22lr or 223 personally, hornet is going to be expensive to feed as it's an oddball and you won't be gaining much especially when you can get surplus 223 cheap. Was pushing 125m with the 22lr the other day and keeping it around 4", need a bigger gong to push 150-200. You soon get bored with 17, it's too bloody loud but amazing watching it explode on a steel gong.

So I did you're little test and pretty much came out bang on centre, yet you then think that's a snide remark, rigggght overcompensating much ?. I'm self employed, I think you'll find with the hours I do there are paperboys under 16 getting more per hour.

Wtf are you on about now. You can't bill your union hours for being on here

The Political Compass WWW.POLITICALCOMPASS.ORG explanation of the Political Compass model Does that make you feel better?.

New Labour under Kier aren't right of anything, all three are equally Left with wishy washy leftyness inaction. Reform are more centre/a little right of centre. Old labour pre tony was so right wing with blood lust, mad as a bag of frogs but you knew what was on the tin.

Small c isnt doing any disservice to any of my beliefs or opinions. What's wrong with wanting the state to operate with as little of my money as possible and be as self sufficient as possible?. Same way as councils operated when they were local towns. There's a fag paper between all 4, you couldn't even tell the difference between any except reform!.
-
I've stated many many times I'm a pretty old school centrist small c conservate. The way I look at it is L-R now. Green - Liberal - New Labour - Conservative - reform mostly in the middle maybe a little right. But there is no right-wing of old like the 70s labour party with the daft buggers of Corbyn salivating and calling for death to scabs and such.
-
Well shall we compare the most hippie of hippie capitalists Ben & Jerry of the ice-cream variety to Labour. Fag paper difference, Vince Dale too.
-
And you understand why those that think like you are very chicken little, worry about what YOU can control. Do I live a pretty low impact lifestyle, yup. Am I pretty centre with my views Yeap. Labour has gone so far left even the 70s hippies look capitalist. No doubt we'll have the keep it POTUS brigade. So why shouldn't we be self sufficient, I don't care about the oh it should be gradual BS, hard luck. Why shouldn't every developed nation make as much as possible, you want cleaner and more efficient manufacturing don't you ?
-
Oh how wrong you are, I'm a citizen of Great Britain. I see a lot of lefty bs spouted here but I remain mostly in the centre as that's just considered right wing by lefties. They have gone so far left it's almost full circle and the doors either hitting them on the arse 2nd time around or it's like the moron trying to open a fire door from the outside smushed against the glass.

As a point of pedantry, do as your friends suggest and Google that title.
-
Rigggght, so as usual zero actual constructive response or reply. Just because my logic doesn't align with your happy to spunk a few million quid up against a wall whilst muttering "greater good". I think your well aware of my view that a lot of you are lefty socialism types, expecting the state to suckle and provide for your every whim and make decisions for you to remove all thoughts and personal responsibility.

Waffle waffle waffle dribbling TDS. Fortunately the world isn't run by the council and civil service, which is a environment you obviously enjoy hiding within, being a number and all that. Reality is things like the weather lots, is they've ventured too far away from the reservation of just doing what they are tasked with doing. Bit like councils calling climate emergencys and virtue signalling, I pay you to empty my bins, run the local parks and look after the elderly. Outside of that in your own time, full yer boots.
-
They have them on runways and roof tops and plenty of others. Not exclusively and I never said as much but be realistic is a big long expanse of concrete and tarmac really the best place for the hottest day?. Which would you say has more accurate temperature and rainfall data, data from Dave's field amongst his 100 acres of grazing or Leeds Bradford airport?.
-
And how is that any different to putting on Creosote, commercial stuff is thin like water and evaporates because it's some form of voc like paint. It's not water based fyi. Ah, you pay a man I guess.
-
Remind me what you do for a job!. Unless you're that boy in the bubble?, before the end of the film obviously.

How is me changing the oil on various equipment every year Vs painting a wooden fence for example any different?. I'd probably take my chances with engine oil over anything from the DIY shop. Life is a risk, I think several years of lead solder inhalation is going to be more damaging in my 20s or the usual daily life of farming/chainsaws and a long list of things including 3 phase.
-
So which is ecologically worse. Used engine oil that will probably make the timber last for decades or crap Creosote and replacing the wood after 18 months ?.
-
Good old brush. Plus always best doing it on an evening after a roasting hot day and the wood will drink it up. But to be honest Creoseal's original 100% coal tar creosote is now absolutely crap, used and filthy engine oil is better. Spent hundreds on it and wished I'd just used engine oil after the wood just rotted.
-
And I think they're legally obligated to give the met office the data for free. Which is real world data, not just a weather stations at the end of the runway. As airport data is almost as pointless as those ones in built up towns, oh it's warm next to the concrete NSS or it's 5000c next to the shard.
-
No you dullard, I'm suggesting scrapping both. It's a bloated waste that could be done for a 1/4 of what they spend. You'll find the privates already do provide a lot of data, sencrop being a big one in the agricultural sector as we can't trust the met office as they are usually wrong.
-
I'd only every change hydraulic if it gets contaminated or on say a tractor that has trailers and such being used and taken off. As dirt gets into the system with tractors etc, my splitters are still on the same oil after about 5+ years and probably 3000hours. The key is always keep it cool and keep it clean.
-
You don't need to change either as it's an entirely closed system. If it looks milky, yeah change both it as it's gotten too hot or is contaminated with water or of you've had to replace any part of the hydraulics.
-
There was a TV programme that explained why the met office accuracy went down after they moved to the west country In part due to the new algorithms, but also far too much data into the system causing poor outputs especially for city sourced data. The computer equivalent of target blindness. Especially when they proclaimed the hottest x,y,z from the tarmac runway of Heathrow.
-
Yeah, but opening the window and shouting boy what's the weather is usually very accurate compared to that pine cone 😉
