  1. As some will already know, I am a shooter of glass marbles - simple reason, they're cheap and easy to get hold of, ! But ............ ........ recently, I've been shooting much more often, but not getting much to show for it. I've noticed the marbles often spin off to one side or dip very quickly, and are generally quite unpredictable. So, I've pushed the boat out and ordered a couple of hundred 9.5mm steel bearings (cheap as chips !) to go with my nice new Dankung tube-set. Just out of interest, I weighed them on the digital kitchen scales. the marbles weigh in at 5 grammes, the bear
  2. Don't hold your breath .........................
  3. Got a good few clipped ears off my Mam, but Dad didn't hold with that sort of thing ! When I was 16/17, I swore at her for the one and only time....................... I feared for my life, but I've never done it again in the 35 years since ! I love my Mum dearly, and I can honestly say that I deserved it every time, so I can't hold it against her.
  4. Put crap in, you get crap out ! Hope you're back on the front line soon, mate !
  5. Marked for alien abduction at a later date .................................
  6. Top shooting as usual, mate ! i still love that HDPE shooter - I want to get round to trying to make one like that ......................
  7. I don't mind lentils and I've got a caravan. Do I qualify ?
  8. That should really be the last word on this, shouldn't it - something we can all agree on ? (But I've got a feeling it won't be !)

    I've been making all my decisions only after thinking 'What would Jesus do?', and I an tell you that it's had a major impact on my life......... .............I'm being crucified tomorrow !
  10. Good shooting Harry ! Most of the time, I couldn't hit the front door if I was holding the knocker !

    To my mind, it's all 5hit anyway ............................... Taoism 5hit happens. Buddhism If 5hit happens, it's not really 5hit. Islam If 5hit happens, it's the will of Allah. Protestantism 5hit happens because you don't work hard enough. Judaism Why does this 5hit always happen to us? Hinduism This 5hit happened before. Catholicism 5hit happens because you're bad. Hare Krishna 5hit happens rama rama. T.V. Evangelism Send more 5hit. Atheism No 5hit. Jehova's Witness Knock knock, 5hit happens. Hedonism There's nothing like a good 5hit happening. Christian Sc

    Did you know that if you re-arrange the letters in 'religion', you get 'ginolire' ................................ .....................which still makes the same amount of sense !
  14. who would say I am not following my faith correctly Jihad is war in the Name of Allah certain criteria have to be fulfilled or there would be anarchy The king of Arabia could order his country men to war but it would not be jihad. If the spiritual leader called for Jihad he would have to show under what conditions and it would have to be endorsed by the Supreme council if I wished to challenge the order and was sure of my ground I would have every right rto do so. Islam is a religion and way of life of choice that is made clear in the Qran you can pray give charity , fast say Kalma and fight
  15. Another of mine - I've never had a surgical operation.
  16. Desertbred - thank you for being so honest, but you didn't quite answer my question. Maybe I can re-phrase it......... I appreciate that not all Muslims would heed a call to Jihad, yourself included, but IF such a call were made, would you be seen as a heretic ( for want of a better word), for failing to follow your faith 'correctly' ? I guess I'm trying to enquire whether some be swayed to do things they wouldn't ordinarily do, if their faith demanded it ? Hope that's a bit clearer........... Like I said, just a genuine question, not an attempt to trip anyone up...................
  17. The current Mrs BB (she of the very tiny hands! ) was telling me about someone on Facebook, who's made one of those 'bucket lists', you know 'things to do before you die' kind of thing. I gave some brief thought to mine - sky-diving, swimming with dolphins, all the usual - then a sobering thought struck me................... Here I was, making up this list of extraordinary and memorable things to do, and there's loads and loads of ordinary, everyday things I've never done. Things some people do on an almost daily basis, have never entered my sphere of existence...................
  18. Can I ask DB a straight question - no attempts to trick or trip up. Straight question, straight answer ! You're the only person here who can answer it with any kind of insight, you see........... What would happen if the very, very highest and most respected Muslim clerics( preachers, Ayatollahs, whatever you want to call them) called on ALL followers to turn against non-believers, and take the path to Jihad ? Would followers' loyalties be to the laws of their resident country, or would they be obligated to obey the clerics ?
  19. Loads of good recipes on here........ http://www.lowcostliving.co.uk/home-brewing/country-wine-recipes.php Last years' has just about done fermenting. I'll transfer it into 5 litre plastic containers, for clearing - saves on space - then into bottles as needed for drinking ! Happy days !
  20. How could she resist such a silver-tongued cavalier as you, Dare ? Seriously mate, it's a waste of time. There's owners who'll swear they follow the feeding guidelines and never give tit-bits, but there dogs are like barrels ! Idiots know nothing about nothing !
  21. There's resemblance to some of the faces too ! My hands are regular sized - I just married a midget !
  22. Bloody hell. I was going to call you sausage fingers, but z+2 is more like salami! That's humungous. And Jim...as socks would say.....dirrrrty baaastaaard. I don't know about that Walshie, but this is me 'wearing' my wife's wedding ring......
