    Wink Basingstoke help appeal

    Talking to a few guys today and the general consensus of opinion is Basingstoke boys need help!

    Just 1p could keep a lad from basingstoke in pellets for at least half a course (if you only count the ones that hit the kill)

    So send your 1p to;
    Basingstoke close 1
    misskill
    sorry
    Bu663r 1t

    It will save Bob the job of searching the wood for all the pellets that just land in leaf litter!


    Failing that sign up with them and come and challenge us Sussex boys to a Proper comp!

    It's just a charity really John, trying to raise awareness of the little known disease among woodland shooters around the basingstoke area called Sodditimissed
    This can cause distress amongst the basingstoke woodmen, resulting in anything from Hives to slurred speech and wonky eyes (hence the missing)

    The latin for the disease ohbleedinsodditimissed probably gives a better insight into it's severe nature!

    Only cure known is to roll the afflicted in fresh fox dung...it doesn't cure it but keeps others away!!

    So send your 1p NOW!...things are getting worse...XX

    Hold on Mike-there were at least 3 Basingstoke shooters who gave you a lesson in HFT the other week-four if you count me
    Never go off half cocked....

    Well to be fair, you lot generate so much wind yourselves, how could we ever stand a chance

    Next time we get a hurricane like 1987 or 1990 we'll go out and practice then we would be able to give you guys a run for your money.

    As to the large kills, yes Tim we do have a few, but how often do you "see" the whole kill zone

    Good point (or 3) Graham.

    One more point, do we need visa's down there? and I guess we'll have to learn to walk sideways

    You'd have to make that 2p. Our courses are for real men and consist of more targets.

    BTW, can you confirm how many zimmer frames you needed at the sizzler spongey, just want to make sure we get enough in

    You know when you're sitting waiting for the lights to go green and the local boy racer's there next to you in his tarted up 205GT? You just smile and nod knowingly
