Can Peeler confirm that our weekend doesn't clash with the harvest festival? In most places it's just a matter of collecting tins of fruit for the elderly but in those parts they like to make an offering to the old gods.

They've been given Simon, should keep them quiet for a while.
So, Shinny 42's is it? Or those lovely Spenser Smith classic 30's? The Franco-Prussian ones? New year/new project?

The god of thunder. I'd always imagined him using his hammer though.

Peeler's more like the God of Wind I'd have thought from what I've been hearingBuff Orpington wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 9:42 pm The god of thunder. I'd always imagined him using his hammer though.

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to break out my 42mm again. Although they were such efficient little chaps last time out it seems a bit of a shame to give them a chance for failure this time!

I think we're OK on the sacrificials, we still have some left over from last time, and you lot have been here so often that you've almost - almost - attained protected status.
