After looking through this week's crop of bulls, I tried to find my TPK
REJECT list.
This was a list of topics in which I had no interest. I am not saying they
were not valid topics of interest to a lot of people.
With TPK, they just disappeared.
They included:
BIKE anything to do with motorbikes.
LANDY Landrovers and other 4wd vehicles.
FOOTY Football (soccer) not the US version.
TREK self explanatory. I did get tired of this and
reinstated it later.NB when I did make some comment a
couple of years ago aboyut Star Trek, it was answered
rapidly by a short,scathing insult from one of the Andys.
(Why do I get the feeling they haven't been around that long ?
JOTA No interest.
GDOTA ditto
There were otheres but i cant't remembeer them all. Even with all these
topics rejected, I still got a list of around 200 bulls per day. This was
using radio as well so, at 1200 bps it meant leaving TPK on all the time
and reading a few from time to time.
I know that a lot of people from 10 years ago ar SK but most have just
vanished. Why, I don't honestly know.
I don't send many bulls myself now e.g. just recentl;y I sent the bull
about the mauser and the LUger, stressing that my experience was a long
time ago. Despite being ready for insults I found a pleasant, sensible
bull from Warren relating his experiences with a little joke thrown in.
Very refreshing.Not having to read and kill some insult from a self styled
expert.
Just for information, especially for the experts. I did use a variety of
guns back then, ranging from the family 12 bore and .410 via .303 Enfield
Sten and Bren, various target rifles and pistols, usually .22.
I was chosen to compete at Bisley though that may mean nothing outside the
U.K.
