Lovely day for it, tried my route to and from work, got myself a nice coffee at a place near home on my way back. Could get used to this

Fuck yeah! That's fantastic news, congratulations!

Back on the bike tomorrow! Getting my NZ commuting bike. Going single speed, simple and light, can't wait to get riding out here, its so flat!

That sounds bizarre!

So were you all playing at the same time still? That sounds like an odd way to do this.

I'd rather listen to Michael Owen I think

She got her visa approval today (thank god!). Being constantly alone has one seeking out familiar voices.

Latest "football ramble meets..." is michael owen. Its actually quite a good listen, completely glosses over the four years he was here mind you. If you can put up with him you get a good insight into the sheers arrogance and inability to self-criticise of the man. Describes his move to Real Madrid and taking the move believing he was better than Raul And Ronaldo as "self belief" He had a pop at Lucas Perez the other day (completely incorrectly as it turned out Perez not coming on was the managers decision, not him refusing to come on) The irony seeming to be lost on him considering his time with us.

Come and be a steward, we won't pay you though...

Magnificent

Ok, I should say "mostly" hunting focused. That fucking 50 cal was a monster! it was huge! All the pistols and a couple of AKs were available but in a locked room as they required a different sort of licence to all the shotguns and hunting rifles.

Not particularly, would love to have a go though. Its a very different culture of gun ownership here it seems, compared to the americans, its all hunting focused rather than "home defense" military boner automatic cock substitutes. I was talking to one of the guys who works there for ages as he explained various things to me, it was a worthwhile trip.

Ohhh they do! https://strandbergguitars.com/portfolio_page/23-misha-mansoor/

Nah, they sound kinda crap regardless, as did the EMGs I had in a guitar I don't own anymore. Dimarzios seem to be the most readily available thing out here, a brand I've never paid attention to really so I know nowt about. Some bareknuckles would be delightful!

I went to a gun shop today, which was quite an odd experience having never actually seen a real gun up close.
