    Well done for all your efforts-does this mean that you can start sarcastic threads moaning about the Moderators not responding to an enquiry within five minutes of posting a problem?

    Seriously, I hope you enjoy your retirement from the madhouse G.

    Many thanks to you and ALL the other lads that put the graft into keeping what is by far, THE best shooting forum in the known Universe
    Never go off half cocked....

    All lies matter

    Point taken.

    My very best regards - enjoy the time you have with your children.

    Logging off now, next time I log on I'll be a BBS civilian. Thanks for everything.

    So can we now start calling you an ugly old fat bugger? .

    Welcome back to the other, other side .
    When I look back, the fondest memory I have is not really of the Goons. It is of a girl called Julia with enormous breasts.
