What Real Mates are About

[nemasis243]

Well had an unexpected 30minutes this evening.

Last Sunday night I slipped a disc and for the past week have been laying on the floor and taking some really powerfull painkillers and have been pulling my hair out that I have been laid up

So ,tea time tonight 2 mates of mine rang me up to see how I was doing, the conversation was mostely about taking the mickey out of me and about all of the charlies that would be safe and running around because I have been laid up

Anyhow next thing they where parked outside in the Shogun and banging on the door.

So I hobbled to the door and opened it and was greeted by" come on you old B********D , your comming with us , we have a surprise for you"

I very gingerly got into the front seat of the truck and put my seat belt on," where we going I asked " , its a surprise I was told.

We drove about 2 1/2 mile and turned into a gate way, the lights on the truck went out and from the backseat I was passed a .222 rifle and 3 rounds.

"Load this up and dont F*****G Miss" I was ordered by my mate Phil.

The Drivers window opened and Tom put the lightforce lamp out of it and turned it on , we kept going into the field following a fresh track and slowely come over the top of a rise in the field ,

"Get ready " so I put the fore end of the rifle on top of the wing mirror,then the lamp swung onto a carcus which had a Charlie feasting on it.

I dropped the bolt and eased pressure on the trigger , BANG the foxes just flopped where he was standing .

"There you are you misserable bugger that will put a smile back on your face"

 

The lads had been watching the carcus for a couple of days and had been into the field just before they come to pick me up ,so they knew the charlie wouldnt be far away.

So its a big thanks To my mates and back to laying on the floor and a couple of pain killers , but it was well worth it

You've got some good mates there.....but you knew that!

Sounds like you owe a few beers

Now that's mates for you, and you bagged one with someone else's rifle.

You can't keep a good man down, you've got some great mates.

The back sounds painful, hope you feel better soon.

Nice one Andy thought you wouldn't stay in for long.

Just got back from Cornwall today, the weathers been rough.

I think we'll probably need to cancel for the weekend and book another one when the weathers a bit better and get Ray down then.

Speak to you soon.
