Is it a “Barlow” x2 magnification lens, if so you might be getting what they call “empty magnification “ . To get proper magnification you need a bigger light aperture ie the bigger the telescope the better

“The Universe is more beautiful and terrifying than we can imagine”, think that this is from a film that I can’t remember but it’s absolutely true.

Most definitely chocolate heaven, I have strict orders to bring some back from Salzburg when I’m over there for the skiing.

Badly!!

I think it’s the utter irrelevant questions contained in the census, I can fully understand asking about health issues and things like that but questions asking “ are you a manager “ “ how many people work for you “ etc what on earth is that got to do with planning?

I doubt it, the "Upkeep" of these planes is too expensive just to "Chastise" the Russians I'll get my coat.

What’s the difference between an apple and a Russian missile cruiser? Apples float on water

I would say you are correct in this, you only have to look back at Operation Market Garden to see how easily it can go wrong.

That's good enough

Sorry wasn't meaning to come across as sarcastic but it does sound like a good variety of drinking and eating places for such a small town.

Alpinos ?

Sounds a rather pleasant place to live

Surely they can’t expect compliance with masks now that they have given a date for stopping the use of them, they would have been better to stop them at the same time as the vaccine passports?

I was going to suggest a street named after him but there's one already, I had to check first LOL

What about an award in his name for an outstanding young player at the club ? I'm sure most supporters would get behind this?

I know that Arch but I was thinking about something to mark his retirement, doesn't have to be something big if you understand me.

I get your point Ric and kind of agree, is there something else we could do to honour Tony ? There must be something we can do?

Apparently you can nominate people for an award under the UK Honours , maybe we should be looking at this ? Tony certainly falls into the MBE category of long term service to the community. https://www.gov.uk/honours/nominate-someone-in-the-uk

I think the general idea is that if you fail to notice the website is so bad and complete it then you are an easy mark for further scams

The other one is Bongo, book on never go out . One of our Sgts was nicknamed "Slippers"

I had Covid in 2020 and it took me about 2 months to feel better, constantly tired with no sense of smell, I now have a very strange sense of smell with a lot of things smelling "sour" if I can phrase it that way, otherwise I'm absolutely fit and well with no tiredness . Of course my age may be hindering my sense of smell returning that or I've smelled to may funky things over the years
