    Went away for an activity weekend which included clay pigeon shooting. Turns out I'm bloody good with a shotgun.

    There's nothing else for it, I can only put it down to being part of the treadstone project, there is no reason why I should of been dispatching those clays with such efficiency.

    I found myself to be quite hand with a shotgun too.
    It's good fun.
    My speciality are the horizontal clays... for some reason I find it very easy to hit them that way.

    Driving. I'm too old and fat to do it seriously, but I'm actually very good at it.

    Similarly I am very handy with a shotgun. And a handgun. Weirdly, anything that involves gunslinging.
