Telescope Reviews: Re: Zeiss 7x42 FL

< Kenny, a recent thread on Birdforum is pre-announcing a Zeiss Victory FL 7x32, and claims it got into existence because of comments made on that forum. So it can happen that somebody listens... >

Yes , well , some of us KNOW who's listening on THAT forum , don't we ? :-)

As for YOUR post PAUL , although very interesting ( and accurate -- I was VERY impressed after a few minutes of handling a couple of Ultravids a while ago ) it made me wonder WHY you bought the Zeiss FL in the first place ? :-)

Notwithstanding , Paul , your report made such a pleasant change from the twaddle it followed , which at least DID include the following extract :

< The rubber coating smells of rubber Joe,which came as a surprise to some members of the birdforum I occasionaly visit. >

Self - appointed legend Napier ,

Although having little option but to generously forgive not so much your omitted letter in the word which SHOULD have read OCCASIONALLY , but your glaring error in not having inserted a comma before the word " Joe " in your above sentence , without which it indicates either a reference to a mystery substance known as " Rubber Joe " or means nothing at all , I must concede :

THAT , Napier , is the first thing you have EVER posted to CN which came close to making me chuckle .

Indeed , one can easily see why you gave up trying to become a comedian all those years ago , when you were in your late forties .

I felt both flattered and embarrassed by another post in another thread , when my name was mentioned in the same breath as that of Joad , who is a GENUINE intellectual .

Napier , I'm sure you must feel exactly the same way about YOUR name being mentioned in the same breath as mine .

The three of us standing side by side , metaphorically and intellectually speaking , could be very well likened to that famous British comedy TV sketch , featuring the recently departed and sadly missed Ronnie Barker , sandwiched between the towering John Cleese and the diminuitive Ronnie Corbett .

Disgusted , Lancashire .
