And to you blokes who are getting a bit too excited, all I can say is that you must live a sheltered life.

jjj, you need to practice your photoshopping. The highlights on BC and the scope are close. The image between his arms should be the scope barrel.

Blimey, and people dare to call us geeks.

They don't know what they are missing out on.

Well, that's one fantasy I can tick off my list- Brian, me and the scope. *sigh*... We don't need to go outside to play with the scope either.

Thanks for that pic Nettie-
It's put a great big grin on my face! I think I may have to get that printed and put it next to my astro piccies.



My scope looks better than "that" girls scope.

I bet she doesn't even know what to do with it

She'll probably fall over in those heels swinging that "thing" around and then squish all that make up all over that eye piece.

And then the wind and elements would ruin that perfectly manicured hair And then she'll probably end the night with doing some serious damage to someone's equipment with those pointy things- they look like weapons of destruction.

...and the guys reckon I need a cold shower and buckets of water thrown on me for oogling over Brian. I'm timid, meek and mild compared to you'll .

It's OK, I'll show her how it's done
"Ok this goes here.. and that goes there like that.."
"do we do anything with this?"
"no no we don't need that .... but... ok, we might need it later.... so I'll just put it over here with this thing for now."

Edit:
Just had another look at the photo, she reminds me alot of a young Denise Drysdale
