Hmm , clever stuff , I always knew that accountants are just dodgy blokes with their morals removed:) 🙂 :p

And Alastair please dont apologise to anyone on my account as the I have nothing to apologise for. We only have a difference of opinion not a life threatning dilema.

Just because I dont use Spell check all too often doesnt mean people dont know what I am on about. But perhaps this is down to the fact that I type pretty fast so I dont waste so much time with these post and I can do other things.

I do a pretty good 35-45 WPM but I can still type and spell at the same time , I need to I’m paid to be online.

Also If you have had 4 or 24 hours sleep in the last 3 days is of no concern to me just watch out on those roads as I wouldnt want anything to happen to you or your family while you were out driving.

Nothing much is of any concern to you , I had you down as a pretty intelligent guy , unfortunately I misjudged this , sorry .

You don’t need to worry about my family , they won’t fit on the back of my Yamaha , the wife can run the kids around in her own car/SUV.

See you at East Fortune .

[B]Well sorry guys but some of us actually do care about the content of the gorund show as well as the airshow. I for one do actually buy stuff from the stalls and as a matter of fact if you buy mail order or over the net you usaully find you pay a postage charge well why not cut that charge out and buy the same item at a show. I gather none of you have heard of Show prices. Item are usually priced lower than you would get from a shop or mail order.
And then there is the wait to get it through the post when why what do you know at a show you actually get to look at the item and buy it there and then to have it in your hand that day WOW what a concept how come no one thought of that before.

Merlin , stop being an ass , I have heard of show prices , have you heard of warranties or product liability – try getting your cash back from a Market Trader when you’ve bought a fake print or a dud camera , I too collect aviation prints – I’ve never seen one at an airshow cheaper than I can purchase from a reputable dealer / studio – that way I can choose my frame and have it titled if need be , try buying a decent remarque or signed print at a market . If I’m spending hard earned cash I want the confidence that the kit I buy is what I want NOT some stuff marked down as “show prices”. The only thing I look out for at an Airshow is the second-hand books , model kits and burgers .
Please stop the childish postings , use your spellchecker and have a serious look at your grammar , you are making us Scots “avaition” enthusiasts look like idiots , I just hope the rest of the Forum don’t tar us with the same brush as you , apologies to the Forum from us Scots , especially to Damien .

I know quite a few people studying for economics degrees and one or two of my friends work in jobs where it is important to understand the economics of the UK – they are all pro-EU simply on economic grounds. Ever wondered whether thats why Tony want us in?

As a non-Sun reader ( although I did spot their headline ) I have spoken to two good friends who are economic analysts for the same stocks/futures trading company , one based in London and the other based in Hong Kong ( both rugby playing alcoholics ) we would be subsidising other less prosperous countries in the EU ( in fact we already do ) , and we would see a decline in dollar / yen investments , these investors see the UK as a firm stable trading platform with the backup of a good labour market , to put us on the same par as other less prosperous countries could cost us further jobs and investment . Both are of the same opinion that Mr Blair will NOT commit fully to Europe at present – there are signs of yen investment in the UK increasing in the very near future ( Toyota have just announced further investment at their Derby facility ) there are also strong rumours of a substantial ramp up of Semiconductor manufacture in the UK – there is plenty of spare capacity in the UK , there are two mothballed IC Fabs in Scotland alone.

Are there, dear friend, any politician who makes what their electorate wants?. Not at all, I am affraid. You are right. British politicians should pull the UK out because the people want it to…or not?: so why they don´t summon a reference to quit the Union?.

I think you will find that the majority of the British press is trying to force a referendum , one of the most popular , and normally pro-Labour papers published a headline last week with “1805 we beat the French , 1945 we beat the Germans , 2003 Blair surrenders to the EU – NO!!”. if Blair subjects us to any Euro lapdog crap he WILL lose the next General Election , we’re doing fine at present , we have the lowest unemployment figures in years , a mortgage interest rate running around 4% , a healthy economy , why would we want to subsidise some Euroholes ?? , Spain is fine for a holiday , but we certainly don’t want them as a family member.

And do you know why the politicians do that?. It´s just a question. Wouldn´t it be that they know what it benefits the country?

Which country ?? , certainly not the UK , if mainland Europe wants to unite into the US of E that’s fine , just leave us Brits out , the Europeans seem to want us more than we want them , I’ll state again I DON’T KNOW ANYBODY WHO IS PRO EUROPEAN , STICK THE EURO WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE , the UK is doing just fine right now , keep the pound !!

There was definately at least one cockpit section came back from the continent , it had been cut down the middle vertically but had been butted back together , maybe worth a phone call to Keith tomorrow to ask what happened to the rest of them . The film is crap too , definately not worth losing any Lightnings over.
