G'day,

That's me from the Airgun BBS.

I have another - Tim Henman :-)

Cheers,

he must have thought it hilarious to have to email it....

is dame edna a relation of yours?

Thommo,

I wish!

I see that you live not far (well, by how we think of "not far") from where I bought my absolute favourite British joke (have to keep the insults flowing ) - my Bond 875 MkII.

Yep, I am mad enough to have bought it from a chap in Barnsley in around 1994, and ship it back here to GodZone when we were posted back here.

He is the only to have ever made it here, we believe, and he is undergoing a full, ground-up, body-off restoration.

It's costing us a packet, and he probably won't be worth a lot when finished, but he's our funny little car, and the grandchildren love him.

Slow, noisy, doesn't handle (especially compared with my MX5), but people laugh and wave when they see him, 'cos he's extremely unusual over here.

There you go - plenty of ammunition for "plastic pig" car jokes

BTW, that was the first time that I had tried out GMail, and did so when I saw your sig - glad to see that it works so well.

Cheers - Chris

not up to scratch on aussie jokes but theres a lad from your neck of the woods that shoots at our club, he must have some to tell so get you later as its late here and time for bed,

ps: dont the corks hanging from your hats get in the way of you drinking your xxxx beer? and any time you want to come and collect rolf harris the sooner the better.

Thommo,

I thought that Rolf Harris was dead?

Here's one for you:
Q. Why do Queenslanders call their beer XXXX?
A. 'Cos they can't spell "beer".

XXX is horrible stuff, just like Fosters, and I was embarrassed to see it on tap in the UK, but I guess that they belong with Carling's lager

I live in South Australia, home to Aussie's best beers - Coopers! (That should smoke out any other Aussies)

Sadly, I have never seen anyone with corks hanging from their hats outside of B-grade movies.

funny old thing I met a guy from the australian air force, and somebody jokingly said you want a fosters, he said nah that stuff is sh*t, thats why we export it!

I recently found out on a trip to Millride that I'm left eye dominant when shooting clays but I'm a right handed shooter hence being infront or behind the clays when shooting from left right and vice versa. I was advised to wear a patch over my left (strongest eye) to force right eye dominance with being right handed. It made sense to me......

When shooting HFT I use right eye down the scope, easy...

Ian they did'nt advise you to have a parrot on your shoulder as well did they

To answer the original questiion.

Decide if you want to shoot left or right handed, and then simply fit a butler creek lens cap on the rear scope lens and arrange it so that it opens to obscure the view of the eye you do not have to the scope.
