I have the surname of a certain actor in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and on Day 1 of RAF Basic Training, out of nowhere my instructors called me Bob. And the wrong thing to do was correct them…. So since 2014, my first name is now Bob/Bobby and it stuck with me wherever I went. It’s one of those things in the military 😂

Newbie here;  once I get both knees working at the same time, will be joining the local clay shooting club for both coaching and practise, as it been a few years since I last did any shooting.

User name?  Easy;  when I was a kid I lived near the River Lee in Hackney, and was fascinated watching barges being towed up the River by horses.  I did wonder why they weren't pulled by steam tugs, as the timber barges were.  It was only years later I found that the horse drawn barges were carrying powder.  For the Royal Ordnance Factory at Enfield Lock.  So one spark from the smokestack of a steam tug and . . . kerBOOM!

I believe those barges carried about 30 tons.  I wonder how big a bang 30 tons of powder would . . . nah;  let's not go there!
