My dad sometimes took us to Kent where we'd shoot Rabbits and the occasional Pheasant with an air rifle. Pheasants have probably got to be the dumbest animals alive as on the way back from golf my dad would sometimes pull up on the verge and go and stun (then wring it's neck) one with one of his clubs and we'd hang it in the cellar to eat in the next day or so.


I could still probably skin and gut a rabbit.

Remember the smell still ? peeling the skin off like a wet suit & that film between skin & carcass. I get a fair few pheasant in the season if you fancy the odd brace.



W**F

gawd, that brings back memories, used to work for the fruit and veg sellers in the offices above at nine elms, sorting out dock tickets, making tea and answering the switchboard in a cockney accent. The highlight of the week was all the office staff being given a bag of fruit and veg to take home on a friday, i was paid ?35 a week :-S

    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?
