Subject: Re: wing failure
Stroke call your Mother you stupid f... idiot.
For your information those tiny ones as you call them he he
you can find everywhere in Cyprus.

I hate alu tanks and im not suprice you are suggesting  them since you are sick
on the head
and dot try to give me a lecture about you being  Dir. Everyone can see from
your
words that you are another "ego diver "

  Any way who the f...
told you that im using sherwood or other crab regs ? Im using Scubapro D400
with Mk20 and R380 with Mk20 Halcyon Hardplate and Wings.

Not only you idiots are swearing at me for
asking a simple question you  also started to put  words in my mouth now.

Im starting to get sick of this List where you people love to insult each other.
