At best, it's a trespass; your stuff on their land. Civil offence. They sue you for damages. Falling shot probably won't do much damage to anyone but have an ammo mixup and rain slug onto someone and you're in trouble (obviously). This would be a criminal matter. As hard as it may be to believe, a lot of law is just common sense. Don't shoot anyone.

Link please.

Ausgezeichnet!

My Gomtaro isn't rusty. It can sit around the kitchen drying and then is convenient to wipe a bit of veg oil on. Less sure how easy it will be to stay on top of a folder that lives with wet boating gear.

My river knife fell apart the other day and I've been needing to get a pruning saw to carry canoeing anyway. Pocketboy to do both rope cutting and wood cutting is the obvious choice but it will rust. Who does stainless pruning saws?
-
No idea but I like how your mind works!

I hinted. You just said it!

Tickets is down to your personal choice and maybe your relationship/contract with insurers. Competency/potential/common sense/safe work style I would have thought is the 'must have'. Other employers might be happy for you to tire out someone they want an excuse to get rid of! Reason for dismissal = Comes into work knackered and useless (because he's been cutting logs all night for that timberdelf chap). You give me problems, I give you solutions!

Local farmers' sons. Ask local ag college to recommend a student. Ask other local firms to suggest any of their part timers who might want extra work. Post on a widely read, industry specific internet forum (where people are always wanting work)... Good offer for someone. Surprised nobody's taken you up on it. I'd have come in the campervan and done an intensive week or so for you if the offer had come up a few weeks ago. Indisposed now unfortunately. Best of luck.

Yours is certainly distinctive! Have you tried any of the diesel engined ones?

Vitaras are excellent. I towed a lot more than a 6"chipper with mine. I had a carb 1.6 petrol. The injections are known for blowing ECUs at £180 a go.

Whatever's happening, you're wearing Paul out. No posts for ages!

A really rough 2m ish length of hemp round the waist, across the arse, through the legs and tied somehow was my harness. My two 25m lengths of plastic hawser from the local ag supplier were my favourite toys by far. I had a zip line and a rope bridge strung up over the orchard until some tedious parent of a mate nicked it in case his son had any fun. Got it back and built it bigger. Many happy hours!

Not glitzy but there are many worse out there!

Japanese businessmen pay good money for that sort of thing.

Yuck. Sod that for a game of soldiers.

Great to see you again, Paul. Good beer at the Botanist (on site brewery!), tasty tuck at pub number 2 and fine company. You're better at photographing trees than humans though. I'm sure I told you to get my best side! Kew village is the nicest part of London I can think of but at the end of the day it's still London. Onto better and more Northerly things!

In the name of balance: I am constantly staggered by the lack of knowledge and ability shown by professional (private and public sector) firearms users who really should know better. Likewise, there are plenty of unsafe civilian users. Only one of the above groups responds well to constructive criticism though... And well done, Dean Lofthouse. The Country needs more shooters.

Good stuff! You could have taken the vest off to go swimming though. What's that?! You did?! Holy tanlines Batman! All the best people are heading North (East). Glad to hear you're paddling your own canoe, so to speak.

Cowbell mount to satisfy the Austrian health and safety executive.

I wish! From memory, about that is the BR UK or world record. I'm talking about standard TR roundels. I think the v bull is 1 MOA, so about 10" at that range. What targets have a 3" v bull at 1000 yards btw? F class is 5" and that's pretty small.
-
That should say 1000 yards, not 100.
-
Have you got a licence for those?! Great looking work btw.
-
I've spent time around lots of nice guns; modern custom builds, high end factory guns, new and old English best shotguns and rifles and what was my favourite? My Weihrauch 100S! PCPs rock. I honestly enjoyed pinging bottle tops at 50 yards with the HW100 more than drilling the middle out of the v-bull at 100 yards with my 6.5x47.

I didn't need to meet him to make my reasonably generic statement but yes, I have. His arrival was not marked by earthquakes or thunder and he wears his pants under his trousers but he's a good guy.
