MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
... so I've I sent the missus out with a list of ales and beers, and shall attempt to sample them all this evening 😀
Anyone else got plans to sink a few in a manner seemingly more excessive than the standard post work pint?
Yes
Yes, but first I have a date with a side by side shotgun and a couple of hundred clays. Lovely day for it. Then beer with the lads afterwards
yes - I'm going to a combined punk / real ale festival
it's going to get a little messy I fear
Off to a party with the missus and her work lot....
Thankfully I found a 750ml Chimay Blue
(hard to get down under)
Yes, but first I have a date with a side by side shotgun and a couple of hundred clays.
S/S = wear tweed, shoot game
O/U = wear jeans, shoot clays
That said, I don't actually adhere to the general "rules", mainly because I never wanted to own and get used to 2 guns. If you're handy with a gun, you'll be handy with either IMO (the reverse is also true 🙂 )
I got some funny looks turning up at a family organised game shoot on boxing day many years ago with my O/U. Little did they know i'd split about 5,000 clays with it in the few months previous. Needless to say, it wasn't a very sporting day 🙂
What gun is it just out of curiosity? I'd quite like an S/S.
...as for beer, there's a few Rochefort 10 waiting for me for the journey up to Skye after work (I'm not driving)
yes, yes, yes. Ride home, change shorts, beer. thats the full extent my plan today everything else is just a distraction.
My libations may be a little late, as I am being the "hired heavy" for a friend who's split up with her boyfriend and he's gone a bit doolally on her. So, am going to help her retrieve her stuff safely.
She has, however, promised me beer in payment. So I think I know where we'll be going later....!
CFH.....I've just had a bolt of lightening hit my brain and remind me that I owe you an email from ages ago! Sorry.
Your email caught me in the middle of moving house and starting new job, and then it must have been lost...until now 🙂
I'll dig yours out and reply. I promise!
A borrowed aguirre & aranzabal. I might put a pic up later but off to make some noise now
Ah yes, peterfile, remember that now! Perhaps a beer is in order! 🙂
allthepies, it should be noted that a gentleman is someone who, on asking a lady upstairs to see his etchings, shows her his etchings. 🙂
Apparantly so far I have Honeydew and Spitfire, more to come. Mmmmm
No, been on the wagon since 01 March - started getting massive headaches after only a couple of pints or glasses of wine.
Desperately desire a nice pint of something chewy with twigs in or a nice bottle of Chateau Crim.
But instead I shall pour cranberry juice into a wine glass and pretend!!
No ale just yet. I have a big event this evening that I've trained hard for - Stockport real ale festival Friday night session. Think I have an outside shot at the podium.
Worthington's White Shield out of a dimpled pint pot with a handle.
Beers have been sunk.
What a chuffin' ace day. Sporting birds, shooting with some welsh farmers 🙂
Joint first in the high gun, but lost in the shoot off. Ah well. Not bad for someone who hasnt shot for ages.
And a jubliee flag on the high drive for that holiday spirit! 🙂

Now a bit of babysitting and then out on the bike this evening, Should round the day off nicely.
The better halves 'significant' birthday celebrations have just commenced! My frankly insane best mate is presently on the M6 on his way to ours for the weekend. The kids are at the grandparents for the Duration! It's going to be utter carnage!!!
WOOOOHOOOOOOO! Is it too early for absynthe 😀
2 each of Spitfire, honey dew, abbots and bombardier plus a Spanish meats selection.
Oh yeah, the high life....
