While you’re waiting for your Matadors……..
I thought I would share with you how I coped waiting for my Matadors. It’s a loooong story with a lot to learn. I started this thread back in June 2011 while still waiting, – and oddly enough it became one of the most viewed threads on this forum.
This is how it started:
As it happens, I am the lucky owner of a serious harem of nice guns. And I frequently visit my summerplace on the coast down south in Norway, where weather is the only restriction to my shooting….
Summernights are nice and light with sunset around 22hrs….:

So yesterday I quit Oslo for a few weeks. Fed up with my loooongish waiting for ED and friends to deliver I took 11 members of my harem with me.
Here they are:

As some of you may know, I test and review guns for our Norwegian forum, and this time a comparison of springers is on the agenda….
So go ahead and name them, from left to right…….
And yes. There will be a more in depth test of Lelya 090 who has got new glasses for the occasion…….. 😉
Life is too short to sit put and wait……… 😀

And here’s the proof……… 😥 :
Email received by the Germans today and forwarde to me…..:
Translates into:
“Good day Mr.xxxxx
The package for delivery to Norway was sendt during your vacation.
It is possible that the courier could not deliver it to you.
The courierservice has confirmed to me that another attempt to deliver will take place in 3-4 days.
The address for delivery in Norway:
Trygve ………
You will find customs documents attached.
Yours friendly Andrej Pesterov”
Comparing this with the previous information I have shown you all higher up, – I am not veeeery impressed……… 🙄
That said, I am in a way happy that an explanation has surfaced. It looks like Andrej has been sleeping on the job and tried to cover up blaming it all on the Germans. It also looks like he has been “coloring” his information not only to me but also repeatedly to Ed…….
It remains to be seen though whether my guns will in fact turn up with the Germans some time in future…….
As I am leaving for London and later Lanzarote on Sept. 10th, I see no way now to take delivery of my guns before I go….
Hopefully the German company will sit on my package until I return to Oslo on Nov. 21st………… 🙄
If they at all receive it……… 😉
