    The Glorious Twelfth

    12 August is the opening of the grouse season and other game birds in the UK...the legislation for this day as the opening day was set in the Game Act in the year 1831...the season runs from the 18th August to the 10th December.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    When it comes to whitebait you can be as raucous as you like. I am still beside myself with disbelief that young Toby sent whitebait to that old reprobate Maca and not to me. What was that about?

    Call me a heathen but I find whitebait to be completely underwhelming? Doesn't really taste like ... anything?

    @Ryan. A good substitute for whitebait is grated potato as used in mock whitebait patties. Very hard to tell the difference.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
