    Thats what we in the trade call a gillie suit.. one for a bike its true
    but still a gillie suit.

    Obviously issued to the hyper fast dutch snipers. Gillie suits being
    a sniper thing

    Well, see, the problem is that I just use my normal account for it...
    And I think Dave does the same at his end... But I know it's something
    we need to investigate - Dutch had 'words' at the Goat on Fri....! 🙂

    Ummm I have many computers.. running many operating systems. And at the
    moment I use at least 7 of em at various times for newsgroups.

    Dont have the time or inclination.. 🙂 Kathy is welcome to set up
    her own account on the server at home tho.

    And what fun it is to make your first one all by yourself.
    The pride in the workmanship, the surety that you've
    successfully made the grade on the first attempt only to
    achieve that truly gut wrenching moment that is such a part
    of all military training - sacarasm from the instructor
    followed by comments on your parentage.

    Actually I only really enjoyed two courses - jump training
    (the most physical challenge I have ever endured due to short
    recovery times) and sniper (probably the hardest combination
    of mental/physical stress I've ever endured)

    I have no idea what selection is like and I'm glad I never
    found out.

    Cheers
