Thanks, Simon...I don't know about the unafraid part, but I'm not a
handgun guy. ;-)

Somehow the picture of you and a Glock makes me laugh.Whatever might be 
wrong with you, you come across as an unafraid soul who does not need
the 
false comfort of a dumb piece of anachronism.
Of the lot i like the lady picture numbered 8 on the site best. As usual
cannot express why but it gets across a message(sorry for the 
yuckspeak as usual, i try really) of addiction of doing something she
has to 
do quickly without any enjoyment.
Thanks for sharing
