Should be called 'Alien...Again' Change a few names, give it a plot tweak here and there and it's the same film. Bit like 'The Thing' the other year.

Just to help you cyclists out a bit, this... actually means 'Stop'.

Inflation down in case no one had noticed

Coming down the M1 yesterday we saw, and smelled lots of smoke and the carriageway was partially covered in smoke. Same fire perhaps? It sure looked nasty from the motorway whatever it was.

OK, count me + 3 in Looking forward to this I assume plaswad and semi autos are ok?

My albino catfish was called Artie Gruber...anyone remember him? 2000AD was the best comic ever.

Yes, but it stops the criminal element obtaining them doesn't it, which is, after all the whole point. (yes I know thats dangly bits, sarcasm doesn't work well on a forum huh )

No, it's just you. You are the anti-christ

I asked this same question to a very good shot I had a few rounds with. His opinion was that after the first round, when you've shot a reasonable score, you cease to shoot 'what you see' and instead try to replicate the round you shot before, falling into a kind of, 'I shot 9 here last round its so easy I don't have to try' mentality. Loosely, shoot what you see, not shoot what you expect to see I guess. I've only ever done 2 rounds once, the 2nd round was so poor it knocked my confidence and I vowed never to do 2 again My scores have improved a bit since then.

Celtic..anyone want to bet against me?

Had firsts through my Maxus no problems at all. Prefer Olympics myself though.

They're all good, I have a grade 2 hunter, suits me, but you won't go wrong with any of them. Buy the one you like the look and feel of

For me it was when Pendleton arrived at my house, naked and invited me to 'take a shot at the gold big boy...' Or did I dream that?

I noticed that too, wonder what advantage it gives, or is it just fashion?

I wish I were a glow worm For they are never glum How can you be grumpy When the sun shines out your bum

I had a similar situation some years back.I was delivered 2 TVs by mistake. I phoned the company and explained their mistake, they said they'd arrange to collect one. 6 months later, after hearing nothing from the company, I unpacked the 2nd one and have it to this day. Well, I tried at least.

Seating is a free for all. There are results screens on the shooting fields themselves, I don't know about elsewhere on the grounds. I did hear talk of screens in the 'tents' but I didn't visit them or see them myself. These shots are all from the main or centre seating area. There are 3 in total, the main as shown and 2 smaller ones, one either side of the main. You can see all three shooting fields from the centre stand, it really is the place to be.

Ah, don't be fooled, we were there very, very early and the seats were all full for the competition. Heres the same stand just a little while later... Filling up nicely.

The layout for the skeet... Busting a clay from the middle stand... and the centre seating area...

I'll whack some pics up later, give you an idea of what its like. The shooters had no cover either, at least for the skeet, don't know if that'll change for the trap, I'd doubt it.

Food and drink are horribly expensive so take your own. Well food at least. An empty sports drink bottle can be filled with water inside the venue free, you cant take any liquids more than 100ml in with you. Theres no cover in the viewing stands (for shotguns anyway) so check the forecasts and take appropiate clothing and a small umbrella if it looks like rain. Other than that its all pretty good. Hope you have a reat day too.

Well I had my day out at the Womens Skeet today. It was great fun and it went so quickly, always a good indicator of having a good time. Got there really early, had a row with the Army security about the size of my flag, I won and then bagged a couple of really good seats to see all the action. Our girl bombed badly, so no Brit interest in the final and after a heavy soaking, it was almost like someone ordered the sun for the final and it duly appeared. The American girl was on fire, hitting a new Olympic record 99 to take the gold, the Chinese were 2nd with the Slovak girl taking 3rd after a dramatic shoot off. All in a good day and well worth the trip.

Now you know, next time your burgled or need a copper in A hurry tell them there's someone outside with a pellet gun :-)
