Goo,

Favorite saying of my IP was-

"Son, don't ever run out of altitude, airspeed and ideas at the same time!"

A girl phoned me the other day and said... Come on over, there's nobody home. I went over. Nobody was home.

Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself.

At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he know he can't.

I came from a real tough neighborhood. I put my hand in some cement and felt another hand.

I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.

I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.

I had plenty of pimples as a kid. One day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face.

I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.

Roshi,

I purchased 500 rnds of mixed UK .303 from Samco back in Jan. The total in the box was 475 rnds. That included a hand ful of "other" caliber rounds including 5 9mm rnds. All but a few rnds were dated 1941 & 42, Radaway Green. Bad part is that 150 rnds were Kynoch & Co, MK VIIIZ.

Glad I checked on the headstamps, because research tells me that MK VIIIZ is intended for the Vickers Machine gun and not safe for a rifle.

Personally I got shorted but I'm thinking of making another buy since they are the only game in town these days. I've heard of others who got batches with 50s dates.

I haven't had the opportunity to shoot any of it yet, but I'm hoping it is reliable for target practice.
