At the risk of appearing rude 2 – a poem

At the risk of appearing rude, you make awful food. At the risk of appearing rude, you look awful in the nude. At the risk of appearing rude, your voice is awfully crude. At the risk of appearing rude. At the risk of appearing rude, your mouth, shut, should be glued. At the risk ofContinue reading “At the risk of appearing rude 2 – a poem”

2 new pistols to try.

I have bought 2 new spring type air pistols to shoot online competitions with. An SMK xs3 in .22 calibre and a Gamo P900 in .177. If you are interested there are reviews of both on YouTube. I must say that the SMK is best. It is accurate and feels good in the hand. TheContinue reading “2 new pistols to try.”

I had received his book “The Little Pot Boiler” as a gift and it was my first experience of true nonsense poetry written by a master of nonsense. When I finally came across his poem “Abc”Continue reading “At the risk of appearing rude – a poem”

Unintended Saturday.

I had plans for today. I was going to carry out some extensive tests with my new pistols. However it was not to be. My son’s Warhammer 40K game arrived and I promised to help him put it together and play a game. It took us about 2.5 hours to assemble all of the SpaceContinue reading “Unintended Saturday.”

It’s a matter of opinion.

A couple of new spring powered air pistols arrived today from those wonderful people at sportsguns.co.uk in Wales. I bought them because my original 17+ years old spring pistol has started making a destressing noise. I’ve had a little go with them and adjusted the sights a bit.

I like driving in my car …

My daughter asked if we could go for a drive around the neighborhood tonight. Other than a few trips to the shop I hadn’t driven any significant distance since about a year ago. We drove for about an hour and a half, just around the local area. I had a burn up the ring roadContinue reading “I like driving in my car …”
