Sand-Yeti Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 ....Nearly wet myself laffing at this thread...love the context around helmet talk ...typical behavior one eye and no brains.. just one question YETI ...how long does one smoke a peasant for ???? Apologies for writing smoked peasant ham. I am bilingual in English & German and when I wrote that, my brain was in the Swiss-German mode but I bashed out the translation in English. We have back in Switzerland a very tasty smoked ham that we refer to as Bauerschinken. Direct translation of this would be Farmer's ham or gammon. We sometimes use the word 'Bauer' in a derisory manner to ridicule people living in the Swiss countryside much like you do in England when you call someone a peasant or country bumpkin. Be assured it is never used as a slur on the noble profession of farming. Bauer in my dialect is pronounced something like Borer but drag out the 'o' & roll the 'r' after the 'o'. In high German it's easier as it's pronounced Bower (like in Power but with a B instead of the P). I hope the explanation of my erroneous writing is accepted and understood. I had no intention of smoking a peasant, which is not to be confused with smoking a joint. A joint in this case being neither cannabis, nor a penal institution. Indeed it shouldn't even be confused with the joint in a leg of pork. If you are a farmer, peasant or country bumpkin, please do not take my translation of Bauerschinken as a rude remark because my intention was quite honourable to describe the kind of ham that I like. So to get back to the serious discussion about the purchase of cheap helmets, it is a good idea if you are a poor peasant who can't afford an expensive one. No stories please about the pleasant peasant pheasant plucker. This is a serious thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand-Yeti Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 i need a bit more coverage than that Yes! I agree festa but we are talking about ridiculously cheap helmets. What's to stop you from running down a pheasant somewhere in your beautiful Welsh countryside & making your own pheasant helmet? It won't get much cheaper than that.

But pheasant helmets with tyre marks on them could be dangerous as they have obviously been well and truely run down.So order one from the canary islands cos they are cheeper.weekend off on the pop so if i spelt anyfin rong sorree.

Sand-Yeti Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 wel you both have good points but i have a lager head and am still awaiting planning permission for a new helmet I hadn't really considered that there is a requirement for different sized helmets because all adult pheasants are more or less the same size. I must I agree festa that it doesn't make much sense for you to get a pheasant helmet in view of your admittedly big head. However, perhaps you can convince one of the Ozzie subscribers to KC to shoot an emu. These are much bigger birds as I'm sure you are aware and a suitably sized helmet to fit your good-self made from an emu would not be perfect. Additionally, it would eliminate Daitan's concern about tyre marks. You would find a hole from where the bullet entered the emu but this is a positive aspect of the helmet because it allows for ventilation in much the same way as push bike rider's helmet, which are full of holes. The down side to the emu helmet is that it will be a little more expensive than the pheasant helmet because you would incur freight, import & handling charges plus of course the price of a bullet or to be more exact a cartridge. A bullet in this case being a small projectile shot from a rifle as opposed to the Flexifoil Bullet. Planning permission will not be an issue in this case as long as you pay the import duty. Better still smuggle the emu helmet with a boat load of illegal immigrants to avoid custom's duty & duck under the radar when it comes to planning permission. If you were to be stopped when buggying with your emu helmet by a policeman or an upright British citizen bustling with civic responsibility, tell them it is actually a helmet made from your Christmas turkey. They won't know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAITAN Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hey SY if i see anyone buggying around aberavon beach with any sort of feathered helmet,being pursued by a bunch of immigration officers custom officials and a Duck it will be Festa and i know where he got the idea from.But it could distract the dogs from wiping their feet in his flysurfers.

steveP Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 wel you both have good points but i have a lager head and am still awaiting planning permission for a new helmet Is that like a "lager top"? If you do have an unfeasibly large bonce then, as an occasional exponent in the art of flat roofing, I could always come over and fibreglass your head with a few layers of 2oz mat and a gel coat in a colour of your choice. As we quote by the sq meter I'm sure it would be quite cost effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
