    If the fore end was only found to be packed with newspaper when he came to sell it, was it never cleaned whilst he owned it? Maybe next time he buys something he should take someone with him or he could end up with another lemon. Actually, while I think of it, would he like to buy a boat? Nick

    Used to play scrum half or outside half at school but we were predominantly soccer or men's hockey so our rugby teams were carp and got ripped to pieces. My son plays loosehead which confirms the saying "no sense, no feeling". What winds me up is the standard of reffing at school level - varies from good through iffy to positively dangerous at times. We go to London Irish when other commitments allow. Wonder how this season will go with a fresh coaching team? Nick

    Yes but with what the whole thing costs there should be some effort made to make it more worthwhile being out than in. Personally though, I haven't a clue how to do it. Another thing is that if you get prisoners institutionalised so they cannot handle being out side, it isn't much of a punishment, is it? Prisons are mostly there to give the rest of us a break from their activities. Nick

    I found it depressing that the prison system is incapable of turning out individuals able to look after themselves. Little wonder they offend again. Nick

    The change was a result of Daily Mail readers believing in the 1000-fold increase in gun crime committed by 17 year olds in possession of air rifles.... Oh, it isn't true? Well, well. Nick

    As your Grandmother used to say, Forest: "Stupid is as stupid does". How about throwing in a bit of punctuation too? Not sure it will help make sense of what you are saying but it may be worth a try. Nick

    Credit where it is due, the Lancaster was an evolution of the Manchester, both designed for Avro by Roy Chadwick. Barnes Wallis designed the Vickers Wellington but was responsible for designing the Upkeep (bouncing) bomb and later the Tallboy and Grand Slam "earthquake" bombs. The Lancaster made the delivery of these weapons possible. For an up close and personal look at a Lancaster, visit http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/ Nick

    Our cats regularly bring rabbits in. Sometimes they eat them but leave the ears and feet behind plus a few bits of innards. Sitting watching TV one evening when a rabbit came racing through the room being chased by two of our cats. It was mayhem but managed to shut the cats out by which time the rabbit was hiding behind a sofa. I find that dropping a towel over the rabbit makes it think it is safe before I grab it. The worst is finding the decomposing, maggoty remains of a half-eaten rabbit lurking in some little used part of the house. Nick

    There are two already but one of those is in Canada. There are many rumours in the flying community that the third has flown already if it is the one you are talking about. Nick

    No problem

    The link is for the crystals, not the ready-made solution. If anyone is local to Farnham we have quite a bit left over since moving over to machining circuit boards rather than chemical etching. Nick

    I posted this link in another thread but it is equally relevant here. Ferric Chloride solution is also used to make electronic printed circuit boards. Maplin Electronics stock packets of the crystals. See http://www.maplin.co.uk/ferric-chloride-crystals-2097 Nick

    I have heard back from the guy I was supposed to have met. He apologised as he has been ill which is fair enough so things may not be as bad as I was left feeling at the time. It does not excuse Mr Rude but I guess any club has its share of those. Nick

    Hi Dave, we shoot at a number of local farm shoots and tried DTL. The big issue is being able to shoot regularly with all the other things happening in our lives. Nick

    It depends whether the clay ground has a police exemption (a Section 11(6) permit) and as long as your friend is not a "Prohibited Person" under Section 21 of the Firearms Act (1968). Most clay grounds welcome visitors but it may be worth a quick phone call to check. Nick

    That didn't go well. I made contact via the website and agreed a time to meet at the club. My request for directions went unanswered but went along anyhow as arranged but the guy who was supposed to meet me did not show up. It was a bit of a job to find but i knew the rough location and followed the noise. After hanging about for 20 minutes a friendly member did show me round which was very welcome and interesting. Hung about for another half hour - still no show so decided to leave. Found my car blocked in by a rather aggressive bloke. (not having been sent directions I was unaware that I

    Thanks for the welcome guys. I just got to get some practice in before my son gets his hands on it - he has a nasty habit of out-shooting me and clearly forgets where his birthday presents come from lol Nick

    Bought a very nice TX200 with a Hawke Eclipse IR 4-16 50 scope. Now all I need to do is practice Nick

    I recently bought an immaculate TX200 that was only 7 months old and the package saved me close to £200 on the new price, so don't dismiss secondhand entirely. I had tried both and really could not decide which was better so in the end I bought what was available at the time. Even now I think I would have been just as happy with the HW had one been offered to me. As Rob says, it is important to try both before deciding and if your gun shop doesn't have the facility, maybe there is someone on here who is close by will let you - if near me you would be welcome to pop over.

    Unless the prices are ridiculous, I would always suggest using your local dealer. Better to support local businesses so there is more chance of them still being there when you need something in a hurry. Nick

    You wont see too many adders - they are pretty rare as they are not too good at multiplying. Nick
