And if the missus says she wants you to buy her something new that goes from 0 - 100 in two seconds.......dont go buying her a new pair of bathroom scales...!!!

Charlie Bukowski 411 Report post Posted February 20, 2018 Ask Morrie works for Moira Murdoch , those black and yellow jobs he can get are the best by far , ask Moira for her opinion if not sure , and a bargain , not off the back of a truck - but a real bargain!

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted February 20, 2018 In the end, if you "really" want and need a pair of binocs, then first thing is the POWER and apparently 10x50 is very popular. As for the brand? Try a few in the price range you are in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opto says eyesight ok and only need $10 specs for reading so I guess it's whatever suits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thats actually one of the really fun ones off the "Joke Thread" on here). Actually P8, can beat that 2 seconds by a fair way as the missus is only 5 ft tall and 46kgs. A bit old for an apprentice allowance though. Ponderosa8 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
