For hick-ups; hold your breath and drink a tumbler ef single malt.
I'll try it next time, and if it doesn't work immediately I'll try it again and again if necessary. :mrgreen:

Very nice shooting KCLRPC. I was a bit surprised that there are ranges in London itself but on reflection I probably shouldn't have been. Good luck in the competition.

KCLRPC,

Sorry :oops: I wasn't aiming at you, but at the Hon. Woftam, Member for the East Coast of NSW.

Like that rifle, much like many that were converted to sporting rifles in Aust. but rarely with nice rere sigts.

Bit of a 'bitsa', Queensland maple wood from a Mk III and a new Indian barrel (that's why I bought it).[/pic]

How dare you cast me in the same lot as POLITICIANS :shock:

I, Sir, demand satisfaction :evil:

I challenge you to a duel.

Duncan is my second.

Just to keep on the topic this is my "sporter"

Aughnanure! Who is your second (or third or forth) ? I need to discuss paper thickness, initial sheet size, colour, finish, with or without paperclip nose weights etc., etc., :roll: :roll:

You may of course, furnish me with a complete apology, wrapped in a cheque for $1,000,000 made payable to "Graball & Givenowt", Commissioners for oaths and bad swearwords, PO Box 303, Blaye, France to arrive by Friday noon 14/12/07.

I remain, etc., etc.

:cool:
