Andy must be older than that.
The first heavier-than-air craft capable of controlled free-flight were gliders. A glider designed by Cayley carried out the first true manned, controlled flight in 1853. Just the Yanks with their labour saving device claiming the credit again!

Perhaps tattooing “cretin ” on his forehead (if he has one) would be more suitable.

Would that be the gun law in Burma?:D

Taken completely out of context we are talking about Afghanistan not the UK,and yes I have had a close friend die of drug addiction.

and yes I did miss you in the same way people miss haemorrhoids!

Maybe it will give those at Filton a kick up the bottom, it was 10 years ago yesterday that the last Concorde to fly landed in Bristol and she sits unloved and out of view(except at a distance) of the general public.

Believe this if you will….

I feel crap at the moment so staying under the duvet and not feeling guilty about the jobs I wanted to do.
1 get up because the house or family had a serious emergency-none.
2 All other jobs -got to wait.
3 Phone except private phone for family-off the hook.
4 Lunch with Newcastle Brown in bed. Dinner with a noggin of scotch in bed.
5 Quick look at what you lot were up to in bed with the laptop.
6 I could get used to this. Goodnight all!

Yes my suggestions are serious but due to the fact that I am rather ill at the moment I have not got the time or energy to expound on them at this time. As soon as I feel better believe me I will be back to justify my thinking.
