slightly off topic

[Guest guest]

Hi

Sorry, a bit off topic, but just thought I'd share this with you.

About a month ago I had to go and stay in alternative accomodation, while my

landlord let out my usual place of residence to deer hunters as a 'holiday

home'.

Well, the season is over and I would have been ready to move back. But last

night, I could only watch as my former home was burned to the ground.

The hunters had went out and left a log fire burning. These are the people

we are supposed to trust with guns as well!! I could hear the ammunition

they left in the house go off within the blaze. Thankfully I had taken most

of my possessions out of the place beforehand. They weren't so lucky-they

only had their passports and the clothes they were standing in!

 

They had left a dead deer by the side of the house. The police weren't too

happy as the season had finished 3 days ago. So they shouldn't have even

been there! If they had stuck to the rules perhaps a few stags may have

lived and I might have been able to go back to my home!

 

However, at least it was just material possessions and no-one was injured.

Hope you don't mind me sharing that with you. Cheers!

Dee [ever so slightly p****d off!]

Because working in a very remote area, unfortunately I don't actually get to

choose where I can live. I have to take what there is. He owns the property

I am in now too. A tent is not a wise option this time of year and even then

I'd still be on grounds that are used for hunting. Also transport would be a

problem if I were to move out of the area. So not much of an option.

He certainly doesn't make a profit from me directly, I get the accomodation

for a small price because I work for his wife. [may I add the job is

completely unrelated to what her husband does] I must be boring you with the

details here, so I'll stop.

 

It's sad that he makes his profit from people who enjoy killing, but

well...I think recent events may have changed that!

Thanks for the support, but I doubt this attitude will change things. He

knows how I

 

I can't imagine it would be more unpleasant than what the hunted deer / stag

goes through. Tell the bastard he is a

Not at all, Steve. Thanks for your reply and Fraggles. Cheers!
