Re: the aaoc portacabin

What a fiasco!
No teabags, portakabin blocking the road, plod involved, Julians neighbours cat squashed by the lorry and Ray has just shouted from the bog that there's no toilet paper. :lol:

Re: Pigeons - body shots

All the right idea, going through the wing is not ideal but just below where the wing joins the body is ideal if the bird is at right angles to you.
