Hey Pauly.

It was five by 11.00pm. Then up again at 2.00. Was going to be getting up around now anyway but no choice as she's woof woof woofing again anyway!

[TonyL]

Eleven little sleepies to go, peeps.

BOING!

I'm looking forward to entertaining Jamie & Bongo for at least an overnighter this week. It's really a delicately balanced ransome operation: do their Missus's pay us to have 'em, or do they pay Angela & I to get em back. Its good proof that the spirit of Quigley travels exceedingly well.

Afternoon BOING and up we go

Time for a brew and a sausage roll after shirk, while contemplating whether to have a quick HW45 BOING before going down the range later

A quick plink with the HW45 turned into a not-so-quick boingy plink

Followed by a blatt ping blatt ping blatt ping with the S&W 586 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdEffrsCkvQ

Remind me: who’s turning up on the Thursday ? (Apart from Trumpetier as that’s a given)

We had to take Frankie for an ultrasound scan at The Children's Hospital at Sheffield today, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to look at my RWS pellet stock and nip to NM products. Doing okay for pellets, just a little low on .22 'Domes, which a lot of my guns seem to like. So I thought I'll get a tin of those and some CO2 for the Ratties. A few seem to last me a long time.

Anyways, I was thinking that, maybe for just plinking in the garden with the Ratties, if I bought some cheapy Marksman pellets, there might not be any appreciable difference in accuracy at such close range. And, at £3.95 a box, the combined cost of those and ten CO2s works out about the same as a tin of "higher end" pellets.

Well, got home about an hour ago. Walked and fed the Brem. Then another walk after woof woof woofy antics again. Opened the box about twenty minutes ago and.....JESUS CHRIST......they look positively shocking. I haven't even seen any of these for about forty years and no bloody wonder those first tins of German pellets that I bought all those years ago (RWS Diabolo and Hobby) looked so lovely back then. As, to be fair, did the old Wasps back in the day.

Now, I feel a bit daft even saying this, but will they be safe in the barrels? They look truly, truly manky and horribly minging! Anyone know the composition of these things? Of course, I know they'll be fine and cause the barrels no harm; they might even pleasantly surprise me on the performance front at close range, but boy, do they look horrible or what?

Brought back memories of going into the local sports supply shop all those years ago and the small selection of Relums, Milbro Dianas, Marksman and Milbro pellets........That was until we discovered a shop in Worksop (8 miles away) who stocked the proper stuff......BSA, Webley, Weihrauch etc and the good old Wasps........

Anyone else used the manky Marksmans recently?

I will and can't wait Paul, looking forward to chilling out and I might even get the guns out of the van this time.

Nice one Jonny. I think Mikey45 is aiming for Thursday too ? Bongo hasn’t left since April so he’ll be there
