  2. Morning Team! As said, a hot night and awake several times! Having a few days with the old folk in Devon, driving down today! Tinnitus loud this morning! Be good y'all. Guy, Din, Light.
  3. So a standard BSA .177 doesn't need ought?
  4. My Grandad had a love of guns, he was a sniper at Ypres in WW1. Post war, he was either poacher, loader or keeper on the local estate, depending on the occasion. He also ran a gun club and shooting range at one point. I can remember various cartridges etc in pots, ashtrays and piles around his place. He ran the local Post Office too, back when they didn't sell anything apart postal stuff. After he died at home in the early 80's, his children met to empty the house. In the big walk in cupboard/room under the stairs, casually hidden under a pile of Post Office clothing/coats etc they found 6 x Martini Henry action .22 rifles, a 410 garden gun and a single shot walking stick 12 gauge. A couple of air rifles were also present. The local Bobby was approached who visibly blanched and basically suggested that as unlicensed and unregistered, the implications were pretty awful to all concerned, him included! A grave was dug up in the orchard and, apart from the airguns, barrels first, these were knocked in with a sledge! Prayers were said and the hole filled. Later that night, a fair bit of ammo fell into the canal near the lock gates. The next year, the canal was drained to mend the locks and the finds caused a stir locally. I must get that airgun in my wardrobe registered too! Almost brand new and in a box! I am the current custodian as mother has laid a claim to it! What she wants it for I don't know!
  5. You need three things, fuel, air, spark. If one is missing, it will not work?

  10. Morning Team. Looking bright here. Being a hooligan in the toy car this morning. Family duties and funeral prep for the FIL later.

Tom gently leaving Bad Apple Racing and maybe crewing elswhere but he off to the states soon to race his car! Jay, Louse, Roc!
  11. Morning Team. Thankfully, the end of a week! Found a box of books etc from my old tree firm. Made me chuckle at the prices we charged and some of the cheque book stubs! Must all that kelter to the tip as it is of no use to anyone but an old boys memories! Enjoy your day and come home safe! Grisley, Bares.
  12. Morning Folks! On account of a soggy lung, I got a free loft insulation and new boiler from HMG. But I had to empty the loft, amazed at how much crap I 'stored' in there! Plenty of tip trips over the next few days and loads of stuff going on evilbay or market place! Have a good day yourselves! Wife, Runts.
  13. Used to pile on the brash, all butt ends to the cab, using live line rods as bolsters. Double up a Carter's hitch then add another pile on top! Again doubling up on the hitch then pull out first ropes! Before I got tippers, the tailgate was dropped and you held on to the lower levels while driver dumped the clutch and drove out from underneath the load! Or, a side was dropped and we got in and rolled the load off! All the stuff they never taught at colleges!
  14. Seems still and bright here! Goal, Deny.

  24. No ticket proof needed but they may require some ID or trade reference the first time. Some hirers may need proof that you have adequate insurance like "hired in plant"..... If it is only a couple of days or the odd weekend, go local.... Where are you based?
