Legal requirement for dismissal of an employee of more than 2 years standing is:- One verbal warning, confirmed in writing; Two written warnings; Hit the road Jack. All warnings must be for the same offence. They are well out of order. Nail 'em to the wall. Ric

"Calibre" is defined as the internal diameter of the barrel. In British and European practice this is measured across the "lands", the part of the barrel which has not been grooved to form the rifling. In American practice it is measured across the "grooves", ie the diameter across the rifling. There is an increasing, and to my mind welcome, tendency to define "calibre" as the external diameter of the bullet. Until that becomes general practice, it is not clear that 6mm, .242, .243, .244 and Weatherby .240 are all the same calibre. But! Calibre does not necessarily equate with the power o

Hmm. Bird on the wire? .22 semi with a koff koff modified sear? And a 30 round mag? Keep drinkin' the cider.

You could also google "muzzle energy", go to Airhog and put the figures into the magic box . . . Mind,I've been on the Owd Rosie. 8.7%

OK, but I bet you two million you can't hit a bird doing 40mph 30 feet over your head! Edited to add, I reckon I could make more with my .243 than your piddly little .204! I'll be using 48g Hornady SPBT FMJs. Your sad ballistic tip fragmenting rounds cannae crack it. :tongue4:

Any of yous guys use shotguns? I will bet ONE MILLION pounds that I can put more holes in a 12" group at 400 yds with my .204 than you can with your smoothbore.

Turkey's officially a secular country. Kniterider - Hi. How ya doin' bro? I've got friends in Ashby. Next time I'm back up I'll pm you. Meet for a beer and a day out bunny bashing? Ric

I'm from the East Midlands. (Loughborough if you really want to know). I worked in the knitwear industry most of my life. I've worked alongside Hindus. If the lads decided to meet for a beer when the shift finished, the Hindu guys would be well up for it. I've worked alongside Poles. FFS, they can shift a few. Sikhs? They don't like a beer or two, more like six or seven. My daughter's boy friend is Latvian and he can drink me under the table. I've worked alongside Muslims. "Fancy a beer after?" "Oh no no no! Drink is evil the HOLY QU'RAN says so". British social life centres on the pub. If you

What a load of bollox. The Mail is funnier than the Beano used to be. FFS a "pack of 400 wolves"? What shite. A pack of 400 deranged red-top journos? Yeah, maybe. They'd eat each other, and bloody good riddance to all of 'em.

I read that in the Indy. PMSL. Bird strikes back or what? I love the idea of this dodgy spick sitting there and the bird leaps up out of the cockpit and stabs the twot in the leg. Then he bleeds to death! Yeah birdy!

E + K is a well dodgy mix. Tried it a couple of years back. Nearly didn't make it to me 60th birthday . . . .

We're all pretty well in agreement here. I have to disagree with HZ though. (Sorry John!)It is no longer a criminal offence to shoot a dog that is worrying livestock, provided that you use a gun of suitable calibre; if the gun is too low powered you could be in breach of laws about cruelty. It could be deemed a civil offence and lead to a claim for damages to property. As I said, the farmer would have a good counter-claim for damages to his stock. The West Midlands Police site is worth a look on this. You'll have to trawl around to find it, but it covers the subject in detail. I for on

It all comes under property legislation now. If a farmer's property, eg sheep, is being dameged by a dog, he or his appointed representative can take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. If that entails shooting a dog, the dog must be shot with a gun of suitable calibre - .243 is recommended. The owner of the dog may then take civil, not criminal, action action to recover the cost of the dog, but the farmer may counter-claim for the cost of sheep which have died or lost lambs as a result of the attack. Wild-life remains a grey area. A wild animal is the property of the person on whose l

You should apply for .223 and .243. Say at interview that you need - NOT "want" - the .243 for deer when you go for your DSC. If you get knocked back on that, they are actually more likely to give you the .223. Makes 'em feel powerful. You might well consider putting in for all three rimmies. .22lr for rabbit, .17HMR for long range rabbit and pest birds on the ground, .22 WMR for close foxes. Talk it over with Derboy. He's obviously a sound guy. YIS, Ric
