    Admit it DORTW your a lost cause banished forever to looking through various airgun forum web sites sales sections and peeking around the corner of gun shop counters in an effort to acquire the next 'must have' addition to your collection. Welcome aboard.

    It looks as if under proposed Gov. measures the Collectors Section is going to be blocked from internet searches unless we "opt out" of the ban on airgun porn

    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    I imagine searches like "elderly pumper wanted for some backyard fun" or the like will be met with sensorship filtering.

    Life on here may become quite difficult!

    I would thoroughly recommend collecting classic Webley air pistols. Brilliant fun to shoot and superb examples of quality British engineering from times gone by. My mate Ian Jones even likes them.

    I wonder if she also had a collection of tutus knocking about as I know somebody who might be interested (to go with the shoes.)

    I feel quite good that I have the self- discipline not to expand my collection beyond 14 rifles. Actually no that's a lie my Mrs will have a right go if I buy anymore because they take up too much space. However she has 10 assorted Mulberry handbags taking up space and not to mention they average about £400 a bag.MMMMM? something wrong here me thinks?
    Collecting is addictive and I can never say I will not buy another rifle because if I saw one I wanted for the right price I would buy it and I know where I would stick it!

    Oh, come on guys!! Get a grip!!

    Stopping collecting is easy as pie; I've done lots of times! It's the "not starting again" which is the problem!

    Anyway, I don't collect them any more but I tend to keep the ones I buy for a very good reason at the time!

    I did get it all going in the right direction 20 odd years ago; Rifles/Pistols:- 55/18; 32/12; 24/8; 19/6; 17/6; 17/0 and now 27/0. Oh well!

    Time to take my own initial advice and GET A GRIP!
