[jeff spinney]

dude you totally said sex

[longliner45]

dammit jeff ,,your only gonna keep gettin points for smart ass comments like that,,,,longliner,,,now find me a sextant

[Frosty]

When I went to buy my #$%tant years ago( it wasnt me that wanted it it was a friend) I was embarrassed by a young girl working at the chandlers. I walked around looking at stuff hoping a male person would come along.

No wonder my friend sent me in to buy it.

Eventually she came to me and asked if she could help , I just could'nt say the word so I bought a packet of chewing gum instead.

I dont know what a #$%tant is but with a name like that I can only imagine it is something to do with having babies.

I dont like chewing gum.

Be a man John and tack a string to a protractor and have a go at it.

Go to E-bay and search for 'sextant'. There's about 150 of them.

[longliner45]

thanks ..any brand I should look for?

[timgoz]

I think C-Plath (sp) may have stopped making them. They were good. I had a mid-sized Heath ex- RN sextant.

Good hunting Longliner.

Get out Frosty, no way you can have electricity anywhere you want to!

Next you will be telling me that you can store it in a box!! Ha Ha, and some people reckon we can fly too!

[Frosty]

No its true I tell you. I buy them at the supermarket. Its not in a box at all that would be silly but in a tube thing. We got loads of them here Im surprised you hav'nt heard of them.
