No Pigeon Pie How About Lamb Chops?

[djgeoff]

had bit of fun this afternoon so i thought i would pass it on. my mate and i went for an afternoons shooting on peas. pigeon were on peas when we arrived, one shot and they went never to be seen again. so we settled for a crow each, it was well windy and cold so we knocked it on the head after 3hrs.

 

On the way home traveling at a nice 40 mph on a stretch of country road which is notorious for speeding 60 -70mph, we turned this bend and besides all the pigeon taking the pea flying alond side us we came face to face with a lamb wandering at a nice pace down the white lines.

it was a bit hairy as we had bends ahead and behind but my mate jumps out to try and herd this lost lamb but it was very nimble on its toes.

I put hazards and main beam on and used the car to shield may mate and try to keep the lamb into the grass verge. but u guessed it, just like a swerving pigeon it darted down the drivers side and was off down the road again with my mate in hot persuit.

By this time i had a speeding car come from behind me ( head on to my mate) my mate waved the car to a stop.

 

So if u can imagine the scene i am left facing the wrong way on the wrong side of road in my mirror i could see the now stationary car and then some stupid female nutter ( not all females are bad drivers by the way) came speeding towards me she must have been doing 60 atleast. i was flashing my lights at her waving at her to slow down. instead she decides to try and speed through what i would describe as a chicane comprized of 2 cars.

After wizzing past me the penny must have dropped because there was the sound of squealing tyres and alot of smoke,she didnt not hit anything thank god.

 

As soon as it was safe i spun my car around and shot after my mate and the lamb by now 300- 400 yrds further on.

I managed to get by the lamb then used my car to herd it to the opposite side of road i lost count how many times i had to select reverse and drive again but eventually i spotted a gate and entrance to a field so i manged to herd into that.

But my mate was not as quick so by the time got out of car the lamb decides ok im going down the passenger side of car i had to dive around the rear to cut lamzy off which worked quite well and then two young girls cycling by stopped to help by this time my mate had caught up so between 4 of us we had it cornered.

 

It then decided to try and get through the gate bars but could not so it tried one more go at me and i put my arms out to the sides and it retreated then dived to its left in to thick brambles where it became stuck and mate grabbed it. we returned it to a local farmer ( guessed which farm) and it turned out to be one of the farms that we got permissions on.

 

Noisy little things arn't they when you have one sitting on my mates lap in front of car.

 

Farmer was thankfull and said we done well to catch it.

 

So our total for todays shooting was 2 crow dead one lamb saved!

 

We must have looked a right pair Pair of plonkers chasing it down the road.

Would have loved to read this story

 

For Christ's sake edit it so it isn't just a block of letters then we might work out what it says.

 

Sentences, paragraphs, etc.

 

It's enough to send a man dyslexic

I didn't, that's the point.

 

I would have liked to but it just wasn't worth the effort.

 

You only need to break it up into readable pieces rather than just present us with a wall of letters where you get to the end of one line and can hardly tell which was the next line to be read.

 

I'm not trying to have a go at you, but if you think that something is interesting enough to share just put a little thought into how you present it so we can all enjoy your story instead of fighting through a couple of lines before giving up.

If you highlight the text a bit at a time, it makes it far easier to read.

 

Good story by the way

good job, had to do something similar when we saw a cow running down a hill on one of the places i shoot, it slipped and fell and skidded under a fence into a neighbouring field was funny but it reminded me why ive avoided driving cattle like the plague since i was a kid
