    So you didn’t spit the pipe-tobacco and yak poo out then? 😀

    Good call.

    I guess we can omit you and old shape from the organ donor registry then :rolleyes:

    Nope, they can use anything they want. I’ve signed up to the lot.

    I would say no. 18 is a good enough mag. but 21mm lens is going to fail you as soon as it gets a bit cloudy. Are they recommended on a Bird Watchers site? This is a good sign to pick out bins that have a quality enough to show a lot of detail.

    And, they look like the £4.99 ones from the garage.

    Moggy, because we did it in a civilised way. Bang.
    You are well read enough to know that nothing the Japs did in WW2 had any dignity for their opposition. Their behaviour makes the Gas chambers look like a cream tea.
    It’s a pity the US only had two ready weapons.

    The place abounds with rumours, one of which is that the person who owned the field got greedy and sold it to one of those delightful (sic) development companies for £3M….edited

    And, finally, the cafe is open. Super baps, tea, coffee, you name it. (OK Carla?).

    I refer the honourable gentleman to the anser I gave in August 2009. Thread called Isle of Wight.

    Nowthen, which cafe? The real one or the make-shift hut round the back?

    I feel you are overstating the case somewhat.

    If that were true, BAE systems would be nowhere near the JSF project now, nor would Rolls Royce who after all, are the real Vtol experts and who as far as I’m aware didn’t suffer collective brain drain over the Pegasus engine either. The US would not have foreign companies so intimitely concerned with a national defence project if they didn’t need them.

    For the 10% development funds we put in, our workload is out of all proportion to that, which to me would indicate that perhaps we do have some VTOl expertise that the US wanted on board. Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that LM don’t have the experience with VSTOL that Boeing does, since it was the old McD that had collaborated on the Harrier, thus it is reasonable to assume that the VSTOL knowledge at BAE and RR is superior to what LM and NG had.

    BAe fully supported the brain drain, why risk one of the the biggest defence contracts ever made?
    ITYF that VTOL expertise is more to do with the whole aerodynamics around the nozzles and the intake with the CofG management.
    The rest of your post supports me, if the US wants it, they buy it…and everybody has a price.

    His visa was issued in June 2008. His ticket – not one-way, incidentally – was purchased just a few weeks ago.

    I don’t think anybody buys one way, there are so many cheap deals on returns they are mostly cheaper. I often fly out to Canada on A.Can but back with BA. We book a return trip for each leg of the journey and cancel the legs we don’t need. Crazy world.

    As for this terrorist, is he in a US State where execution is permitted?

    All we ever hear here is that Islam is not to blame…radical Islam is.
    It’s not portrayed as a religious issue…rather as a political issue that happens to occur via members of a particular religion.

    I can see your tongue coming through your cheek from here!
