    I had a lovely result today. When I was just a boy my first airgun was a Daisy model 188 underlever BB pistol. It had no power and little accuracy but it was fun. I was telling Rachel about this the other evening reminiscing over old times, wistfully wondering what happened to it and how I would like another one in the collection. Well this morning Jack talked me into taking him to the boot fair local to us at sillyo'clock (6.45). We had walked around virtually the whole boot fair and as we approached the last stand I saw guns!!!! Low and behold, there on the table in all its retro glory was a Daisy 188, immaculate condition, boxed complete with instructions, tags and an unopened original cardboard tube of BB's. I purchased it at the lowly price of £25 quid. Superb!!!!!

    Don’t you go giving The Phantom Mod any ideas now Tone. This year alone I’ve been Cockney, Irish and Welsh


    About right to be fair

    A few little jobs tomorrow (Alfa and Vito MOTs and get to the bank) and then we have the pass stamped for a plink in the afternoon.

    Fancying an open sighted sesh, so maybe drag one of the older 35s out.

    Fingers crossed........
