Man up princess!

Has anyone told Bruce about BetterBruce yet?

So much like Bruce, right down to the hair style and pick-up truck, just, well, better...

Younger, better looking, and yes - generally just better!

Lol. Only one Bruce I'm afraid. Oh no wait, my old mans called Bruce. Oh shit, so's his Dad.

[/snip] But as I say meeting all you lads makes it all worthwhile for me and Shirl, strangely she told me the other day that there was a new lad here at the weekend who looked a lot like Bruce but was somehow better. [snip]

It's nice to get a post in instead of TonyL.

Boing.

All the best Mick

---------------------------------- You can carry on now.

Blimey, nice one! 1000 posts. Is that an all-time record?

Well done, Mick. You fully deserved this special number.


Er.







BOING!!







BOING!!

It's my turn to give thanks to Mick and Shirley plus all the afore mentioned people involved in providing a sensational weekend at "the Bash".
New acquaintances added to last years -and long may the list grow.....
I guess we could all write a book about our experiences but it's suffice to say that mine were all positive.
To all those folk with whom I managed a chat thanks for your time -the conversations enriched the occasion for me.
'Til the next time.......
Regards
Paul


Mick -Thanks for the night watchman role you gave me Sunday and Monday .
Thanks for fettling the trigger/safety on my '77.
Enjoy that holiday !!

Lovely to see you again, Paul, and very nice chatting with you.

See you next time.

Afraid not, Tony. There's eight others with over 1,000 posts.

I'm not going to tell you what the record is, because you might see it as a challenge

I just saw a gauntlet boingin down the road

Well, Jim, I was already thinking, as a special "commemorative" thread, that we could achieve the dizzy heights of 2014 posts and then close the thread?

Hope you enjoyed the day, Jim. It was fantastic to see you there.

Thanks for putting us straight on that Jim.


A yup TonyL the gauntlet is well and truly thrown down. I think I can see a few boings coming on.

In however long the "BBS massive" has been running only eight other threads have reached the thousand post mark. Gentlemen I salute you all. Not bad for a bunch of gun nuts. See we can read and wite.

Goodnight all. Hal.

I thoroughly enjoyed the day thanks, Tony, and it was great to meet you again.

As promised guys, here is a link to the receipt I have received from H4H for the £143 we raised on the raffle. I have obscured part of my address for obvious reasons:-

Well, just prior to my departure on the Sunday afternoon, Mick spent some time outlining what I needed to do to seal the leaky breech issue on my HW35, along with kindly giving me a brass insert and some 'O' rings for the job. Well, I got home and still flushed with the weekend's activities, I re-chrono'd the two HW35's I'd left at home
No.1 was a '73 (leather piston seal and pre-safety) .177, which when it came to me had an OX spring fitted and no breech seal. I'd put a standard spring back in and renewed the seal. I'd not done a lot since then. OMG chrono'd at 7.75fpe with superdomes
No.2 was the '80 .177e. I'd replaced the broken spring on this one and fitted a TBT kit and replaced the breech seal and piston seal (for a new style Weihrauch). Depressingly chrono'd at 8.5fpe

Well, I carried out Mick's instructions for the breech sealing on No.1 and refitted it all back together with the addition of a TBT spring guide (for some reason I could not get the top hat in as it coil bound the spring during compression stroke). Well in oil soaked leather seal fashion, my garden resembled a re-enactment of the battle of Waterloo, as smoke drifted across the garden after each of the first 5 shots, then things became clearer. Let the old girl settle a bit more and then chrono'd her 10.2fpe. So well happy.

No.2 to get the same treatment next week.

I think this epitomises what the weekend was about (other than plinking through a couple of tins of pellets) - enthusiasts sharing experience and knowledge with each other

Thanks again Mick
