More Nuke ET or Sonarman from my experience. Certainly no Snipe rate. |

The old Radar Plotters, or those blessed with the ability to write backwards on a piece of perspex in a cloud of pink foo-foo powder, would absolutely love this product. Engine room ratings - never.

How do you suppose the polish sticks to the greasy nails? Besides dragging knuckles scratches the finish even if you get it to stick. |

Yes Pedro - the writing backwards - torpedo fired, we got ERIF! That was 1973, haven't forgotten it ( the then AB Thompson) |

Being dyslexic helps in that job. |

Ric,
When it comes to dyslexia anything is better than being a tattooist with the same problem. This from an old post of mine which was in response to Robin who is uppermost in our thoughts at this time.
The worst tattooist in the world was definitely Professor Rex Zita who was based in Plymouth. Not only was he a terrible artist, but he always did all the scroll work on a tattoo before entering the text. As a result there must be a load of guys in my age bracket walking around with “Mum & D “ or “My Darling Wife & Chil “ on their upper biceps. He was also dyslexic which isn’t a good thing to be if you are a tattooist. I once saw a Marine who had had the picture of the Apache chief, Geronimo, tattooed on his back by Rex, and underneath the word “Germalino” (the name of a then popular antiseptic ointment) was forever etched into his skin.
