Peter Waller:
Being dead tight I would have a huge problem in picking up bits of dead animal from Sainsbury, far less of a problem from Tesco though, it's cheaper from there!!Peter Waller:
Kinda hard to kill dead ones.Peter Waller:Do you have a problem with killing living creatures?
I suspect that many who have a 'problem' with some of us killing living creatures have no problems picking up little shrink wrapped polystyrene trays with bits of dead animal in them from Sainsbury's shelves.

b*ll*xGraham X:I totally disagree with this. I believe that the proto-new age transmogrificational socio-axis of such a shared framework as here, needs to be flexible enough to allow for localised and individual adaptation, but still allow for transferability by identifying a recommended verbal currency to carry uniprofessional pathways as well as interprofessional and group models..
..and I think that puts it in a nutshell..

You need to invest in a 'force-feedback' monitorNugg:I thought I would put it to the test last night. I got thrown out of the house when the wife climbed between the sheets and found the moniter in the bed. The only thing that was shaking was me, 4 degrees below it was.

'Our' Red deer is Cervus elaphusH Jampton:
Our American cousins might some times refer to Wapiti and Elk in the same breath but our Reds are a lot smaller species, with no palmetted antlers.H Jampton:Venison is my favourite meat. Especially if it is from the red deer or elk as our American cousins call it.
Newt, lets have some pictures!
Wapiti or just Elk in the US is Cervus elaphus
in Germany its called Rothirsch or Edelhirsch but it is still Cervus elaphus
Do your worst Newt show me a Wapiti with palmate antlers and I'll eat my hat.

Ten out of ten chesters. Go to the top of the class. Maxim's first machine gun factory was indeed in Hatton Garden. Click here to read more.chesters1:little known is it was first made in blighty (hatton garden)
Still looking for a French connection, but they were used by armies all over the world.
What do you know about Mr Gattling?

Cranfield:
I don,t want to re-activate this thread, but I must comment on the last couple of posts.
A .303 rifle is lethal up to 3 MILES.
IF you were able to get one on your Firearms Certificate, its unlikely that you would be permitted to use it for"sporting purposes", target shooting on approved ranges only, would be normal.
A .22 rifle is lethal up to 1 mile, using high velocity ammunition.
This weapon is more than capable of humanely killing a fox.
Keep it real, Chaps.

Dunno. In Scotland it is called 'Knock Door Run Away'. Much more logical.ajp:.......and "knock down ginger" of course.
Why the hell was it called that? :confused:

I used to work for an investment bank in the City and a couple of my colleagues were keen danglers.manxlad:
has anyone bought any electronics from the USA as i am in the process of buying a boat and want to get the usual bits such as fish finder, vhf and gps. i have looked on various mail order sites and the prices are far cheaper than anywhere in the UK.
do you have to pay any import taxes etc, also will USA radios work in the UK?
When one of our team had to go to New York on business they would buy stuff like fish-finders, depth-finders, GPS and so on. Often when they came back to Heathrow the Customs Officer would let them through with nothing extra to pay.
I have bought stuff from US web shops in the past and the Customs have not charged VAT or any import charges on them.
As the say in the other side of the pond, your milage may vary.

Chesterschesters1:quote:'Nobody profits from war in the long run'.seems a strange quote from the motherland of the chap that invented the machine gun
You've lost me mate. I'm a Scot, sig is French and I always thought that the machine gun was invented by one Hiram Maxim, born in Sangersville, Maine in 1840 and thus an American, or am I just being thick? Would'nt be the first time

Not for a long time. When I was a kid my dad used to have 3 or 4 tanks, the biggest was about 40 or 50 gallons. He used to keep lots of Corys, and they were my favourite fish. I don't think he ever got them to breed, but I am not sure if he tried either. I believe that some Corydoras species can be tricky to breed, fussy about habitat and water quality, but I might be totally wrong.monkeyboy:corydoras do you keep tropical fish then? was looking to breed corys but never got round to it!
He did manage to get Kribensis (Pelvicachromis pulcher) to breed in a community tank, but that is another post for another day.

GafferGaffer:Btw, I was never any good at Spanish, what does your signature mean?
Its not Spanish, it's an old French proverb. Literally it means 'The paths to war do not grow corn' but it has a 'hidden' meaning. 'Blé' is corn or wheat, but it is also a slang word for money. I guess it means something like 'Nobody profits from war in the long run'.

I concur 100%, however I do not think this is the ORIGIN of the word.Tinca61:For English noblewomen in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, quarantine held another meaning. When their husbands died, some widows had to remove from the main mansion of the estate to a smaller 'dower' house while the larger home passed to the heir of the next generation. But for forty days, known as the widow's quarantine, a woman could remain in her late husband's mansion.
