My lads into his Lego, its amazing what can be built nowadays from it.

In short, you need to have "good reason" ie target, vermin or deer/boar and have suitable land and permission to shoot over it. We are also only allowed the calibres/rifles set down on our FAC.

We dont have land that you can just turn up and shoot over like the US.

Ive tried all sorts, a few HV's which grouped in 12" at 50yds, and a few different brands of subs, but the Eleys came out on top by a mile and seem to be the most consistant.

Have you bought any powder recently? Prices have jumped by upto 50% a kg

PPU in .223 56gr is £36/100 and is pretty consistant out to 600yds, its difficult to handload for cheaper.

As for the rimmie, on a still day off sticks with a 2 1/2 mildot holdover, clean kills on 140yd rabbits using Eley+ subs

Only when they are at places like Bentley!!!!!!

No, but I dont like to put them in the kennels at the weekend, they are pets as well as working dogs.

Looks good, but no dogs rule makes it difficult for some of us.

Thought it was about time a put a few up of my old Landie.

luckily the gay got away

Gutted to hear this mate. Nothing seems to be sacred anymore

But, what made you think he was gay? Was it the way he ran?

mr wroe,i have a neighbour who has been unemployed for a year( classed as long term unemployed )and he has just managed to get his climbing and cutting tickets payed for he also has had £500.00 worth of ppe provided and can offer any new employer a £1000 grant if they take him on. There are oppertunities out there.

 

you just gotta look for them:001_smile:

Lucky him, I would love to know how he managed it.

Im on jobseekers, and I had to pay for my own PPE, course and assessments, but that maybe because Ive not been claiming for a year and Im NOT under 25.

We dont go down the pub, rarely go out and eat what I shoot to keep bills down, but I still have a mortgage to pay, amongst other household bills.

As for the OP, get your tickets, you wont get anywhere in this game without them. Follow-up every ad, and dont loose heart, you will get there in the end.

No problem, but does explain where my reply to a thread went. I thought I was going mad!!!!!!

Great news mr. Bobbyem. Now you've got the first one out of the way, you know what to expect. CS30 has quite a bit of theory, 31 is more practicle.

 

What advice would you give someone else planning for their 30?

 

How much of a grillling did you get on chains and sharpening?

Revise everything on the assessment, questions are random and asked during and after. Chain sharpening should be spot on.

Nice one Bobby on passing, I passed mine last week and totally and utterly screwed up my 31, nerves got to me I will be retaking it, but feel I need more "saw time" before I do.

Not if he is under 18 (I think it is) or in training.

But the OP said he was an experienced groundie with 2+ years experience, this doesnt strike me as being in training or being under 18, but I could well be wrong.

There were a lot less of us then.

Maybe, but the cost of living was much lower too.

Employers who ask what an employee wants are hedging their bets and hoping the employee will come up with a figure lower than what they are willing to pay. Why not just say what you, as an employer, are willing to pay and if the employee isnt happy with it they will either say its too low or decline the offer of work

It also think its dependant of location, house prices are lower in some parts of the country than others (the girlfriend is struggling to sell her 3 bed, detached house in mid-wales for £174k, whilst you will need at least £250k for a 3 bed semi in Surrey) food and fuel prices vary depending on where you live too.

In short, its not a one size fits all wage structure, and it never will be.

Merrist Wood are doing 38 soon, dont know if theyre also doing 39

Awesome bluegrass band, seen them a few times but theyre not really doing any decent venues around here this time

It depends on age and whether your an apprentice

Apprentices

From pay reference periods starting on or after 1 October 2006 the special rules for apprentices will be extended to apprentices aged over 25. This will mean that:

apprentices under age 19 will not qualify for the national minimum wage

apprentices over age 19 and in the first 12 months of their apprenticeship will not qualify for the national minimum wage.

What are the current rates of the national minimum wage?

There are three levels of minimum wage, and the rates from 1 October 2009 are:

£5.80 per hour for workers aged 22 years and older

a development rate of £4.83 per hour for workers aged 18-21 inclusive

£3.57 per hour for all workers under the age of 18, who are no longer of compulsory school age

Saw this ad for a trainee reserve assistant, but the wage seems to be well below minimum wage. Is there some get out of jail free clause that allows this?

Based at **********************, Somerset

£120 per week training allowance, 1 year contract

This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic and enthusiastic individual to gain valuable nature reserve experience including habitat management; coppicing, scrub clearance, chainsaw work, brush cutting, gates and fencing.

A key role for the placement will be at **** *****, with workshop duties such as tool maintenance and construction of information panels.

In return, you will receive a weekly training allowance of £120 plus holiday entitlement and the opportunity to gain industry recognised tickets such as, NPTC chainsaw and pesticide as well as First Aid at work.
