Thanks Phil
You would think the (your choice of shooting position) would help people but alas they still come unstuck, but you have to give Anne some credit if she misses she always goes back after and keeps shooting till she gets it, i have put a proposal in for some floodlights to be put up for her, so be ready for some late nights Phil
[B] Yipee ki yay
Steve, thanks for giving me the oportunity to try and reach Rogers standard, usually I can't even get close with the dia courses you set. And your right, even with the target you hypnotised me into missing I wouldn't have drawn with Roger.
But seriously good course you barsturd.
mankind is merely a gnats fart in the great wind of creation, but it sure does stink up the place.
Ergot ? wasn't that responsible for a dirth of werewolf sightings in the 17th? century France. One very wet year and poor wheat harvest, the next thing everybody thinks he is the wolfman and tries to eat his/her nieghbour. Wow far-out man.

Ergot is a fungal (fungus name Claviceps purpurea) disease of grasses. It became famous for attacking rye and contaminating the rye flour that bread was made of. The 'ergots' are shaped a bit like rat crap and replace the grain in the flower head. They contain quite a lot of LSD, hence their hallucinogenic potential. But other things in the ergot have other, rather nasty, effects and it would be most unwise, potentially fatal, to try to get a 'high' from eating them. There are now very strict controls to prevent any ergot contamination of cereal grain.
If you remember Dr Finlay's Casebook you may recall Dr Cameron(?) freaking out and crashing his car in one episode. That was due to eating rye bread contaminated by ergot.
Ergot is still reasonably common on ryegrass and I am fairly sure that if you looked hard enough you might find some at Kibworth around mid - late summer. But purely for curiosity sake that is.
PS. Mushroom Man was Anne's idea of a label for me ... not mine.
Cheers, Phil
