  1. Probably better not to speculate. I imagine what happened will become known before too long.
  2. Condolences and sympathy to anybody affected by this sad event.
  3. Very good post.
  4. Don't ignore the Echo and Dolmar ranges. Plenty of threads/info on the forum.
  5. I've known several people whose upbringing was less than ideal who as adults are most helpful and caring to those less fortunate than themselves. I have also known people whose parents were lovely, caring people whose offspring are/were deeply unpleasant, selfish individuals. It's the old nature v nurture argument but what would make somebody veer from their upbringing in such cases? My comment about paganism was a response to the comment on Buddhism. While I never claimed to be non-religious, I am not a practising pagan but I do think the basic, indeed only, pagan tenet of 'do what you will yet hurt no other' is a good building block.
  6. Agreed. If you need to be told how to behave then your moral compass must be skewiff to some degree through lack of empathy. I tend more to the pagan rather than the Buddhist, respecting nature and only killing animals for purpose rather than sport.
  7. The creed that causes the most problems is the nut-nut one that insists their special imaginary friend is so great that everybody should follow them. Having a religion is just like owning a penis; it's fine to have one and be proud of it but don't wave it in people's faces, especially not children, and don't expect them to worship it like you do.
  8. At least you're killing 2 birds with one stone.
  9. At least give them a try before advocating their removal. There are only really 2 things in life that you shouldn't try at least once; incest and country dancing.
  10. Pretty sure that there is somebody selling them on eBay.
  11. Was it the well known ground dwelling Sawpod wearer?
  12. <p>That threads more than a bit out of date, I'm afraid. I left that job over 2 years ago. Sorry I can't help you.</p>

  13. Why would you want to de-fart any food?
  14. Decided to get one, picking it up this week. I'll let you know how I get on with it.
  15. Great for bats as well.
  16. The police actually on the streets have a hard job to do with little support from above, it seems to me. In my part of Essex, the higher echelons only seem interested in the concerns of bigger business to the detriment of average people. The scale of thefts of power tools and machinery from outbuildings in my in-law's district (they got done twice in a week) led to the local senior police officer having a meeting with the Parish council and being basically told 'If you lot don't sort it out, we will'.
  17. That could lead to some awkward silences at public school reunions.
  18. Alarm Mine [H4990] - £13.50 : Henry Krank, Everything for shooters and collectors
  19. What is the point of Piers Morgan?
  20. I'll make sure that Jake and Hamish haven't eaten them all and steal their lunch money if necessary.
  21. Nice. Hope you and Jake haven't eaten all the chocolates.
  22. And apparently enjoy smelling like a tart's handbag.
  23. Sounds like the original 2250B with the 12gm capsule which was limited to 6 ft/lb like an air pistol. The XL runs at about 10 which has a better punch. Didn't know you could fit a different barrel though. Cheers!
