£25 from the rainforest. Battery life is excellent on it and easy to use once you work out the controls. The Sandisk Clip + is going for the same price if you search online.

Looks nice, I use a cheap Android phone too but the benefit there is I can use Spotify offline playlists.
It was yeah, I work for the MoD and they invited staff to come out to the 50m range and test fire 10 rounds on the 1944 and a 1914 SMLE (think it was that).
They also had some deactivated stuff like machine guns etc. Was a brilliant day
It's a fashion watch, as long as it has some perceived mid range designer name people go mad for watches which look hideous and are matched technically by £20 non-designer examples.

Just got this from Ernest Jones for my Girlfriends BirthdayNot really a fan of Micheal Kors but this new edition looks really nice for £230
I like that. It wouldn't be a daily wear for me, but as an option to wear for certain occasions, it's a good choice.
For the record, I'm not a fan of MK stuff at all - I'm purely going on appearances rather than name.
Dem East Sussex yuppies.
Young and upwardly mobile? I don't think so, about to get free prescriptions and don't work any more. No mortgage, smaller house and only two cars.
Andi.
Was only messing.
I agree the watch is a bit...Essex, but I guess that's what young girls want these days.
How superb! I am very jealous. I suspect the '1944' was a Lee Enfield Number 4? Very similar to the SMLE but no nose cap and the rear sight isn't half way up the stock.
That was it, it didn't have the nose cap protruding from the end of the barrel. The soldiers got to play around with the sten gun and the more interesting weapons.
TBH I wouldn't trust us civys with that stuff anyway.
£60 from overclockers.
Ran a quick speed test & got an average of 430mb/s read speed. Compare to my current Crucial M500 240gb SSD which gives 277mb/s
Planning on putting Windows 10 on there & a few utilities which I use on a regular basis.
My school had Enfields and a Bren gun. We got to play with them often either blanks or live rounds.
When your 14 and firing a Bren gun its awesome!
Presumably this was in the days before risk assessments...
Not sure. School always had big links to the Army and Airforce and even 6th form scholarships paid by them. All pupils had to do two years compulsory CCF in the 4th and 5th years.
We had our own assault course and firing range and armoury on the school grounds along with acres or woodland and grassland and the fun bits of ccf was firing real guns and the full scale excerises (with blanks). Was pretty cool as you could pick modules like REME etc and you did actually learn a lot of stuff.
This was all back in the 80s. Shame if its not allowed today.
Just googled it. Doesnt say what arms they still have though but they still do live round practice.
EDIT: actually reading that the firing range must have gone at the school as was on the grounds when I was there and its listed as offsite now

Ours did, we had 2 BRENs and would take one every time we went to the range up in the dales (lived in yorkshire at the time). They had loads of No 4's and some 22 for the school range (which is still there on google maps).
Was Yorkshire here too
Just google mapped jmy old school and where the armoury and firing range and assault course was is not a mix of grass and all weather tennis courts
