pegasus bridge Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 That is good news, although I did read the title 'BBC shock' and thought they might have stopped the mind numbing Mandela coverage - no such luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snowy1977 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yeah im tired of hearing about Mandela too,sick of seeing all the celebs and politicians in competition to be his biggest fan aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aled Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Cracking news shows what young people can achieve if introduced to shooting in a responsible manner. Cheers Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snowy1977 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Exactly aled,lets hope it motivates more kids to take up any form of shooting,without the youth there won't be any sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetter Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Just sent the link to the fantastic story to my wife.

Zetter Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I bet your in laws are great fun! Was told in no uncertain terms that my Xmas wish list this year had to have some non shooting stuff on it so they could get me something. Pain in the bum really as I had a load of stuff down that you never get around to buying like extra deeks and a pullthrough. They wont influence my daugter though she is clay shooting barmy at the moment and really wants her own gun as shes fed up just being the scorer.

snowmonster Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 They wont influence my daugter though she is clay shooting barmy at the moment and really wants her own gun as shes fed up just being the scorer. Get her one as soon as possible, we now have a routine here every time my 4 year old grandson comes I have to open the gun cabinet and show him which one is going to become his. I think he's maybe just checking up I haven't sold it , can't wait till he's a little older and get him out and about he already has his own thumbstick and the poor old dog doesn't know weather it's coming or going when he gets his hands on the whistle .

Maldred4 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 It's great that Amber Hill won young sports personality of the year. The coverage she has received has been fantastic and positive as well. I'd even go so far as to say I have heard and read more on Ambers award than on Andy Murray winning the main sports personality award. P.s I think there must be some irony that a man with no personality won. Just my opinion, not an Andy Murray fan I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safc1973 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yeah im tired of hearing about Mandela too,sick of seeing all the celebs and politicians in competition to be his biggest fan aswell! some of these animal rights groups have been mourning him as well - do they know he was a keen hunter?

Penelope Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Very poor considering Newsround is aimed at the young. You would have thought that they would have reported on an individual winning that distinction from the demographic the programme is aimed at.
