given the unpresidented popularity of the catty at the moment,what have you got/had? who 'cut their teeth' on a milbro? as you probably know ime a bit of a catty nut and have been known to make one or two. i can remember my first catty was a gift from an old neighbour called Fred Reid,it had been his sons ,it was a milbro lacking elastics my mum fitted it with kniker elastic! well it was worse than useless so it was consigned to the bottom of the toy box,wish i had it now,theyre worth £40.00 on a bad day!

I've got a Pro Diablo II, but nowhere to practise

I'm not sure how the local constabulary would react nowadays if they caught me practising on some waste ground, like we used to do when we were kids - we used to spend hours shooting tin cans at the local rec with my mate's Black Widow, and nobody used to bat an eyelid in those days!
