Central air con systems have a lot of shit in the attic like the distribution hoses, thermostat wirings, control center, etc.

Horses!

Watched a few seconds of the Three Day Equestrian Event and a few seconds is all can watch of most things to do with horses cos in the main these are expensive hobby horses, not terribly inclusive sports, a bit too middle-class.

There was an exception and have a lot of respect for the plain-speaking and very down to Earth Yorkshireman from a previous generation, a gesturing chap called.. Harvey Smith, who got a lot of stick from his middle-class fellow horse-riders.

I was looking for the results for them yesterday afternoon so I could post about them, but had no success finding them.

Will look again.

I caught a glimpse of the women’s shooting yesterday… man those flying disks are tiny! It’s amazing they can see them let alone hit them! :lol:

Oh, and I was expecting a partridge shaped thing instead of a disk! :lol:

Yes, many of us will have tried our hands at a bit of shooting at clays, but these things are the small ones, tiny things.

Here's the results of the qualification round in the Men's Skeet...

George Achilleos came in 19th
Antonakis Andreou was 25th

:(
