Overweight/lack of self care or a total lack of class. Anything else can be considered in the bigger picture but those two are killers.

I have Mark. Da12 area. I only have .22 closed so have to get written permission send it off before I'm allowed to shoot the land. if you have a closed condition, I.E words to the effect, the .22 rf rifle and sound moderator,shall be used for shooting ground game and vermin, over land deemed suitable by the chief constable for the area the land is situated, you do not need to send in permission slips before shooting, PROVIDING the land is passed for a .22 or above, and you have permission obviously.I think that's the thing with the closed license is that you do need to send in the permission

Those ultra runners are unreal! 100 milers and 24hr races covering nearly 150mi! These people are mentally ill! LOL

I didn't really read as a kid, but one book I did have, and still do, is an astronomy book. That really influenced me and it's interesting to look through it now and see how our understanding of the universe has developed...

Says who? What other case? The two lads arrested were let out on police bail the very next day. No charges.
-
As of yet no one has been charged, two lads are on police bail while the allegations are being investigated. Just because two monitors fell down a banking and got a few cuts doesn't prove anything. It's bad publicity for the Belvoir and for hunting but until there's a prosecution it's nothing of substance. I had to laugh, One of the twats, Roger, gave an interview where he said the violence is getting worse and it's only a matter of time before someone gets killed........... short memory eh Roger, one of your lot has already killed a hunt supporter with a f***ing gyrocopter! That's okay th

Not a f***ing chance would I consider it acceptable for it to be named that f***ing ridiculous name! It's perfectly acceptable to suggest it though. This is the problem with putting these things to public poll. The public invariably take the piss because quite frankly they don't give a f**k about the issue they are voting on.

Reccommend Rounds For Sako Finnlight 2506 ??
Born Hunter replied to dax17's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
No idea about the rifle but as a fellow 25 shooter I run Nosler 85gr BT as my standard round. It's devastating on fox, excellent roe round and drops mature fallow bucks well enough, though if you're regular shooting such big deer in the boiler room I'd probably favor a SP. It just doesn't seem as frangible as might be expected, meat damage on Roe is quiet acceptable. Makes those occasional 300 yard shots a lot easier than if you were using 120gr SPs. -
I'd of thought brain tanning is the cheapest? If intended as decorative more than functional, then no need to smoke after I believe. Don't take any of this as fact but my understanding of the basic theory is as follow. Dry the skin and flesh it (don't think it matters which order), then paint on liberally a brain/water solution, then 'work' the wet skin stretching it until dry and supple. The smoking afterwards is only really necessary for clothing that is going to be exposed to the elements.

Lol, not sure I believe it tbh. He's explicitly said that he wants a United States of Europe under one currency and one army..... hmmmm brace for the punch line.... I couldn't give a f**k either way. I truly respect everyone's opinion on this. Just seems too much like the beginning of a joke from him.

Total bollocks! 25lb rat indeed. Haha garbage.

"I was in Berlin, and the churches there are doing the most extraordinary things, as are the German people," the archbishop said. "They took 1.1 million last year. And it does make 20,000 over several years sound really very thin." f**k him! Britain is THE largest financial contributor to aid for the genuine refugees and will be a more significant player than Germany in a lasting political solution to this problem with the Russians, French and the yanks. Germany's 'charitable' actions has caused a tidal wave a chaos to role over Europe!

Why? He'll have good relations with Russia and stay out of Israel/Palestine/Iran's business,where can the conflict come from? Except disgruntled Mexican gardeners,and there'll be a nice big wall to keep them out He wants harder sanctions on Iran, he wants to pressure the Chinese into sanctions against N.Korea. His position on Pakistan is similar. He also wants to step up the bombing campaign in Iraq and Syria rather indiscriminately. Which I'm sure won't cause any problems. He changes his mind so much though that he might decide he's mates with them all tomorrow. On

No matter who wins this presidential election, it's going to be historic. Clinton: the first female president Sanders: the first Jewish president Cruz: the first Canadian president Rubio: the first Latino president Trump: the last president!

The rule of thumb makes sense. Certain large expenditures are necessary irrespective of population size, others increase as a function of population. However, I don't understand how that brings into question the conclusion that less need of government will result in a lower cost of government? My thinking, and it may very well be incorrect, is that if you cut back on government services then quite logically the government requires a smaller budget and therefore less tax revenue. I'm not denying that for any given service, a larger population will result in a lower cost to each individu
-
Max, how can I quantify the impact of immigration on public services? I haven't attempted to but you seem to be sure in your own evaluation of it at half a Trillion pounds. A value that in the absence of some substantial evidence I find very hard to believe. I've told you our net contribution to the EU. I've also given a reasonable idea of what corporation tax revenue would be. You are plucking numbers out of the air without a care for the facts. Now I'm completely open to having evidence presented to me that would question the validity of any facts I've presented and thus the conc
-
So you think that 2/3rds of the government budget is spent on the effects of immigration? That's just incredible!

Those 3000 people at the top are paying 45% tax on their earnings over £42k and they make millions. If you dropped them down to 25% you'd receive less tax, with the tax from the majority of people not even coming close to making up for it. You'd have even less money than you do now and be worse off. I wouldn't be worse off, the politicians would !.......I always hear everyone saying "ohh we need to run the country"........yeah!?......exactly what do you want the government to do for you that you couldn't do better yourself with your own money? Everyone complains that politicians take the p
-
So you think that taking into account the £12B in UK Aid, £8.5B in net EU costs and the impact of immigration on our services that these things total up to approximately £500B a year? Do you have anything at all that would support this?
-
So quick google on corporate tax avoidance/evasion gave official figures as £4.7B lost! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/revealed-47bn-corporation-tax-lost-through-evasion-and-avoidance-as-royal-mail-is-sold-for-650m-less-8874873.html The real loss is likely to be significantly higher, as HMRC does not count controversial “profit shifting” schemes – run by companies such as Google, Amazon and Starbucks – as tax avoidance. One expert tonight estimated the true figure could be as much as £12bn a year. So potentially £12B lost. Even at a 5% higher rate, the revenues generated
-
So a 25% flat rate for everyone, including corporations, on earnings over £10.6k with no other sources of tax revenue.......... Okay, here's my maths; Average UK salary is £26.5k with approximately 31.4M people in work. Now for the sake of simplicity we can probably make the assumption that all of those earn over the threshold. This gives a tax revenue from private earnings of £125B. I'm struggling to find data on the full value of UK corporation profits to calculate the potential tax revenue but based on revenues from the current 20% rate which generates around the £40B mark, this

I don't know Max, and neither do you, it's just populist ranting which when closely scrutinised usually becomes less popular in my experience. But I'm not able to closely scrutinise such a complex plan anymore than you are. Knocking off the cost of EU and Aid is easy. I can't really agree that he's hammering the working class, he's raised the tax free allowance and raising minimum wage I believe among other working class benefits. He's hammering the Middle classes if anything. And if we want to talk about fair taxation and who's been hammered lets talk about North Sea Oil. Has it been

I wouldn't say that's a fair analogy. I'd say a fair analogy is taking over a team that looses 10-0 every Saturday and are slowly being relegated down through the leagues to turning the tide on the poor performance, getting them into a position where year on year they are losing less games, even winning some. The clubs descent slows to the point where by the end of the season it looks like you won't be relegated for the first time in years (I'm having to assume there are a lot of leagues here, LOL)! Not only do all the stats point to the confident prediction that you won't be relegated but to

That depends on the alternative........ If the company isn't balancing the books and only staying afloat by borrowing more and more money to stay open then a CFO that reduces the amount that the company has to borrow year on year to the point where in the near future the company will be able to balance the books once again and begin to reduce it's debt I'd say is excellent management! The alternative is the company doesn't find a way of balancing it's books and it goes bust. You CANNOT even maintain your debt level if you cannot balance your cash flow. The deficit has halved, which means
