Those were the days Mick, long before xboxes and mobile phones when kids used to make their own fun

Those were the days indeed. As kids we used to be down by the river or tree climbing etc. Also used to spend a lot of time round a mates (the one whose parents had the biggest garden) blasting things with the airguns.

Happy days indeed mate. I will add playing cowboys and Indians, making dens, making catapults, catching frogs and playing doctors and nurses with Christine

Without having to climb up into the loft and rummage around through my early airguns porn, someone remind me what Diana rifles I might have listed after? Worryingly I'm thinking if I didn't lust after them then, they must have been seriously average.

Nope, it was FWB 127, Original 45, Airsporter (if you smoked a pipe and wore tweed at 14 years old) or the mighty HW80!

I've had them but still have the 80

I think you also recently posted indicating that you also have the "hots" for a Diana / Original 50, Jamie?

[TonyL]

I remember him, he was the sort of kid you could slap all day long and not get bored.

How's the wobblyitis doing mate?

My boy is nearly six and I'm trying to "promote" the great outdoors and avoid games consoles for as long as possible.

Absolutely, boys.

Dave.....you played with a mentalistic, murderous car with evil intent?

Christine ?

That's a strange name for a Shetland pony.

I like to name them all after past acquaintances

Well today I had too much time on my hands so somehow ended up ordering another sfs rifle. This time their Diana 34 conversion in .177, it'll make a nice change from having all hw,s in the cabinet.
So effectively two long waits now.

Ah, that explains why you call one Shetland, Bongo.

I can't be arsed to put it in non airgun as it'll only end in a fight about racism and Brexit, but:

Many of you met Grant earlier this year, he's a smashing lad despite the beard. Tomorrow just after 1pm he will be my son-in-law and I couldn't be happier.

He is a member of the forum, shootingtall iirc, but I would like to take this oppurtunity if he's reading, to wish him well tomorrow and welcome him to the family.

That's the springer family too btw, he got a nice break-barrel for his xmas bonus.

The very best of wishes to Grant and the Bum family.

Er, just wondering, like, but what might this have to do with Brexit, Nick?
