Sorry about that, pushed bambi by mistake! :twisted:
I think we could have a game like the running man, and whoever losses 'I'm a astronomer get me out of here' they can be the contestant and go running around the field, while the competitors that aim. ;)

Mike & Paul,

Do you feel the need to explain Bambi to Tony?

Chris


P.S. Anyone know of an SMK Air gun dealer, I was trying to buy a SK78G this week and they are difficult to find.

I don't see why not - I'm not worried about it getting damaged if that's what you mean? I would have thought arrows would do more damage than pellets anyway.

Didn't Bambi read the questions on University Challenge?

Have you tried Gentry's Guns (or whatever it's called) in Welling/Bexleyheath? Just down from the Sports centre heading towards Shooters Hill?

What's wrong with Weihrauch? Other than not being able to say it...

What about some FOX HUNTING, some people are against it but I think it helps keep the numbers of vermin down in the countryside.
Maybe we can help.

     Would someone PLEASE print me out that brilliant picture of the fox shooting, as I don`t yet have a printer on the Christmas list.  I really don`t know how to create that sort of thing and I was in the printing trade for 54 years.  But not computers, though.

Doug. I have a nice Lexmark printer you can have if you like, as I bought myself a new all-in-one HP a while back. I will drop it off next week if you want it.

With the wonders of computers and tracing the IP address, you could find the culprit, tie them upside down from the Oak tree and get them to hold the target board whilst swinging from side to side. :twisted:
