  1. It'll take some civil servant 5-10 minutes to leave it on a laptop in the back of a taxi. Then god knows.
  2. AHPP

    Spikes

    Or Ragley Hall.
  3. Both of these I had broke.
  4. I had a game of chess earlier. Half the pieces were black for fck's sake!
  5. I learned politics from him and Ron Swanson.

  7. He's due home about now.
  8. For anyone with good eyesight.
  9. Quiz answers were Honda CX500, Kawasaki H1, Suzuki GSXR btw. What were the nicknames?
  10. Lovely day for it. Our station is a quiz. Riders come in from the hills or road and pull up to one of the ladies. Today’s questions were 80s Jap bikes nicknames. A field of riders mostly on BSAs, Villiers, Greeves etc weren’t all that interested. Fair comment really. Past years’ questions were highway code history, identify silhouettes of Brough Superiors etc. More the scene. Not many mechanicals this year. Usually quite a lot of wet points, difficult restarting once they’ve knocked it off to hear the quiz. Did get a foot long adjustable out as a prop but only thought of it too late. Amused some bloke who’d come up from Sheffield to follow on his GS.
  11. Told my mate about this thread earlier and then as chance would have it we poked our heads into a barn and found a barn owl! I woke it up and it rocketed out parting his hair when I said to look in. We'd both just been saying how you'd have to work pretty hard at shooting one but thinking about it now, night vision and thermal is so good and cheap these days that the gap is narrower.
  12. No. A harder one.
  13. Well this has been as much use as I suspected it might. Perhaps I should have made it a poll. Perhaps I should have asked on Facebook. Perhaps I just shouldn’t have bothered. I was asking in the hope of seeing a trend where a certain assessor/institution failed lots of people, perhaps indicating a reasonable standard.
  14. Off up the dale for old bikes.
  15. Just play along.
  16. I fear there won't be enough data to answer this properly but let's try. Which assessors have you witnessed failing a candidate (you or someone else on your assessment)? Just name the institution/assessor or explain more if you want. More than one ticket, more than one institution etc, brief explainer please. Nobody will read anything into only naming and not explaining so nobody needs to fear ridicule for failing a course.
  17. Very, very ordinary rabbits, fox, deer on a farm. Nothing weird. There are two phases of my firearms licensed life. Down south, I was deferent and meek and rewarded with a mentor, closed ticket, knocked back for things etc. Up north, I took a different approach from the start. They firmly know they work for me and that I expect to get what I want, on time or I machine gun letters off to anyone who can make their life hard. MUCH better results. But if you're a bitch and only get rimfire, take heart. Rimfire is the best.
  18. Could have died of anything and then been pecked in situ. Not a (pardon the pun) smoking gun in my eyes. You should get some guns btw. They're great.
  19. Plus also bear in mind possibility that the owl got shot (or otherwise injured) elsewhere and then flew onto or was carried (by human or animal) onto your land to die. Any other signs of intruders?
  20. Go steady with the owl. Police are morons, arseholes or both. They might start dreaming up wildlife crime charges for you for something to do.
  21. What’s happening with the café up there?
  22. I’m marshalling the Beamish Trophy Trial tomorrow if anyone’s interested in 1918-1980 (approximately) bikes being used properly. Lovely morning out. Smells fabulous.
  23. How do you do pizza dough?
  24. Wych elm could it be?
