I have someone saying they're taking me to court for firing a shotgun over their heads <laugh>

The adjacent field is rented to a local shepherd and it's lambing time. Two days running we've had a woman walking a dog off the lead and it's chased the livestock.

I shouted a warning, that she heard and ignored, so I fired a warning shot and said I'd kill the dog if it came back.

So now I'm a 'horrible man and will be getting a solicitors letter' ... oops!
My mate in Tow Law has had that many sheep/ lambs killed he doesn’t even give a warning, if they are off lead running about, they’re dead.

Should have pretended to be the farmer as they're entitled to shoot any dogs worrying their livestock, if the female owner got in the way I think that's bonus points<laugh>

My only problem owner is that my gun licence is French so not sure it counts here. On the other hand the field belongs to my boss who does have a current UK shotgun licence ...

the woman was a real mouthy cow, I preferred the dog tbh <laugh>

I suppose since your gun licence is french, does your shotgun go "bôme" instead of boom?
 
I see the next pop culture war flashpoint is here. The Marvels trailer dropped this week, cue six months of middle aged white men being told **** off, this film's not for you, and then blamed for not going to see it.
 
Backed 5 horses in the National. They finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 11th.

Can't sniff at that, though I'd have doubled my profit if 2nd had caught 1st.
 
Just watched the national. Imo the protesters did the opposite of their goal. Horses were stressed as they couldn't get out of the padock and ended up falling in big numbers, can't remember it happening on that scale in a long time.
3 of the buggers fell because of the stress of the faith and e/w I imposed on them
