Dunno, but I'm surprised Shyrley doesn't know what a

a gold in at the Sydney Olympics *grin* hi, Shyrley...
I think 'skeets' are 'clay pigeons.'  Anyone with money
can go and shoot game, though, and shotguns are usually
what farmers have.  Revolvers are a type of handgun,
not the ones the FBI carry in films, but the older
'western-style' ones, they only hold 6 bullets, where
the other kinds hold 'clips' of 9 or so.  Though you
wouldn't know this watching a film, cos sometimes they
just don't seem to run out...
Shown up by another limey. That's home-schooling for you, I now know new stuff about guns.
 

Oh, have I warned you that in the town where BIL lives
(I hope youn were taking notes before, dear *grin*)
that if you walk anywhere you'll be seen as either a
bag-lady or an eccentric brit?  They are at least used
to my mil walking around when she visits...

I walk or cycle everywhere, have spiky red hair and wear combat trousers. Probably be shot on sight.
 

Now, to catch up on the hundreds of messages on the UK
list...  see you there, Shyrley!

I still don't know what those black handguns with clips are called. All the baddies carried them in The Matrix (which I was watching last night).

Many handguns/pistols are called by their manumfactor's name and some by
their size. I've forgotten for sure, but most likley the pistols used in
the Matrix are Glock's. They are made entirely from syntheic resin,
except for the firing pin. If you put your firing pin inside a real pen,
you can travel through airports.

I guess you can never tell what a hsing mom might know. <G>

ah. my people. ...er...person.
<g>
do you find that people (public in general) tend to be
even more shocked that you are a parent...(are you a
parent? I was just assuming, cuz you're on the list)
with your "different" appearance?
I get alot of flack, shocked, offended feedback cuz I
am young first of all (23), look even younger (one
lady thought I was 14!!!!!), always have a different
color of hair. The least accepted was an accidental
pink color (I was going for bright red, but ..um...it
didn't work) it is currently growing out from its very
uneven short spikey state and I dress as what my
family affectionately just calls "wierd" now <g>, and
I am never seen without my combat boots with always
changing laces in them (right now it's Rainbow Brite).
People always think I'm just a really wierd babysitter
when I take my kids out. :)
