hiya,
A pal of mine, Jim R.I.P., was into politics at local level was voted in year after year because he was a good man went through the being the Mayor thing and was for his constituents 100% he did this voluntarily for many years and this is what he was renowned for never claiming a penny in expenses attending meetings functions using his own vehicle was all out of his own pocket, the parliamentarians should take a leaf out of his book having an exhorbitant salary and very little to do they should be paying their own way and not feathering their own nest’s at huge cost to the people, vote for them much sooner shoot them.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
Let me know when you are having the shoot. I’ll probably come and join you. 
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Any time to suit you Dave, we can have a few drinks at the same time, old Norm has marksman abilities so if i ask him nicely he might give me a bit of tuition otherwise will most likely shoot myself in the foot, something i’ve become quite good at looking back at my contributions to this website,but being very old i’m entitled to get a few backs up, i really should be paid for it.
thanks harry long retired.

Sounds like your a hired gun Harry,a bit like the bounty hunters in the cowboy films. I don’t know if I would have the strength to pull the elastic back on my catupult. I could practice on some other elastic ,but would probably get a clip around the earhole,as for shooting oneself in the foot,Ive had a lifetime of doing that Harry,so I don’t expect to change now.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Hired gun thats a joke, the person i was gunning for would have had to walk towards me and rest the muzzle on his own forehead to be sure of a quick end, was’nt bad at tossing hand grenades though i could part with them in quick time, pull the pin and get rid, forget the bit in the middle where you do a bit of counting, never trusted the person who put them together always assumed they’d got the length of the fuse wrong.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
Must admit I know nothing at all about hand grenades. I think you would be more than a match for somone with a gun with a few of those. I’ve met a few people with short fuses,some nasty dogs and women,put them in any order you wish. 
I’d prefer to pull the elastic than the pin,better to have my head bit off,than blown off.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Our Lass is an expert at biting heads off i get the treatment several times a day.

Harry, they say man originated from a monkey . I think the women originated from the wolf. 
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Yes Dave and the Rottweiller from the wolf.

Harry,until last year I used to go into Kens Tipper Hire office,one or two mornings a week,they have two Rottwiellers,I get out of my van,tell them to eff off out of the way,they would slink off,they had the postman by the arse,he wouldn’t get out of his van after that,not that anybody could blame him. I always reckkon if you talk to a dog and show no fear,they will leave you alone. I am also bigger than a Rottweiller.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Took some groupage into Jamesons Heywood more years ago than i care to remember, they used to have a very nasty Alsatian but this particular morning just police in force, a trailer laden with brandy had been stolen all the locks chopped off the gates the trailer just hooked up and gone, where was the dog?? faithfully trailing a flea ridden ■■■■■ which just happened to be in season and it’s believed dropped over the fence by the thieves so they could get on with their job in hand without getting the arse end ripped out of their pants.
thanks harry long retired.

Harry,Its the most powerful weapon on earth,pull you miles,and blow you further.
Cheers Dave.
Dave & Harry, first Harry I would not trust you with a grenade, because you might have a short fuse, and blow everyone up, including yourself, by the way, a short one is 9seconds, the ones they use in the films must be about 40, because they have two or three throws between then 
. On dogs when at 29 field amb, I was at the garage area, when along came a service corp captain with a alsation, then a RAMC major with a bulldog, of course they began fighting, bulldog had the paw in his mouth, and the near wolf had the loose skin of the neck of old churchill in his mouth, the two officers were clucking around like headless chickens, so I put my hands over both snouts, the bulldog released the leg, but the alsation held on to the skin, so I made a ok with my hand, and flicked the nose, the beast let go, and went for me, but I shoved my hand into the jaw and held the bottom part, right up to the soft part of the mouth, if you know about dogs, most people get hurt snatching their hand away !, but if you are holding their lower jaw between the teeth and the soft part of the mouth, they can not bite you, and you can break a dogs jaw by pulling on the top part, but do this gentle and look the dog in the eyes, and he knows you are not afraid of them, tell then in a firm voice to sit or lie, and slowly remove you hand, but do not turn your back. the captain said very brave, what if he had bitten you, sir I would have bitten it back 
, the major just grunted and went of with the bulldog waddling behind, .When I was first in Germany, I was giving a guard dog which was more wolf than dog, becauce I said I was not afraid of them, it only got me twice, when I was not facing it, when I went on leave, I would come back, and all the days I was away, the feeding bowls was left in the compound, when I was transfered to a L A D medical corp, he was put down, because he was a scary brute to the other sqaddies, 
hiya,
Yes Dave you are spot on there in my young single days i’ve done a few detours and do several hours bent running just to get to where i should really have been, i suppose it could have been described as magnetic in those days, i tend to regard it more deterrent in this day and age, i think as young fella i was a bit like that old dog ever ready, oh happy days.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry, once I used to be a weire wolf, “howl. howl,” but I am alright nowwhowl.

Hi Harry,
If we could harness all that energy spent chasing you know what!! to the national grid,we would all have free electricity.
Cheers Dave.
