  1. "Vengeance", by George Jonas, covers the reprisals for the Munich massacre, and "The Secret History of Mossad" by Gordon Thomas are both well worth a read, and I'd recommend them both ! (I got them off Amazon for pennies each !) A fascinating insight into Israeli internal security is in the documentary film "The Gatekeepers" - frank interviews with 6 former heads of Shin Bet. A real eye-opener !
  2. Air it's any consolation, it's NOT a lie the first time you say it !
  3. Her Majesty's government have issued their "robust response" ............ Prince Harry won't be going to the World Cup, and Mrs May will tell Putin not to be such a naughty boy again. Or else !
  4. Oh, where to begin ? How about............. This is completely out of character........... This was an error of judgement............... This incident does not represent my views today............ I was overzealous in my desire to do good.......... I think it's important to try and look forward from this............ I'm not proud of what I have done............( notice how they say "not proud", never say "ashamed" !) It was taken out of context........... This falls below the standard we expect......... I tried to do my best, but my best was not en
  5. I think it's a shame that the public never sees this side of the shooting community - friendship and camaraderie like they wouldn't see anywhere else ! Philpot has kindly sent me an Airsporter, which Jimmy brought back to life, and will be making its first appearance at the weekend..........and she's a real beauty............and I'm having first go !
  6. Shit Shot Challenge ? I'll win this easily............ I'm a REALLY shit shot !
  7. It's a really shame, Jimmy, as you've already put so much time and effort into this ! But, it's a safety issue, so I'm happy to defer to your experience and judgement, mate.
  8. It's the keyboard player out of Sparks ! (That gives my age away !)
  9. It showed really bad here last night, and the wide just stood there, staring through the window, for hours............ .....................it's no good , I'm going to have to let her back in !
  10. And Brian Blessed............
  11. That's not a purse ! That, sir, is a MANBAG !
  12. We haven't had much snow, but it's bitterly cold - wind chill is currently -10°. But it's good to know that the Beast from the East won't stop the daily routine of the Royal Marines - good on ya, boys !
  13. To this day, I still look away when the planes hit - can't bear to see it. Humankind has had some black days, but that was one of the worst !
  14. We make our cooking fat into fat candles for the birds........they love them, especially in the cold. We haven't had a lot of snow, but the wind chill is unbelievable, so we have full feeders and a couple of big handfuls on the ground every day. And if it attracts rats, there's something else to shoot at !

    SNOW!

    Stay indoors, turn the heating up a bit, put your feet up......... .........rugby players - training starts at 7, don't be late !
  17. Put 2&2 together ! You have a Safety minister ?!? And I thought WE were in a mess !
  18. It all started with hair gel, coloured trousers and untucked shirts.........
  19. In light of Wilf's extensive research, I'm not taking any more chances ! (Even though I've already done more than my fair share of salad dodging !)

    SNOW!

    I hope all your kids will be out making non-specific gender snow persons ! Don't want any fuss, do we ? Yesterday, the snow came, melted, came back and melted again ! Just a light covering each time........... This morning, a couple of inches, but bitterly cold. I think we've got away with it - so far.
  21. Only made worse by carrying it with the strap across your body ! No no no !!!! And if he starts every sentence with "So,..........." , then waves his hands round, like he's rolling a big ball - just do him a favour and have him put down !
  22. Makes a change from shootings, mate !
