I’ll be watching that then! I’m just slightly outside Sheffield, and theres several bits of evidence of raids here (missing hoses in rows of terraces, and a couple of good craters.)

There’s rumoured to be the wreck of a german bomber close by, but I’ve never managed to track it down.

Heard about this late last night.

Video of him and the mighty V12 XJS at Bathurst

What terrible scenes on TV and in the papers today, Union Jack attacked on the cenotaph has the be the worst for me.

…

My reactions to news last night (and indeed after the first attacks) was one of utter disgust and I believe in the hardest action against this organised thuggish behavior, this country must look like a complete disgrace to others.

I couldn’t agree more.

Old but good!

Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal
Aviation Administration, and it was shortly before Christmas when the
FAA examiner arrived.

In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the
reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork
was in order.

The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer
harnesses, the landing gear, and Rudolf’s nose. He painstakingly
reviewed Santa’s weight and balance calculations for the sled’s enormous payload.

Finally, they were ready for the checkride. Santa got in and
fastened his seatbelt and shoulder harness and checked the compass.
Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa’s surprise, a
shotgun.

“What’s that for?” asked Santa incredulously.

The examiner winked and said, “I’m not supposed to tell you this,
but you’re gonna lose an engine on takeoff.”

:diablo:

Would that have been an example of RiciLeaks?…….:D

Something like that!! 😀

I’m checking interpols warrant list and booking flights now, just to be on the safe side.

The current Act is dated 1989, and came into force in 1990. It has been revised since. Before that we were on amendments of the 1939 Act, which is why things will be different to what you signed in the 60’s.

Security clearance is something completely different to the Offical Secrets Act. The Official Secrets Act applies to everybody in the UK anyway; its law. What you sign is basically a statement that says you will abide by it. Most places will have you sign a slightly different statement on leaving.

As for “saying no more” the Act isn’t restricted. You are allowed to talk about the Act itself. So long as you don’t disclose what you were doing, or where you were to be required to sign the statement, everything’s fine.

There’s the Act for anybody that wants to read it. Note there’s nowhere on there that you sign.What you will have signed if you work around the MOD is something like this:

Which are handed out in sheafs to cadets, recruits and anybody else that might require it.

Security clearances? Have some light reading.

If ever you fill in one of their forms, its like a passport form on steroids. What was the name of your Dad’s pet dog, dates of birth of grandparents.. :rolleyes:

None of the above is restricted (its not even sensitive enough to be unclassified.) and is available in the public domain.

Hope this goes some way to clearing up confusion.

It depends on the level of security clearance that your job demands.

Whatever, 007.

:rolleyes:
