Retlaw.
Hmmmmm! I would have to see that to believe it.....being a nurse meant that I was privileged(I'm not sure that is quite the right word) to see a lot of wing wangs as retlaw puts it..........most of them would be hard pressed to accomodate 5 ha'pennies.....and the vast majority fell into the category of 'needs a pin to get it out'.

Anyway, I was always told that 'it isn't the size of the cannon, but the power of the shot' that matters.
