Brian

I am sorry Brian. There seems to be no common interest for discussion.
That is the problem with such groups. I pointed out when I arrived how
uk.misc works I doubt this one will be any different.

What are your interests, Brian?

You see, mine are cooking and politics in which you have no interest. You
need to find a group which does.

I wish you all the best and hope you find what you are looking for

Best

I think the main problem with this 'new' group, is that not
many posters know about it.

But even if they did, what will they talk about? General chit chat doesn't
appeal to everyone.

Well, the majority of posters in uk legal don't discuss legal problems.
They discuss issues across the board.

I think you know what I mean:) At least there is some structure overall.

Anyway, I will be around if there is any conversation of interest to me:)

Your interests are rather limited in number though with such interests
there is no doubt much time taken up.

I have several interests though in no particular order in how passionate
I feel them.

Gardening, photography, walking, shooting, astronomy, science, sex with
my three girlfriends though not all at the same time but treasure their
company as much also, the internet ... ideal for research and
entertainment as I don't have a television, writing, music from
classical to heavy rock, playing piano. After being married to a shrew
for thirty years and have four grown up children, very successful now in
their respective spheres, I suppose I should add as an interest, living
alone in a small country period cottage, it's bliss.

I gave up on the shotguns a few years ago though I enjoyed rabbiting
with them for a long time, and yes, we or others ate the meat.

Nowadays with such wonderful advances in engineering and the advent of
precharged pneumatic air weapons, my choice is the Weirauch HW100 with a
14 shot magazine. Devastatingly accurate and a clean kill out to 50
[.177 calibre] metres and no F.A.C. required. A hell of an outlay to
set up your rifle and charging kit at just over a thousand pounds. A
lot happier with a rifle though.

Gardening? I have about half an acre and backs onto a private wood.
There's a greenhouse I erected last year and the flagship, the cabin and
deck I built also last year, a beautiful place to sit and watch the dusk
come in, usually with a slurp in hand and the company of a good woman, I
live in a paradise, though my life hasn't always been so. And as it goes
cooler, then light the chiminea. Half the garden I had to retrieve from
a veritable jungle but all so worth it. Now have fruit trees produce
some food and setting things out for lots of colour.

Set up a bird station a few weeks ago but find the squirrels take it
over sometimes. I like the furry critters and can't bring myself to
shoot them when they give me so much amusement at their mischievous
antics. I do realise, some regard them as vermin in some parts and
understand they can be destructive to trees, especially in the spread of
Sooty Bark disease in Sycamores.

Happy days.

Glad you like it but I prefer a good old springer to the PCP. No messing

shooting. Everything self contained in a springer.

I owned a Feinwerkbau 124 .22 for many years and still when I look at
magazines they are regarded the best springer ever made. It's still in
the family, my son has it now and regularly working well having had a
few 'new' springs over the years, he got rid of the "V" sights and had a
telescopic sight and confirms a very accurate weapon. Seals were always
changed at the same time so was brought back to new time and again.
Aesthetically the beech stock was cack but have walnut on my HW 100, a
piece of art.

I believe squirrels are delicious so if ever I feel the need to down
one, I'll give it a try. I believe there was a street market in
Cornwall earlier this year selling squirrels for food.

The FWB is a fine rifle. I'm shooting a BSA Supersport in .177. It has a
scope but also still has the iron sights for backup. It is a very accurate
rifle and light enough for me even with the accessories. After many years of
using both I don't believe there is any difference in effectiveness between
.177 and .22 on suitable prey at appropriate distances but I like the
flatter trajectory of the .177. We have a Crosman 1077 for shooting for fun
in the garden:)

If you have them in your garden, get to it:) Treat them pretty much like
small rabbit so ok for frying as well.

Depends how you do it, you will get away with one per person in a stew, but
as main meat, 2 for one person:)

I owned a Feinwerkbau 124 .22 for many years and still when I look at
magazines they are regarded the best springer ever made. It's still
in the family, my son has it now and regularly working well having had
a few 'new' springs over the years, he got rid of the "V" sights and
had a telescopic sight and confirms a very accurate weapon. Seals
were always changed at the same time so was brought back to new time
and again. Aesthetically the beech stock was cack but have walnut on
my HW 100, a piece of art.

The FWB is a fine rifle. I'm shooting a BSA Supersport in .177. It has a
scope but also still has the iron sights for backup. It is a very
accurate rifle and light enough for me even with the accessories. After
many years of using both I don't believe there is any difference in
effectiveness between .177 and .22 on suitable prey at appropriate
distances but I like the flatter trajectory of the .177. We have a
Crosman 1077 for shooting for fun in the garden:)

I believe squirrels are delicious so if ever I feel the need to down
one, I'll give it a try. I believe there was a street market in
Cornwall earlier this year selling squirrels for food.

If you have them in your garden, get to it:) Treat them pretty much
like small rabbit so ok for frying as well.

Hmm, I never knew that sqirrels were eaten.

You do now:)

What do they taste like?

Rabbit.

Oh, thanks.
At a guess, I assume that an average sized Squirrel would serve 2 to 3
people?

Depends how you do it, you will get away with one per person in a stew,
but as main meat, 2 for one person:)

Righto, ta.

Digressing back to guns.
Years ago I bought a Spanish shotgun with stacks of ammo from an
aquaintence. I think it was a poachers gun, it dismantled in seconds
down to 3 pieces. I assume it would fit in a long inside pocket of an
overcoat. I didn't have a licence and because of that I never even fired
it. My missus kept on and on to hand it in to the police or at least get
rid of it (quite rightly so). I eventually did the sensible thing and
sold it to a trusty friend who had a licence.
Made a profit though. Paid £30.....sold for £100, probably worth a lot more?

She certainly was, but I was a little sad letting it go. It was a lovely

are surrounded by fields and farms....sod's law :-)

I'm cutting this group again as nobody is using it.
Brian

I am sorry Brian. There seems to be no common interest for discussion.
That is the problem with such groups. I pointed out when I arrived how
uk.misc works I doubt this one will be any different.
What are your interests, Brian?
You see, mine are cooking and politics in which you have no interest.
You need to find a group which does.

Your interests are rather limited in number though with such interests
there is no doubt much time taken up.
I have several interests though in no particular order in how passionate I
feel them.
Gardening, photography, walking, shooting, astronomy, science, sex with my
three girlfriends though not all at the same time but treasure their
company as much also, the internet ... ideal for research and
entertainment as I don't have a television, writing, music from classical
to heavy rock, playing piano. After being married to a shrew for thirty
years and have four grown up children, very successful now in their
respective spheres, I suppose I should add as an interest, living alone in
a small country period cottage, it's bliss.

Ah, gardening and shooting, yes:) They are not something I discuss in the
groups:)
As for the rest ... ;-)
I have a Yilditz Elegant. Beautiful stock and engraved action SBS.
You?

I gave up on the shotguns a few years ago though I enjoyed rabbiting
with them for a long time, and yes, we or others ate the meat.
Nowadays with such wonderful advances in engineering and the advent of
precharged pneumatic air weapons, my choice is the Weirauch HW100 with
a 14 shot magazine. Devastatingly accurate and a clean kill out to 50
[.177 calibre] metres and no F.A.C. required. A hell of an outlay to
set up your rifle and charging kit at just over a thousand pounds. A
lot happier with a rifle though.

Glad you like it but I prefer a good old springer to the PCP. No
messing about and getting cylinders recharged or having to lug them
about, when out shooting. Everything self contained in a springer.

Gardening? I have about half an acre and backs onto a private wood.
There's a greenhouse I erected last year and the flagship, the cabin
and deck I built also last year, a beautiful place to sit and watch
the dusk come in, usually with a slurp in hand and the company of a
good woman, I live in a paradise, though my life hasn't always been
so. And as it goes cooler, then light the chiminea. Half the garden I
had to retrieve from a veritable jungle but all so worth it. Now have
fruit trees produce some food and setting things out for lots of colour.

Enjoy:))

Set up a bird station a few weeks ago but find the squirrels take it
over sometimes. I like the furry critters and can't bring myself to
shoot them when they give me so much amusement at their mischievous
antics. I do realise, some regard them as vermin in some parts and
understand they can be destructive to trees, especially in the spread
of Sooty Bark disease in Sycamores.

But they are quite edible you know:))

I owned a Feinwerkbau 124 .22 for many years and still when I look at
magazines they are regarded the best springer ever made. It's still
in the family, my son has it now and regularly working well having had
a few 'new' springs over the years, he got rid of the "V" sights and
had a telescopic sight and confirms a very accurate weapon. Seals
were always changed at the same time so was brought back to new time
and again. Aesthetically the beech stock was cack but have walnut on
my HW 100, a piece of art.

The FWB is a fine rifle. I'm shooting a BSA Supersport in .177. It has a
scope but also still has the iron sights for backup. It is a very
accurate rifle and light enough for me even with the accessories. After
many years of using both I don't believe there is any difference in
effectiveness between .177 and .22 on suitable prey at appropriate
distances but I like the flatter trajectory of the .177. We have a

If you have them in your garden, get to it:) Treat them pretty much
like small rabbit so ok for frying as well.

There's been debate for decades about difference between calibres .177
and .22 but there are good arguments for either. Most hunters say you
need the heavier calibre for the most effective kill but this is my
experience.

Try hitting, say, a pigeon at 20 metres using a springer with a .22
calibre and with such a weapon with old fashioned sights it would be
difficult to go for a head shot so left with simply, hit the quarry
somewhere and hope 'impulse' will do it's work. Nine times out of ten
the pigeon will fly off which is not very polite. The only sure way to
bring in a pigeon with non F.A.C. air weapon is a head shot and over
distance the .177 calibre has a distinct advantage as up to 50 metres
you can more or less treat the trajectory as flat, [ we know it isn't
true flat but the deviation is slight so can be treated as such ]. The
.22 calibre would start to drop after 10 metres, still loads of power in
it but then you need to compensate your sights for distance.

Let us get back to PNP weapons for a moment. There is virtually no
recoil and the 'power' does not diminish at the muzzle even when cocked
for hours on end so the shooter can expect his weapon to deliver the
same force, shot after shot unlike a springer where the force diminishes
quite considerably depending on model and whether the shooter has kept
his weapon cocked for long periods, after perhaps 40/50 shots.

With a good PNP and the telescopic sight zeroed, the shooter can expect
complete accuracy, with my weapon at least, right out to 50 metres
without any adjustment to sights. With my .177 calibre HW100 if I aim
and hold the sight for a head shot, my pigeon will be dead and drop like
a stone which is a hell of a lot more humane than having the buggas fly
off and perhaps bleed to death. Clearly there must be some element of
good marksmanship as well! So we might argue these days with finer
engineered weapons, calibre versus calibre, versus weapon.

I mentioned 'impulse' earlier so if a mathematician comes along perhaps
he would explain in far more detail than myself.

Yes I've seen or heard that postulated many times but never seen it
demonstrated as having any practical level of impact, nor found it myself
when testing through a chrono. Besides which, why would you want to leave
the rifle cocked for 'hours at a time', is the usual argument? I'm not
going to sit/lie in one place for that long waiting for my prey to appear,
I've not yet been that desperate for rabbit/pigeon in the pot, and I've not
gone so long without any chance of a shot when hunting on the move. The idea
seems to have come from the concept of keeping a rifle loaded and cocked,
ready for a shot out of the bedroom window - or wherever - which is neither
a safe nor sensible practice anyway. Even if the only person in the house is
the shooter and the rifle is kept loaded it takes seconds to cock it while
making other preparations so why leave the spring compressed? There's lots
of theory discussed by enthusiasts and not all of it makes any difference in
the real world ... just my opinion of course :)

It is my husband you really ought to be talking to, he knows far more about
all this than I do:)) Oh and btw the guns he uses are far too heavy for
me:))

their respective spheres, I suppose I should add as an interest, living
alone in a small country period cottage, it's bliss.

Tarot cards.
Playing electric guitar, although I haven't really played since I became
addicted to painkillers.
Dead languages (I can translate about six related ones).
Writing.
Vampire novels.
Haunted house novels.
Listening to music of a specific type.
Programming languages.
The other side.

What genre of music do you listen to?

I have several interests though in no particular order in how passionate
I feel them.
Gardening, photography, walking, shooting, astronomy, science, sex with
my three girlfriends though not all at the same time but treasure their
company as much also, the internet ... ideal for research and
entertainment as I don't have a television, writing, music from
classical to heavy rock, playing piano. After being married to a shrew

What genre of music do you listen to?

Black Metal with symphonic and Gothic overtones like Cradle of Filth and
Hecate Enthroned. The higher pitch the singer can scream, the better,
and I like the use of keyboards so they sound funereal or otherworldly.

This isn't a typical example but I really like it:

Although I like some heavy metal music, that particular type is not for
me. I have an eclectic taste in music, from Rock through to classics.
I used to play in several bands for 26 years, but mainly playing middle
of the road stuff.
I sold my beloved Telecaster years ago and now I've got 2 acoustic
guitars, an Ovation and a Gretch, both have pickups.

I have fifteen Stratocasters, all with various pickups. I don't
currently have an acoustic guitar but I'm not so interested in them. I
was thinking of getting a Resonator at one point, however, but my
interest dwindled.

What year was your Telecaster made?

Amazing how this can be traced all the way back to a Bach Fugue, at
least in my head.

That aspect will be due to the keyboard player, Martin Powell ('Foul').
He is into orchestral arrangements.

I quite liked this keyboard player who was with the band a lot later.
You'll see why if you click the link:

And I saw her with the band on two occasions live. She is really nice:

Oh my God... I just found this image of her:
