[Wolves] IMPORTANT - Re: LIST - Target Shooting

Wed Dec 1 19:24:01 UTC 2010

I'm not on the list but I was going to come, honest, but I have a nice shiny new 
car and one of its finest features is its complete lack of railings embedded in 
the bonnet and smoke coming from the radiator, I'd quite like to keep it that 
way at least for another week or two so venturing out when my road is already a 
fun mix of ice covered by fresh snow seems a tad foolish :(

Sorry,

chris
