RE: Books(again)

>>How many weekly/monthly aircraft publications does everyone buy

A LOT! I didn’t buy my first Air international or FSM until I was 17. It was another 3 years before my collection really kicked in but a full time job helped at the time. 🙂
My library has been 15 years now in the growing.

OK.

ModelArt (bi-monthly)
Fine Scale Modeller
Scale Aircraft Modelling

World War 2 History (bi-monthly)

Don’t even get me started on books.. 🙂

>>in fact how much do you spend per month

TOO much, probably well over AUD$100/month including subscriptions. I have cut back recently to try and catch up on some reading.

>>and what do you do with them when you,ve read them???

I am a collector, I spend too much on them to simply throw them away.
Storage will be a problem in another 5-10 years time thats for sure. I will need a bigger apartment before too long. I have a lot in boxes at the moment pending the purchase of new bookcases.

RE: Quiz: Name that movie.

Bugger I missed this – I knew number 1, and in fact it was the actor Teli Savalas as Sgt.Guffy who said it!

T5!

1,000 posts, well done mate. Love the animated banner!

RE: Beauty contest shame

Nigeria? Are you sure? Ms.Panama has taken the crown now after the Russian girl was sacked, so Panama should be the next venue.

RE: Latest update

Qantas are now facing law suite over their involvement in penny pinching, with familly members having to pay upto and over $3300 for a ticket to fly into Bali on mercy missions, a normal ticket doesn’t cost more than $800 return, but Qantas are claiming that their insurence is pushing up the price of the tickets. An investigation is now underway by the consumer industry.

WHAT? I hope the ACCC deal with it! A lot of insurance firms are honoring travel insurance claims after this tradgey despite policies not covering terror acts. QANTAS recently revealed a good profit for the last quarter, WAKE UP and have a HEART you SH#TS!!

RE: Tokyo..

Its a combo of the Tokyo Motor show and the Auto Salon. A lot of the vehicles are radical – or modified – designs yes.

Tokyo..

Thats not a motor show – THIS is a motor show!

God, I miss Japan – (sniff..)
