thebigLad. Yes I really am. How are you these days. And how's that horse are you back in shows yet. Ride Free Joe.
Holy shee yit. We're brothers from a different mother. My parents, especially my mother, used to drive me crazy ... "when are you going to have children - you're so good with them?!" I think they finally gave up when I hit about forty and four motorcycles! Personally I've never had a nanosecond's doubt or regret, especially now that the bike population is in double figures!
Yes. One of the lead characters, Brick Top, has a memorable scene where he tells "the silly sods who blagged the bookies" * how to use pigs to get rid of bodies. You mentioned you were running out of room to bury them and that you'd discovered pig farms so wondered if you'd go the idea from said film. * translation - the gentlemen with reduced intellectual capacity who committed a robbery on the bookmaker. The movie is called Snatch, starring Vinnie Jones and Jason Statham (before he got famous in the Transporter and Expendables films), and is a great way for you to get acquainted with some very dodgy Cockney accents, English vernacular and a great turn by Brad Pitt as a member of the travelling/gypsy/Romany community, AKA a "Pikey".
This is my SMLE No.1 Mk3*. Built in 1917 and still as accurate as the day it was made. Not sure it saw service during WW1, but I've looked after it over the last 15 years or so.
Yes Dozers Dad. We have and I do believe if I ever went into the bank and tried to cash a cheque I would get arrested as I can't ever remember signing one Tracy does it all for my and signs my name better than me. But if I want ash I just say Tracy can you get me say £50 pound next time you pass the bank and she gets it. Always worked for me. I am someone who can't keep money and we would lose the house and every thing if it was left to me. And I am sensible enough to know that. Ride Safe Joe.
BS1948 I see things your way. A sensible Girl doesn't have to be told what to do they know. Tracy to has all those Degree's and levels and stuff. And really is way above my level. But I am so proud of her and her achievements and devotion. Again she is back in university from the end of this month for a year and she will gain another degree. I do ask her time and time again what she see's in me. She just laughs and says if you don't know that I will never be able to explain it. Ride Safe Joe.
Dozer Dad How did you find that out. Tried to hide it for years now. The ears not so good these days keep having to get them syringed to breath through them. You know we been together 33 34 years and I have never heard her swear or got her angry. I think she may not be a real person. Maybe a robot. Regards Joe.
If she a robot, that explains both her not swearing and getting angry, also explains all the Degrees ! Perfect memory , so cantc fail her exams . Unless there's a power outage . lol
Baffled by Bisley - have shot there as an Adult helper for many years at the annual Scout shoot - and have won a medal for the old fart category. I have tried so many times to join a club but they just don’t bother to help. The sport will die if they don’t get new blood - my three boys want to join too. Instead we do clay shooting as that’s a lot easier to do. RIP full bore. It’s a bit like why Bisley lost out of a bag full of Olympics money because each club got arguing, so the committee spent their millions elsewhere.
We are out of season right now, but we’ll be shooting at Bizzers again come April. I am the chairman of our club and to be honest I am disgusted if you’ve been treated that way. We don’t have our own clubhouse there but we maintain an affiliation to London and Middlesex Rifle Club so we can use theirs on our shoot days. I’ll PM you my phone number - get in touch and come along to a shoot as a guest, and we can go from there!
Just like me , used .303 Lee Enfields for practice, SLR for competitions, first time I ever saw a SLR at Thetford ranges, I beat the score of the instructor who was teaching me how to shoot it., Always was handy with any sort of long gun, not so much with sidearms.
