Westley

Go to a certain ground in Wales, on a Saturday morning and you can't even speak in the clubhouse without getting the 'Look' from the Trappies corner ! 😂😂

At least you can talk between stands on skeet ! Open yer mouth on a trap layout and all hell breaks loose ! 😂

Most of my farmer friends are tennant farmers anyway, but still go back several generations in the same farm. They all seem to be doing rather well, judging by some of the days shooting they go on. Don't know if they claim the VAT back on that too ? 😊

Farmers that I used to shoot with ! I used to have a Musto account back then too. They would buy all of their Musto shooting clothing, heavily discounted, then ask me for a VAT receipt to claim back the VAT.

I have retired, I'm now OFF the Magic Merry-go-round 😊 Mind you, I can fully understand how some people get shot ! 😂

The post said 'Armed Police' which suggests to me that the Officer was carrying a gun ? If you were referring to the Tube job, it was believed he was carrying a bomb.

Are you leaving the Forum ?

Feel free !

I struggle to stay awake long enough to shoot 25 at DTL 🥱

They are not, neither are they qualified to deal with those who suffer with a mental illness, but they are called upon to do that daily. Doctors are very reluctant to say that someone is fit to have firearms, their very valid reason being, anyone can 'flip' at any given moment. A normally sane person can be pushed too far, to the extent they will use the firearms they have access to.

Not had your tablets today then ? 🙄 I don't think that associating with those very high ranking Police Officers is doing you any favours.

Thank you Gordon..........I have my tin hat at the ready though ! 😉

And would you expect to be instantly suspended from work, sometimes for over 2 years, whilst people who have never, or are ever likely to be, in that sort of situation, make decisions on your future. Would you expect to be held 'accountable' in a Court, with a possibility of a prison sentence, or in the latest 'accountable' situation, charged and put before a Court, just to prevent more street riots ? It has to be remembered that those Officers carrying firearms are still human. Mistakes, although thankfully rare, will continue and errors of judgement will be made. I have taken statements from reliable witnesses of an event, although they ALL describe the exact incident, no two statements are ever identical. Armed Police Officers carry out stops on almost a daily basis. You will never hear anything about those 'routine' stops solely because the subject is COMPLIENT and follows the instructions given to them. It is when people fail to comply that the situation escalates, sometimes with a tragic ending. I do not believe that those Officers should become 'victims' for doing their job.

Thank God I don't have to read any of his statements of evidence ! 😂 Maybe the buckets of sweat could have been used to neutralise the suspected bomb ?

Ah, yes. That would be one of those High Rankers, I presume ? 😉
