Have you seen them ? If you have not you must be underground, every Telly in the world is showing the Legs of a seagull perched on the Vatican Chimney, for the love of God.  :crazy:

Any of you tried or heard of the following?  reads quite well and suppose getting the leg length you want could be good. http://www.hilltrek.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_Clova_Ventile_Breeches.html

So lots of news about snow and the difficulties everyone is having, well It's the driest and sunniest up here for months. Clear sunny skies with a good crisp frost. Can't wait to get out with a gun on the hill in the morning. :)

Just found out my dealer where I get my Fiocchi's from, is also going to do Hulls. I don't want that choice, even if he can get what I ask and have it there every time I need it. Who has time to look at all the new shell choice I could want and configurations that could effect what I am set on.

Today out a stroll in the busiest street in Glasgow's shopping area reminded me of how I love this season so much, the sounds of the traditional Brittish Christmas are gone, where are they ???? Today I was assaulted with the Romanian Fiddle player fudging away some undeterminable tune, then...

I was to be out beating but now changed to a walking gun behind the beaters. :)

I have been using a little bit of frosted tape on my left lens as I mostly have central vision, I say that as most folk it can change due to situations, anyway it's been working fine though gave me a bead watching habit.

The Housekeeper, and the story of the messaged bread. As always on Saturday morning my Houskeeper made my usual breakfast of poached egg on Stornoway black pudding with bacon to the side. Now as I happily bit into the first piece of toast it was remarked that that slice was not for me...

Here is a wee though I have had on my mind. We have all experienced Team GB and seen the merchandise in the shops etc, no such thing though for the shooting sports. What if we had a Brittish shell manufacturer produce a shell, same range as they normally do so no change in set up etc, maybe...

This Saturday I am having my annual lesson, I have been back at clays nearly a couple of years now,and my scores have not been very consistent, I can go from 40's ex 50 to low 30's. I am using a 682 Gold E with an adjustable comb fitted,before I had the adjustable comb fitted all I saw was a...
