    Ex Royal Marine who joined up before WWII and competed in fencing. Went on to be an Olympic Fencing Coach and Stunt Fight coordinator for swords etc. But for me it is the fact he was the stand in to do the Lightsabre fighting in the original Star Wars that made it for me.
    Chief, how do I range up/down again?????

    LL? or CF+F45 - All a PWO needs.

    The 50-50-90 rule: Any time there is a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90 percent probability it will turn out wrong.

    If in doubt blame the Loggies. It is normally their fault.
