April fools were out shooting at the range battling 40 knot winds to find the centre and taking cover from rain squalls. Where were you, Heckler???

Google is your friend.

Basically after Midday the prankster is supposed to own up to his trick, if he/she doesn't then the trick is on them and the same if a trick is played after Midday. There are many explanations as to why it came about in folklaw around the British history and one talks about a Calender twist with the French.

Junior. When will you learn that we converge into just the one? :P

Still, that sako action was mighty impressive for someone that has lived with bubba'd milsurps and cheapy .22s.

Heckler 303. Is that a picture of Edward Woodward you use with your name. ? The reason I ask is that I met him back in the 1970s at a record reception at Festival Records at Piermont in Sydney.A really nice guy. Not very tall, only about my height whish is 5 feet 8. You may not know he was a pleasant singer and that is why he was here to promote his record albums which my station 2CH was playing. Sadly of course no longer with us.
