Hi Martin
Just been to the 'Cash converter' type shop which has these binos for sale. Breaker jl#4070 (might be sl#4070) look good and their asking £45. What is the diameter of the objectives? 70mm Did you get a look through them? Did you ask to? No, but would have done if you lot gave them the OK Did they feel like good value? Borderline, I'm no expert either which is why I asked here. Strangely, you have just given me one of those moments where I've been reminded, by seeing your post, of a dream I had last night. I get that quite a lot. In this dream, I was evaluating a pair of cheapish 70mm diameter objective binoculars with a girl, not sure if my sister or a girlfriend, by looking through them at half-arm's-length, holding them both ways round, to assess prism size, baffling, etc. (I'm no expert, though.) Strange coincidence! Another dream I had later, just before waking up for the last time, was very powerful. I watched a big passenger plane very low and nearby outside, on a street, turn, lose control, and nosedive into some houses on the next street to me. It was very vivid. At first, the plane had canards at the front, but that notion seemed to vanish from the dream shortly after it had crashed. I hope it wasn't a premonition! Fortunately I don't really believe in them! One dream I regularly had was that I was a horse or a dog running fast but effortlessly over the ground which then falls away and I'm now a bird flying high. It was at this point I'd think 'Hang on, I was a horse or a dog running but they don't have wing so how am I flying?' and then wake up. I looked this dream up and it basically meant that I was going to be successful. After finding out what it meant I've never had that dream since. I do hope this one was a premonition. :-) My dreams got a lot more strange and very detailed when I was prescribed Seroxat (probably too much info there) but seemed to have return to normal, err, I mean the way they were no that I'm off it.

My dreams got a lot more strange and very detailed when I was prescribed
Seroxat (probably too much info there) but seemed to have return to normal, err, I mean the way they were no that I'm off it. I am familiar with the effects of psychoactive drugs on dreams. Most interesting, if sometimes scary. As for Seroxat: MUCH sleep disruption for little or no reward, IME. Might as well spend your life on "E"s, given the disruption on your life via loss of sleep; and at least the "E"s will make you happy. At least for a short while. Hmmmm. But the dreams there are entirely different. Lucid. A whole-'nother-experience! Martin -- M.A.Poyser Tel.: 07967 110890 Manchester, U.K. http://www.fleetie.demon.co.uk |

Martin Seroxat is seriously f**ing dangerous, in that seriously - messes - with - your - thought - processes kind of dangerousness. Almost as scary as Larium. Well, maybe not. Nothing is quite as scary as Larium. Chef! Ergotamine ? as prescribed for migraines while I was working is Saudi in '82. I was hallucinating big time, and nearly fell off my bed whilst flying at 30,000 feet once ! My mate Dick saved me from almost certain insanity by flushing em down the bog and getting me on a plane back home sharpish ! Still have nightmares about that experience...... DH |
