Almost enough for a snowball....

Merry Xmas!

Steve.

am I alone in detecting some techiness in our esteemed Super Mod today? There is a ring of grumpiness around his replies that has - either intentionally or otherwise - wound a few fellow forumites up the wrong way.What's up Nige? Due to go to lunch...

Anyone going to be wearing their Flyer Cap at Olympia this weekend? :?

FG

Kembles toilets were out of use today, no water, no tea, but coffee was available :shock: What did they make the coffee with. Revised landing fees don't come in till Jan. Be warned those of short endurance.

Not again :( It's all very laudable but wouldn't Sir Bob get more dosh on promising not to put us through that wretched cacophony for a second time with even less talented participants.

Just watched the first episode of this on BBC1 - absolutely bloody fantastic.

Roll on the next episode!

Should probably have just sent this directly to the music guru himself, Rob S, but I'll post it here..

On TV last Saturday this song (Richard Harris first?) was deemed to have underlying meaning too rude to be detailed (at any time) on TV - so...

As winter draws ever closer, I've been thinking about investing in a jacket for flying. I've seen a few types I like, but have had a thought, and this will seem stupid to the majority of you.................

Is there such a thing as a left handed...

Some of us are better (hello Timothy) with the search engine than others, but there is a wealth of useful stuff lurking around in the depths of the forums.

Might it be worth having a link to the more delectable/informative threads? Or extracting...

The Jez Clarkson's show - er...Top gear :? Tested the new Dodge Viper...

What a car, what fun, what a future classic?

Which do you prefer?

Shame Clarkson can't drive...although the stig did very well considering the wet track..

I fear it'll be Bush. :(

I don't want this thread turning in to schoolboy humour but as someone who has spent many happy hours flying across the USA I have to say I won't bother in the future.

Immigration was always a hassle at Miami. Coming back in from the Bahamas I've...

The Perfect day ......for Her.....

8.15 - Wake up to hugs and kisses.
8.30 - Weigh in 2kg lighter than yesterday.

I'm off to London with a few 1000 friends today to hopefully convince Mr B-Liar that hunting with dogs (we prefer to call them Hounds) should be off - or at least at the bottom of the political agenda.

Using the Parliament Act in this day and age...

This seems to be a good day for polls, so...

On another thread our attention was drawn to the fact that there's a TRA around Leeds Castle to allow some politicians to have a meeting without the risk of being flown into (ahem). It was further...

Following Davids whats your number and spending some lovely days out with fellow aviators in various hoteltries planned and unplanned, I was wondering what the average forumite drinks??

Isn't it about time the combined expertise of the SF's produced some FEQ's on the regular questions

In the light of his badinage with young men on the Internet is it time for Rob S to leave the closet?

As some might know, I am a stickler for the correct use of less and fewer .

For the grammar school boys and below, the rule is that if you can count them, it's fewer and if you can't it's less .

So, I would like less milk and fewer sugar cubes...

.. with apols to Nigel and Vince - names chosed as there are no other Nigels and Vinces posting and it avoids confusion.

A Nigel loves flying complex types and gets much enjoyment from the flight itself and the procedures involved in it.

A...

Well the thread looked a little devided on this one so I thought a poll was needed.
:lol:

Rather like the Queens Flight, will anyone be flying a St. Georges Flag from the cockpit during taxi & parking as football fever hits the aviation community.
Will someone defy passport and security regulations by having their faces...

This has taken me most of today to sort out,
A solution I found on the web is below.....

If I could lay my hands on the person, :x :x :x :x

For the victims of the 680180.net adware, there is information on what system...

Seems like there's some fairly polarised views about the value of Spotters around these parts. Being an X-Spotter, I did of course take up flying so I can drool over a Biz-Jet at closer range, but try and hide it as well as I can.

But to be fair...

Not really non-aviation - I'm thinking very much of the traditional British club-house.

The question is, how many people think that the price of their Sunday lunch/bacon buttie etc. is at all important (assuming that some natural pricing...

Having met up with Adam and Mike Cross (not forgetting Bernard) last weekend the discussion of a PPL memoires came up. :roll:

If I were to compile and do a bit of editing, proof reading and 'publishing' (quite why I would want to do this is a...

So it's teabreak at the flying club, and you like your tea strong, but lukewarm. The tea-lady (let's call her Beryl) always serves tea piping hot from her Urn, and since you only have a few minutes before your next flight you need it to cool as...

Here's another classic brainteaser for a non-flying Sunday afternoon!

You are a contestant on a gameshow. In front of you are three boxes, one of which contains the keys to tonight's star prize - the aircraft of your dreams - and the other boxes...

There seem to be a lot of polls at the moment, so I thought I'd create a poll on Poles.

Who wore a black arm band to mark the demise of the Routemaster today :roll:

but I don't. My computer is gradually getting slower as I do the web browsing stuff. Sometimes taking as long as 20 seconds (or so it feels) to tune into a page. Have I got too much stuff stored somewhere and if so where, or do I need to do...

. . . and pilot, currently on Question Time, BBC 1. Don't suppose they'll discuss aviation though.

Hello Mr Morley, this is eurhwefbdv from the CAA

When my brother and I were kids there used to be plenty of ball bearings around. I don't know where they came from, but we'd always be playing with them, or making things out of them. There was even a ball bearing factory just outside the village...

Can anyone remind me how to stop that wretched paperclip from asking if I need help writing a letter?

I'm writing several letters today, and my peaceful nature is being sorely tested.

Thanks!

ok

Has anyone built and flown a Spitfire 36D

I was just wondering whether copying photos and material from other sites and posting here or elsewhere infringes anyones copyright! Presumably if the photo/ text is marked copyright then the original owner can protest and take action?

Going there soon--what is best
1---use credit card
2----trav cheques
3---take currency
4---get money from cash machine

thanks

Stare for about 30 seconds, and you should see a giraffe appear.

Clever stuff.

This is a superb piece of video! I won't give away what happens... :shock:
