June 3rd & 4th Boinger Bash --- Event and Payment Details

[NewPaul]

So what's the 3A spur for? Probably your door bell.

Definitely for the boiler Phil but I'd forgotten they had taken the feed from the old immersion switch and fitted the spur local to the boiler for convenience

[tinbum]

Charming, by the way.

Well, usually we wait patiently until around 5:30 when you slope off "for a shower" and then give up waiting for your to return and get pissed!

[Papa Cleary]

There were trees.

The Clearys burned them!

Now now I'm sure we saved one...ah but you need two for a hammock that could be a problem

[TonyL]

Mmmm, the boiler. A nice chap from my range is a registered gas fitter so rather than mess around with something I know little about, I gave him a call and he was around within half an hour. I'd replaced the 3amp fuse in the fixed spur below the boiler and checked the mains fuse. Danny (the gas fitter) took the cover off the boiler and had a look around, after a bit of testing he said "there's no power getting to it, everything electrical is dead" ?? So, we checked all feeds again and all was fine. My missus asked how we were getting on and i told there was no power getting to the boiler, she said "what about that switch upstairs in the airing cupboard that used to power the immersion heater before it was removed when we got the Combi ?". "Nah, can't be that I said", so she toddles off back in the garden and I went up to said switch which I'd even forgotten was there and it was switched off, Mmmm, let me switch it on...... A shout then comes from Danny downstairs... "It's all powered up !"
You can imagine, the missus hasn't stopped grinning since. To make it worse, it's that cupboard where I keep my air pistols and all my other gun gear and accessories. I'd taken my HW45 (which sits right next to the switch in question) to the range with me yesterday so I must have knocked it to 'off' either when I took it out or put it back.
Karen (my missus) has since had a nice long hot bath with a glass of wine and a book and has a permanent smile that tells the story. Cost me 65 quid for the 'call out' too.

And no Tone, I didn't get to the barn, I was worried that if it got dark while I was there I wouldn't be able to find the light-switch

Naughty '45!

I think you'll find that it's much better behaved once it's been (Tin)bummed!

Anyways, that'll teach you not to be sneaking extra '45 practice sessions in!


Glad it was an easy fix, matey. Ours went down in late January (lovely timing, eh?). £2500 later....... With ours being a three storey house it's a pressurised system; they replaced the boiler, some of the valves / pump, flushed the system, added their special inhibitor etc etc... We've been here for over 16 years, so I suppose it's not too bad!

No problem, Pops.

He could attach one end to the tree.






















And the other to Dave's erection!!!

I wouldn't trust the rigidity of the tree Tone

I thought you might pick up on that Tone.

Point taken, Pauly.

[TonyL]

I thought you might pick up on that Tone.

I hope you were keeping the range "real", Pauly.


Like about 8 yards max for me!

Chased a plastic bottle out to about 20yds and that's where it sat until I gave up. Great fun though

[TonyL]

I hope we're talking BIG bottles here, Pauly!

[NewPaul]

Oasis fruit juice about 750ml. Started at 10yds, took about 6 or 7 shots to get it to 20yds where it sat with the lid facing me, another 7 or 8 missed shots and left it alone. Now, I'm setting myself up for a fail here but I have found I don't seem to be too bad at pistol shooting and the lads at my range have remarked on it too. I know I'm gonna regret saying that

750ml "bottle"? Bottle? That's more like a test tube, that is!

Anyone got any 6 pint milk cartons? Now that's a proper size!

[Mole trapper]

Jamies nickname is Tarzan, but I think its unfair comparing bongo to a chimp.

Poor little chimp!

Get yerself back under the bridge yer cheeky chappy.

[Captain Bongo]

Want me to smack him for you oh great customer of mine?
