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? Originally Posted by 7mmsaum

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

Brings back memory's of my days as a beater. 4 beats a day. bastards always pushed me to to out to the outside end of the line.walk twice as far as anyone else, walking through knee deep heather having to duck for cover when you got near the shooting butts when some retard city shooter didn't obey the stop shooting order and had to have a shot at that last grouse when the beaters were within range. Thing i was about 12 or 13 year old wish I was still as fit Originally Posted by EeeBees

Ryan, Eeebees is a world renown expert at converting raw produce into culinary delights. If any of us food loving men are ever lucky enough to meet her we should prostrate ourselves and worship the ground upon which she walks in the vain hope that she will feed us just a morsel from one of her delightful dishes. Were she to ever prepare whitebait for you I would expect you to become such a fan that you would stake out a riverside claim and invest in a net. Originally Posted by Ryan
