      With a magazine of n rounds, in your own time, go on.

      Mine wasn't too bad until I did a tour with a gunner regiment. Ouch.

        Yeah, those football chants can get quite annoying after a while.

          Gunner = Royal Artillery.

          To quote from Good Morning Vietnam where the Robin Williams character was speaking to an artilleryman from his own imagination...

            Google might help. Blinky linky:

            PEOPLE who install the child-scarer “Mosquito” device may be falling foul of the law, claims a leading human rights lawyer. James Welch, legal director of Liberty, told a Plymouth inquiry today that the devices were deliberately setting out to create a nuisance.
            Liberty's opinion:
            Perhaps the best way of challenging the use of this device would be via the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA). Under this Act the local authority has a duty to investigate “noise emitted from a premises” that is a nuisance, and a duty to issue an ‘abatement notice’ if a nuisance is found.

              You really do have 'hairing' problems.
