I hear you Neil.
For the 15 years in my last job before I retired, I was up at 6.00, a cup of coffee then out in the loft. All year round.
Now I am retired, I am still up at 7 and straight out in the shed.
Your brilliant result the other day wasn't a random event. You worked for it.
Well done mate! :D

That's if your desire is to be competitive Neil

Some just turn up, send and they're almost on auto-pilot

Take Gary Gordon. I've had him on the phone about 9 times since Saturday - he's going apeshit about his performance.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7 against 1,715 birds is worth a solid 6/10 in his book

Maybe he won't better that this YB season, but it'll not be for the want of trying at least
