Vintage, mate. Vintage. :smash2:

So what do you want for this "vintage" ten quid rifle :D:D

Just thought I’d google my first rifle & discovered a discrepancy in their information.

My first rifle was a Webley Osprey bought for me on my 13th birthday in 1970, according to their info the Osprey wasn’t introduced until 1975, they need to revise their info.

My first was a Webley senior I had shot in the pub at a 10m bell target from the age of about 10, it was still way too big & heavy for me when I liberated it from the (closed down) pub aged 12 so my grandad bought me a BSA meteor that I shot for years, I still had both + a Falcon FN19, HW77k & a HW80 up until about 8 or 9 years ago, other guns came & went but those 4 stayed & I still regret selling them each for its own reason

I noticed that inaccuracy four years ago.

Haven't had a good night of sleep since.

Lidl here is the same. If you're not within 2 foot of the person in front of you in the checkout queue, you can guarantee someone will just step in front of you & jump the queue. Staff won't do anything as they're afraid in case something kicks off (as happened frequently at the beginning of lockdown).

Tesco is just as bad, the older you are, the less social distancing seems to apply, especially when you get 2 or more OAPs stopping for a natter mid aisle.

So I went to M&S food hall for 2 pints of milk today.

I went to the post office a while ago and there were 2 blokes there saying after you, no after you, no after you - so I just went in past both of them :aaaaa:

A 500Gb SSD SATA 3 hard drive to upgrade my desk top.
I say my desk top but the reason I need the 500Gb unit is because my wife now uses the computer for working from home. It has a 120Gb SSD that helps make the use faster but all non-program stuff should be stored on the other 1 Tb hard drive.......... She has not grasped the importance of this and keeps killing the main drive with downloads and allowing shit to write to the C drive. :BangHead:
I've tried to edumacatee her :bash: but I'm wasting time, so I have invested in a bigger SSD for the C drive that she can download and store shit on without killing it........ for a while :icon_pc:
