker. Relatively unknown to me to be honest but on the face of it he's exactly the sort I'd like to see come out of this as PM. He's the sort of man that speaks clearly and articulately and would give the world and markets the confidence in an independent UK that we absolutely desperately need. Non of the major figure heads for the campaign up until now could do that.

The UK hasn't a clue what libertarianism is... Len, you're talking about social liberalism. I'd LOVE one, but it's not the politics of the British, by nature were raving authoritarians! We've taken a big step in the direction of freedom and the first thing a lot of folks can think to do is start banning stuff!

I don't know enough to comment further but I do see how removing the implications from the EU on the matter makes it less hassle by removing at least one problem. But as you say, it may well be the case that other factors still make it a no goer.

There isn't actually anything binding current member states to being signatory to the ECHR. We went over all this when Gove wanted to right a British Bill of Rights remember? Of course it will be different if we ever want to rejoin.... The thing that sort of does bind us to it is the Good Friday Agreement. In legislation, but politically? Really? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36149798 "But could the country, as Theresa May suggests, leave the ECHR and abolish the Human Rights Act, but stay in the EU? That's tricky. There's disagreement between lawy

Anybody actually interested just look at the actual data. Not on reduced scales, look at the data over a 3 month period and on full scale. It's hardly devastating....
