Hobbies...

I'm not sure that would count as a hobby... I'm not going to investigate any further, though!

 

Oh you know what it's like sitting here bored, misreading things and laughing my socks off!

Sorry Roel!

 

My name is not pronounced like that, you foreigner.

Roelplaying is probably very boring in most people's eyes, though.

 

Sorry mate, she's English, so that makes you Johnny foreigner!

P.s Do people mispronounce you name as a Roel?

 

To quote an Englishman my father once met: "You're a bloody foreigner yourself, sir."

Nobody mispronounces my name except you lot, because in Dutch there's simply only one way to pronounce "oe" (as "oo"). In fact, I never realized until Skua mentioned it, that my name can be pronounced differently at all.

 

Look again.

 

Yes, smart guy, I noticed.

 

I'll take that as a compliment.

 

My hobby...(part of it, anyway)

Wow, nice ammo collection!

 

Ah, so that's where all the bullet pictures came from in your book "Rapid Fire".

Excellent book, by the way. What you've done there is absolutely amazing.

 

That's why I said misreading.... :roll:

Men/boys/moderators/foreigners.....pah!!!!



Mr Williams sir....incredible collection you have there. Very impressive.

 

Very nice, Tony!

Just out of curiosity, do you have hazardous material warning labels on the outside of your home??

God forbid this ever happen, but I can just picture some poor firefighter (this is better if he's a veteran!) working his way into that room, and seeing that collection!

 

Thanks for your comments, gentlemen - Zhukov, I hope you're keeping up with the 'Rapid Fire Updates' page on my site - it now runs to many pages

The firemen needn't worry - the ammo is inert.

Some more pics of my collection - these are a few years old now and I've added quite a few since then, but they're the most recent on the web. Now I've got all of the rifle and pistol ammo in a drawer cabinet, with the shelving modified to take all of the bigger stuff.

That is really impressive, Tony!

I'm curious, what's that space-age air traffic control tower on the right of the last picture?

 

It's an experimental 57mm APFSDS projectile (used as a test-bed for developing modern tank ammo).

I'm curious, do you have any AHEAD rounds in there?

 

Sadly not - I'd love one of the sectioned projectiles I see at arms fairs

 

I (and my girlfriend) have a hobby too:







Guess what it is?

 

Collecting DVD's?

As a matter of interest Tony, given the UK police and governments attitude to firearms do you need a license to own what you have got, have you notified the local police or firebrigade in case anything happens?

I know they are all safe (well I assume they are anyway) but only an expert could tell that on examination and I can see local officials getting upset if they found out or came across your collection by random.

Also do you ave any decomisioned weapons, or just ammo?
