Mine my rifle has telescopic sights and a silencer. Pigeons are my victims, we have far too many around here.

What model do you have please, John? I'm looking for a Christmas present to myself, and that sounds like fun.

Many a happy day was spent in my youth shooting at stuff with .177 and .22 pistols and rifles ...

My Granny 50 years ago made absolutely amazing pigeon pies, good enough to die for (some 65 years ago) we have two of the fattest pigeons around taking advantage of the bird food put out, and what they can scavenge off the garden. but I still could not kill one. I admit I would tuck into one of her pies tomorrow given the chance. Guess that makes me a bit of a wimp. If you cannot kill it you shouldn't eat it.-- Maybe I should become a vegetarian .

I've had pigeon at a restaurant some time back and enjoyed it.

As far as the pigeons in my garden, there were far too many and they were crapping everywhere. I haven't shot any for a while as it's no longer a problem. They're smarter than you realise and scarper the minute they see me (even through a window) or hear the click of a door handle.

Morning all. Going to be a long day today with a lot of driving I think. Driving down to the Diff to collect daughter Eleri, then bringing her back to Shrewsbury to deposit her at her mothers house. Hope the traffic isn't to bad.

What's everyone else up to?

GP appointment for Mrs admin this morning. Apart from that just some odd jobs around the house.
Installed a new cooker yesterday so I'll be trying that out later with a home made pizza

Spent all day moving my mouse about to make it look like I was actively working, while trying not to fall asleep. The cold I caught two weeks ago has turned into a lingering nighttime cough monster! Two weeks of broken intermittent sleep and I'm running on fumes and chocolate biscuits... I'm fine during the day but by late evening it all kicks off again. Not much fun.
