Not only a man in the woods, Munch, but one you have met through the Internet, what could be more suspicious than that?Angela Woodford wrote:I'm getting prepared to meet a man in a mac in the woods.

You're absolutely right, Katharine!Katharine wrote: Not only a man in the woods, Munch, but one you have met through the Internet, what could be more suspicious than that?
I've never done this before, but understand that the best thing is - always tell someone where and when you are going!
I'll be sure to recognise him from the standard man lurking in the woods, if he's wearing galoshes as well?
Ooh, excited!

Overexcited -
Quite right, Maggie. I must save my excitement for the Rifle Range. Kapow! Someone at work has told me various hints about which is my dominant eye? Kapow!midget wrote:Calm down Angela!

hmmm .... I've been put on a rota which requires me to be in the rifle range from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. This is something of an irony. As I have said elsewhere on the forum, this was not one of my favourite places at CH.
Each year, we had to go to the rifle range for "classification" - all part of the CCF or "corps" which was then a compulsory activity for UF and above every Thursday afternoon. One lay down (about 5 cadets at a time) and pointed the rifle at the other end of the range; every so often a target popped up. It stayed up for a couple of seconds and then disappeared. To the day I left, I swear I never discovered where the target appeared, but rather than just lie there without shooting (which would have earned certain and immediate retribution), my strategy was to pull the trigger when everybody else did.
Of course, I never actually hit my own target, but I was discoivered when it became clear that the guy next to me had somehow obtained 6 holes in his target out of 5 shots - I got a very painful army boot applied with some force to my transom for my pains.
Perhaps on Sunday, I will be allowed to examine the mechanism, if it is still in place after 51 years.
