Squires Cafe for the Mrs and me. Busy today.

Just had a batch of Barra 8s delivered. As said, top service and very decent price.

I'm still using a box I bought, blimey, probably 20 years ago possibly. Go well enough in the BSA but it's kind of horrible watching them disappear knowing you can't get them like that anymore!

Never underestimate the power of stupid. We do our best to make things idiot proof, the problem is we keep running into a new class of idiot....

I had these from number 1 as a kid in the 80s. Never kept any of them sadly but they will be worth something I'm sure.

I do like a 'K'. I have a Puncher and was waiting to see what these came out like. Very nice. Lets see how they perform methinks....

I saw a Space X launch a few years back....and I got to see the boosters return too. Epic sights and sounds tbh. There's no conspiracy, we never went back to the moon because the Clangers put the frighteners on Nasa. You don't want to be messing with any Soup Dragons......

Isaac Newton - inventor of the milled edge coin and the cat flap. Boudica - because we love a plucky underdog Shaky the Bard - 2b or not 2 b, that is the pencil

Our local Tesco had no fuel at all. I am in the camp of having an EV, a petrol and a diesel so got most of it covered. Just means I get hammered from one direction or the other at all times!!!

25m with Barracuda 8s, mostly under a5p piece, happy with that.

£36500, 1989 3 bed semi on outskirts of London. Had a £15000 loft conversion put in, sold it in 1998 for £111000, now worth north of £650,000. Bought a 3 bed terrace for £82500 and a flat for my mum for £40k ISH, sold the flat for £165000 in 2016 and my gaff in 2024 for £330,000. If you said to...

My Carm mags are a bit disappointing tbh, they look great and look good quality they just don't work very well in my gun. Not smooth cocking a lot of the time and flyers, presumably from pellet deformation as a result. Haven't put many pellets through them yet so maybe they'll wear in a bit.

Sorry, didn't mean it to sound like they were going under, which I am sure they are not, just given some of the poor responses folk here have had from Pellpax over the phone, it made me wonder if they were just going to ignore their phones forevermore. They probably could've worded that...

Phones lines off until further notice doesn't bode well.

What was the wind like today?

I bought a set of those Vernier calipers too, retired my old mechanical ones, but not completely😉 Just come back with a potting table for the Mrs. Sometimes it definitely beats the arse end of B&Q that's for sure!!!

I used mine the other night, on its lowest setting, was very useful but it's the only time I've used it!

We'll Mr Rat showed up the very next night and went off to meet his maker. A little patience is all that was required and no, the gun wasn't cocked until he showed up!! Onwards and upwards. 👍

2nd Try... TbirdX Rifle Puncher K .177 PCP Rested Score - 92 An improvement at least :-)

Tried out my new Carm mags today, do they need a bit of wearing in I wonder....10 shots here, five with each mag..the wild shot was the very first one and it felt horrible going into the breech. JSB Exacts 8.4 on this one.
