Just had a memory recall! I won the first NI heat of Sporting Gun magazine Side-by-Side competition in 1880 the early eighties. My prize which I had to wait only 5 hours to collect was 100 cartridges. Lord how my two young kids (and we) really enjoyed the wait. The following year it was a shotgun, oh well……..
You may well jest!
As it happens, the only thing I'm famous for around here is being my son's father! Every time I have Welsh radio or TV companies wanting to interview me about what I do, as soon as the interviewer realises exactly who I am, and that I'm Iestyn's father, they only want to talk about him!
Still, it's a good feeling to be proud of one's offspring.

I had an article written about me in the Shooting Times by John Richards of WAGBI /BASC back in the day. Eighties.
I appeared on “Wanted” posters and on Police 6.
Just joshing chaps……
It was a convincing disguise...no wonder you got away with it...

Uncanny resemblance to
Apparently I am someone called Kes who all members of BASC dislike for telling, (from what I can see), the truth.
But of relevance, I once met the Secretary of State for transport whilst lobbying for a particular river crossing to be funded.
The Sof S - Glenda Jackson.
I have to admit Morecombe and Wise did cross my mind and her performance as Cleopatra was praiseworthy, her performance as Sof S for Transport was however lacklustre.

My dogs bounced him over a ditch and across half north Dublin once.
He was doing a bit of road work, the jockey was totally unfazed, the Lad was a bit of a bollix in the stables apparently.

I was at the Munich Oktoberfest 26 September 1980 10:20pm with my then new partner then! I am still with her, and her two daughters twins aged 12 when the bomb went off at the other end of the grounds killing 12 plus the perp and seriously injuring over 200 others. I was well pi@@ed at the time and did not register the fact till the next morning as I only lived 200 metres from the fest grounds as the police sirens dragged me awake.
