    NV on a snowy night.

    I went out last night for a first try of my new Falcon NV scope, after an afternoon spent zeroing it . I have a spot which shows a few bunnies in the day but untill now I didn't know what it was like after dark. It was still snowing a little when I got there so my first scan round showed dozens of little glowing things,,which I assumed was snow. So,,I sat down for 20mins untill the snow stopped and had another look round,,,the glowing things were still there,,,, attached to bunny heads,,,there were so many I couldn't count them. I shot two,,all I needed,, and then the second problem arose. There were so many bunnies around me, front,back and sides that it was impossible to move without this brown tide swirling away from me in all directions. I'm now looking forward to this supposed hard winter to come.

    I had a young tank commander with that problem. I moved him onto dog handling and he was fine.

    Ask your Labrador mate.

    She used to go down a storm in the Corporal's mess. No problems with hip dysplasia on THAT one I can tell you..

    BTW. How's your arthritis these days?

    You mock my working class roots again. You brag (in private) about having your first sexual experience with your personal penis and bottom washer.



    Careful or I'll tell them what sort of animal she was....

    You need to get that wax sorted mate. It'll get you into trouble one of these days.

    As I told you before, I had a 'Personal Pianist' and a 'Cotton Doucher'. D'you mean they didn't have these things where you grew up? Such deprivation!! Tsk!

    As pianists go, she was actually very attractive in a Bavarian 'Hausfrau' sort of way. Certainly she could ferry 6 Steins at a go. You'd have trouble having a go at 6 Steins.

    If you like I'll give you Brunhilda's number. YOU can tell her yourself the sort of animal you think she is......if you have the 'flasche' I love the sound of spines snapping in the morning. Reminds me of...etc, etc

    How you can be so silly with only one head is beyond me........
