SaeedThank you very much my friend.
We are very proud of our Union.
We celebrated yesterday afternoon and evening with many friends, from all over the world, with a BBQ at our pool.
The highlights of which was a shooting contest, which everyone looks forward too every year.
I will post pictures later.

SaeedThe shooting always gets most laughs.
Originally I set the targets at 10 meters.
Using the STEYER LP10 semi auto air pistol.
I have extra air cylinders for it and extra magazines.
Each person gets 10 shots.
Then found out not many are capable of hitting anything at that distance!
Amateur shooters are great fun.
Right handed people closing their right eye!
I moved the shooting position to about 6 meters.
Still, we had two ladies who tied with one big fat ZERO!
They had to have a shoot off!
The one who actually won the position of being totally useless at shooting, was so proud and screaming with joy we I needed my earmuffs!

crbutlerLooks like fun… but you do seem to have more shooting competitions that race to the bottom!
Of course, with you there might not be much chance of anyone else actually winning a serious competition..

I don’t participate in the competition we have here.
I am lucky to have an underground shooting range that can used at any time.
Very popular, especially with kids.
I have actually made a special chair for them to sit on and be able to shoot off the bench.
Those still too young for that I help them aiming and the pull the trigger!
Very popular.

FjoldThat's great! It's always good to teach the young and old, the fun of shooting.

SaeedAbout 15 years ago I was teaching my daughter to shoot air pistol out in the garden.
We had a target board set up.
In drives a friend with a 2 year old daughter.
I asked her if she wanted to shoot too, and she agreed.
Put her on my lap, and helped her shoot.
She was absolutely thrilled.
Ever since, she comes here often to shoot, bringing her friends.
We are still old fashioned here.
I used to take my daughter to school in the morning.
We wait outside the to the gate to open.
Lots of little kids come to me and ask “can I come to your house and shoot?”
They were always welcome and some still continue to come shoot!

Drop by next time you fly through Dubai.
We develop our own recipes, and they have become very popular.
Our steak apparently beats any 5 Star hotel offerings.
We have created a new chicken wings recipe that has been a great success.
Last week we had friends over and some ate too much wings and could hardly touch the main meal!
Tonight we have friends over, and we are making a slightly different version of that.
Chicken drumsticks instead of wings so they have a bit more meat!
Husbands take home left overs for their wives, as certain days we do not allow women in our gatherings!
Walter has a sign here saying
NO WOMEN.
NO GIRL THINGS
NO PINK STUFF!
It is displayed over the desert table!
If by chance a wife appears, we grant her HONORARY MAN membership!
Goes down with them very well!
We have two ladies coming tonight.
One has a VEGETARIAN boyfriend in tow!
We will make a salad for him from our Arabian Oryx feed!

Michael RobinsonSaeed, you are a wonderful host.
I have no patience for vegetarians.
I buy and sometimes even shoot the four-legged versions and then cook them for a real dinner.
Does that make me a second-hand vegetarian?
As for women?
Oh, my!
Please do not get me started on that subject.

SaeedThe vegetarian was a guest.
So we made him salmon, which he thoroughly enjoyed.

I salute your patience and generosity as a host, but again, I have no patience for these people.
They will sometimes call themselves vegetarians and yet they will eat fish!?
A fish is not a vegetable.
And besides that, salmon are themselves carnivorous! How do they reason with that?
Some of these same self-styled vegetarians will wear leather shoes and belts and carry leather purses and wallets!
Leather does not come from vegetables.
The only true vegetarians are card-carrying PETA vegans.
Although they may be logically consistent, they are mentally unbalanced!
They run around throwing red paint on normal people who are just going about their daily lives.
I think it’s because they don’t get enough protein.

SaeedHe actually eats eggs too!
Personally, I think vegetarians, or vegans or whatever they classify themselves to avoid eating meat, are mentally deficient!
We kept telling him that last night!

Joyce has short hair and would happily embrace temporary man status to eat one of those steaks.

SaeedWednesday gatherings are for friends who play FIFA soccer on the Sony PlayStation.
The graphics are incredible, and the games look very real.
Turns out this young vegetarian man is very good at it, and he kept beating others.
Then Walter Junior, my old friend Walter's son, came to the rescue and slaughtered him!
Participants were from different countries.
A Scott
A Belgian
A German
An Australian
And two Englishmen.
We had a Frenchman but he had left to France.
Non of us believe in this WOKE nonsense.
Insults fly around non stop!
Visitors get rather shocked.
But funny enough love to join in!
