    To hit that dead center in the dark took some skilled reversing. Thanks for the great company everyone. Thanks Simon for the effort put into hosting us on your property.
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    A little birdie told me that Maca had a bit of a headache this morning. He was blaming it on the smoke from the fire. Tui ad right there.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    He must have hid the evidence: there was only about two dozen empties for me to chuck in the recycling, from 15 people. People's livers appear to have a lot more say over such events as you get more years under the belt.

    Thanks again Simon for a great event. Sort of reminded me of my teenage years, which aren't as far back for me as some of you haha. Sitting around solving the world's problems after a couple beers, (which definitely aid with good decision making), crashing cars on the way home, hearing stories from the more fragile ones about being sick from something they ate, or having a headache from the smoky fire.
    Fun times.
    Good to catch up with everyone.

    There's every possibility that Ross will have resat and passed his drivers licence, including the reversing bit, by then, so yeah, we could all be go for an Autumn one. Will just have to get A into G and amass some more ripping yarns over the holiday period to swap around the fire

    Rushy had left the building by the time I woke at 7 am. The heads ache was the cucumber burping, I think
    Thanks Simon for great evening, the cream, ice cream, crumble and choc cake.
    Did the hedgehog enjoy the new surroundings?

    Thanks for those chicken nibbles. High yum factor. Really enjoyed consuming one or two ( maybe three ! )

    He got given an enormous pile of snails when he got rehomed last night. Looked a little bit woozy later on. Wasn't sure if it was too many snails or the dropkick kicking in

    Ross has certainly set the bar there but the good thing is there is a whole year to practise and get techniques perfected
    I could possibly assist by rounding up some spare tricycles or chickens if admin decided they should be included .... ??
    Maybe add a set of spike harrows somewhere in the long grass as a bonus or a few shed antlers lying around would add to the excitement.
    Thank you Simon it was a great 2 days and people. The brownie I took lasted me to feilding.

    Some expanding foam would have fixed the cucumber

    Good to catch up with you Marty and happy you didn’t molest the hares, just tickled up a few cows! Oh well, each to his own, hope you washed your hands before eating the nibbles! Look after yourself
