My first thought was some sort of Marsupial, a Wombat or similar. I'm not seriously suggesting that but it was my first thought, LOL.

The fieldcrafter looks very classy in cocobola Matt. -
Thats what I heard re the DSC2 and .243 although I cant remember where from, news to me about the shotgun mind. Where did you find this out from, can you remember? I can't remember I'm afraid. I'm vaguely recalling a short TV piece with a bloke demonstrating it all...................

I'm sure I read all marksmen are DSC2 qualified with min caliber of .243 and max rifle range of 70 meters and max shotgun range of 15 meters.

Wonder what the excuse will be this time?.................... lack of ammunition due to ongoing conflicts perhaps................. or maybe this time they underestimated the terrain and will have to put it off another year untill better boots are sourced................ If I was a betting man...................

Would you still be required (as with a rifle) to provide permission letters and landowner info with the application SS?

Very well put Malt! Stability in the Middle East is in everyones favour. The yanks do what is necessary and we stand by them as their closest military ally.

I'm now wondering if he actually has any fingers left.............. He's lost them all from one hand and now got frost bite again, presumeably on the other hand! Think he's lost toes in the past as well, remember something about it dropping off in the bath and he left it one the side.............. which his wife found later on!
-
Something about his skis bindings, couldn't fix it with his glove on so took it off and got frostbite. Madness looking at some of the stuff he's done and his matter of fact attitude to absolutely staggering events. He's ex 22 Regt. as well.
-
Unfortunately he's had to pull out of his utterly staggering attempt to walk across Antartica in the winter! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21571870 I'm not one for hero worshipping but if I could meet any one person in the world it would be this man. He knows no limits! He's an inspiration. Game doesn't begin to describe the heart this chap has!

Get down the clay ground and practice on rabbits. One persons 4ft is anothers 10ft!

Britains £10B Aid Bill To Be Used To Boost Military Budget!
Born Hunter replied to Born Hunter's topic in General Talk
I have my suspicions to....... Even if it's not, £Bs will still be pissed away and what the military get will still be less than they were and have to be spent on peacekeeping type operations. It makes sense but sounds like a dirty way of trying to appease us. -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21528464 Makes sense to me, rather than piss money into corrupt systems, put it into our military to sort out the corrupt systems. A bit clever really, in a backhanded way, appeasing us all that don't want military cuts but want aid cuts without actually doing either directly. See what happens.....

Your Gonna Be Jealous Hahahaha
Born Hunter replied to GEOFF.223's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Reading sporting gun yesterday, alegedly the market for steel shot pigeons is quite lucrative............. The hawk/falcon lot buy them for their birds. Might be worth considering if you're gonna be shooting good numbers......... -
Getting ready for the poults and preparing for next season................. Lots of late evening dog walks, clay shooting, pubs and BBQs. And work have kindly promised me two holidays....... they think I'll be working, lol.

Just out of interest mate....do you therefore consider the AA organisation as " unworthy " ?....its not a charity and its full of addicts many with no intention of fighting their weakness.................what is a genuine case when it comes to addictions,do you have to admit your an addict before you qualify as a genuine case ?......................Alcoholism as a disease just doesnt work like that. I dont idolise the man either,in fact i dont idolise anybody....except maybe Bobby Moore .....................you dont have to idolise a sports star to feel compassion towards them. Unwor
-
Gnasher, you've missed my point perhaps. I wasn't saying whats the most worthy, but what is worthy and what isn't in my opinion. Black and white, no shades of grey there. An addict with no intention of fighting their weakness isn't worthy in my opinion. I can't help but think of MANY genuine causes, like the example I gave. Nothing silly about that. I don't idolise the man, so have no more sympathy for him than any other like him. People can throw their money where they want, I wouldn't call/judge anybody for it either.

Lets be honest, it's not a daft move trying to improve ties and relations with India. Any of the BRIC nations for that matter, India is an obvious one for the UK. They are gonna be spending serious bucks on military hardware over the next 50+ years. Get in there and take their money or watch the Russians, Chinese, Yanks or French do it.

I knew this would get mentioned. Bring in as many foreign students as we can I say, charge as much as we can and bring money into the country! Our university education system is world class, the developing countries of the world send their kids over here because it means they are sorted, our degrees are regarded so much higher than their native degrees. It's just business. I don't worry a shite about foreign students coming here and buying our education. It's a product we are selling, not a gift.
-
I certainly agree with your general point. But then I'm not influenced by his hero/legendary status. I'm just looking at the whole thing as objectively as possible. I can't help but think of soldiers with only one limb left and scarred to f**k sitting proud, quiet and strong............... then think of the mess of a man this threads about........... that's all there is to it for me, no further debate needed to justify my feelings on the matter.
-
People have the right to throw their money where they like, just cause or otherwise. Personally an addict wouldn't get a penny from me, a friend that needs help would get as much as I could give but as soon as I thought them a lost cause that would be it. Harsh maybe but I have little sympathy for addicts.

Well said Scot, my sentiments exactly. UKIP have to keep up their credibility!

Wasn't it last year some nonce in prison was literally gutted by a couple other loony toons in there with him? Another one I felt sympathy for........

I always tell them they must be the milkman's, it's a running joke here! I've also got brown eyes, they haven't! My eldest daughter (not in picture.. ) has got my eyes, my eldest boy has got hazel eyes like my maternal granddad and one of my brothers, and my other daughter and youngest son have got bright, bright blue eyes like my paternal grandad! My two brothers and one of my sisters started off fair haired as kids but now are as dark as I am too, likewise my wife who was almost white headed as a kid from the photos I've seen. Don't you just love genetics! Yeah, mad! It's alright I believ
