As long as we understand that fox hunting is a country sport, and has nothing to do with controlling
the fox population.

Otherwise why would foxes be dug out of their earths the night before a hunt, then released when the hunt
is approaching ? Slitting their pads first to make it easier for the hounds to follow their scent.

Oddly, Sky seems to be the most professional, and often gets news stories on air well in advance of the BBC.

I agree with that, even allowing for the constant add breaks.

Sky News coverage of the last royal wedding was far far better than that of the BBC. (yes I was the one who watched it :))

From the moment the royal couple left the abbey, to the moment they arrived back at Buck House, not one word of
commentary. Marvellous.
Against the BBC’s constant inane chatter.

Watched Kingsman tonight. Not too bad

What a glorious day, just sorting through a few hundred pictures.

Interesting to learn that the Hunter had an afterburner . !

I quite like this one too.

Baldrick:
“What I want to know, Sir is, before there was a Euro there were lots of different types of money that different people used. And now there’s only one… type of money that the foreign people use. And what I want to know is, how did we get from one state of affairs to the other state of affairs”

Blackadder:
“Baldrick. Do you mean, how did the Euro start?”

Baldrick:
“Yes Sir”

Blackadder:
“Well, you see Baldrick, back in the 1980s there were many different countries all running their own finances and using different types of money. On one side you had the major economies of France, Belgium,Holland and Germany, and on the other, the weaker nations of Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy and Portugal. They got together and decided that it would be much easier for everyone if they could all use the same money, have one Central Bank, and belong to one large club where everyone would be happy. This meant that there could never be a situation whereby financial meltdown would lead to social unrest, wars and crises”.

Baldrick:
“But this is sort of a crisis, isn’t it Sir?”.

Blackadder:
“That’s right Baldrick. You see, there was only one slight flaw with the plan”.

Baldrick:
“What was that then, Sir?”

Blackadder:
“It was bolxxxks”.

That is a very good point of view. Though I have never stood outside an airshow I am happy to say that my interest in aviation was started by attending an airshow and I’ve never looked back. My late parents never realised how grateful I was, and still am, to them for taking me to that first one.

Same here, although the experienced was enhanced when being a cadet in the ATC.
