Snapper

Now look you lot. I used to work for the agony aunt Marjorie Proops (1975-1977) and I still bear the scars. In the course of my day job I also have to manage the snaps for another one of these lovely ladies. To be frank, I'd rather not see HMVF degenerate into a kind of MSN or Tricia Show in Cammo - but who knows which way the HMVF ketch will sail? I don't think Jack's much of a Dr Ruth, anyway - (she's prettier). Jan, if I were you, I'd avoid the next Ladies Night in the Clubhouse - the beers off, there's only Babycham and Vimto and Exeter City are at home which means no police protection. It clashes with Olympic Tiddlywinks anyway. This brings together a few threads but wholly keeps us off the issue of finding you a Land Rover, which is probably a much safer love match and Landies never leave the seat up. MB

If I told you he'd have to kill me.

Don't Exeter play at St James's Park??????:rofl:Might explain it.

The thing is a wood and iron lump and I am assuming what was on the end was just a bit of metal to suit and not anything detailed. A proper metal butt plate comes up a bit thin. Maybe I'll do some scultping and keep it. I only want iron sites. A tri-lux jobby would triple the value of the thing. It's not massively important - just a little fun for winter projects. I'd like to make it look sweeter. MB

I'd just like to say that there is nothing wrong with a dry sherry before dinner. Very satisfying after a crap day in the office. Which is pretty much every day. Lager: I enjoy most brands of the non "brain damage" strengths - Except Budweiser, which really is pee water. Newcastle Brown Ale, a fine drink, was developed by my wife's grandfather John Millar who died in 1963; Master Brewer and then Managing Director of Scottish & Newcastle. Something of a genius and a good soldier, he was an officer in the Argylls in the Great War. God Bless Him. The Club house serves all drinks to all members. You can even get Babycham, but I'd think I'd draw the line at drinking it, I last tried it as a fourteen year old, Christmas 1973. Yuck. Advocaat is even more of a mystery - but Snowballs are still acceptable. But keep yer mitts off my Custard Creams. Privelege of rank - Politburo rules. MB
