  1. do you pull your nostril hairs?

    Let them nostril hairs bee. You can grow a decent mustache out of them with a little effort...
  2. An American perspective.

    Maybe you British should look to Norway? Out of our population of around 5 million, we have about 500.000 registered hunters, that is people who have passed the hunters exam, because they want to hunt. Not all of them hunt every year, but around 200.000 of them actually hunted last year. Hunting...
  3. Rifle magazines prohibited objects?

    But why is the Anschutz 1416 on any no no list? As far as I can see it's a boring , no fancy/exotic bolt action 22.
  4. Ruger 10/22 what to look out for

    I see the 10/22 get a lot of negative press accuracy wise. Maybe I was lucky, but mine, bought in the eighties, will with the right ammo shoot within an inch at 50 meters all day, if I do my part. And for me that's accurate enough for small game at such distances. And in addition it's a fun...
  5. If night shooting in England was legal

    Do you care to elaborate...Sir?
  6. If night shooting in England was legal

    We dont have your abundance of deer here in Norway, but we have a few and night shooting is very common and legal here. One can argue that it's the safest and most efficient way to hunt deer. The hunter have plenty time to pick the animal and the deer is undisturbed until you shoot them. There...
  7. Roe swimming across Aberystwyth harbour.

    Roes can swim long distances. I once saw a roe swim across the fjord here close to my hometown, a swim of between 2 and 3 kilometers. It came ashore close to our family cabin. I had observed it for a while wondering what it was, I thought it was something adrift that was blowed towards the shore...
  8. UK vs US deer stalking attitudes

    Norway and the UK have a distinctly different tradition when it comes to hunting. We have for centuries had a sort of free for all tradition when it comes to hunting. We didn't have any forest law, like the English, that gave the hunting rights to the king and his friends and forbade the...
  9. UK vs US deer stalking attitudes

    Here in Norway we had this "Please explain why you want to buy this firearm" clause, when we applied for a permit to buy before. This led to bureaucrats sitting in their offices assessing what's good and what's not a suitable firearm, without having any experience in hunting at all. So when they...
  10. Got arrested this morning

    Yes, there was probably accusations. But, the police are supposed to be educated. In Norway the police education is a bachelor grade study. I dont know how well British police is educated, but I am sure it is harder to become a police officer than to flip hamburgers at McDonalds. And this is...
  11. Got arrested this morning

    No, the school analogy isn't a bad one. It's a quite precise one. The thread starter didn't threaten anyone. And didn't do anything malicious. He was threatened and shackled by the police for simply being present. For being. There is no way to call this anything but bad police work.
  12. UK vs US deer stalking attitudes

    Ahh. Those were the days. I have never had much interest in volleyball, until a friend convinced me to join him watching a woman's beach volley match. A viewer friendly sport. And I noticed that the audience was quite male dominated .
  13. UK vs US deer stalking attitudes

    Outrageous prices @gixer1 . My heart is bleeding for you guys. I now realize that it's more than a decade since the last time I had an evening on the town for a beer or two. But realize, Cardinal pub is known for being the pub in town with the widest range of beers available and also the...
  14. UK vs US deer stalking attitudes

    That was really hilarious , because Tau brewery used to be my/our local brewery until 2003, when it was bought up and closed down by a large multinational brewery corporation. It was an outrage here in my hometown Stavanger, and most beer drinkers here swore that they would boycott this new...
  15. UK vs US deer stalking attitudes

    I dont know how long ago it is, you had your beer around here. Quite a few breweries can, and do make a decent beer now. But you will still pay dearly for it. On the other hand, on my last trip to London I found that they too will charge you serious money for a pint now.
