What other interests apart from guns/shooting?

Before the air rifles was the motor bikes, loved the local club racing the TT and the now Moto GP, was brought up on Woodbines n 2 stroke with me old man loved getting me knee down on the club circuits. Now the only time I get my knee down is begging to the wife.
 
I like knives also and used to collect them, I only have a few swords left now and a few knifes that I did t want to sell.
I am into Ww2 heavily and have literally hundreds of books on the subject.

my air guns are my fav hobby mind

Regards

Long story short. Immediately the referendum result was announced daughter-in-law had the EU funding for her academia research project removed. She was intending to base herself in France for the project then stay there. We'd join at that stage.
 
So what your saying is that the uk is expected to continue with its funding for eu projects it had already committed to ie the divorce bill, but the eu stopped its funding for things in the uk that it had committed to immediately.
That's strange.
But we don't do brexit here so just keep that to yourself mucka. šŸ‘
Let's say no more about it. šŸ˜

Yep bike is not for the faint-hearted once it passes 9k your seemly extremely fast bike turns into an absolute animal 108mph in 1st you really need to hold on and bang through rest gears as there is only 500rpm between 2nd gear and up gear up :)
Is a pussy cat in 6th at 40 to 70mph :D But brought it to scare the shit out myself with a huge grin ocasionly

Hi pjgtech

I used to go fishing loads years ago but then just stopped going for years- No idea why!

I'm going to start again, Got my old Lintek seat box out of the shed and it seems the roof had leaked straight in to it! There was two inches of water in the bottom and most of the stuff in there was ruined!

My fave two Mitchell 300 reels along with a 440 match that I bought new a few decades ago! :(

Luckily I found a few more reels in the spare room, Then a few more in the loft!! :rofl:

Just need to find my nets now, My lad bought me a rubberised landing and keepney that are dry with one shake so, No stink after use like the old ones!, I think they were put up the loft, Never even used them!!

By the way, My lad goes fly fishing, I fancied a go years ago so I got some cheap tackle and my lad took me in to a field next to a golf course on my doorstep to teach me to cast!, Dog walkers kept asking if I caught anything!! :lol:

He had a few decent trout, This one was 8lbs, He put it back for someone else to get a thrill!

I think this was 6 and 3/4lbs
