    laser eye surgery

    No one in their right mind would pay £395. I paid £2800 8 years ago at a London clinic, which was about the same as Optical Express once you added all the good options. I still think it was good value: £2800 one off payment vs 20 years of buying at least 2 pairs of specs every couple of years.

    What chokes for sporting clays?

    For the past year I have been using 1/2 and 1/2 and never fiddled with them whatever the target. Except for the last stand (really close rabbit)  about 6 weeks ago, when I put cyl in the bottom barrel.. Fast forward to last weekend. A 90 bird club shoot with a good mix of targets. 2nd from...

    Gamebore Blue Diamond

    I noticed this on Sunday at a club shoot. Lots of little bits of dimpled plastic all over the place, about the thickness of a Tesco carrier bag, but much stronger. The club cartridge was Lyvale english sporter fibre 28g and there were lot of people using them, but I cant be sure that's where...

    Never thought of asking prospective daughter in law to do the check up. Probably best not to run that past mrs h.

    Well man - or not?

    Since I turned 50, my doctor has started calling me in each year for an MOT. Can't be a bad thing really. Haven't had any fiddling with the prostate yet, but I guess it's only a matter of time. :startle:
