    Yep, the screwball is distinguished by having a bubblegum in the bottom.

    Similar consistancy to the buffer washer in a crappy old BSA.

    I think Pete will be more your ice-cream sandwich kinda guy. A nice rectangular block of Lyons Maid Vanilla (cut with a knife, very important!) between two nearly stale wafers.

    Bubble gum indeed!

    What do you think?
    NO buy a Diana 34 if you want a proper break barrel

    Well I can't deny what Phil said, I've had many a battle trying to get a piston out because of a decayed buffer washer

    To be honest Nick I am rather partial to a 99 (flakes being one of my fav chocolate) and you always look like one of those dirty sluts after a Bukkake orgy after you've just finished an oyster

    Well there's no point denying it as it's a well documented fact that they were shite, exactly the same as the graunching on a 99, there's no point saying it doesn't happen, when we all know it does, it's just one of those unfortunate design faults that is a pain but can be easily sorted.

    Good Lord! Come back for a look on the forum after a few weeks away to find that Mister Lightnin's face-fungus is a hot topic! I'm sure there were a couple of Robins nesting in it last time I saw him......

    Rhys's beard is lovely.

    That said, I'll remember to have a shave before giving him man hugs again. Last time we were stuck together like Velcro!


    And I think dem little birdies were actually hedge sparrows with strawberry sauce on their chests!

    Errrr.... Something to say about my facial habitat?! The robin is a very protective and terratorial animal., They may get upset about you saying things about them like that..
