    Well, that's a wind-up - you've got to give us some sort of clue at the very least...

    That is a rumour.
    The fact is that Elvis had a tattoo of Terry on his left arm.

    Has anyone the very slightest idea what this thread is about?

    Anyone?

    At all?

    For the record, I have no Elvis tattoo (perhaps Countryboy of this parish may care to explain what the bleddy hell he's on about), although I am an admirer of the King's musical stylings, especially when I'm:
    a). In Las Vegas.
    b). Pissed.
    c). Both of the above.
    d). In my man cave, wishing I was any and all of the above.

    I have a tattoo of the Romani flag on the inside of my left arm and another of the Cross of St George on the inside of my right arm. Thus, I can make good on my claim that anyone wishing to stop me flying my flags would have to cut off my arms, and each flag is positioned to cover my heart when I place my arm across my chest. Yes, how very deep and meaningful.

    Right, I've got 50 pellets in this tin, just about 40 quality shots left in me for today and I'm trying to train myself back to my former mediocre glory, so I'll bid you all goodbye.

    Laters, you BBS taters.

    Well like everyone else I'm none the wiser then, but thanks for the insight into your personal body art. ( I'm impressed)

    Don't be. The flag tattoos are fairly small; they're for my personal reasons, rather than 'body art'. Frankly, any sort of worthwhile 'art' on me would deserve a far better canvas.

    However, I can lift the lid on the mystery of this thread. The OP was impressed that Air Gunner editor, Phill Price, stated that he preferred the cheaper Weihrauch HW110 over the flagship HW100. I can see what Phill means, too, although others will disagree. I said that the HW110 will be a monster, and after shooting it intensively for a few months now, I am even more convinced.

    yes that was it in a nut shell, the Editor (Phill) clearly prefers the HW110 to the flagship 100, and states a such (in the big test) now obviously you can dismiss this out of hand but i would ask you to think about it ,it is a massive statement. (from an Editor of a gun mag) ..

    Assuming that they manage to get any into the shops, quite people are cancelling orders that have existed for nearly 4 weeks because of the delay! Personally speaking if I have a wood stock I like to see the wood, not some rubberised paint, though given the quality of HW100 stocks recently I can see why they are painting them!

    Oh shut up Moley. You've been moaning for weeks now and it's all been sorted. Any normal person would just have rubbed it down a bit and put some oil on it.
    Does anyone know how much longer the 110 is compared to a KT?
