Shoot To Thrill

I have only one sport in my life. Shooting. Ive done lots of other sports over the times and have given them all up but this one has been the only one to carry on going and keep me interested. Maybe due to the fact that I don't have to really do much excercise to partake in the activity might help but that is by the by.

Clays, rough, stalking, target really anything with a gun I love so I took the step to join a gun club and bring my shotgun down. Bisley is the one that I chose to go to and have been super happy with it the whole way. They store my gun there. You get cheaper clay amounts and you can have a lovely cup of tea and a sandwich in the lovely clubhouse which is adorned in game trophies, taxidermy's and lovely leather couches.

It has really given me the choice not to go out drinking. Although I have only been once because of uni and work and revision and now fecking illness. Once I have done the exams I am going to really spend some time up there. I want to really get involved in the comps this time aswell. I did some back home but think that now I have the ability to travel round the country I should try harder. It also means that i get to use my lovely lovely gun:





I don't think I have ever gotten so much fun and enjoyed something so much as i have as this little wee chap. I remember getting my first shotgun when I was 16 (under my dads license)  and moving up in the ranks of the types of shotguns you could get and which ones i preferred and then stumbled upon this. We looked high and low and then spoke to the gunsmith you ordered it in from Italy as he had not ordered them in yet due to them just coming out.
 If there has ever been a time where I have just sat and looked at something in awe it was this. I just sat looking at it. Dismantling it and cleaning it and buying extras etc etc etc.

Now I am looking further. I have started along the route of getting my firearms license and hoepfully this time next year I will be the proud owner of a new rifle. That means therefore I could not only use my air rifle:




It means I could also start along the route of going on my first deer stalking holiday which i have promised to myself for finishing my exams. I'm not really too sure why I started writing about the guns and experience. I think it was mainly because I realised that to go to the range I needed my ear defenders. I also then realised that I hadn't brought mine down from home so needed to get some.I ahve always, since being a kid, wanted some electronic ear defenders (my god this would be boring if you were reading this shit), and the other day i decided to take the leap and get some:



They are basically amazing. I have no intention of saying why because, if by now you haven't already started tying the knots of your own noose then you will if i did. However just to say that it has made me want to go shooting more, i think, than I have in a very long time.












Idiot Hole!!

Some may and some may not know of the issues that have been happening at work. It has been something that has really effected alot of people over the following weeks and it is certainly something that has effected me as I have had to have direct connection with it.

One of the lads at work, around 3 weeks ago, called me out of the blue and said that he had been suspended from work. He had been accused of sexual assault by one of the girls from work and was under investigation.
 As you can imagine this was not a good thing and certainly something that was very serious. 

Basically it works out that she is batshit crazy.

After showing us the cctv it is shown that he goes to put a note in her top pocket of her shirt. He does this. She laughs. Does not move away and carries on with the days work.

However

After this happened she then said she was sexually assaulted. Was crying all day and all night (which was bullshit as I could see she went out on the piss that night from her facebook account). She went the next day to complain. He was suspended due to the investigation and had to wait 1.5 weeks until he found out if he would still have a job. Have charges brought against him etc.

So the whole deluge of bullshit goes on for some time with the silly cow saying that she understands what she is accusing him of but at the same time she doesn't want anyone to lose their job! Eh!! Sexual assault tends to mean you don't carry on employment you dumb woman.

I think the reason that I wanted to post about it was to highlight why the fuck people need to cause drama at work. I don't think there has been anywhere i have worked that hasn't had some person or group of people that feel the need to consistently ruin everyone's daily experience. Work is dog balls enough without having to deal with other peoples neuroses.

Come to work. Do your job. Do your job as well as you can and even rub a little funk on it to make yourself feel good. Leave.

That should really be how you look at your working day. Or at least thats how i feel people should. It makes life so much more difficult when you have to interact with people that aren't mature enough or have the personality to get over themselves and their own egos to the point that they feel people actually give a shit about what they think. Even when, what they do think, is fucking inane and dull in the first place. 

Sheesh!

Silly Bible thingy

I get that I am not a religious person. I obviously cannot stand the church. Or at least certain aspects of it. But now and then you forget how utterly fucking ridiculous it is. Whilst meandering through the many news apps that are now packing my phone, I noticed an article explaining that Cardinal O'Brian had explained his ideas about gay marriage within the confines of religion or at least within the christian faith. He proffered that the idea of gay marriage would take away the nuclear family and the long held belief that a child deserves (DESERVES) to have a mum and a dad. 


As it may not come as a suprise that I found this fucking backward. Although I find many of the ideas and comments that religous figures say about gay rights and aspects of the culture and the way that the community live their lives. But the one question that I found myself asking was, how the fuck do you people get away with saying the torrents of shite that fall out your horrible, backward, divisive and archaic little mouths. Why on earth does this country, amongst pretty much every other, hold faith and religion in such high regard. 

If you look at political parties such as the BNP and the poop that falls out of their mouths and how they are held in the minds of the UK society for example. They say racist, homophobic and sexist shite but no where near as much as some of the head figures of the major religions over the times. That's not me in anyway sticking up for the BNP, just in case anyone thought I had been taking drugs alot lately.


A recent poll showed UK Christians to be 61% in favor of gay marriage. This does not even include non-Christians.
 
Cardinal O'Brien may try to claim that the Bible alone dictates morality, but he is in for a tricky ride. May I remind you of the ban on haircuts and shaving your beard (Leviticus 19:27), the rule about not eating shellfish (Leviticus 11:10), the thing about women not being allowed to wear any expensive clothes or jewellery (Timothy 2:9), the ban on polyester clothes (Leviticus 19:19) and the fact that any descendent of an illegitimate person is not allowed in a church, even after 10 generations (Deuteronomy 23:3)

As for Christian marriage, it has already gone through huge changes... twice. For starters, a literal Biblical marriage is a polygamous one (Exodus 21:10) that allows a husband to stone his bride to death if she is not a virgin on their wedding night (Deuteronomy 22:22). I'm sure Cardinal O'Brien is very glad the whole notion of marriage is not as it once was. Secondly, it was barely until the 17th century that marriages were vaguely religious or even conducted in churches.

 Maybe the only reason that people feel the need to be accepted by the church is because for some odd reason, the modern world which has moved on so so much in years gone by , still hasn't looked at the sniveling goblin on our shoulders that is the church.


Thats not to say that the christian community has done a hell of a lot of good in the world. In every community im sure that many tasks and charity events have been carried out to help alot of people. The individual people within religion obviously can't be held responsibility for the leaders but fuck me have a word and send a letter or the very least have a bake sale to tell your boys at the top that they are total twats that need to have word and grow the frack up.
