LAZ! I met the "True Brit" :)

toad you said near plymouth, newnham park? my mum shoots there and my step dad is a member of quite a few shoots in the area.

Glad you liked devon its a beautiful place, nice beaches, dartmoor, and country folk who enjoy the outdoors.


BTW those are not mole hills they are the impact craters from the pheasant and partridge mounted A2G missles that we are forced to equip said birds with to give them a fighting chance.

They need Stetsons.

Toad did you go to any museums?  There really isn't much near plymouth.

Lol dowding "Yorkshire born, yorkshire bred, strong in the arm, thick in the head"  that's the saying isn't it?  tougher than us southerners? nah, just a fairy tale you northerners made up to cover up your insecurities.

Mr. Toad - glad you had a good time. But you didn't call me! Oh well, come back soon. I expect you were pressed for time if you had to go all the way down to Devon. Hope you were suitably impressed with our citizens' armoury.

Hehe Ripsnort - we won't hijack Mr. Toad's thread. Let's just say that over here, we do things properly.

[Dowding]

Ha. The slightest bit of harsh weather and Londoners and Southerners generally go nuts. To listen to them you'd think a small volcano had errupted in Hackney, instead of a little snow fall.

Now if you go North, to Durham or Newcastle - the women wear bikinis and the men wear short sleeved shirts even if its snowing and -5 below. They don't believe in coats. They are winter-wear atheists. When I was a student, I used to row for my college in Durham. I had one Manc, two southerners and a Swiss guy in my crew. Guess who whined most about those 6am February starts down on the river, when there was ice on the landing stage? I even had the Swiss guy calling them a pair of SSBs (Soft Southern Bastards). All in good fun though - we were good mates.

As for being thick of head - didn't Newton spend most of his life in Yorkshire? Might be wrong on that one though.

There was a billboard ad once in the middle of Gloucester, it said:  The closest thing you can get to Streetfighter 2 on the PS would be to stand here and shout "southern pansies" in a thick Geordie accent.

lol Swoop

You make them all sound so...so...HUMAN  Toad!

Its a toss up, England or go to Australia again

It was considered a "cracking good shot", by the way.  

The American Green Legged Partridge is much larger and has a better beak than the English Red Legged Partridge. BTW Toad, were you aware that was an endangered species you killed? For all we know it may be the final one.... I hope it made a hearty meal for you and your 12 mates.

I doubt it's too awfully endangered overall.

They raise them right there from eggs. They did a few thousand this year I think they said.
