Both my parents died with heart issues before reaching 50, I almost joined the club and had a quad bypass in my 40's. Yet 20 years later Im still here surviving on a daily ace inhibitor, a beta blocker, a baby aspirin and a statin, and following the teachings of Hunter S Thompson :) “Life...

Shooting again.. at 1000 yards and then olympic trap. Previous 2 days Ive been fly fishing. Since I retired ( unexpectedly) in Dec this has been the first week when Ive thought well this isn't so bad...so now all I have to do is reconcile expensive hobbies with limited resources!

My favourite podcast series.. EP143 is well worth a listen, but then all of them are. Darknet Diaries

Breaking in a new rifle barrel, then a few rounds of olympic trap practice.

Mine are now in 3 of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DIHVMEA?tag=pinkfishmedia-21

As I use a unique email address for email, I know where this enquiry came from but I was once asked whether I had O level maths for a junior role, when I was in my late 50's and a PhD candidate ( Cosmology) and Open university maths tutor. They could apparently harvest my email but not any...

Sorry just don't do F1 anymore just to predictable, on the other hand today's BTCC racing was marvelous. ( and I can afford to get to Brands & Thruxton )

Shot at clays over at Bisley, then picked up one of my rifles after it had a new barrel fitted, then on the way home round the M25 the exhaust backbox parted company with the rest of the system. (I got to the hard shoulder first!)

It could be worse, I might have been French! ;)

@JTC .. bet you're glad you asked now! Come on guys its only Rock & Roll :)

Finished ripping my CD collection. :). Well part of it at least. I decided there was no point it ripping stuff readily available for streaming on Amazon or Qobuz, so Ive just done Box sets, CD singles, compilations, bootlegs and what i think might be rarities. 218 different titles i'm informed.

Another vote for Radio Paradise. ( in my case the Rock mix)

Time to find my rubber ring i think!

Still ripping CD's.. now done about 40% but getting to the good stuff, all the songs I cant seem to find on Amazon.. lots of 80's and 90's 12 inch remixes. ( One can never have to many versions of Relax)

Got about 25% of the way through ripping my CD collection. Even though its not a huge collection ( about 400-500) I've made the decision, because Im lazy and I seem to have quite a few bootleg CD's, that im only going to rip CD that dbpoweramp recognises. Im keeping a CD player so will always...
