Nope – I don’t think any tax payers money goes to the Daily Telegraph.

A friend has just left the DTel after many years – told me the place is filling up with people from the Daily Mail – no surprise then they print this sort of rubbish. I wonder what the report is really about?

Good rant. 🙂

The ultimate pet of convienence, put it outside and it will, go through your bin

Cats are smart but I’ve yet to find one that can open a wheelie bin :confused:

poop on your property

Correction – dig a hole, poop in it and bury it neatly. Now show me a dog that can do that. No, you have the follow the thing with a pocket full of plastic bags.

kill everything in sight (for fun)

With the notable exception of our neighbour’s Spaniel

sit on car bonnets (and knacker your paintwork)

Yes? They’re warm. Besides I found my cat very useful for polishing the paintwork.

walk across your kitchen work surfaces

Mine preferred computer keyboards, books and newspapers while you were reading them. Best cure is worming tablet – they sulk for the rest of the night.

stop feeding it and it will find another owner

Told you they were smart.

I’m going to addopt the cat owner attitude…….. I just don’t care!!

It not that cat owners don’t care – they just can’t get the cat to do differently and have become a bit more chilled to the situation.

Best advice, one I give to friends, buy a water pistol. It doesn’t do any harm but cats hate being wet and will learn to stay away.

G-AEZF

I met the chap who nows owns the aircraft a month or so ago down in Rochester. He came to a talk.

The aircraft survives but far from the state shown in the pic here. The description of the frame in the other thread matches the photos he showed me. But, he is making steady progress with the restoration – static display condition of course.

I like Scions – lovely little plane. More power to anybody who wants to look after one.

PS – reg is G-AEZF – can a Mod change the finger trouble in the title please? 😉

That’s better than what I thought it might be.

And delete “what”. :p

I’m off to write out alliteration 100 times 🙂

I just couldn’t get the metaphor / simile / onomatopoeia / alliteration stuff right,

You need to ask an 11-year-old about that one. They get set writing exercises these days that must include a simile, an aliteration and a metaphor. Whatever happened to encouraging creative writing?

You can have an extra point if you correct my previous post 😀

20/20

Thats better than what I thought it might be.

Chase aircraft to record the first separation? Unlikely to be Short Bros aircraft – I would have expected them to use their Scion. Possibly press?

The weather on 5th Feb 38 was too rough for the planned separation to take place and it took place the next day as a spur of the moment thing because conditions were ideal, all apparently unobserved. Remarkable really considering the number of aircraft following the day before.

The well known sequence of photos and film is of the second separation on 23rd February.

Shows how much can be gleaned from sharing a couple of pics.
