Needs one of those traffic light air freshners too.

I guess you said something specialist the bots picked up on. Before my eyes this thread just clicked up in excess of 2.8 million views… I hope it wasn’t your bit about IBS…

Well if it helps the Bashes get more popular may be no bad thing, admitedly got several thousand likes on FB once on a tale of my IBS.
In an old Job I tended to use an empty meeting room to let the pressure off, even had the nickname of the Fart Locker, one day I was talking to somone as I had to go in the room so I backed in let fly and closed the door to spare the rest of the Office.
Few minutes later a rather bewildered supervisor walks out of the Meeting room, unbeknownst to us he'd decided to chill out in the Dark room listening to stuff on his phone on his break and he wasn't aware of what was happening until he saw my backside close to his face then move away and shut him in with the cloud.
Several people needed a good five minutes to compose themselves afterwards.

Good Lord. Surely deserving of a ‘No Naked Flames’ sign.

Would love to make it to the bash myself one year. Unfortunately elderly sick parents take my time up these days.

[Segata]

Sorry to hear that, hopefully you still get a bit of time to shoot though

[ashf9999]

Possibly not as much as one would like, but c’est la vie, as they say.

[TonyL]

Have a GREAT time all. Mach 1.5

Cheers, Paul. Be lovely to see you again at a Bash one day.

[TonyL]

TonyL has shot the bucket again.

There you go, Pete.

Much drier today Melv, warm and sunny with same forecast for tomorrow. Ground is soft but not drenched like it was yesterday. I’d say you’ll be ok to drive on it but don’t hold me to that.

Yep.

[TonyL]

I'm sorry I didn't see you before I left Neil but can I say a massive thank you to Tina and yourself for yet another brilliant Bash. The work you both put in is fantastic. See you all next time

Gary.

Same here Neil. Thank you for another superb job.

Lovely to see you again, chaps.

[TonyL]

Glad to hear you folks are all enjoying yourselves, and that the weather's brightened up. I couldn't make this one, but I do hope to get up there for the next...

ATB - JB

You were missed, JB. Look forward to seeing you next time.

[TonyL]

Anyone got any recommendations for a local taxi firm to get me home? The Uber driver on the way down was a bit unprofessional….

[TonyL]

Yay!

Well, what a fantastic Saturday that was, as always. Great to see everyone again (sorry to hear a few couldn't make it) after our long break.

Lots of newbies once again.

Far too many special people and guns to start reeling them all off individually, but..

Waddy - I hope I managed to help a little.

Hellequin Paul - thank you for the play with those superb rifles. Although shooting the Omega and Longbow is always accompanied by a tinge of sadness as to what became of Webley. And we obviously don't know how much of a fettle your 77 has had. Maybe very little. And a perfect example of how superb these are in the 25mm format. I can still remember how stunned I was when I first shot my first one back in 1984. It's amongst the very, very finest rifles I've ever shot. DON't ever sell it.

Neil sorted the weather for us and today is looking much, much nicer than the forecasts predicted just a few dais ago, so all looking good and very excited for day two at The Bash.
