    So how come the Met office have just issued a early darkness warning for tomorrow night??

    If I may ask, “A WHAT?”

    Seems to me people would be able to tell by opening their eyes, but I know that people are wholly incapable of helping themselves anymore, so I am not really surprised.

    Don’t quote me on this but usually, from what I have read before, the Air Force will do this type of thing when there is already a training mission, like a GLOBAL POWER or GLOBAL REACH mission on the scoreboard for a flight crew to accomplish. Basically, they’re going to waste the gas flying halfway around the world anyways, so why not stop by for a friendly wave?

    I am using Chrome now. I was using Firefox after windows “Ex-ploder” started to act up, but then I started having issues with Firefox when I downloaded a new version of it. I never could get it to run right after that so now I am using Chrome and have enjoyed stress free browsing for a few months now. Hopefully that will continue “fingers crossed”.

    Here in the old USA, if someone left a shotgun in my garden I’d keep the dam thing. But that’s just here, where gun loving crazy hicks like myself have no fear of an armed populace.

    BTW, ok, even being that this guy acted stupidly in light of what I consider ridiculous gun laws in Great Britain (just an opinion), He gets 5 years for turning one in? Jurist Prudence anyone?

    But we have had similar stories in the states like this one, where law abiding people get snared in some BS laws and it quite frankly really irritates me when it does.

    Anymore, the practice of Law is like a big game of GOTCHA!. Yea, what great people we are. Sad commentary on todays world.

    1) Oh I do recall a Soviet sub dragging away HMS Splendid’s sonar array. Who was chasing who there? Of course the best one is still the Kitty Hawk ramming that 671 that had somehow gotten right in front of her without the escorts or the carrier noticing.

    Just one question. Unless that Victor was in an emergency situation, why in the hell did it not try to get out of the way? That’s like playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded revolver, or am I missing something here? If it were me, I would not want to be steamrolled by a CV, but then again I was never in the Navy so I don’t know what the standing orders were.

    Unless of course the Captain of the Kitty Hawk was purposely trying to kill that Vic, then it would make total sense.

    But if anyone has any credible info on this, I would love to read it as it seems to me it would make an interesting read.

    It’s been acting slow me me also for 2 weeks or so, and i use Mozilla….to hell with any of that IE crap. Other forums that I frequent are fine, it seems to just be a problem with Keypub.

    I’m not complaining, just saying that I’m having issues also, don’t shoot the messenger 😀

    “In my aircraf, I experienced a very stiff stick yesterday which was not relieved by my big, muscular instructor (with a big moustache). I usually don’t develop such biological reactions on instructors, but only on F-16s. My mind wasn’t easy about it, i don’t really want to get back to the Hawk because if the instructor gives me a stiff stick i feel like i’m cheating my beloved F-16.

    What happened was this: i was playing with my instructor in the valley, rolling left and right together. After we jerked left, i came out on top and suddenly things got stiff.

    I am no expert on hydrolics but my big, strong, muscular instructor told me my stiff stick had something to do with body fluids moving to some piston of which i don’t know the use. I haven’t asked the mechanic yet about this stiff stick and the hydrolics involved, but i think i will like their explanation just as much as i liked it from my big, muscular instructor.

    They haven’t asked me to write a report on what i have been doing, but my instructor has told them a story which is credible for the rest of the world, but will keep us together i guess. Has anyone got any knowlege on the controls of human hydrolics on my biological piston that might shed some light on this?”

    That was very very funny Arthur lol.

    I had a good chuckle at that one, who in the hell did that guy think he was? Hopefully he got back on his meds, otherwise, he is probably in the planning stages of being the first human to land on mars HaHa. 😀

    I think f16isbest would fit in best with these two French Guys:
