i went past some mossisons utility lads yesterday, they had a taki 1.5 with a huge blast of water coming from under the bucket, road was flooded and useless utility vans everywhere with hydrants and those listening ear pieces.
went past this morning and there was a 450mm plastic water main 300mm down!!!( it was in the dip over an old bridge)
that must have been a shock and an expensive repair

10,000 posts, ffs, you never stop talking, how do you find the time to type ?, or is it voice activated like Stephen Hawkins.
Have a great trip, try not to shoot Mrs Lout

.....I worked with a guy ( a paddy ) and we had a load of shingle tipped. He said ''jesus that smells of fish''. I said ''it would do it comes from the sea, or close to it''. He looked at me as if i was stupid and told me, '' don't be silly it comes from the builders merchants.'' ??? :O :laugh: :laugh: He was serious.

looks like you had a good time Rambo
sean I was under the impression that the Irish guys don't like being called paddy as it's derogatory ?

That's a PKM Tony but I liked the Baghdad unload and your grouping's sh#t for a rifle at that range. How much did that all cost.

i never fired a gun till that day
the kick from the dragunov ,colt 45 and 44 magnum was unbelievable
the 3 full autos were all blanks (thank god)
I always assumed that when you fired a gun it would kick upwards
but the force is mainly against you
it was 130 euro for 190 bullets
shoot em all
the instructors are all serving police firearms instructors
the rules were simple
1 do what i say
2 always point the weapon down the range
for a non forces person like me it was a good afternoon out
cheers LLL
