    Three different people have used it in this thread, so I'm guessing it's not just a typo.
    Na, we are probably just bad spellers.

    Thanks. Great pics, nonetheless. I remember those angle-head flashlights from Boy Scouts. Floating in the grog, you say? Yuck.

    Yes, it's a DINING IN...! And I fondly remember them from my Army officer days (didn't own a kilt in those days, though). Great pics!
