The lad turned up last week with a Bear Grylls thingy which we chrono'd at 0.5 fpe
    and was smoking like buggery. Always nice to get a young 'un hooked if we can. Which reminds me..... how is that lovely daughter of yours doing on the shooting front? Has she managed to be an advocate for you indoors?
    Great news re the Ratty, Pauly. Will be just the ticket for those closer up "utility" jobs.

    Well done on getting another young newbie started matey.

    The young lassie here has been busy with loads of school work recently. A couple of Wednesdays ago, when I had a Plinky sesh with the pistols, she had a few goes and certainly preferred the HW70 to the Ratty.

    I don't think it will matter what positives she hears and where she hears them from, the Fun Prevention Officer is so determined in her narrow minded mindset that I don't think she'll ever be swayed.

    Well, you spend far too much time travelling to your shitty job, far too much time actually at work and desperately look forward to a day off and, maybe, the possibility of some Boinger time to de-stress.....

    But then the FPO is in full twat mode. She's been "re-arranging" one of the rooms and you want to see how much crap there is strewn everywhere! Well, actually, you really don't, as it'd do your nut in! You can hardly get into the kitchen for stuff that she's been moving around and don't even start me on the state of the bloating garage.

    Looks like my treat for the day will be a few runs to the local dump it site.

    I'll try and shoehorn a plink in, but we're looking unlikely.


    Oh to the calm therapy and relaxing company of the Good Folk of The Hollow.

    Can't come quickly enough, peeps.

    Oh dear Tone, me ol' mucka but I do like your rather harsh, yet direct description

    I'm glad my Mrs is very much 'pro' shooting and has indeed shot many times in competition with air pistol and smallbore guns

    She has got used to seeing 'another' gunbag or pistol case appear and bulk deliveries of supplies from our sponsor and Uttings

    I certainly like the idea of a plinky 45 comp at the next Bash, and I'll see if I can find some odd shaped targets at work in the scrap bin, you never know what turns up in there

    Well, I've been really good today and I took Shirl for a nice drive out to take in the glory of the Derbyshire Dales.

    By shear chance I happened to stop right outside the house of a really nice chap who just happened to have loads of Titan spares.

    So after a nice cup of coffee I purchased a new stock, new trigger unit and other assorted spares in order to return the SSP Mohawk action that Transporter acquired for me back into a working gun.


    Like I said to Shirl, "it was lucky I stopped there, wasn't it ? "

    Well done Mick, chance in a million I bet Shirl still can't believe how lucky you were

    Blimey, young Mick.

    It's not very often that such acts of selfless kindness are rewarded so instantly.

    The God, Titan, must have been looking down on you today!



    Nice one; hope you and Shirl had a lovely time.

    Being somewhat generous and making up for my reckless Airgun spending, I took Shirl out for a meal on the way home.




























    A happy meal.

    Harsh but, unfortunately, true, Paul.


    Anyways, I did actually manage to get a little plink in later. With all this talk of boinging, smokin' 45s, I really wanted to have mine out for a play. But the .22 Hobbies will bounce back a little out of an Argos catalogue, so I always use the steel trap when using the pistols. But, as I don't want to wind the neighbours up, that would mean shooting down the hallway. But one of the grandgits is here, so that ruled that one out.

    So I got the little Gamo out for a play and had a very enjoyable 45 minutes or so. Really warming to this little gun.

    Strangely, Tone.

    Those Smurfs with their big blue heads always remind me of Dave/Trumpetier.

    Did it result in a happy ending? Or will I arrive to find you also camping in the field this week?

    Hey, maybe we should all go out and get Happy Meal Smurfs for Dave?

    I reckon they'll look cool alongside his "My Little Pony" - especially if their blue heads are nuzzled up against...

    So it's either :-

    A) Try to get back in Shirl's good books.

    or

    B) Spend the week in a field with Bongo.


    Tough call.
