Would have to be Davina McCall for me now she is better than a pro sport or tx any day :laugh: I don't know about that. Can you take her apart with just six screws?

How very dare you Sir! My traps are high grade stainless steel, not cheap ally Chinky crap. And whilst my van is French it is certainly a substantial lump. Glad you found your trap mate. My back won't take all the bending to 'sniff' the ground to find mine. Pesky deer!

I'm fully aware of that Rez. If you look back to the first post I made on the subject of TX .v. PS I said that the actual choice is personal. Nobody can argue with how someone chooses a rifle by feel, handling, balance and their impression of it. What is the point is when someone tries to use reasons to justify why one is better than the other and those reasons don't stand up. Power levels, unreliability, ect. Then the teddy came out of the cot. Now that he knows that Air Arms officially regard the PS as being a step up from the TX it will be itching him like a mozzie bite. He will just

That is exactly it. The TX was a ground breaking rifle. But it has been around since Adam was a lad so Air Arms needed something else to get some of the existing TX owners to put their hand in their pockets and buy a new rifle from them. They did virtually no R&D. Didn't need to as it was arguably still better than the competition. They just designed a few bits to change to make it easier to load and handle better different. And then the marketing boys got to work and came up with the phrase: "The Pro Port is the next step up from the TX." Which will have sowed doubt in the minds of many w

I was typing my reply at the same time that you were. Not as a response it it. Anyway. You reckoned to have put me on ignore. That was before your childish insults and subsequent silence after realising that you had repeated a statement that was bollox. At least Philpot had the gonads and good grace to admit that he didn't know that the power plants are the same.

Mazda 6 - basically the same engines / chassis etc as a Ford

Sorry but you have done this all wrong. You are supposed to buy the TX first and then take the next step up to the Pro Sport. (Their words not mine) <Edit re Mark's post above> At least I know what are the actual differences between the two guns Unlike somebody I could name

Should n't that be vulvas?

The Skoda Octavia is the same engine and running gear as the Golf / Audi A3 / Seat Leon. The body of the Octavia though is more like the size of the Passat. The boot on the Octavia is huge and the car is really well put together.

That is brilliant! Thanks. I set some Putanges in a large garden / field area last week and marked the locations with some Petsafe flags. Got back yesterday and some deer had been in the area and had made off with the flags. I found them laid about with signs of attempted chewing. I found two pairs, but I'll give this App a go tomorrow to see if I can locate the other pair. <Edit> I take it back. Just been out to test it and it couldn't find my feckin' van let alone a Putange. And before you suggest it, it isn't a Reliant Robin. Anything other than solid metal like a

What a nice little read.....did Currys sell bikes at one stage then i never knew that.......if its not rude to ask mate what part of England was you in and what part of France did you retire to ? Hi Gnash, I am from a village near to Barnsley and other than a few years living in Leeds in the Revie era when my Dad tried to escape the mines have lived in the Barnsley area most of my life. Currys in Barnsley were one of the biggest branches in the country. I worked there as a Saturday lad for about four years. After leaving school I went to work in a textile company and after

going back million years lol, you had to have a licence when you 1st started , carnt remember if you had to be 11 or 13 to take papers , anybody remember .?? I think it was 11. You had to have a medical to get your permit. I remember going to see the nurse for the cough test at the local clinic and I'm sure that it was before I went to the big school.

Started at 8 helping my cousin deliver groceries on a trolley, the sort of trolley you made yourself out of wood and wheels nicked from scrap prams and push chairs. My aunt had a corner shop and the older customers would leave her a shopping list and then on an evening the two of us would load up the trolley with boxes of groceries and deliver them to the customers. Then at 11 I got a Saturday job on the market on a carpet stall, progressed to Currys where I used to assemble bikes ready for delivery. When I'd finished assembling them I took them for a spin around the upstairs warehouse area. F

Am i correct in thinking, the weather conditions you describe, are in total contrast, to what you had to contend with, this time last year ? Yep. Last year we were in shorts by the end of March and didn't see any rain until after Christmas. There is usually a second spring in October that brings rain, but by November we hadn't seen any and the reservoirs were at their lowest levels for many years. This year the spring is the wettest on record and people were still lighting fires on an evening up until last weekend. Last Christmas Day (2015) we were eating outdoors. Four days later it w

Tweaked The Tx A Little
Nicepix replied to mattwhite's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
well before the welsh willie kit was added, the tx would chuck a pellet across the kitchen and now it stays put so it has to have smoothed out the fireing cycle and recoil.Not a very scientific explanation I know but it's definately improved the rifle I think you are supposed to put the pellet in the breech. Not on top of the scope turret. -
Depends on the garden. I still get calls to deal with moles just venturing short distances into gardens from more overgrown areas bordering the customer's gardens. At the moment the females are making nests ready for the second brood of the year and because it has been so mild and wet they are venturing into the open areas to make them. Last year it was much drier and hotter so many nests were in shady or more moist areas away from open grassed areas. I've been thinking of renaming my business 'Desperate Housewives' given the nature of the calls I've been getting recently

Still waiting for my reply.

You'll find that an air gun's accuracy with Airgun World depends almost entirely on how much the maker's advertising budget is. Obviously Diana are in the lower end of advertising revenue. Ooh, cynical... Note that I said "The reviewer says..." 40mm / 4cm groups at 20 yds? Who was the reviewer - Stevie Wonder?

Not necessarily. That only applies if as a consequence of you shooting a user of the highway is injured, interrupted or endangered. In England & Wales it is an offence without lawful authority or reasonable excuse to discharge any firearm within fifty feet of the centre of a highway which consists of or comprises a carriageway, and in consequence a user of the carriageway is injured, interrupted or endangered. [section 161(2) of the Highways Act 1980 as amended]. It is important to remember that the discharge of a firearm is not prohibited in itself. It must also be proved that there w

I used to build them at this time of year out of willow and / or hazel mainly for pigeon decoying. If you put the branches in deep enough they will take and start to grow and sprout leaves and small branches. You can weave these new branches into each other and make a solid permanent hide in next to no time.If you haven't got willow or hazel you can make a frame out of any old branches then in late summer get a bag full of goose grass and spread it all over the frame. The seeds will drop and germinate and cover the frame the following spring. It will be green in spring and summer and then bro

My wife said that she fancied rabbit stew. Problem was that there had been no rabbits on our shoot for years due to mixxi so I made a rabbit stew using three big buck squirrels. She never noticed
