Happy Birthday dhfan.

But if this is a little

heard radio station, 20,000 people a month listen to it

then very few people heard him say this, so in fact only a very few people if any are running scared.

I think I may have, I know that I have a press photo of a Mustang lll with the A&AEE but not sure if it’s this one, I’ll have a look when I get home this evening.

I didn’t know that flood had such influence with the Chinese.

It would be the American’s fault 😉

Not much point – its all been done before.
And if you are going to point fingers then have the courage of your own convictions and name names. Referring to ‘a certain person’ in such a manner is akin to poking your tongue out behind their back. Why not wave ‘V’ signs too, while you are at it?
It was me he was referring to, everybody: I asked a question but it was never really answered… Actually it was quite relevant to this trip: if Fossett lost his navigation computer for more than two hours would he have been able to continue?

Flood

Ah cap and fit I think the phrase is.

What’s been done before, flown un-refuelled around the world solo, I thought Fossett’s attempt was the first, or have I missed something?

So you would like him to make use of a sextant and stop watch, makes sense in the 21st century !!! Looking back at your previous thread, I think your question was “why bother”, which by reading DamienB’s reply was answered within the subsequent few posts.

I guess you haven’t taken up a challenge before now or not tried to better yourself, still using a box brownie for the job are you ?

At least this will give a certain person something to knock in a few days time. As he did Ellen McArthur’s trip !!!!

Europe will feature in the next election, as will the fox hunting bill, the recent terrorism legislation and the war in Iraq. The question is will the British general public feel strong enough about any of the issues to come out and vote, I doubt it as the major parties are basically all singing from the same song sheet with very few differences.

I think you’ll find that Blair will still be in power for the foreseeable future, we can only wish that his majority will be greatly reduced and a more credible opposition is formed, however I doubt this as well.

But who is being anti EU, Sauron was merely pointing out the lack of enthusiasm in the Spanish referendum, less than half the population chose to vote. You are the one harking on about anti-Europeanism. Can I suggest that as you put it, YOU read what has been posted before YOU jump to conclusions.
