Dea,

Well done you.

A true story from my past. I used to be a very keen pistol shooter and I was a member of a local gun club. The club was having an open day where members were encouraged to bring a friend along to have a go on the firing range. Although I knew a lot of the club's members I did not know all of them and I met one I will always remember.

She was a lady probably about 60 years old and about as big as you are. The reason that I remember her particularly was that when she removed her outer jacket she revealed that she was, as the American crime novels say, packing a rod. She was wearing a shoulder holster in which she had a Desert Eagle which is a large .45 calibre semi automatic pistol.

I immediately pictured this dear sweet elderly lady being confronted by a mugger or handbag thief. She would probably draw her weapon and to use another Americanism, blow them away.

Maybe she had at sometime in the past been threatened in a supermarket and had decided to be ready should it happen again in the future.

Mornin all~~~~~~~

Gun club :-0


Dea, don't get any ideas...............

Gins,

There was nothing wrong with gun clubs or indeed guns themselves, it was the person holding the gun that you had to be wary of.

Today there are no handgun gun clubs because the Firearms amendment act 1997 put them all out of business by banning all handguns. It is not a very comforting thought when you realise that today apart from some police officers and some military personnel, the only people who now have a handgun in England, Scotland or Wales is a criminal.

Mind how you go.

A perfect way to start the day <3

Gosh Linds, - They must be very big charms dangling from that bracelet :-0 what a very thoughtful and special present !

Good morning all :-D


So glad that the weekend is over and done with! A really good but really tiring time for me. It's amazing what people produce for weddings these days......things I have never heard of and decorations beyond imagination. We had a cake maker there - a local chap because we were supporting local businesses and, my word, his cakes were absolutely incredible. Superb artistry.


So now I hope to be back to normal and I am going to iron ALL day :-D :-D


Jonesey, you can tell our Gins has never lived in a huntin', shootin' and fishin' area can't you? ;-) :-D


Glad you had a good party Linds and the charms sound very, very, special.

Will catch up later.
