I was getting it, now I'm lost again ! Is it all about getting your eye in the same position on the reticle for each shot, then ? Or have I oversimplified ?

Fella on Sneinton market in Nottingham has made a living for donkeys years, selling boxes of broken biscuits, short dated cakes and rejected confectionery...........

No silly ! It's the film about the kid growing up in poverty in Ireland !
-
And these companies own other companies ! Co-op Funeral Care now control may former independent companies.........Richer Sounds support LACS...and then there's Britannia building society, internet bank Smile.co.uk, and the Caravan Club are big fans of ArsePCA...........just to name a few of the better known offenders ! Apparently, Lush products are often used to disrupt legal hunts, as a lot of them contain citronella !

Geddit ! Thanks for that, Mush. Still don't see why I get ads for it, though...........I haven't done any automated component production for ages now !

Mother's Day necklace today............just gets weirder !
-
"computer numerical control" ..........still none the wiser !

My mother in law throws stuff out the day before it's 'out of date' ! I've tried and tried to get her to see sense, but she won't have it - seems convinced that fresh tomatoes turn toxic at midnight on the specified day ! We will happily use dry goods and tins that are supposedly months past their prime. Even with chilled meat, I prefer to trust my nose - if in doubt, see if the dog will eat it.......a dog can smell "off" long before we can. Truth be told, nothing much stays in my fridge long enough to go off !

I don't understand why the H&S nazis are up in arms. The Co-op's initiative involved only non-perishable goods.............the clue is in the name !

The cheapest option is definitely a ferret and nets. If you want to get yourself an air rifle, can I suggest that you also find somewhere to learn to shoot it ! Go to a local club and practice, practice, practice.........you'll make friends and start to build up a network of contacts. As already said, get yourself into a local shoot - be patient, do your time, and you can work your way up. You'll also make useful contacts into other activities. I started out at my air rifle club, plinking away with a hundred quid air rifle...........now, I have six air rifles, two shotguns, five ferr

Simplest demonstration of parallax I ever heard........ Hold a finger on each hand out, and line them up (with both eyes open) a foot or so apart, pointing upwards. Now close one eye, and their position appear to shift. Change eyes and they 'move' again. If they're far enough apart, they appear to change positions from left to right.......... How does that translate to rifle sights ? F*** knows !
-
I'm life president of the "I don't do technical" club, mate............free membership is available !
-
I've got one and I love it ! I could have sold it a hundred times over, but you couldn't pay me enough to part with it.......... (Sadly for me, I paid a good deal more than you did !)
-
You know how the ads change when you move between topics ? And they're meant to reflect your browsing history ? This time I got "Orderfox - internet for the CNC industry - advertise your CNC jobs here !" I don't even know what CNC is !!
-
I just went to make a cup of tea - when I came back and clicked on, I got an ad asking if I want to make a claim from the Takata Airbag Restitution Fund !
-
I get ads for used Ford cars and pensions !
-
They're both downloadable (is that even a word ?) onto Android gizmos and then stream live or download whatever you want to watch. Free to download, free to use ! I just found Kodi getting too unreliable and clunky..........
-
I use Terrarium TV and Mobdro.......between them they have everything - including all the Sky Movie channels and Sports , and just about everything that's ever been on TV ! I was a Kodi devotee, but both of the above are just simple - pick and click !
-
As I was walking along the river today, I saw a hippy drowning ! I thought about helping him, but he was too far out, man.......... (Where did I put that cloak room receipt ?)

Anything made since 1982 tends to induce migraine in me !

A Nother One For The Kids
Blackbriar replied to bigmac 97kt's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Jimmy, you've done more than enough for us already !! If you want to send it down, I'll make sure the safety issue is dealt with........... .......the kids can form an orderly queue ! -
Going for the 3 bird roast for a change this year............or 4 bird.........or 5 bird, depending how the shoots go !
-
You wouldn't need pinpoint accuracy with something like that, would you ?
-
We should petition for a pinned Jonathan Pie thread..........so many of us like a bit of Pie, and he makes so many videos !

There's a pair of Little Egrets on one of the many parks in Milton Keynes..........
