Yes, they were worried in case the war finished before they had a chance to join in the 'fun'. Amazing what propaganda could do when there wasn't the technology - or the freedom of speech - to beam the truth live into every home in the country.

This is a sad topic, bit of a downer, sorry - I find Sunday night's depressing enough at the best of times!

Its been quiet on here this w/e - where's Jumb and Richard and James Anthony and Colin? Where do the guys go at weekends?
And why is Wordy so shushed, writing another 6 novels and two slim volumes of poetry this afternoon?

Your archery query was great, Dee. What you can find out about on WW! I'm tempted to think of a few obscure things to ask, just to see if anyone knows!
My brother was into archery when he was in his early teens. You know we used to have a long oblong gardern and we'd set the bow up and shoot..even tho it wasn't a full sized set-up, there was no real fence between us and next door. Looks like we could easily have dispatched a few of the neighbours...!

Yes, where is everyone? JA has just uploaded something but I haven’t had time to read it yet. There’s sod all going on… it’s not Christmas again is it? Don’t tell me I’m still on that feckin’ island!

That was some fascinating info from Tez. I love the way you can tap into stuff on here… we should do more. There’s an archery range about six or seven miles from here and I’m desperately trying to keep myself away. I have an addictive personality when it comes to hobbies. I’ll join and convince myself I can’t exist without a few grand’s worth of top of the range equipment which I can’t afford and then bore the brown stuff out of any poor sod who comes within earshot, telling them all the fascinating details of arrow points and string twisting… see I’ve started already…

Oh sod it! I need something to get me out of the house more…

Keep yer pecker up, tc… I’ll tell you all about my new bow next weekend…

Ah! Archers!

Dum-de-dum-de-dum-de-dum. Dum-de-dum-de-dum--dum.

Hi!

Mock away me old mate... see if I care... I'm getting quietly ratted here because I've had two weeks off work and I have to go back at 6am tomorrow... ugh!

Where you been all weekend anyway... not more weddings?

ps... OK... we've tracked you down... where's Richard and Wordy... Hmmm???

;D

Dee, you sound just like my brother with hobbies. His girlfriend expressed an interest in dolls houses..now HE's going to all the fairs and wallpapering tiny rooms and discussing the pros and cons of minute furniture...think he must have missed out on some stage of childhood, (well, weren't much call for dollies down t'pit, tha knows)
Hi Jumb, were your ears burning? Hope you haven't got too much Sunsilk on or yer hair'll go up like a beacon.
