OK, I am game,

Ed80-120 on an Eq6 is my bet.

Considering Jen has been "dabbling" in the black arts with her reflector and having a devil of a time with alignment and "jenhandling" then I reckon the refractor is the go, on either the HEQ5 or the EQ6.....

Dobs are fine, but hmmmmm, Jen, a bit too predictable.....

Using the force.....to figure this out.

Am I right?

Cheers

Chris

Nope, not stalking, but I have to say.....FIGJAM!

Just used my brains and figured out what you would buy, based on how well I know you and what I think you would get.....

Cant help it if I have talent (he says modestly )

What do I win?

Cheers

Chris
