Frank I got a smile out of James

Well it was on the inside..... We are in a civil defence emergency at moment with flooding and heavy rain. But it stopped long enough last night to get out and with days of rain we knew animals would be out. James shot this guys and then we had a mission to carry it back through flood waters up too the waste in the dark. Man his rifle and pack were heavy! I think James had the easy job carrying the deer. Dressed he went 72kg

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

Exactly. The only smile is on the deceased.

I talked to James today on WhatsAp but we had a lousy connection.

James sent me those pictures and I forwarded them to the group that hunted with James when he came up for an antelope hunt in Wyoming. My brother asked, "Can't he pretend that he's having a good time?"

Next time, just before you press the shutter, ask him if he wants to go to Maccas.

Forget Maccas, tell him Cindy has left the building!

You know him well frank, so can vefrify he does smile. usually when you have missed an easy shot or stabbed yourself etc.

I can confirm that he can smile. I saw it once - about seven years ago. It was a fleeting moment , but it did happen.....

I got two smiles out of him when he visited me in California. The first was in the cookie (biscuit) aisle in the local supermarket when he saw four different flavors of Oreo cookies and the second time was in the candy aisle of a convenience store (dairy) where he found six different flavors of M&Ms
