  1. I'm fairly sure the law requires you to have one if you record live tv too, so don't get caught out by that one.
  2. Well I'm just waiting on some trousers. Thought I'd give em a spin. If anybody knows of anything better in a similar price range then speak up!
  3. There's a minimum legal standard set by EU law which everybody has to meet, which is where this semi auto ban is coming from. It rarely affects us in the UK though because we have such stringent legislation already. From what I have read through properly pro gun UK media (not the pretend ones that are happy with our current laws and attitudes towards gun ownership), the UK is fairly badly represented in this petition! We just hate liberty! LOL
  4. I think you'll find it is in some EU member states. Well I never knew that! I don't have a definitive list but a quick Google shows that the likes of Austria, Czech Rep, Estonia, France, Italy and Serbia all support the use of firearms for personal protection. Czech Rep even go so far as allowing concealed carry. That's without listing the countries that have a 'may issue' attitude, which is generally a stance that considers personal protection more of a privilege than a fundamental right.

  6. But it's for our safety CC. Because all these lunatics used legally held firearms, not black market imports and obviously they abide by gun legislation. I'm sure when all the guns are banned then all this will stop and it won't matter that the police and elite counter terror teams are not able to ensure our safety. Silly you! “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” "God made all men but Samuel Colt made all men equal."
  7. I dare say the likes of Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Chevron and Pfizer etc attract a fair amount of controversy too.
  8. They are all very legitimate points. And I stand by mine, if you enter the sovereign territory of a foreign state without good reason you should expect a hostile response! You're right, it ain't religious, this whole conflict is a geopolitical game and this particular incident had nothing to do with the Islamic state. It was an escalation of the conflicting stances of Turkey and Russia on the long historical conflict between Assad and ethnic Turks in Syria. Russia gave Turkey a legitimate excuse and they seized on it. regardless of the rights and wrongs of the politics, I totally support a nat
  9. And maybe the Welsh and Cornish should f**k us English back off to the continent? We can't live in the past. The Turks defended their territory forcibly after, I believe, numerous Russian infringements, I'd be a hypocrite to condemn that, no matter what I think of Russian or Turkish policy on Syria or the region more widely.
  10. Russia ain't going to be attacking Turkey. What they might do is ruthlessly bomb the shit out of ethnic Turks in Syria as 'revenge'. That is after all what they were doing in the first place which led to them straying a mile into Turkish territory. Russia has repeatedly taken the piss out of foreign states territorial sovereignty in the past few years. In the last month alone they have been testing Turkish patience. Credit to the Turks for not standing for it, the Russians won't be so keen to take liberties with them again. This 'event' has had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the
  11. Are you the big fella? It's important I know so I can come up with some suitable abuse in retaliation for the past years worth! LOL
  12. You mean tuffty? Haha More than tufty! I'm starting to question what I know about genetics, which ain't a great deal. LOL
  13. Clearly a lot of THL members have very handsome milkmen judging by these pictures. LOL LOL
  14. Why are we even talking about the poxy twentytwo? Seventeen hummer is ten times the gun......
  15. 40 times since 2006 Google says!!! Could be wrong like....I'm sure you will know better than me. We tend to send a couple of jets up as a warning..... Not our sovereign airspace they haven't! They enter our ADIZ unidentified to test our response times but DO NOT enter our sovereign airspace. If a Russian fighter entered our actual airspace without a f***ing good reason they would be shot to bits by Typhoons.
  16. I've read it a few times where our jets have intercepted the Russians for violating our airspace. I don't think you have! They have entered our Air Defence Identification Zone which extents well beyond our sovereign airspace. They are very careful not to violate this because they know what it means.
  17. We'd let a foreign fighter enter British airspace....... Remind me of the last time a foreign fighter illegitimately entered our sovereign airspace........ What just happened on the Turk/Syrian border is completely expected. It's not ballsy, hard or foolhardy.
  18. Just had a quick google of the plot, sounds cool. I love films like that that make you question life and existence etc. Thanks for the heads up. Interstellar is another 'thinkers' film. I hope it hasn't given anything away? Give it a watch you'll love it I'm sure. Yeah Interstellar is an amazing film too, how either of them didn't win any awards I'll never know. I read the whole plot. Don't worry, I always do, doesn't spoil the film though.

  20. Well there's a chap in Nott's (among a few others nationally) that seems to have made a business from it so there must be!
  21. Our little shoot bagged the first woodcock of the season this weekend. Where we are it's very poor woodcock country, the most we've ever shot in a season is 3 I believe! LOL Neil, I feel your pain regards lost woodcock. Last season I set out to shoot my first snipe, having never really bothered before and with seeing good numbers in the boggy rape fields it was the sort of challenge that keeps this sport fresh and exciting. I didn't think I'd need a dog so left my usual companion at home resting from the previous days beating. It was a beautiful sunny and cold winters day, within 100 yards
  22. Probably because they're not on the Israeli border and because they are causing enemies of Israel a right headache. If the Israelis wanted to start striking ISiL targets they would have to violate Syrian or Iraqi sovereign airspace, which I have no doubt normally they wouldn't think twice about however with all manner of advanced jets flying about already, it'd potentially cause them just a little grief.

  23. Chip chip chip............ "we're doing this for your safety, trust us"
  24. What sort of long range hunting do you do mate? Are we talking mountain hunts shooting sheep and elk etc across valleys? Or flat plains type stuff, coyote and antelope etc? Interesting thread......
  25. Fancy a hunting site having shooting forums..... I blame the Muslims.
