Nah I would get hold of an air rifle and one of those (if available) motorised holders and sit indoors with a joystick and then blare some music in the barn and see how many of the fuckers I can hit in 30 seconds. Better than any computer game but the only issues are 1) Limited supply of targets 2) Gotta clean up the mess. Still would be worth it.If I had a barn I'd fill it with barn owls, then invent a game called "bat the owl" where I attempted to bat an owl each night, with a baseball bat.

Been listening to these recently, like they say, barely history, more chatting shit about historical people
The British were skint and decolonising, and Palestine had already turned toxic in the 1930s.
The great British catastrophe was the Balfour Declaration in 1916, which to this day I still don't understand why it was done.
Except that's completely untrue. The UK had huge (and restless) Muslim populations in India and SEA and actually a tiny level of Jewish influence in the UK. The only explanation I've ever seen for Balfour that makes a lick of sense is that it would influence Jewish groups in the US to put pressure on the US to enter the War, and maybe make the large Jewish populations in Germany and Austria-Hungary to lean towards the Entente. But it was a terrible hostage to fortune.Think it's pretty obvious tbh, there was Jewish influence in UK politics, barely any Muslim/Palestinian influence...
