  1. Hi Dave, Long time since I saw you but would you consider taking me out for a bit of shotgun shooting??

    Clays is all I'd want to do - but Pigeons etc also OK. Pick me up & fetch me back. I'm really Air Rifles & like to think I'm something of a Marksman.

    Maybe pick me up when getting the Lads Dog??

    £100 all in?? (Negotiable)

  2. Electric (battery) hook tie gadgets are available. Close to me at Ladybower adapted boats for wheelchair users are available. Beyond that it would depend on your individual requirements.
  3. I know of a Scottish chap that sea fishes from a kayak but he's the only one.
  4. I would love to be able to justify the purchase of just one item of tackle at that price. Much as I love centrepins thats obscene money. I'll stick with my Wensum for under 50, at least i can afford to use it.
  5. It would have been better for it to be 55 years per victim, served back to back. No doubt now he'll be out in 5 years, given a house and a huge state handout to live on plus allowed to import all his friends family and acquaintances at the expense of our taxes
  6. Or in my case joined the Army and spent a lifetime as a soldier, followed by a second lifetime as a HGV driver. Worked hard for every penny. No matter how bright or thick you are education isn't for everyone.
  7. Welcome back to todays type of fishing. You have to search long and hard to find a water that has natural fish. I find local water authority controlled waters the best. Or look for waters that are/where notoriously hard and folk aren't prepared to put the work in. Failing that "free" fishing if you can find any, as these aren't stocked.
  8. Unfortunately I hear this a lot, but unfortunately not all of us can exercise like we want or used to. As a former Parachute Regiment soldier I was arguably one of the fittest men in the country, however, age, disability, old injurys and more recently a stroke put paid to any form of exercise. Unfortunately I do have to eat, although I try to eat more healthy now. With being unable to exercise, I can walk unaided maybe a car length I went from a healthy 12 stone (just under 6'tall) to around 15 stone, it varies from week to week depending on the size of my ? Being overweight is not always lifestyle choice or idleness nor for the lack of wanting to exercise. Just as an extra, I have to be very careful in what I eat as I'm also now an insulin dependent diabetic. I don't sit about all day shovelling chocolates crisps and pop down my gullet.
  9. When someone steals a shotgun to use in a robbery they never even think of its value, just chop it up and steal probably a fraction of its value in cash. That's if its a H&H, or similar. The thing is nowadays some of the top brands do fetch big money.....and a lot of the well known names like Winchester, Browning and a few others are all made in the same factory in Japan. I have a Miroku MK38 Sporter, identical working parts and action to a Browning, handles the same, fires the same yet was about a third of the price. Apart from the name the only other differences are the engraving on mine doesn't extend as far and my woodwork although highly polished and nice to handle isn't as pretty, think grain of the wood, as a hand polished finished in Belguim Browning. Again money talks, bull.... the have and the have nots. There are and always have been really nice guns coming out of Italy, very expensive with pretty wood and posh engraved hunting scenes on the metal. Bargains these days come not only from Japan but from Turkey where apparently they have an abundance of Walnut trees to use and produce very practical and pretty guns. But not being "big names" they sell for mere coppers compared to guns like Perazzi. The one below was a recent purchase to use as a rough gun, to me its a practical gun to use, not a show piece or a cabinet saver. The wood work rivals some of the top Italian guns but it has no pretty engraving on the metal. I bought it to use but if it was on a named gun it would have cost at least my house and then I would be scared to use it.
  10. I'd love one, could never justify the outlay, be more than my house. Probably a COOEY, absolutely brilliant little guns. I bought one earlier this year for pennies, to teach my Grandson to shoot. My daughter fell in love with it and everybody that uses it does. I hope I never have to part with it. Think it was about £45 with a 3 month warranty. Its at least a 100 years old. Winchester bought out COOEY and produced it in their name as a Model 84. That of course is if its the same sort of gun
  11. Absolutely useless, they don't do them in 4xl for my size ???
  12. I bake bread at least once a week, never ever have i put sugar in it. Tastes fine. A little add on story here: My Granddaughter then aged 7, was in school and a lady from Warburton came in to talk about baking bread to the kids. Roll on a few minutes and my little varmint pipes up "What sort of idiot puts sugar in bread my granddad says...........". When I picked her up that day the headmistress said, "Can I just have a word please" ???
