Well done SoR for the initial thread , life's dull if you can't have a laugh , keep up the good work everyone it's an amusing read !!!!!

 

[clayclouter]

god almighty is this still going!!!????

 

[Tim]

Yep it's still going, In that pic she certainly looks the part.

 

[Supercharged]

we looking at the same picture Tim ? .

 

[Tim]

Err... the one you posted - maybe I should get my missus nail varnish out and do my nails pink like hers if it will help me hit a few more clays, If I do it now it'll just have time to dry before I go to High Lodge this afternoon.

Back to the picture, it looks like a pretty good picture to me - I'd like to have taken it.  Is that a Beretta she's using and that looks a bit like Holland and Holland's ground but I don't think it is.

I note that it hasn't taken long for the corporate sponsors to take notice!........or is that a standard Gamebore skeet vest ?

Cynical? Moi!!

Ain't it funny. The rest of us have no chance of sponsorship unless a string of good wins under the belt.

Just saying

The best bit about MEL is that she is Northern and keeps her accent ....and she has got a very well proportioned figure.

See you point - but I suspect they (or her coach) have just 'gifted' her vest rather than any cash or shells.

By the time this thread finishes, Mel might actually be on Team GB...

By that time she could be shooting as a vet!

Looks like it is far more than a free vest.

Hmm I thought it Olympic skeet she was going for, well hopefully I will see her at the next OT GB shoot then , as if I dont need anything else to distract me .

I could be wrong, but there's still nothing explicit or implicit to suggest that they are giving her free shells (and a free vest is one of the the cheapest ways of getting the brand out there and associated with a 'sleb) - "we'll be advising her on which load to use" is a world away from the stock, trite PR verbiage, "and we're excited to announce that Mel will be a sponsored [brand name here] shooter and shooting [brand name here] shells!"

Likewise, I suspect both Ben and Phil are 'lending their time', rather than charging Mel actual coin for their services - working on the association of a 'celeb' against their respective names. Call it mutual/symbiotic back-scratching.
