Well, it was fun to meet with you all yesterday. I’m sorry that I could not stay for the whole day and that I did not get the chance to speak with everyone there. However I thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour of the Breitling Fighters and Lee Proudfoot’s talk. Thanks Ashley!

I wouldn’t give up on it coming out on region 2 DVD. There’s a series called ‘The High Life’ that was shown ages ago that we’ve been waiting years for on either video or DVD, and it’s finally been released on both! (Anyone ever see that one? Very funny series) So PoC may yet get it’s chance.

Just saw this on another forum, so shamelessly nicked it for y’all to read here:

ooh, I’ve not seen this post before and it’s something that *really* gets on my nerves, the use of text-style spelling. Some of my friends constantly email in text style and their messages verge on the unreadable!

I can understand and sympathise if someone is dyslexic but there’s no excuse for sloppiness or laziness.

And anyway, these days most phones have predictive text on which negates the need for text style writing, so as soon as the ‘yoof’ move on from the text fad I’ll be happy….

When we flew to the US back in April this year, I was lucky enough to see a pair of B-2 Spirit bombers fly underneath our 777 at about 60 degrees of angle to our direction of travel. They were moving pretty fast but I spent about the next half an hour watching them – you could see the dots for a good while and the contrails (black and sooty ones) for ages.

I can imagine how other things might appear across long expanses of sky after seeing those.

With a strong streak of Burns-ness, I’m sure…
