    WHS in Newcastle used to stock hunting/shooting mags in the hobby section. Then they moved onto top shelf. Went in one day looking for something worth reading and after hunting among Razzle and such like and gay sex mags and getting funny looks from other shoppers I asked an assistant where do you keep Airgun World now? She replied "we don't sell those sorts of magazines anymore"

    I had another "clear out" today. A clear out tending to be hours spent pulling things out of storage, getting rid of 0.1% and then just moving stuff about and storing in different places. Came across these that I had forgotten about. Some good articles and photographs. Did not last long though. Probably an ED-RD prototype.

    Living the dream or rather living in a place where I truly want to live is something that has always been on my mind. I have always bottled it or overtought it. Worst case, move somewhere that looks ok but the urban sprawl and/or tourism follows in my lifetime and my heaven turns into a hell. Obvious solution, move somewhere so remote that the possibility of that happening is unlikely. But the further that away you move from people the more difficult it is to earn a living. Catch 22. Looking at the prices of dogs these days I seem to have a Russell that is worth at least £2000. If I were

    I should have done more of a trial on this particular vape pen before recommending it. Broke 2 over the weekend. The glass "clearomisor" component is not robust. Have been replaced by a more expensive product. Still happy with vaping rather than smoking though. People have commented that it is still feeding a nicotine addiction, fair comment, but from my point of view at present it is without the tar and carbon monoxide. To date smoking has had no adverse effects on my health. I pass medical checks with flying colours. After a life time of smoking, drinking and eating whatever I please the res

    Not the same litter but the physical similarity is remarkable. I know both from the same base breeds but I would have expected more variation. It's almost as though crossing those breeds throws a distinct type.

    Looks very like dogs from a litter a friend bred, ESS x Patterdale. An accidental mating but the one he kept is a very useful dog.

    It's been 10 days now since I smoked a cigarette. No big deal of course and a mere 10 days does not equate to having quit for good.. But what has surprised me is how easy it has been. I have been a smoker for about 40 years and a relatively heavy smoker for some time. The last time that I bought 20 purely on a whim I also got the vape pen pictured. According to friends who "vape" there are far better makes and models out there but it only cost £12 and £3 for the liquid. It has been a seamless and painless transition from cigarettes to vape from the 1st time I used it. The 20 pack is still her

    A perfect example of how unrighteous the self-righteous often are.

    Not cleaning the pipes before reopening after lockdown? I would take it back mate and swap it for a bottle.

    I recieved the last issue yesterday. On the 1st page DH made it a priority and went into great detail explaining how any outstanding money from subs will be refunded. Only right and proper of course. But right and proper tends to be the exception rather than the rule these days.

    I don't think that the genetic make up of a dog with mixed breeding can be calculated by maths. On paper yes, in theory but in reality no. Once the breeds are crossed and then crossed again the percentages that each parent has of the base breed and what percentage each of the pups will have in their genetic make up is not predictable or measurable. The physical appearance or behaviour of the dog may suggest otherwise but it is no true indication of its genetic make up. If you outcross once and only once then breed back only to the one breed then that is different. Eventually you have what what

    Another thing gone. It will be a cause of celebration for those that hate us and are working to end us. RIP Earth Dog - Running Dog and thank you Mr. Harcombe for your efforts for so many years.

    I don't think that c02 is a viable power source. Too many variables that effect the speed of the projectile and that makes it more difficult for the person using the gun to identify their own flaws. The tool needs to be as near as damn it perfect for the user to have any chance of improving.
  14. eastcoast
    Spring powered not C02 but I would recommend this. Not something that I would have purchased but a lad at work bought it new and when his lass found out he had to to get rid. As accurate as the person using it but a very useful gun to have when walking the dogs and out after ferret food or the occasional very close range opportunist rabbit kill. I don't have the skills to use it on live quarry now but did at the time. It came with the pistol scope but never mastered the technique of using one on an hand gun.

    NUFC 0 - 2 MUFC . An humiliating defeat. Humiliating because the home side were forced play like cowards in the 1st half. They are not cowards but their manager forced them to appear so. I have defended Bruce in the past but today he lost any respect that I had for him. Would rather lose 0 - 10 but go down fighting!
  16. eastcoast
    At present NUFC have 4 local born lads who were named in the 23 man squad before things went mad with the pandemic shit. They all played this season. The present manager is a local lad.

    Good advice (?) but, clean as you go. Workplace, kennels or the house that you live in. Good housekeeping keeps a man sane. Or compromise some of your freedom and sanity and allow a woman to move in. l'm not quite there yet but the older that I get the more that question decisions made in the past.

    It's a knock out competition, winner takes it all until next game. As a Newcastle supporter I was hoping Norwich would win ?

    I would first familiarise yourself with the Hunting Act 2004 if your based in the UK.

    From the photographs they look like nice healthy animals. Terriers are great dogs to have.

    The indigenous people celebrating their own culture... is there not a risk that some could find it offensive or feel excluded?

    I've watched a few of the games with recorded crowd noises. If any racial abuse from the crowd is heard then we really do have a big deep rooted problem.

    So highly improbable. However, was the 1st litter of great Irish hounds not out of the giant Finbar McCool"s aunt who was lined during her temporary transformation into a dog? Anything was possible in ancient Ireland.
  24. eastcoast
    If the huge Irish hounds did exist was the massive size desirable in hounds possibly used in pursuit of the Irish elk rather than the wolf?
  25. eastcoast
    Not the last wild wolf surely? ?
