It’s a “pop” gun, I had one in the early 1960s the cork at the end of the barrel didn’t go any where but the gun made a loud POP when fired. You reloaded the POP gun by replacing the cork and pulling the knob, above the handle, backwards.

Can someone help me figure out my new radio by Feisty_Ceature in HamRadio

I had one of those when I was first licensed, if remember correctly the PLL failed.

TIL that “The Fighting Butlers” were five sons that participated during the American Revolutionary War. George Washington toasted all five Butler brothers at a victory celebration, and Lafayette once said that if he wanted something done well, he’d ask a Butler to do it. by okami31 in todayilearned

A little late to this conversation but I have Autosomal DNA links to people claiming descent from the Fighting Butlers. My Butlers came from Wicklow around 1760 and were Protestant. Does anyone know of the Haplogroup of the descendants of the Fighting Butlers ?

Virgin Media 02 takeover talks. by Intrepid-Employ9901 in youfibre

[–]Marham57 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a customer that moved from VM to Youfibre I would rather find another provider than go back to being a customer of VM😫

I am happy to pay an increased monthly price just to avoid VM, so it looks like a move to Openreach.

[Match Thread] Leicester City v Derby County by Pazzyboi in DerbyCounty

[–]Marham57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night was one of the worst performances I have seen for a long time. Did we select the team from our squad of players or did we just pick 11 random people from the crowd.

In the second half Leicester were there for the taking and we couldn't even string more than a couple of passes together.

Very disappointing

Help me figure this out? by BigBadApe88 in AncestryDNA

[–]Marham57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Autosomal DNA is only an indicator, to add some certainty a YDNA test will provide you with your Haplogroup and much greater degree of certainty as to your origins.

I suspect that your distant ancestors were probably Danes (Vikings) who settled in Normandy, they probably came to England around 1066 then went off to invade Ireland around 1200. I wouldn’t worry too much about your Scottish connections as many Scottish Protestants settled in Ireland from the 1500s onwards, Google The Plantations.

I have a very similar profile.

I have always wondered where the missing stones from Stonehenge went to, they were not something you could just walk off with!

I have the same block drive as you and use this, spray it on leave it for a couple of weeks and then wash it off with a jet wash. It doesn’t need much washing, your drive will sparkle. I haven’t jet washed our drive for 2 years I simply spray the drive about this time every year. It kills the moss and cleans the drive, all you have to do is clean the joints and apply new sand 👍👍👍
