  3. Huge Fire In London

    I'm sick to the back teeth of hearing about it now. It was a shame people died but now it's a free-for-all with people picking and choosing their next free accommodation. They should accept what they are offered or live under a bridge. Or there is a 3rd choice - get a job and pay to live wherever you want.

    A customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the Irish sausage?"

    The assistant asks, "Are you Irish?"

    The guy, clearly offended says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something. If I had asked for Italian sausage would you ask me if I was Italian?
    Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?
    Or if I asked for Polish sausage, would you ask if I was Polish?"

    The assistant says, "No, I probably wouldn't."

    The guy says, "Well then, just because I asked for Irish sausage, why did you ask me if I'm Irish?"

    The assistant replied, "Because you're in Halfords."

  8. Trouble With The 22 Hornet.

    CZ 22 hornets are a rarity at the moment. Rugers are good guns but I don't think they are worth the several hundred pounds more than a CZ. Don't forget scope rings are horrendously expensive for them too.

     

    As said give it a good clean before making any decisions. Each to their own but I wouldn't even consider a 17 or K.

    Is it just me or is this the biggest and only news story there is? While I feel sorry for those who lost their lives the rest just seem to be after what they can get for nothing. Doesn't seem to matter if you are an illegal immigrant or never done a days work in your life, you will be given everything.

     

    I for one am sick to death of hearing about it now. Would they give a f**k if my house burnt down? Of course they wouldn't. I feel the same about them.

    Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese.

     

    There are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them.

     

    It's not me, so it's either my mum or my dad. my older brother Colin, or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin.

    There is a time when the consequences of keeping quiet is too high a price to pay. Surely that time came a long time ago in this case.

     

    Being labelled racist or gang-raped? Which is worse? :censored:

    Thanks for the ideas gentlemen. I've looked at the suggestions and none of them seem to be what I'm thinking of. The first gun was almost definitely a Webley and a regular break barrel. (That's the one I got from the catalogue and paid weekly for.) :yes: I'm pretty sure the gun I traded it for was American as the bloke I traded it with had recently moved here from America and i think he brought it with him.

     

    The cocking lever was inside the forend so when it was closed it just had the single barrel. The nearest pic i have seen is a BSA airsporter but it's still not right. The one I had had a much more tapered forend, really pronounced chequering, a single blade sight up front and didn't have that notch out of the rear of the stock.

    I know I'm not going daft. Next time we go to see my mother I'll have a peek in the loft to see if it's still there.

    was it a crossman ?

     

    I've just looked at a few pics of crossmans and can't see anything that looks similar. Maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't American, and didn't pump more than once. :hmm: Apart from that.... The nearest pic I can see to what it looked like is a BSA Airsporter, but it still doesn't look quite right.

    I posted yesterday about how my first gun was an air rifle out of my mum's catalogue and it got me thinking. I'm pretty sure it was a Webley but I traded it a few years later with a mate of mine and I can't think what I traded it for, I've been googling, but nothing seems to ring a bell.

     

    I'll try to describe it but I'm not sure if that will help in identifying it. It was toward the end of the 80s, but it certainly wasn't a new gun even then. I'm more sure than not it was American made. It was .22 cal and underlever, but the lever wasn't under the barrel like a HW97, it came out of the underside of the forend and I THINK you might have been able to pump it more than once (wouldn't swear to that though.) Where the barrel met the forend, there was a kind of lever like a tap that was laying horizontally. When you turned this lever 90 degrees so it was vertical, you could see a hole to put the pellet in. When you turned it back again the pellet was ready to fire.

     

    Doing my head in. If any of that makes any sense, please let me know.
