It's certainly not my thing, I tend not to give the individuals or groups much if any thought now but have lived next to ordinary mature same-sex couples in the past and they were really nice decent enjoyable neighbours to be around.
I don't know about 'The Scene' but it's known that some couples have open relationships and others are declared bi-sexual which includes the capacity for what you describe.
You ask me about "Seeing the Wrong'? I don't see what consenting adults do in their private life and I don't care to look at it in the public space, I keep it as none of my business.
Regards Gay bands, sure look at the Spice Girls & Boyzone - it's no harm, is there?
This is the gun i wish to buy i could not remember the correct name and i did some research a year ago and you are correct .
being auto is that the reason longer more powerful rounds cannot work .
thank you for your reply --every week the braincells go and are not replaced .
thanks it is the semi ruger in yanks picture when i last inquired it was about 800 euros new .

I've never used guns in real life, only on a video game hunting simulator, but even that was fun.
Besides wind direction and distance to the target, is there anything else that you need to consider when making aiming adjustments in order to achieve an accurate shot over longer distances?
303 was a great gun .
i was used as a young lad to fire off the rounds in the Curragh and 3 castles and Cahir ranges as i drove various FCA companies for years .
Larry Brennan"" RUSH"" all army winner for years was my instructor and he concentrated on the breathing and would only let off a round in the valley between breaths when the body ceases movement and he showed me on a sunny day if the sight is too bright -- he used to blacken it with a lit match.
i fired the water cooled 303 machine gun and the Bren also used 303 ammo and the 303 Lee enfield is a super rifle .
i never fired the FN or STYER as things tightened up a lot by then .
i could not get over the handgun range in Abbeyleix sandpit ,
guards everyone used it including those who were permitted to be armed and if you hit a tree at 25 yards you were a good shot .
clint eastwood and co are hilarious --the sharp shooting from a barrell 6 inches or less long is truly amazing .
a good gun makes a difference --the Boers could decimate the British all they had to do is fire at them a mile away and only their German Mauser rifles could cope with this distance and it was like shooting fish in a barrel the Brits could not reply as their guns did not have the range .

Firing a bren can end up with you having the shells go up your sleeve and burn you. And 25 yards with a handgun is average , i would be only average on a handgun
I have not been to a range in about 5 years if not a tad more.
a 303 round cost 75c so firing twenty bucks at a target is not good use.
But I had my son fire a 303 , no real kick when standing up but a different story lying prone.

Bullet drop, but that is probably all tied in with the distance calculation.
what age is your son --i have 2 teachers --i am the last driver they only laugh when i say it all going to go shortly for nothing.
was it anyone we knew .
i looked at a video of an AK sending rounds through cement blocks but an AR 15 failed --if you are in a house behind a wall shooting at me which do you think i prefer.
i am bookkeeper-- mechanic---electrician-- painter -- security man--- psychiatrist and a courier with my own personal detailed database which nobody else has re Ireland and the UK.
when i go or fully retire there is nobody to take over -- nobody has the professional qualifications or the mechanical experience to make 20 judgement calls a day .
some things in America are very cheap it is strange --buses are more expensive than here by 200,000 per bus --yours are wider and the seat cushions are wider also.
your engines are starting to be replaced by European engines and gearboxes especially Volvo in prevost buses as Volvo now own prevost .

Making a decision nowadays is all about creating a paper trail and following protocols. Judgement calls are for paupers who can’t get a proper job ticking boxes for the government.
Was at a German factory today where they train their apprentices to think for themselves rather than go running to management for a decision. A much healthier attitude although I also learnt of folk who will, for a fee, fill in everyday government forms on your behalf as German bureaucracy is impenetrable at times and getting worse.

You are basically an older and less wise version of me, with @valamhic someplce in between
One sort of realizes that there's a lot at stake within the topics we discuss.
Sure even the Taoiseach is in the paper today, resisting threats to bomb his home.
There's flexing going on out there . . .
ETA:- There's a lot of flexing going on out there.
Bottom line - Many mainstream topics are now off the menu in regard to discussions within the public space.

I could moderate this site and you couldn't.
That is different to the standard 10/22. The barrel fits with a bayonet arrangement. That would allow wabble and damage long range accuracy. If going one, I would go for the standard version. What possible benefit is take down?
Myles should tell us how Weatherspoons are getting on. When I was a school boy there were 13 pubs in Kingscourt. Then big John McKiernan died leaving 12. Pre covid there were 12. Now there is The Blocks , Gerry Clarkes, Murtaghs under new management, M & F's on the west side and Gartlans, The Court Inn and Willows on the east side. = 7.
Drinking patterns have changed. People actually want food more than drink. I Dan is going to buy a pub I would advise buying on where no wone else is doing food food and have the pub as a sideline. Very few Irish people can prepare and serve good food. They slop it up. Consider just one course.

If I were doing food, would have just one option. Monday Chicken Curry and rice, Tuesday bacon and cabbage, Wednesday bangers and mash with black/white pudding and baked beans. Thursday Roast beef, Friday fish, Saturday Beef curry, Sunday leg of lamb.
Boiled potatoes would be an option with gravy or butter for the non curry servings. Good wholesome food of the highest quality. There would be the standard amount for auld ones
and queers @ 14 yoyos and the ploughmans amount for real men 15 yoyos.
The sign on the wall would read "throw it into ya and get out". "No smoking, vaping or farting".
The place would be full.
I still advise DN NOT to do it. The staff will rob ya blindo.

this reply is not a criticism of your comments it is a little advice to the already wise declan .
looking at someones life with hindsight is a luxury those who have to live the life do not have .
you react to events in your life,
you are not master of your life and issue wise instructions from a height on those below .
you wait many years to find a companion/partner in life and when you are aware you and the life you lead are not conventional it take a special person to be forgiving of the reality forced upon us .
you then embark on a family and once the baby is born your previous life is only a memory .
when you are rearing kids they are the masters of your destiny for a few years .
when they are fully qualified and able to earn their own money it takes until their age 26 on average today as it is a degree plus 2 years masters at a minimum currently costing 18 grand a year each +++++.
only then can the parents retire from their careers as they are a couple again --- i have a year to go to be a couple again .
i am converting a large coach for our travels it has already 2 generators and all the wood paneling and water systems ,
in America a late 1990s non slide prevost sells approx 200,000 dollars to 150,000--- mine will be similar but not upholstered the same and for a fraction of the cost .
i do not feel unwise i do feel very wealthy and i am over weight and this is a real problem .
i am not poor in mind or pocket and my start was violent and rough as i had a extreme alcoholic in my family and it took me 30 years to get free of a junkie that drinks .
i am one of the luckiest people alive and i have traveled much of the world and i have 2 great kids --my wife is my rock and it is she who has the compass now .
my father was a bus driver /mechanic who reared and raced greyhounds for an income when 18 and he said he was born a slave as he was born in 1911 pre ireland .
i his son proposed to my wife in the garden of the Taj Mahal , he reared a teacher a university lecturer and a legal woman and one bus driver/mechanic despite being married to an alcoholic .
my son/daughter are totally disconnected from my and my fathers life --it is too strange for them their mother is a teacher who is asleep in her bed while her husband is under a bus at 3 in the morning as it has to be ready at 0700 .
the appalling behavior of drunks and junkies is not what they wish to experience and have takes steps to make sure they don't .
they are not fully wise in their choice but our family have rejected my life as one worth living despite the riches it has brought to them .
wisdom is subjective .
i once equaled Larry rush -- make sure you hit the fat bastard and he does not fire back.
Jazus if I had time to read that, I would read the latest judgements of the courts.
In time i hope they will read the latest judgement to you and save you the trouble.

We are referring to a slob whose house I vidited to shut him up, past history
Wisdom does not come with age??? Tell me one invention from a nursing home?
Gamehead .223 cost 31 a box last time , now 44 yoyos, why.
Would it be the war? .223 is civilian and 5.56 is a military round. Could production be turned to military. 5.56 mm which is almost identical I have bought my last box at that price. Too expensive. The vermin will run riot. Sako is made in Finland. maybe all stocks are running low.
Sellier and Bellot are OK, 20 yoyos a box of 20

Not at all. Buses and individuals. Swamped we are - and since March. God Bless America, as the folk say in Kerry. Continentals too.
But it is about location, location, location. A little off the beaten track and you're dying on your feet especially with a mortgage.
