Re: Almost had a ND
at nearly 64 years old I am still waiting for my first ND. Though way back in 1975 I was sitting next to a friend of mine when he had one. It was at the Royal Military Academy - we had just returned from the range with our private weapons (that was what we did on Wednesday sports afternoons instead of playing Cricket - the world's most boring game). We were sitting in his room in "Old College", cleaning our guns before returning them to the Armoury, I had just put my .357 back in it's case and he was reassembling his .380 PPK when there was a bang and a cloud of plaster and brick dust. Then for several seconds we both sat staring at this 5" dia 4" deep hole in the wall behind his desk. Good thing the building is 200 years old, no sheet rock, it has 18" of solid brick between the rooms. We looked outside in the corridor for the gathering crowd or some members of staff - Nobody - Nothing. So we went back and looked in the hole for the bullet - no sign, eventually found it on the floor behind where we had been sitting it must have bounced out between us. Anyway stuck a poster over the hole then rushed down to the DIY store for some Polyfilla and a small can of cream paint. Within a few hours there was nothing to see.
