Ah. just realised...this is is referring to the Parthians, who used the Palintonos, or 'bent backwards' composite bow,
that can be used when retreating, hence 'Parthian shot", corrupted down to "Parting shot"...

Go canal boating. 2 mph and swans coming on board to feast on wet bread,
their rough mouths wearing away the skin on the top of your thumb....wonderful.

What is a ' .webp' file?
It tries to download something, but nothing...

Ooh...hadn't thought of that.
What's 'D&P'?
Here are a couple of pics that show the adjustments- focus, iris, and two that are pre-set in slots.
There is a photocell by the opening at the bottom as well....

Does anyone recognise these two bits of optics?

1666, apparently.
No trains to throw about though....??

Britain's strongest is a T8-9, so around 240 mph, so around F4.
The T scale is way more scientifically based than the F scale.
I'm in Figueres, NE Spain, on a job, and the locals have been complaining about the heat....

How would be unique?
Would the mistake have been spotted and the metal removed in the time it took to to mint one coin?

Yeah...sorry 'bout that....
My wine merchant was hassling me for my overdue account, the boat engines both need an overhaul,
and I need to build a new submarine.
Too soon?

I am very pleased to point out that my reaction to this post has made Alfnail's points total equal the number of listings.- 692/692.
A full reaction point for every posting is a hell of an achievement, and just shows the quality of his postings.

Years and years ago, I saw a listing finish with the winning bidder having bid over a million for a piece of hopeful crap like this.
The winning bidder teamed up with a mate to bid the item up.
Both had zero feedback.
The winner's ebay name was 'making_a_mockery' and I'm still laughing.
Genius.

I am writing this at 20 past 7 in the evening, in the first week of June, and in my lounge it's 12˚C

Bloody freezing.
Got a scarf on.
Indoors.
In June.

What slow cold start after a cold shock- clematis almost non- existent, caesalpinia gilliesii may be about to shoot, but may be dead,
and in the greenhouse the turmeric is stubbornly refusing to throw up shoots.
Only one overwintering echium survived this year, but a whole crop of seedlings popped up
in the compost when I re-potted the Confederate Rose, which I hope chooses this year to start flowering,
but things better warm up for that to happen......
I had to type 'echium' so many times until i managed to stop this site from typing 'schism'....
.....having schisms popping up in the garden would really be surreal.....:-)
