Great photos Jay I cannot think of a better way to spend time (without a female of course) than walking the woods with a Winchester... :mrgreen: Why tea and not cowboy coffee? I nearly always brew up tea when out in the sticks but I thought you guys preferred throwing it off the dock.. :wink: Welcom...

Kudos gamekeeper for the stick-to-it-ivness . . a second monitor could be a big help with the swinging back and forth between two instances and the copy/paste. or two pages up on a split screen. would that help? It probably would but I'm a bit handicapped by only having a old tablet to work with......

Logged on first thing this morning and had to delete 22 spammers before I even had a cup of coffee. It takes time deleting them as I have to go from the general forum to the admin page and back again for every single spammer. Spammers for those who don't know are weirdos who try to put porn dating s...

Don’t forget these…. https://postalmuseum.si.edu/exhibition/alexander-hamilton/dueling-pistols The caption lists them as "flintlock" dueling pistols but one is obviously a caplock. I cannot tell if it has been converted from flintlock but that should cast at least little bit of doubt as t...

Thanks David for all your help keeping this place going.

gamekeeper

No reply yet from Andy and perhaps Paul is very busy at the moment so I have sent a PM to David explaining the problem. I have just noticed that on the moderator log that the list of inactive users that are now deleted automatically stopped in 2022 so it looks like spammers and new members are both ...

Hey Jay, I think you will laugh at this, it's one of the reasons I love old LandRovers.

No, my son and his wife have returned from NZ so I'm hoping to move to where they are now in Northumberland. If I was going to move that far I would have gone to Mexico and crossed the border into the US for all the freebies and a chance to vote......

Thanks Jay I spoke to my son again tonight and he seems hopeful that things may work out ok, he was even told to get deer caliber rifle as he sold all his guns when he was hoping to move to NZ permanently.

Good to hear you're keeping busy Jay, nothing much happening here but my son called and said he was looking at a couple of cottages on a big sporting estate up north so I'm keeping my fingers crossed as I'm fed up with this anti gun anti hunting abode I have been stuck in all last year.
