You're not a million miles away with that excuse as it happens G. You look like you're enjoying shooting that Mirook.

Happy birthday Craig, hope you get some snap caps.

Sounds creamy, looking forward to it. Chris's comeback, you lads all sharing Craigs semi (ooer ) and me never having shot an auto before....now that's a squad and a half. I bet those AAA lads are shaking in their wellies.

Cheers B, I'll take you up on that. A squad sounds good to me fellas.

Oops. Must admit I would like to have a go at the Benelli SP'AUTO myself. Be good to see you out shooting again Chris.

You ever get another MK38 in the end Anni or you still flirting between the auto and the beretta?

Never mind that, we couldn't believe you missed the bin with one of those empty cartridges you were firing in when you ejected them. You got the first three pairs in and then missed the top barrel cart from the last pair. Including the birds you hit we had you at 15 out of 16 including the empties into the bin on that stand (simo right to lefters).

B in Sporting for me.

Is limestone actually the return of Ron. (hope so . ).

Good fun today despite the weather and in our group Graeme and Brian were near neck and neck, though Brian did have an advantage with his 'special' cartridges. Honestly he'll do anything to get an advantage. Well shot Rich getting high gun, great score and you did it with the worst of weather of the day. Like you the last 3 stands were my worst ones......I dropped 14 birds on the last 3 stands (no I'm not kidding either, I've still got the card :o ). Pleased to get a few quid though, and the pies were spot on.

Wonder if I could tie a couple of my Belties to front of the van. Arrive in style and all that.

It's not been that long.

I'm gonna go as well Auntie, looking forward to it (the pies that is ).

If you can borrow a Fein Multimaster then they are fairly good at removing grout. You can get an abrasive cutting/grinding attachment that is ideal for removal, assuming the gaps are not too tight. Some of the kits come with the attachment these days.

Not shooting against you anymore Rich now you're back in the top flight (not that I ever got near you anyways ). Was only a matter of time til you got back up there. Been flat out with work for the last few months, travelling up and down motorway through the week a fair bit so shooting was taking a back seat I'm afraid :o . A bit steadier again now so back onto the registered shooting. Gonna go to Lupton for sure....looking forward to it......Chard in all his magnificence. Mr P, not sure what email you've got, I'll message you my current email address.

They're thinking of starting one in Sporting just for me.

Jimmy Krankie. A true A lister. That's how I roll. There was a horrible silence when I said 'are you Jimmy Krankie'....she scowled straight at me and I thought 'on shee-ite it's not'..then broke into a big grin and said yes and gave me an autograph. Even went out to her Jag and got the other Krankie (don't remember his name) to sign it.

Erm the lady in question recently shot in the world championships (so probably does know a little about shooting rabbits).

Fitted hundreds of laminate floors and still not keen, though they are much better these days than they used to be. Much prefer solid wood flooring if budget can be stretched a litte. As far as the scratches go real wood flooring is pretty hard wearing and if you go for something like aged/character oak any scratches that do occur will blend into the timber....makes a nice patina over time. If you want to know who I use then let me know.

Tried all sorts over the years and never found anything to beat creosote (the proper stuff, not substitute). It's harder to find these days but agricultural merchants tend to have it or can get it and some timber yards still have stock. Be generous with it when you paint the cabin and get in every nook and cranny you can get the brush near. It will work.

Oh aye, bit of a recky mission before you put a bid in.

Oddly enough it's Shugborough next weekend. When you next out, the Beretta? Bloody hell £15, that's shocking mate , I'd have posted it to you if I'd known that's all it was. Was it for 2nd place in AA?

Use your winnings from that envelope G, it was bloody heavy so I reckon there would be enough there.

Mr P, did they only shoot the registered comps or did they have permission to open for practise through the week as well?
