One year ago to day I had a mind of my own and a life in the real world, money in my pocket and a game of golf on a Sunday morning, what more could I want.
Then! Someone called Eric sent me an e-mail saying have a look at airgunhome.com, and that was it I was hooked. A year as gone by now I have posted 922 posts blown up two laptops bought four rifles and two pistols 30,000 pellets, 500 co2 capsules and numerous pieces of junk to do with airguns over the internet, sold my golf clubs and spent so long in the workshop that the wife asks “who are you” when I turn up for dinner.”
So I’ve only got one thing to say “Roll on another 12 months"Cheers Eric

In a roundabout way I was thanking you for getting me out of that bloody walk around the golfcorse on a Sunday morning.

No but! walking around the corse and trying to get my ball out of the bunker, with a lot of rabbits watching me I thought, "Yes you buggers if I had an air rifle you wouldn't sit there laughing".

Sort of a dream job, getting paid for something you'd do anyway!  |

Many years ago-a schoolfriend of mine was a groundskeeper at an exclusive country club and worked until late in the evening (i.e. when the golfers were all gone for the day). We used to rip around the grounds in gas-powered utility carts and try to run over the groundhogs. Never did hit one- but we managed to crush alot of course markers... |
