Just got back from the U.K. a few days ago and wanted to express my thanks to Brian the Brit and Strangely Brown for, for the second year in a row, their great hospitality in having lunch and drinks with me, driving me around and generally being entertaining. The icing on the cake, too, is that, unlike last year, they posted no photos of me looking decidedly chubby. On top is this, slagging about my renowned lack of shooting ability was kept, relatively speaking, to a minimum! It doesn’t get better than that.

Thanks, fellas, and I’ll impinge again next year.

Shall we try for the impossible next year and get Brian the Brit to pay for lunch? :D

It was good to talk Martini's in such pleasant company, thanks again for lunch.

I think there's a greater chance of seeing me at the range and actually hitting a bullseye than there is of BTB ponying up for lunch. But we live in hope.

Cheers,

Free food and drink, lovely surroundings and a Yank to take the p*ss out of.

It doesn't get better than this.

Looking forward to next Easter, gentlemen.
