Change of Plan. Santa is bringing me a new Mountain Bike. You can have enough bins, but you can never have enough bicycles....
is it one of those dutch mountain bikes with stabilizers ?

LOL! For going over speed-bumps on the streets of Amsterdam? No. It´s my first-ever MTB with front-suspension. Which I always despised. I´ll take out my binocular-collection on Christmas Day just to remind myself that I need more bins like I need some extra fingers. (Or bikes...)is it one of those dutch mountain bikes with stabilizers ?
Meanwhile I hope you all get the bins that you deserve. If you´ve been Good.....
(So what´s the bins equivalent of a Sack of Coal?)

I think that would be delayed product release dates. OK fess up here. Who's not been so good?

I think that would be the proverbial "missing pony": "There's got to be a pony around here somewhere",
Perhaps an IOU for the Orion ULX ED bins for their new May 2009 ship date might be a birders' equivalent to a sack of coal.

So what´s the story with the Flaks? Are they usable as observation binos? Amazing to think that when they were young, they may have seen B52´s and and Lancasters droning overhead.....are there many like them left in usable or repairable condition? Come to think of it, you can use them on Xmas Eve to watch out for Santa coming......good !! GOOD !!!! i have been so good, ive got medals to prove it. 8-P as to the sack of coal, see my flaks.

hi sancho, yes they are very useable, very bright with a 70 degree fov. they might have clocked my dad, he flew short stirlings over germany 60 years ago and lived to tell the tale . some 300.00 to 350.000 were produced from about 1939 till 1945 they often turn up on ebay in all sorts of condition but the bits that go with them [ mounts, sights, containers, browrests, electrics etc, etc ] are hard to find, santa got clamped down the road last year so he is doing a fly past this year.

Last night I had a nightmare:
What if Santa has been hit hard by The Crisis, had to have Rudolph put down by the Vet, and is now on the run with all those gifts, .... and delivers Nothing this year?! :eek!:

Well, you could ask the Irish Government to re-capitalise him. They´ve just decided to give a Christmas Present to the Banks here....my pension. And they´re bailing out the Pig-Farmers who´ve been feeding dioxins to their pigs. So Santa and I have been in the wrong trades.....Banking and Pig-Farming is where it´s at. You screw up, the Government rewards you!

tough one, I guess my top three that I'd like would be:
Nikon 8x32 SEs
Kowa Highlanders (the prominar ones) - would they fit down the chimney?
Leica 7x42 Ultravid HDs

Not to me, he didn´t. Even my mountain bike didn´t arrive as the model had been discontinued. Don´t care, just ordered a better one in a sale!!!
